Forestry and the Anglo-American Exposition. 



The Anglo-American Exhibition, to be held at Shepherd's 

 Bush during the present year (19 14), has for its object the 

 celebration in a fitting manner of the hundred years of peace 

 and progress between the English-speaking peoples since the 

 treaty of Ghent in 1814, and will contain sections devoted to 

 horticulture, arboriculture and forestry. The forestry depart- 

 ment is now engaging the special attention of a committee of 

 experts, and it is believed that the scheme proposed will ensure 

 an adequate representation of the varied aspects of this great 

 industry. A special forestry conference in connection with the 

 exposition is to be held in August.
