HELP TO REFOREST FRANCE 



THE AMERICAN FORESTRY ASSOCIATION HAS 

 UNDERTAKEN THE GREAT TASK OF HELPING 

 TO REFOREST THE SHELL-TORN, WAR-SHAT- 

 TERED AREAS OF FRANCE; AND TO AID ALSO 

 GREAT BRITAIN, HALF OF WHOSE FORESTS 

 WERE FELLED; BELGIUM, WHOSE FORESTS SUFFERED 

 TERRIBLY, AND ITALY. 



THE GREAT HUMANITARIAN NEED, THE PRIME 

 ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE, THE BROAD CONSTRUCTIVE 

 VALUE OF THIS WORK— ALL PLACE IT ON A PLANE 

 WHICH GIVES IT STRIKING PRE-EMINENCE. THERE- 

 FORE, IT IS FELT THAT EVERY MEMBER OF THE AMERI- 

 CAN FORESTRY ASSOCIATION WILL DESIRE TO HAVE A 

 PART, AND AS BIG A PART AS POSSIBLE, IN CARRYING 

 OUT THIS PROGRAM. 



1 Y THOSE WHO ARE COMPETENT TO JUDGE, IT 

 IS ASSERTED THAT THE FORESTS OF FRANCE 

 KEPT THE GERMANS FROM PARIS. HOW GREAT 

 A DEBT, THEN, DOES THE WORLD OWE TO 

 THEM! 



MERICA CAN BUILD NO NOBLER MEMORIAL IN 

 EUROPE THAN BY REPLACING THE DEVAS- 

 TATED FORESTS OF FRANCE, GREAT BRITAIN, 

 BELGIUM AND ITALY. CANSWER THIS APPEAL 

 AT ONCE BY SENDING YOUR CHECK FOR WHAT- 

 EVER AMOUNT YOU CAN AFFORD, TO THE AMERICAN 

 FORESTRY ASSOCIATION. IT WILL HELP TO PURCHASE 

 THE SEED NEEDED TO REPLANT THE FORESTS OF 

 OUR ALLIES. 



CHECKS SHOULD BE SENT TO 



The American Forestry Association
