various private individuals who either lent exhibits or contributed 

 in other ways towards the success of the Exhibition. 



Later a similar Exhibition, though on a smaller scale, was 

 held in the British Science and Key Industries Exhibition in 

 Glasgow, the promoters of which (the Corporation of Glasgow) 

 very kindly gave the necessary space, free of charge. A 

 number of private exhibitors also contributed to the success of 

 this Exhibition, including Sir Robert Lorimer and Messrs 

 Whytock & Reid, who lent a number of beautiful articles of 

 furniture made from home-grown oak and other timbers. 



The Exhibit created an immense amount of interest amongst 

 all classes, the stand being constantly crowded. The thanks of 

 the Society are due to a number of willing helpers, but parti- 

 cularly to Mr Whitton and his staff, who devoted a great amount 

 of time and care in arranging and caring for and returning the 

 exhibits, and also for the interesting exhibits they provided. 



It has been agreed to hold the usual Exhibition in the Show 

 at Aberdeen next year. 



Nursery and Plantation Competitions. 



It has also been agreed to resume these competitions in the 

 Show District this year. 



Imperial Forestry Co?iference. 



The Forestry Commission are promoting an Imperial Forestry 

 Conference, which is to be held in London in the course of the 

 summer. At the General Meeting the President reported that 

 he was in touch with the promoters of the Conference, and 

 would give all the help he could in the matter. 



Empire Forestry Exhibition. 



A Timber Exhibition is also being promoted, and will be held 

 at the same time as the Conference mentioned above. Colonel 

 Balfour, who represents the Society on the Exhibition Committee, 

 reported that the various societies and others interested in home 

 timber would be expected to contribute towards the expenses 

 about ^500, of which it was suggested that ^100 should be 

 paid by this Society. The whole matter has been gone into 

 recently, and it has been suggested to the promoters that the 

 societies in Scotland should contribute ,£200, and that this 

 Society should provide a certain number of exhibits on con- 

 dition that the similar societies and others in England should 

 provide the remaining ^300. The Council agreed that the 

 proportion of the expenses to be made by this Society should 

 not exceed ^50, and that the Landowners' Co-operative 

 Forestry Society, and perhaps the two Timber Merchants' 

 Associations, might contribute the balance of the ^200 required 

 from Scotland.
