..THE.. 



AMERCAN FORESTRY ASSOCIATION 



President— HON. JAMES WILSON, 



Secretary of Agriculture. 



The American Forestry Association was organized 

 in 1882, and incorporated in January, 1897. It now 

 has nearly 7,000 members, residents of every State in 

 the Union, Canada, and foreign countries. From its 

 origin it has been the tireless friend of the forests. 



The object of the Association is to promote the pre- 

 servation, by wise use, and the extension of the forests 

 of the United States ; its means are agitation and edu- 

 cation ; it seeks to encourage the application of forestry 

 by private owners to forest holdings, large or small ; 

 and it favors, especially, the establishment and multi- 

 plication of National and State forests, to be adminis- 

 tered in the highest interests of all. 



The Association seeks as members all who sympa- 

 thize with its object and methods, and who believe that 

 our natural resources constitute a common heritage, to 

 be used without abusing and administered for the com- 

 mon good. Seeking to conserve our supplies of wood 

 and water, the Association appeals especially to wood- 

 producers and users, including owners of wood lands, 

 lumbermen, foresters, railroad men, and engineers ; and 

 to those dependent upon equable stream flow, as manu- 

 facturers, irrigators, employers of water power, and 

 those engaged in internal commerce. 



The Association meets annually in Washington. It 

 publishes, monthly. Forestry and Irrigation, the 

 magazine of authority in its special field. The list of 

 contributors to this publication includes practically all 

 persons iDrominent in forest work in the United States, 

 making it alone worth the cost of Annual Membership 

 in the Association. 



The dues, covering a subscription to Forestry and 

 Irrigation, are as follows : Annual — For Annual Mem- 

 bers, $2 ; for Sustaining Members, $25 ; Total, with ex- 

 emption from all other payments — for Life Members, 

 $100 ; for Patrons, $1,000.
