progressive movement and are in sympathy with the work 

 being done. Members cannot do the work laid out for them- 

 selves unless they are familiar with what is going on. 



The meeting will be held in the afternoon of December 4. 

 It will be open to everyone and it will be interesting. It will 

 be of unusual interest to all persons who take an interest in 

 forests and in the great big "out-of-doors." The following is 

 a tentative program: 



Address Governor A. O. Eberhart. 



Half hour devoted to answering questions. Everyone will 

 have a chance. 



"The Need for State Forests" Mrs. Backus, St. Paul. 



"The Forest Home" Mrs. Gilinan, Minneapolis. 



"How We Acquired Our State Forests" E. M. Griffith, 

 State Forester of Wisconsin. 



"Why the Minnesota National Forest Should Not Be Re- 

 duced" G. E. Marshall, Supervisor Minnesota Forest. 



"The Hardwood Forests of Southern Minnesota" P. C. 

 Records, Ranger State Forest Service. 



"Prairie Plantations" G. B. McDonald, Professor of For- 

 estry, Ames, Iowa. 



"The Production of Timber on Our Mineral Lands" A. C. 

 LaDuc, Ely, Minn. 



"Forestry Education in Canada" B. E. Fernow, Dean 

 Faculty of Forestry, Toronto, Can. 



"The Work of the Forest Ranger" Wm. Kilby, Beaudette, 

 Minn. 



"A Policy for Our State Forests" H. Oldenburg, Carlton, 

 Minn. 



"Our Second Industry and Its Future" Z. D. Scott, Presi- 

 dent State Forestry Board. 



"The Forests and the Big Game" W. T. Cox, State For- 

 ester. 



Stereopticon talks. 



These talks will be short, snappy and to the point. There 

 is no member of the forestry association who is not especially 

 interested in some one of these topics and there will be many 

 which will absorb attention. 



The date is December 4! The place Minneapolis.
