has been found both expedient and 

 appropriate to change the name and 

 the organization of the "Minnesota 

 Forester." The paper will hereafter 

 be the joint organ of the State Forest 

 Service and the Minnesota State For- 

 estry Association. It will continue to 

 support the same principles as before 

 with the old-time vigor, and will in 



addition set forth as clearly as possible the policies and 

 activities of the State Forest Service. The condition of the 

 forest fires in the north woods will be closely followed for 

 the benefit of the public and any important test cases or 

 decisions will be carefully recorded for the benefit of the 

 rangers and patrolmen of the Service. 



The publication will hereafter be known as "The North 

 Woods." We ask you to give it the same loyal support that 

 you have given the "Minnesota Forester" in the past. For 

 our part we promise to persist in insisting that you do your 

 duty as citizen in preventing the occurrence of forest fires 

 and caring for the timber resources of the State.
