The area was selected, surveyed, and plots were laid out. Prelimin-

 The investigation of the causes of compression wood on white pine has 

 now been completed and a report by Dr. D. R. M. Scott for publication in the

Meetings, Consultations and Publications 

 The North-Eastern Forest Soils Conference met in Ontario under the 

 chairmanship of Mr. G. A. HiUs. The N. E. F. S. C. is an organization of 

 foresters and soil specialists which holds informal meetings to discuss mutual 

 problems. Originally composed of workers in the north-eastern United States, 

 the organization has been expanded to include Canadians. 



Considerable time was spent in the field, by both the site specialists 

 and silviculturalists preparing for the presentation of the Ontario approach to 

 site classification.
