JOURNAL OF FORESTRY 



Vol. XV JANUARY, 1917 No. 1 



ANNOUNCEMENT 



With this issue the Journal of Forestry takes the place of 

 the Proceedings of the Society of American Foresters and of the 

 Forestry Quarterly. Although the two magazines 'have been filling 

 a distinct place in the field of professional forestry in North America, 

 one laying particular emphasis on original articles and substantial re- 

 views, the other attempting to cover to a large extent the entire field 

 of forest literature in this country and abroad, the amalgamation of the 

 two into one magazine, it is hoped, will serve the needs of the profes- 

 sion in a more efficient way than did the two parent publications. The 

 new Journal is not an absorption of the Forestry Quarterly by the 

 Proceedings or of the Proceedings by the Forestry Quarterly, but is in 

 the true sense an amalgamation of the best features of the two original 

 publications. 



The Journal will be devoted to all branches of forestry and will 

 contain original articles, notes and comments, reviews of books, periodi- 

 cal literature, and news and personal notes. The Journal of For- 

 estry will be published by and for the Society in eight monthly 

 issues, omitting the summer months. It will be the official organ of 

 the Society, and will be distributed to the active members of the Society 

 without charge. Honorary and associate members as well as non- 

 members may secure the Journal at the subscription price of $3 per 

 annum and 50 cents for single copies of the current issue. 



The Journal will be published under the direction of a Board of 

 Editors appointed by the President of the Society in accordance with 

 the provisions of Section 5, Article V, of the Constitution of the 

 Society. It was understood, however, that as a condition of the 

 transfer of interests in the Forestry Quarterly, Dr. B. E. Fernow shall 

 be appointed by succeeding Presidents as Editor-in-Chief "as long as he 

 is willing to discharge these duties and as long as such action is con- 

 sistent with the interests of the Society." The Editor of the Proceed- 

 ings will act, subject also to appointment by succeeding Presidents, as 

 the Managing Editor of the new Journal.
