FORESTRY CONVENTION, FRED- 

 ERICTON, N. P.. 



COURSE IN FORESTRY AT THE ORE- 

 GON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. 

 CORVALLIS. 



The editor of Arh(jricui.Ture regrets 

 his inability to attend this convention, to 

 which he was invited. There is evidence 

 of an awakening in the subject of forest 

 perpetuation and forest influences in New 

 Brunswick, as shown by the subjects dis- 

 cussed : 



The (kneral Xecd of Forest Preser 

 vation. 



Attitude of Educational Institutions 

 toward Forestr}-. 



Dependence of P>usiness Interests on 

 Forests. 



The Lumbermen's Interest in Preser- 

 vation of Forests. 



The Development of Water Power as 

 Related to Forests. 



The Forest Polic\- of the United States 

 and Other Countries. 



Addresses upon the subjects relating to 

 Forestrv Protection. 



It is well that the splendid State of Oregon, 

 with her great wealth of timber, which is fast 

 disappearing, should begin the education of her 

 young men in all that is known of forestry. It 

 will all be needed before these students shall 

 have graduated. 



It is well to know all that three hundred 

 years of o'd-world experience has taught in re- 

 gard to the importance of forests to the State, 

 Nation, and to every individual and every busi- 

 ness. After learning all that is possible of 

 German forestry and methods and sciences of 

 European nations, then if Professieurs Forester 

 can forget, for the time being, all that they 

 ha\e learned and take up American ideas and 

 ]3in-sue their calling in a common-sense, prac- 

 tical manner, which we believe they will do, 

 they can make their services extremely val- 

 uable to their employers. The tendency of 

 the highest education in scientific forestry, so- 

 called, almost invariably detracts from the prac- 

 tical, every-day, connnon-sense, utility methods.
