AMERICAN FORESTRY ASSOCIATION ENDORSED 



The following resolution was present- 

 ed and adopted at the meeting of the 

 Society for the Protection of the New 

 Hampshire Forests at Bretton Woods, 

 N. H., on July 19 : 



Whereas, The American Forestry 

 Association, the only national public 

 service organization devoted to the 

 cause of forest conservation, has been 

 of great service to New Hampshire, as 

 well as many other States, in working 

 for desirable forest legislation, and ma- 



terially aids in the effort to secure for- 

 est reservations, be it 



Resolved, That the Society for the 

 Protection of New Hampshire Forests 

 urges its members to give their active 

 support to the American Forestry As- 

 sociation, and to aid it in the important 

 and patriotic work it is doing for for- 

 est conservation, by becoming members 

 of the American Forestry Association 

 and subscribers to its magazine. 



CITIZENSHIP AND FOREST FIRES 



The Oregon Forest Fire Association has posted a new forest fire warning throughout 

 the timbered counties. It reminds the reader that good citizenship demands the observance 

 of the forest fire laws, and that a little care may result in the saving of thousands of 

 dollars, for the forests of Oregon distribute more wealth in the State than grain, fruit, 

 vegetables and fish combined. This warning also calls attention to the fact that Oregon 

 timber owners pay more than one-third the taxes of the State. 



ANOTHER WOOD WASTE ELIMINATED 



By a series of experiments extending over the past six years, the Department of Agri- 

 culture has found that California grapes packed with a filler of redwood sawdust keep 

 better and longer in cold storage than when packed in ground cork. 



Redwood saivdust has been found to be peculiarly adapted to use in fruit packing, as 

 it is more nearly neutral in odor and flavor than even ground cork and therefore does, 

 not impart its taste or odor to the fruit, as would the sawdust from other kinds of wood.
