is sufficient eventually to supply the bulk of the raw material required by the 

 nation. 



II. Resolved, That this Society favors a very large extension of silvical re- 

 search. It approves also the idea of Federal co-operation with other agencies. 

 The Committee on American Forest Research is authorized and directed to take 

 up the matter, on behalf of the Society, with the National Research Council, the 

 American Forestry Association, and any other agencies in a position to help, 

 with a view to securing adequate financial support from the Federal Govern- 

 ment along these lines. 



III. Whereas it has been reported in the newspapers of the State of Wiscon- 

 sin that an effort will be made to induce the coming legislature to eliminate the 

 provision in the forestry law which requires that one member of the State Con- 

 servation Commission must be a technically trained forester of experience ; and 



Whereas the elimination of the provision will make possible the appointment of 

 a member to succeed the late F. B. Moody, who might be so out of sympathy 

 with the splendid results in forestry already achieved by Wisconsin that the prog- 

 ress made might be seriously arrested ; and 



Whereas the State could, with advantage, increase rather than lessen its activi- 

 ties in forestry so that Wisconsin might play its proper part, along with other 

 States, in helping to solve the various forest conservation problems which are 

 likely to arise in the reconstruction period : 



Resolved, That the Society of x\merican Foresters respectfully urges the main- 

 tenance of the present law to appoint a forester who is technically trained to suc- 

 ceed the late F. B. Moody, and that a copy of this resolution be sent to such 

 persons in the State as the President may select, with the suggestion that they 

 take such action as may seem to them appropriate. 



IV. IVhereas there is great need for more forest extension work: be it 

 Resolved, That the Research Committee of the Society of American Foresters 



bring before the State Extension Directors and the States' Relations Service of 

 the United States Department of Agriculture this need and present for their 

 consideration a definite program.
