1290. Anonymous. Die Sozialisierung des Forstwesens. [The socialization of forestry.] 

 Oesterreich. Forst.- u. Jagdzeitg. 37: 269-271. 1920. — During the war heavy cutting took 

 place in Austrian forests and conditions are at present unsettled, the peasantry expecting a 

 division and distribution of state forests and large estates. The future of sustained wood 

 production and the very existence of many communities in the mountainous regions depends 

 upon unification of management rather than further subdivision. The public value of the 

 forests demands this. Formation of local voluntary associations of timber land owners, 

 loggers, lumbermen and dealers is recommended, these associations to be united into a greater 

 State association with large powers to govern forest management, lumber prices, export trade, 

 and forest labor. — F. S. Baker. 



1291. Anonymous. Wohlfahrtseinrichtungen fur Waldarbeiter. [Housing conditions for 

 forest laborers.] Schweiz. Zeitschr. Forstw. 71: 114-116. 1920. — Oberforster Schadelin 

 advocated furnishing quarters in 1908 and Dr. Flury later pointed out that living conditions 

 among the industries were better and more attractive than those of the forest laborers. This 

 resulted in young men seeking other industries rather than the Forest Service. — The author 

 describes the use of portable shelters built for 6 to 12 men that have proved successful in the 

 Canton of Schaffhausen. The contentions in favor of a shelter equipped with a stove are 

 that the men are more contented and willing to work in wet weather because they are able 

 to dry their clothes when they return from work. Also the men do not use so much liquor 

 in order to keep warm. — J. V. Hofmann.

 18: 13-22. 1920. — Silvicultural practice in the Adirondacks has not yet been fully settled 

 and further work is needed in determining the limits of forest types, proper methods of slash 

 disposal, and the requirements of the various species for establishment. A survey of forest 

 lands and forests is needed. — E. N. Munns.
