The Conservation Con- 

 vention at the White 

 House, Alay 13-15, dis- 

 cussed elsewhere in this issue, will be 

 an epoch-making event. Forestry 

 AND Irrigation desires to give its 

 readers the full benefit of this meet- 

 ing. Its June issue will be devoted to 

 the proceedings of the Convention. 

 Let every reader of this publication, 

 and especially every member of the 

 American Forestry Association, ad- 

 vertise this fact. Let him tell his 

 friends. Let him put notices in his 

 Tiome papers. Let him have it an- 

 nounced at public meetings. Let him 

 print dodgers and have them dis- 

 tributed. Let him proclaim in every 

 possible way the coming of this great 

 convention, and the fact that its story 

 can be found in the June issue of this 

 magazine.

 nately placed with reference to this 

 meeting. It is committed to this work.

 lished at the National Capital. Its

 tion having a treasury can, by vote,

 rigation sell at 10 cents each. For

 preparation. Here is a field of ac- 

 tivity for every member of the As- 

 sociation and for every friend of the 

 movement.
