COMMENT BY THE SECRETARY 



For the benefit of those members who could not be present, the 

 Secretary wishes to say that the resolution adopted expressing the 

 thanks of the association to the New York members for the efficiency 

 with which they handled the local arrangements was not a perfunctory 

 matter, but was intended to convey our genuine admiration and sincere 

 appreciation. We were shown every phase of the blister-rust problem 

 in a most interesting and instructive way, as well as given a consid- 

 erable insight into the general forest conditions of the Adirondacks, 

 their fire-tower system, plantations, slash conditions after lumbering, 

 the largest forest nursery in the United States in operation, etc. 



An admirably clear diagram of the trip and description of the points 

 of interest and the matters that were studied was furnished each mem- 

 ber of the party by the Conservation Commission, from whom a copy 

 can perhaps be attained by those who were not present. 



The thanks of the Association are also due to Mr. Detwiler and the 

 members of his staff for the thoroughness and clearness with which 

 the blister-rust situation was shown to us. This could not have been 

 done better. 



The Executive Comrriittee will do whatever seems feasible to carry 

 out the wishes of the association as expressed in the resolutions 

 adopted. Suggestions as to other activities should be sent to any 

 member of the Executive Committee.
