Notices of Logging Operations. 



Before many weeks have passed there will be on file at the 

 office of the state forester complete descriptions of the lands 

 on which timber is going to be cut this coming winter. This 

 information the lumber companies are now required by law to 

 send to the forester. The law requires that a notice giving 

 the legal description of the lands must be posted at every log- 

 ging camp. In addition a copy of the notice must be sent 

 to the state forester. 



With this information in hand the forest rangers will know 

 just where cutting is goin on. Advice regarding slash disposal 

 can be given immediately by the ranger. In many cases it is 

 most important that the slash be removed at once. The forest 

 ranger can see that this is done now that he will have the in- 

 formation regarding the cutting in his hands. 



The state forester and his assistants say that it is a source 

 of gratification to them to have the logging companies co-oper- 

 ate as they are doing. These notices are coming in and are 

 being filed. So far there has been no "kick." The lumber 

 companies are showing that they are willing to co-operate in 

 this matter. Co-operation in such matters means less fire in 

 the woods. 



Get One More Member. 



The Minnesota Forestry Association ought to have more 

 members. There are hundreds of persons in the state inter- 

 ested in the cause of forestry that do not know what the for- 

 estry association is. These people have never seen this maga- 

 zine. The forestry problems in the state will be solved 

 quicker if more people are taking an active interest. Every 

 member of the association can go out and get others. One 

 member got twenty-five others last month. Another sent in 

 applications for twelve memberships. 



If everyone interested will take it upon himself to get one 

 more member the forestry association will soon be booming. 

 Let us make the association a "live wire" in the state, charged 

 full of enthusiasm to help the work of forestry along.
