1222. Anonymous. Steigerung des Ertrages der deutschen Waldungen. [Increasing the 

 yield of German forests.] Deutsch. Forstzeitg. 36: 125-126. 1921. — The suggestion, made 

 at the Brussels financial conference, that the production of German forests could be increased, 

 is impossible of fulfillment, because Germany lost 1.5 million hectares of forest by the peace 

 treaty and is already cutting as much as the annual growth, or more. In 1912, 47.8 million 

 cubic meters of timber were cut, § of which was construction material (Nutzholz); the remain- 

 ing forests cannot yield more than 40 million cubic meters without diminishing the forest 

 capital. — W. N. Sparhawk.

 wartime regulations in Switzerland and their effect on Swiss forests and economic life. The 

 war changed Switzerland from a wood-importing country to a wood-exporter, but in 1920 she 

 again became an importer. In 1914 imports of wood exceeded exports by 20,230,000 francs, 

 while in 1918 exports led by 117,970,000 francs. In 1913 the net import, in volume, of 

 timber, lumber, and firewood amounted to 557,513 cubic meters, while in 1916, the year of 

 greatest export (by volume), the net export was 883,689 cubic meters. — TT'. N. Sparhawk. 



1225. BiLLWiLLER, R. tJber die Fohnsturmkatastrophe vom 4/5 Januar 1919 im Berner 

 Oberland. [The catastrophe caused by the southerly winds of Janxiary 4 and 5, 1919, in the 

 higher altitudes of the Bern region.] Schweiz. Zeitschr. Forstw. 72: 2-11. 1 viap. 1921. — 

 A contribution by Billwiller and observations by Von Greyerz are presented. The damage 

 done by this storm was greater than any recorded for more than a decade. The damaged 

 timber was about 90 per cent uprooted and 10 per cent broken, and was thrown in all directions 

 in some localities and in a northeasterly direction in others. A total of 807,550 cubic meters 

 was windthrown, and about 200 hectares were reduced to the non-productive state. — J . V. 

 Hofmann. 



1226. CiESLAR, A. tJber die Erntezeit der Friichte der gemeinen Esche (Fraxinus excelsior 

 L.). [Concerning the time for collecting seed of the common ash (Fraxinus excelsior).] Cen- 

 tralbl. Gesam. Forstw. 46: 90-100. 1920. — Despite many years of silvicultural experience 

 with ash, there is still comparatively little known regarding the best time and methods of 

 collecting, storing, and planting the seed. In nature, ash seed does not generally germinate 

 until the 2nd year. The author experimented to ascertain chiefly whether it could not be 

 germinated the Istyear after ripening. Seed was collected Sept. 17, Nov. 17, Jan. 8, and Feb. 28.
