BOOK REVIEWS 



The Forest Ranger, by John D. Guthrie. 

 Richard G. Badger, the Gorham Press, Bos- 

 ton, Mass. Price, $1.50. This is a book 

 of verses, collected and edited by John 

 Guthrie, which he has been getting together 

 for the past fifteen years. Many of them 

 appeared originally in the pages of forest 

 news letters issued on the different Nation- 

 al Forests. Poetical or literary merit is 

 claimed only for a few but they surely re- 

 flect the daily life and work of the Forest 

 Ranger in the wide and beautiful forest 

 lands of the West. Some are frankly 

 parodies, some rhymes and jingles and a 

 few are songs most familiar to the ranger 

 and hummed around his lonely camp fire 

 on the trail. The desire of the editor to 

 bring together and put on record a true 

 expression of the spirit of these men who 

 have heard the "call of the forest and of 

 the distant places" is well met by the little 

 volume. The book is prefaced by a charac- 

 teristic letter from Gifford Pinchot, in 

 which he says to the editor : "In collecting 

 these verses, you have put me, with every 

 other Forest Service man, deeply in your 

 debt." Mr. Guthrie's work was a labor 

 of love and we predict for it a warm wel- 

 come, worthy of the spirit of its prepa- 

 ration. 



Practical Tree Repair, by Elbert Peets, 

 259 pp., il., $2.00. Robt. N. McBride & 

 Company, New York. 



No science is more firmly founded on 

 known facts and methods than that of tree 

 repair and the prevention of tree diseases. 

 The author of this intensely practical book 

 gives clearly and concisely complete in- 

 struction covering the treatment of wounds, 

 rot-fungi, boring insects, filling of cavities, 

 bracing, materials used in filling, treatment 

 of cavities without filling, etc. Illustrated 

 from photographs and diagrams, this book 

 is useful alike to the owner of a home and 

 to the man who intends to take up tree 

 repair work. 



TREES OF INDIANA 



A new book of 300 pages on "The Trees 

 of Indiana" has just been issued by the 

 Department of Conservation of the State 

 of Indiana. It contains a scientific de- 

 scription and a full-page illustration of 

 each of the native trees of Indiaya. The 

 qualities and uses of the wood are 

 given and the value of each species for 

 shade and for forest planting is discussed. 

 This is a book that should be in the hands 

 of every wood lot owner and of everyone 



who is interested in our native trees. It is 

 especially recommended for teachers. It 

 will enable them to teach their pupils to 

 know our native trees. Any teacher can 

 have as many copies as he can use to ad- 

 vantage in his school work. This book is 

 free for the asking, but since the supply 

 is limited, if a copy is desired application 

 should be made at once. Send your order 

 to the Department of Conservation, office 

 of the State Forester, Indianapolis, In- 

 diana. 



Identification of the Economic Woods of 

 the United States, by S. J. Record, $1.75. 

 Revised and enlarged second edition, John 

 Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York. 



The main differences between this edition 

 and the first (1912) are as follows: (i) 

 The Key has been entirely rewritten and 

 rearranged, several new woods are in- 

 cluded and more of the common names are 

 given; (2) the lists of references and the 

 general bibliography have been brought up 

 to date; (3) an Appendix has been added 

 which amplifies some of the subject matter 

 of Part 1, and also includes considerable 

 new data on wood structure. 



In grouping the woods in the Key more 

 attention has been given to their general 

 similarity than to special features, thus 

 bringing together for effective contrast the 

 kinds which are most likely to be confused 

 in practice. Attempt has been made to
