ANNOUNCEMENT 



This issue of the Bulletin of the New York State Forestry Association 

 contains an account of the first two meetings, and considerable data valuable 

 from an historical and educational standpoint. 



Subsequent numbers will be in a much lighter and more popular vein ; there 

 will be columns open to communications and discussions by members and short 

 articles dealing with trees and forests and general out of door subjects, with 

 the idea of stimulating a wide-spread interest in Forestry throughout the Empire 

 State.

APPEAL TO MEMBERS 



ALBANY, N. Y., April 27, 1914. 



The value and influence of this Association- will be largely determined by 

 the number and activity of its members. The membership at the present time 

 is but a few hundred while it is safe to say that there are more than as many 

 thousand people in the State who should be and probably are willing to join. 

 It is, therefore, the duty of our members to bring this matter to the attention of 

 the people generally and secure their membership and forward the same to 

 Syracuse to the Secretary. 



The Association is now in the second year of its existence and the time has 

 come when it must make progress and become a strong working organization. 

 It is, therefore, important as a matter of success that everyone put forth as 

 much effort as possible immediately in securing new members and continue to 

 do so in order that at the time of the third annual meeting there will be a strong 

 and effective organization which can show accomplishments. 



C. R. PETTIS, 

 Chairman of the Committee on Membership.
