MISCELLANEOUS 



The materially increased interest displayed by the lumber 

 publications recently, in printing practical papers on forestry and 

 items of general interest from the forestal standpoint, is worthy 

 of especial comment. This expression of a growing intimacy 

 between the interests of the lumberman and the forester will 

 serve to further the aim of both — to obtain the greatest value 

 from our woodlands. This need has been felt more and more 

 keenly during the last five years, being manifested largely 

 through the utterances of many lumbermen and their associa- 

 tions. Now that the publications are entering very actively into 

 the field, increased good to both lumbermen and foresters is 

 bound to result. 



The American Lumberniari , The St. Louis Lumber^nan, and 

 The Southern Lumberman rival each other in printing articles of 

 interest to the forester. Nearly the entire list of issues at hand 

 contain from one to three articles to the number, the largest per- 

 centage devoted to one line of work being reprints from Forest 

 Service publications. 



" The Growth of the Bureau of Forestry into Forest Service," 

 ' ' The Endowment of a Chair of Lumbering in the Yale Forest 

 School," and "The Union of the Forest Service and the Lum- 

 bering Associations in the Compiling of Accurate Lumbering 

 Statistics," are extensively and favorably discussed in most of 

 our prominent lumber journals. The removal of the discrimina- 

 tion b}' Belgium against ' ' American Oak ' ' accomplished by our 

 consular service, is an item less generally noticed, and really un- 

 desirable, despite its great financial importance through insuring 

 the resumption of export of oak to that country. 



Strode' s Lumber World, a new Chicago journal, is entering a 

 field already rather full. It is worthy of a place, however, and 

 resembles the Saturday Evening Post in cover and type. A two- 

 page article on "Forestry in Indiana" is in the July 15th 

 number. 



A favorable discussion of the Forestry Quarterly occurs in 

 the June 15th issue of the St. Lotcis Lumberman, and the same 

 number contains a two-column article, with occasional reprints
