NEW YORK, 



Although there are a number of pubHcations in the United 

 States and Canada, wholly or in part devoted to the propagand- 

 ism of forestry, there are at the present time none which are mainly 

 or entirely devoted to the professional or technical interests of the 

 subject. 



With the establishment, within the last four years, of tvi^o fully- 

 equipped special schools of forestry, whose graduates have begun 

 work in the field ; with the rapid expansion of the field work of 

 the Federal Forestry Bureau, and of other agencies in technical 

 direction, professional foresters have multiplied, and the time for 

 means of communication among those who are building up the 

 science and art of forestry in the United States seems to have 

 arrived. 



The Forestry Quarteri^y is intended to meet this need. 



Besides publishing original articles on subjects of interest to 

 the profession, and translations of such articles from foreign 

 sources, it is intended to bring reviews and references to the cur- 

 rent literature, and also, in brief notes, the news of the for- 

 estry world, personal and otherwise, with a view of keeping 

 the readers in touch with the development of their art in all its 

 branches. 



While this journal, in its inception and management, is a child 

 of the New York State College of Forestry, it is hoped that, as 

 time passes on, its pages may be used by all or any workers in 

 the field for the discussion of their problems and record of their 

 experiences.
