The Forestry exhibit was contained 

 in three different rooms, and the neat 

 arrangement, the extensive character 

 of the exhibit, and the tasty decora- 

 tions spoke well for the men in 

 charge of the work. Perhaps no 

 other department showed such a 

 marked betterment in its exhibit over 

 that of last year as the Forestry De- 

 partment. Praise for the good show- 

 ing, interest in the things shown, and 

 wonder at the strange exhibits were 

 heard on every hand. The exhibit not 

 only helped fill a place in the general 

 exhibit, but it gave the department a 

 good piece of pleasant advertisement. 

 Loyd Hornby was the General Chair- 

 man of the committee in charge, and 

 his assistants on the committee were 

 the following: W. W. Weber, in 

 charge of Publicity; J. B. Taylor, 

 Silviculture Exhibit; R. L. Hogue, 

 Products; C. K. Valiton, Grazing; W. 

 G. Ives, Technology; W. E. Bond, 

 Souvenir; C. W. Boyce, Pictures; M. 

 D. Murdock, Protection; A. A. Griffin, 

 Management; C. C. Delavan, General; 

 J. D. Steere, Novelty. 



Room 335 on the third floor of the 

 Engineering Building held the ex- 

 hibits of Silviculture, Grazing, and 

 Mensuration, with also various 

 specimens of insects and fungi, pro- 

 tection publicity schemes, logging 

 pictures, a camping outfit, and model 

 of a regulated forest. The Silvicul- 

 ture exhibit contained trees of differ- 

 ent ages and species, showing the 

 growth from the seed to the ten or 

 twelve foot tree. Among the speci- 

 mens were pines grown at the Fores- 

 try Farm, of various ages; redwood 

 seed, cones, trees, bark and wood; big 

 discs and little trees of hardwoods; 

 examples of abnormal growth; and 

 specimens showing the manner of the 

 girdling of trees by rodents. The 

 Grazing exhibit was spread out, the 

 different grasses and forage plants 

 being arranged with explanatory 

 cards. The Mensuration part of the 



program contained an exhibit of the 

 tools ordinarliy used in that work, 

 Biltmore sticks, scale sticks, abney 

 hand levels, traverse boards, hypso- 

 meters, anaeroid barometers, plane 

 tables, proportional dividers, com- 

 passes, calipers, and many others. 

 Logging tools, piPo poles, log 

 chains, peavies, cant hooks, cross cut 

 saws, brush hooks, single bit axes, 

 and various logging pictures taken 

 all over the country were also shown. 

 Insect and fungi specimens were on 

 exhibit, and the latter included some 

 samples showing the effect of the 

 Chestnut Blight Disease and the 

 White Pine Blister Rust. Bulletins, 

 posters, drinking cup advertisements, 

 showing the means of giving publicity 

 to fire dangers were also on display. 

 Possibly the real center of attraction, 

 however, was the "regulated forest," 

 which was of course, the main part of 

 the Management exhibit. What mat- 

 ter if the trees were only little brush 

 affairs? Or if the audience could 

 look right at the demonstrator and 

 see the secret of the rapid growth of 

 the forest? It was a neat piece of 

 explanatory mechanism. It worked 

 by a simple turn of a handle, was con- 

 tained in a box some ten feet long and 

 four feet wide, and showed, as long 

 as the handle was kept in constant mo- 

 tion, just how a forest of a one hun- 

 dred year rotation would be regulated 

 on a "seeding from the side" method. 

 It was the invention and work of 

 E. C. Luebben, '15, and proved the 

 big crowd attractor of the room, 

 though it was not set up until the 

 second day. Other exhibits in this 

 room consisted of maps, charts and 

 bulletins of statistics, besides a one 

 man camp outfit in all its complete- 

 ness. Souvenirs of three weeks old 

 Douglas Fir seedlings, and wafers of 

 birch, poplar, yellow poplar, maple, 

 oak and elm were given away here, 

 with the "compliments of the U. of 

 M. Forestry School." The fine ar- 

 rangement of the trees in the room,
