520. Anonymous. Note on sal sowings in the western Dooars. Indian Forester 46: 

 297-303. 1 fig. 1920. — Results of experimental seed sowing of sal in India show that the 

 work must be done in the open and that the competition of the native grasses must be kept 

 down. Planting with Tephrosia is advocated as a measure of insuring slight competition, 

 green manuring and protection. Grass fires set the plantations back about three years and 

 animals do considerable damage. — E. N. Manns. 



521. Anonymous. [Rev. of: Hargreayks, W. A. An investigation into the prospects 

 of establishing a paper making industry in South Australia. Dept. Chem. South Australia 

 Bull. 1. 56 p. Adelaide 1916.1 New Zealand Jour. Sci. Tech. 1: 60. 1918.— Australia is 

 said to be the largest consumer of paper in the world, per capita of population, and South 

 Australia is entirely dependent upon outside sources for supplies of both paper and mill- 

 board. There are four mills in Victoria. Besides the manufacture of paper from straw, 

 the article also deals fully with the manufacture of straw boards, and in both cases the esti- 

 mated costs of manufacture are detailed in full. — C. S. Gager.

523. Anonymous. Waldverwiistung in der Umgebung von Wien. [Forest devastation 

 around Vienna.] Deutsch. Forstzeitg. 35: 42. 1920. — Although cutting of marked trees is 

 permitted on a strip 3 kilometers deep and 50 kilometers long in the Wienerwald, no one takes 

 the trouble to locate the marks, and all the trees are being cut. Trees planted along the 

 banks of the Danube to prevent flood and washing have also been cut. The famous Wald- 

 gurtel (forest belt) has almost been entirely destroyed. Many people make a regular busi- 

 ness of stealing wood and selling it; school-boys make 100 kroner a day, and many coachmen 

 have become very wealthy. In the Hiitteldorf forest there are, on the average, 10,000 wood- 

 thieves at work on weekdays and 100,000 on Sundays. — W. N. Sparhawk. 



524. Anonymous. Washington's sick sycamores. Amer. Forestry 26: 267. 1 fig. 1920.

525. Archibald, Jno. C. Points to remember. Quart. Jour. Forest. 13: 165-185. 1919. 

 — Twenty points which the author believes are especially important for forestry students to 

 memorize are listed. They deal with a variety of subjects from silviculture to personal man- 

 ners. These "points" are followed by a short discussion of nursery practice, planting, thin- 

 ning, pruning, ditching, fencing, hedging, and walling. The silvical characteristics of a few 

 common forest trees are also taken up briefly. — C. R. Tillotson. 



526. Augur. Aus dem deutschen Forstjahr 1919. [Developments in German forestry in 

 1919.] Deutsch Forstzeitg. 35: 185-18S. 1920. — Notes various developments affecting the 

 personnel, as a result of the loss of large forest areas by the treaty of peace and as a result of 

 the Revolution. — W. N. Sparhawk. 



527. B., C. U. The importance of vertical stacking in the seasoning of converted material. 

 Indian Forester 46: 238-239. 1 pi. 1920. — In the manufacture of boxes for special purposes, 

 water seasoning in the log form is necessary. After cutting, the material should be stacked 

 on end for 15 days and then piled horizontally for 3-6 months, to secure the best material. 

 The difference in red and white Bombax is due to a difference in the grain of the wood. — E. N. 

 Munns. 



528. Bailey, W. A. Length of time taken by sal seedlings to establish themselves. Indian 

 Forester 46: 307-309. 1920. — Fenced and cultivated plots show a much more fully stocked 

 stand of sal seedlings than plots not so cared for. So far, it has taken ten years for natural- 

 sown seedlings to develop into a full crop of fully established young plants. [See also next 

 following Entry, 529.]— E. N. Munns.
