CONSIDER THE WOODLOT TO KEEP IT PRODUCTIVE 



Attractive camp sites, beautiful scenery, 

 pure mountain air and spring water, trout 

 fishing in season, are some of the attrac- 

 tions offered free to the public. 



Nearby are the well-known mountain 

 lake resorts — Culvers' Lake, Lake Owassa 

 and Swartswood Lake, where fishing, boat- 

 ing and bathing may be had. This region 

 is easily accessible by motor over good 

 roads, and by railroad so that it may be 

 reached in a little over three hours from 

 Jersey City or Newark. 



The Department is planning to enlarge 

 this property to include forty thousand 

 acres and create a great State Forest Park 

 extending for thirty-five miles along the 

 mountain from Delaware Water Gap to 

 the New York State line. 



This area will afford exceptional oppor- 

 tunities for the practice and demonstration 

 of forestry management and protection, 

 and at the same time will doubtless prove 

 to be one of the most popular "public play- 

 grounds" in the east. 



NEW YORK 

 1 UMBER and forestry interests in New 

 York State are looking forward with 

 interest to the second week of November. 

 Tuesday, November 11, has been defi- 

 nitely set as the date for the holding of 

 the forestry conference at which Colonel 

 Henry S. Graves, chief forester of the 

 United States Forest Service, will discuss 

 at Syracuse with all interested organiza- 

 tions his proposed national forest policy. 

 This is the date of the meeting of the 

 New York Forestry Association, and many 

 manufacturers, retailers and dealers in 

 lumber^ foresters, and others interested in 

 conservation have accepted invitations to 

 attend and to hear Colonel Graves explain 

 his proposed program. 



Colonel Graves had originally agreed to 

 hold a conference with the Empire State 

 Forest Products Association, but the for- 

 estry association got the consent of the 

 manufacturers to the present plan so that 

 a more general discussion might be pos- 

 sible. 



The Empire State Forest Products .As- 

 sociation will hold its annual convention 

 at Albany, November 13; the American 

 Pulp and Paper Manufacturers' Associa- 

 tion will hold a convention in New York 

 City the latter part of that week. Thus 

 many of those interested will travel from 

 Syracuse to New York City by way of 

 Albany to participate in the three confer- 

 ences. 



William Shemin, a graduate of the New 

 ^'ork State Ranger School, at Wanakena, 

 formerly working under a College of For- 

 estry graduate, R. E. Waldenberger, city 

 forester of Bayonne, New Jersey, followed 

 liis chief into the service and was wounded 

 at Vesle, when in Company G, 47th regu- 

 lar infantry. He has now returned to hi.< 

 old chief, who has taken him to Niagara 

 where Waldenberger is superintendent of 

 the state reservation at Niagara Falls.
