WILD LIFE LEAGUE OF WEST VIRGINIA 83 



TEXAS FORESTRY ASSOCIATION 



Encouragement of practical forestry in Texas on the part of both 

 private enterprise and the State Government is the fundamental 

 object of the Texas Forestry Association. It was organized in 1915 

 with this aim in view and its outstanding activity has been to aid in 

 bringing about the establishment of a Department of Forestry for the 

 State. The officers of the association, which is largely made up of a 

 lay membership in forestry, are: President, Richard F. Burges, El 

 Paso; President emeritus, W. Goodrich Jones, Waco; Vice-presi- 

 dents, R. A. Gilliam, Dallas ; J. Lewis Thompson, Houston ; Mrs. Lee 

 Joseph, San Antonio ; Watson Walker, Diboll ; Secretary-Treasurer, 

 E. O. Siecke, State Forester at College Station, Texas. 



WILD LIFE LEAGUE OF WEST VIRGINIA 



Dedicated to the conservation of West Virginia's natural resources, 

 the promotion of more forests, more fish and game and a better out- 

 doors, this organization is the forestry association of that state. It 

 was organized at Clarksburg in April, 1922, and has since then been 

 active in support of education and legislation designed to accomplish 

 the League's objects. 



Among the aims as set forth in its constitution, the League pledges 

 itself " to prevent the unnecessary or useless injury or destruction of 

 forests by fire, disease or otherwise, and to rebuild the same ; and, so 

 far as is consistent with the commercial use thereof, to preserve the 

 native beauty and manifold uses of our forests ; to protect the streams 

 from unnecessary pollution and to preserve them in their natural con- 

 dition for the benefit and enjoyment of the people of the whole State." 



The League is affiliated with the National Association of Audubon 

 Societies. It publishes monthly an illustrated magazine under the 

 title of West Virginia Wild Life. The officers are Dr. H. H. Haynes, 

 Clarksburg, president; George W. Hill, Sistersville, vice-president; 

 Howard H. Cleaves, Clarksburg, secretary ; Glenn Hunter, Charleston, 

 treasurer. The offices of the League are at 727 Goff Building, Clarks- 

 burg, West Virginia.
