3 — CLASSIFICATION OF SITES 



Whereas, A uniform system of site classification applicable to the 

 whole country would, if practicable, greatly simplify and facilitate 

 forestry work ; and 



Whereas, Several plans for site classification have recently been 

 suggested, and 



Whereas, The Society of American Foresters is the logical agency 

 through which an agreement of the profession as a whole as to the 

 principle and detail of a general plan of site standardization may be 

 secured ; be it 



Resolved, That a committee be appointed to consider the various sug- 

 gestions for site standardization, with reference to their practicability 

 for adoption by the profession ; to secure, in its discretion, an expres- 

 sion of opinion of the Society as a whole upon the plan or plans favored 

 by the committee ; and to report its recommendations to the Society 

 for action not later than the next annual meeting of the Society. 



4 — CORRELATION OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SEVEJIAL SECTIONS 



Whereas, It is highly desirable to correlate more effectively the 

 activities of the several sections of the Society and to promote par- 

 ticular lines of work in which two or more sections are especially in- 

 terested ; be it 



Resolved, That the chairman of the several sections ex officio be 

 created an Intersection Committee of the Society to co-ordinate and 

 further the work of the sections of the Society as a whole ; and be it 

 further 



Resolved, That the President of the Society name from among the 

 section chairmen the chairman of this committee. 



5 — FOREST RESEARCH ENDORSED 



Whereas, Any comprehensive national forest policy must be based 

 on thorough-going research; be it 



Resolved, That the Society of American Foresters urge the liberal 

 support by Congress of such research through Federal appropriations 

 for investigation in forest fire protection, forest reproduction, forest 

 management, forest taxation, wood utilization, and similar fields.
