years a count of the trees was made and their height and diameters 

 measured. Success varied from 39 to 93 per cent: maximum height 

 reached was 38 feet in the case of yellow stringy bark (E. niiicllcriana) 

 and mountain ash (£. sicbcriaiia). The maximum d. b. h. reached in 

 this period was 8 inches for tallowwood (£. microcorys) . On some 

 of the plots the trees were mere spindling whips, hardly erect, and 

 often sprawling over the tall grass. In others, where protection was 

 afforded by small gulches, the growth was excellent. 



Eight of the species tried gave a yield of one cord or over per year, 

 the highest being given by the blackbutt (£. pilularis)- — 4.51 cords per 

 acre. None of these are exceptional and do not compare with the 

 yield of bluegum (£. globulus) at Makawao, Alaui, Territory of 

 Hawaii, which at the age of five years ran as high as 15.1 to 17.4 cords 

 per acre. 



Air. Judd remarks, however, that for results to be expected from the 

 planting of trees of the species tried under conditions similar to this 

 plantation the data given may be used as criteria. As results of this 

 experiment the following species appear to be most likely for planting 

 under the conditions stated: Blackbutt (E. l^ilularis) , tuart (E. gom- 

 phoccphala), yellow stringybark {E. iiiucllcriaiia) , mountain ash (E. 

 sieberiana) , tallowwood (£. microcorys) , red gum (£. rosfrata), sugar 

 gum (E. corynocalyx) , and gray gum (E. fereticoniia). 



New York State Forestry Association 



The following important resolutions were adopted at the seventh 

 annual meeting of the New York State Forestry Association, in 

 Albany, on January 21, 1919. The committee which reported these 

 resolutions consisted of Dean Hugh P. Baker, of the New York State 

 College of Forestry. Syracuse, N. Y. ; Prof. Ralph S. Hosmer, of Cor- 

 nell University, and A. B. Recknagel, Secretary of the Empire State 

 Forest Products Association : 



Jlliereas as the association believes that the agencies concerned with forestry 

 in this State should formulate a broad policy for the economic use of forest land 

 in the State, and that this policy should look forward to the removal of the con- 

 stitutional inhibition at present preventing effective use of the State forest land ; 

 and 



Whereas this period of reconstruction is a particularly opportune time for the 

 formulation of constructive policies for the use of forest land : 



Resolved, That the president be authorized to appoint a committee to be com- 

 posed of one representative from each organization interested in forestry in this 

 State to formulate the indicated policy. It is suggested that the following organ-
