Clubs and Associations 



Fall Meeting of North Carolina Forestry Association 



The regular fall nn eting of the North Carolina Forestry .Associa- 

 tion was held in the Cbaniber of Commerce rooms in Raleigh at 10:30, 

 Sept. 30. .\lthough the attendance was not large, several important 

 matters were transacted. The question of appointing delegates to the 

 National Conservation Congress in Washington was taken up and dele- 

 gates selected. Great care was exercised in selecting delegates who 

 would attend, and a full representation of the association at the con- 

 gress Is confidently expected. 



A resolution was adopted requesting the council of state to plant 

 so far as is consistent with the scenic effect and with the plans of the 

 council, a full collection of native North Carolina trees on the capitol 

 grounds and the grounds of the governors mansion. This matter has 

 since been brought to the attention of the council of state and it has 

 expressed its willingness to accede to the request of the association. 



It was unanimously decided that the next annual convention of the 

 association be held in some central town in the western part of the 

 state. Heretofore, all meetings have been held in Raleigh and. for this 

 reason, many of the western people, who are or should be interested, 

 have been unable to attend. It was also decided that in connection 

 with the meeting some side trip or other form of entertainment be ar- 

 ranged. It is prob.able that the next meeting will be held in .isheville, 

 toward the end of March or early in April. It is hoped that a side 

 trip through the white pine plantations of tlie Biltmore Estate or 

 through the conservative logging operations of the Carr Lumber Com- 

 pany on I'isgah Forest, may be arranged. 



One of the principal objects of the meeting was to urge upon the 

 legislature the importance of extending the stock law all over the state. 

 The association has always stood firmly for the elimination of the open 

 range conditions and has steadily advocated a state-wide stock law. As 

 a large proportion of those in attendance were directly interested in 

 the stock law measures being considered by the special session of the 

 legislature, an earlj- ad.iournment was taken to permit the members to 

 appear before the special legislative committee in charge of these bills. 

 Largely as a result of this campaign, headed by the indefatigable en- 

 thusiast. H. F. Keith of Wilmington, and strongly supported by the 

 agents of the United States Department of -Vgrlculture, in charge of 

 tick eradication work in this state, the legislature just adjourned has 

 enacted a series of local bills extending the stock law over four more 

 whole counties and parts of six others, and providing for elections on 

 the stock law question in at least five additional counties. This is most 

 encouraging; and if the present campaign can be kept up (and we in- 

 tend to keep it up) Mr. Keith believes that within four years the whole 

 state will be under this law. 



Big Gathering Planned at Memphis 

 'I'lie Lumbermen's Club of Meiupliis is again lo play the role of host 

 to at l<'ast two lumber organizal Ions, and possibly three, at a date to 

 Ir' arranged in the near future. It was dellnitely decided at the meeting 

 of the club Nov. 1 that invitations would l)e extended to the Lumber- 

 men's Club of Louisville and the Nashville Lumbermen's Club to attend 

 the annual banquet of the local organization, and if the date can be so 

 arranged as to include the new red gum association, which is to be for- 

 mally launched here Saturday, Nov. lo, this function will be held on the 

 evening of the latter <date. 



The entire arrangements. Including the extending of the invitations, the 

 fixing of the date and the character of the entertainment to be accorded, 

 have been placed in the hands of the entertainment committee, of which 

 F. K. Stonebrnkcr is chairman. This committee has been given carte 

 blanche and has lieen assured that there will be plenty of money forth- 

 coming to take care of any expense Incurred, with the result that the 

 members of the club and the visiting Inmbcrmen may expect something
