forestry in America. 6l 



He also points out the increasing opportunities for the practice of for- 

 estry, chief among whicli are the large wood-using industries, such as 

 pulp mills, which need permanent supplies of raw material, and perma- 

 nent resident ownership. The keynote of the paper is the need for a 

 proper balance between the technical and business management. The 

 author must have the satisfaction of seeing that his principles are now 

 recognized by the best foresters throughout the country. 



Shakes and Shake-making in a California Forest. By Charles 

 Howard Sliinii. Vol. IV, No. 2. 



This article is a complete and detailed account of shakes and shake- 

 making from the earliest times to the present. It is in the nature of a 

 memorial and defense of that picturesque but rapidly disappearing in- 

 dustry. Interesting figures arc given comparing the value of the same 

 class of material worked into shakes and sawn by a small portable mill. 



Wood Preserz'ation — A Determining Factor in Forest Manage- 

 ment. By Howard Frederick Weiss. Vol. IV, No. 2. 



The author points out the importance of wood preservation in deter- 

 mining the composition of future forests, in increasing the value of 

 thinnings, in giving value to top logs hitherto a loss in lumbering, and in 

 accelerating the removal of dead material. He builds up a strong, but, 

 it must be admitted, rather one-sided, argument in favor of wood preserva- 

 tion. 



Notes on Management of Redwood Lands. By Swift Berry. 

 Vol. VI, No. I.

Conscri'ation and Chemical Pulp. Bv Dr. B. Herstein. Vol. 

 VI, No. 2. 



The author gives a method of solving the hitherto v^exing problem of 

 disposing of the injurious waste from the sulphite process of pulp making. 

 The method, now successfully used in Sweden, not only effectually does 

 away with the damage from the waste, but yields a commercially valu- 

 able by-product, alcohol.

Better Methods of Fire Control. By W. B. Greeley. Vol. VI, 

 No. 2. 



This article gives the most clearly thought out methods of preparing 

 against and of handling difficult fire situations. It will, of course, be 

 remembered that Mr. Greeley was in charge of the District on which 

 the great fires of 1910 occurred. The value of this article is such that 

 the Forest Service had it reprinted and sent to every Forest Officer in 

 the Service.
