Work to be Continued. 



The work will undoubtedly be continued in Northern Min- 

 nesota. So much has been accomplished during these first 

 two summers and so much more remains to be done, that it 

 is of the utmost importance that it be continued. 



"Much has been accomplished," said Professor Johnson, 

 speaking of the results of the trii3s. "However, there is still 

 much more that we can do. 



"The university and the state owes a gre'at debt of grati- 

 tude to Mr. Bell for making this all possible." 



Forest Service Policy. 



The preservation of the wild life in northern Minnesota is 

 one of the chief aims of the state forest service. The work 

 accomplished by the university party and also by Professor 

 D. D. Lange, of St. Paul, has been just the thing desired by 

 the forest service. One of the policies of those most inter- 

 ested in the wild life is that non-agricultural lands should be 

 kept for the growing of trees. By preserving these lands for 

 forestry purposes the wild life of this state will be preserved. 

 The forest is the home of most of the wild life. 



"So much of the land we visited is fit for nothing but the 

 raising of trees" said Professor Johnson. "It is essentially 

 non-agricultural. It is well to have it remain so. It will make 

 for the preservation of Minnesota's wild life." 



The sentiments expressed by Professor Johnson state, in 

 effect,. the policy of the state forest service on this question. 



The western forestry and conservation association will hold 

 its annual conference about December 75. This year it will meet 

 at Vancouver, B. C., and T^/// t/ive its main consideration to the 

 problem of forest fire prevention and control. 



The railroads of the i'niled States use about 150,000,000 wood- 

 en ties each year.
