The Book of Forestry, by Frederick F. 



Moon, Professor of Forest Engineering, 



New York State College of Forestry, 



$1.75. D. Appleton & Co. 



A practical book on forestry which is up- 

 to-date and intelligible to junior readers, 

 and which is neither too technical for im- 

 mature minds nor too popularly written for 

 grown-ups. It is not a text book, nor an 

 instructive manual, but rather a book of in- 

 formation on our original forests and the 

 forestry movement in this country — its 

 origin and present status. It will be of 

 great assistance to boys who love the woods 

 and wish to learn more about our trees and 

 it will be especially helpful to Boy Scouts 

 who are anxious to obtain merit badges on 

 conservation, forest protection or fire pre- 

 vention. Besides the chapters on the life 

 of the forests and the activities of the lum- 

 ber and log drive, there is one devoted to 

 the general subject of conservation in which 

 control of all natural resources, water, gas, 

 oil and mineral, is advocated and the reason 

 therefor given. 

 Our Field and Forest Trees, by Maud 



Going, $1.50. A. C. McClurg & Co. 



It is the story of the trees that Miss 

 Going tells from the time that Nature 

 plants the seed until the tree's maturity. 

 Unlike most nature books which begin in 

 the spring, this opens with the sowing of 

 the seed in the autumn when the life of 

 the tree really commences. The reader is 

 then taken through all the stages of tree 

 life and is told how the tree grows, how it 

 lives, and what the leaves are for, etc., etc., 

 togetlier with a lot of wonderfully interest- 

 ing tree and forest lore.
