believed to be a highly desirable arrangement from the stand- 

 point of instruction in forestry, and also one that will appeal to 

 the men taking the professional forestry course. 



At the newly established forest school of the University of 

 California fish and game preservation will receive attention in a 

 course given by three experts. This is reviving the original idea 

 carried out at the New York State College of Forestry at Cornell, 

 where the subject from the very start was an integral part of the 

 curriculum, instruction being given at the Adirondack camp by 

 Dr. B. W. Evermann. 



An article in American Forestry (April) on "Foresters in the 

 German Army" contains a number of misstatements. One of 

 them would negate the statement made in the Forestry Quar- 

 terly, vol. XII, p. 658, to the effect that there is no direct rela- 

 tion between the higher forest service and the army. This 

 statement is correct. Only 75 officers represent the special 

 organization called the Reitende Feldjager, all other higher 

 forest officers serve in whatever regiments they may choose. 

 Only the lower grade foresters are obliged to serve in the Jager 

 battalions. 



Though basswood or linden make the best excelsior, aspen or 

 Cottonwood are the species used for nearly half the amount 

 manufactured. 



Pan Cheng King, who graduated from the Cornell Department 

 of Forestry in the fall of 1914, returned to China and is now in 

 charge of the Agricultural School at Wu Li mio in Anching. 

 He is working toward developing a forest policy on the following 

 lines, approved by the Governor of Anhiu Province : 



1. Agitation for public sentiment by means of reforesting 60 

 acres of scattered government lands this spring and various 

 private lands with trees furnished free by the Provincial gov- 

 ernment. 



2. Establishment of a good sized nursery. 



3. Reconnaissance of the forest area and forest conditions in 

 the Province.
