THE IMPROVED 



American Forestry Magazine 



Tree identification and tree knowledge articles will be a feature 

 each month of the enlarged and greatly improved issues of 

 American Forestry Magazine starting with the August issue. 



THE TULIP OR YELLOW POPLAR TREE will be the first one featured. 

 The cover of the magazine will be a strikingly attractive picture 

 in four colors of a typical Tulip or Yellow Poplar tree, its bark, 

 its leaves and its buds and these will be of the greatest value in 

 identifying the tree readily. 



In addition there will be an ilhistrated article upon the char- 

 acteristics and the history of the tree by a recognized expert, 

 an article which will instruct our readers so that they may have 

 comprehensive information about it. 



COMMERCIAL USES OF TULIP OR YELLOW POPLAR will be 



another profusely illustrated article, telling in detail for which 

 articles of commerce it is most used and most serviceable. This 

 will be of unusual value. 



ORNAMENTAL AND SHADE TREES will be given a special depart- 

 ment. This, conducted b}' Mr. J. J. Levison, will be a monthly 

 feature which will give much needed information to our members 

 having ornamental and shade trees and desiring to know how to 

 take care of them. 



CHILDREN'S KNOWLEDGE OF FORESTRY will be another de- 

 partment which will be devoted to educating children in tree 

 knowledge and forestry, giving them such information that they 

 will grow to love and to know trees and their value. This will 

 be conducted by Mr. Bristow Adams of Cornell University. 



WOOD PRESERVATION which has a decided practical value in forest 

 conservation will be a monthly department conducted by Mr. 

 E. A. Sterling, former president of the American Wood Preservers 

 Association. As treated woods are now in use by farmers and 

 housebuilders, the need of a department giving the best advice 

 about the subject is evident. 



BIRDS AND THE NEED OF THEM will be another subject given 

 a special department. The conservation of birds is vitally neces- 

 sary to the preservation of human life. So few people realize 

 this that American Forestry will make a special effort to promote 

 proper protection and care of birds. 



PRIVATE FORESTRY AND WOODLOT FORESTRY, both import- 

 ant, will be written about by experts whose advice will be found 

 of great assistance. 



NATIONAL, STATE AND MUNICIPAL FORESTRY will receive 

 attention in a number of articles by able writers, as will the great 

 variety of subjects pertaining to the forests not only in this cotmtry 

 but abroad.
