NEED FOR A rXlElEl) F()RKST RESEARCH I'ROC.RAM 289 



-or possibly $200,000, for forest research, under tlie direction of the 

 Secretary of Agriculture. It has been proposed that this fund be dis- 

 tributed to such State agricultural experiment stations as equip them- 

 selves for serious forest research. In my judgment, a law that grants 

 annually a definite sum to each State for forest research is superior to 

 the above. 



In order to unify forest research throughout this countrv and Can- 

 ada, I still believe a Forest Research (Association) Institute should be 

 organized. All forest organizations throughout this country and Can- 

 ada should be members of this institute and pay annual dues sufficient 

 to conduct the work of the institute and sustain the publication of an 

 annual calendar. Delegates chosen by the various forest organizations 

 would be the members of the institute. A strong executive committee 

 •of the institute would be necessary in order to properly carry on its 

 ■work.
