FORESTRY QUARTERLY 



Voiv. VII] March, 1909. [No. 1. 



TO OUR READERS. 



With this, the "sabbatical" volume, the Forestry Quarterly 

 promises for the first time in its history, to become self supporting. 

 As it is not the policy to make it a paying venture, but rather, as 

 its finances permit, to enlarge its size and increase its usefulness, 

 two new departments are to be added, namely, "Other Periodical 

 Literature" under which caption brief references will be made to 

 articles appearing in various magazines or journals, not of suffi- 

 cient importance for briefing, yet of interest; and "Comments" 

 which is to be open for short, free discussions of technical prob- 

 lems, technical notes, and editorial comment, and to which all 

 readers are invited to contribute. 



The Quarterly may claim to have demonstrated its usefulness 

 to the profession, and may, therefore, frankly appeal to 1 its readers 

 for more generous support in the way of literary contributions. 



So far it has rarely been necessary to solicit contributions, but 

 it is believed that much more good material could be produced 

 by those interested in professional development, in articles or short 

 notes, and we appeal to our readers to give us their best support.
