A Campaign Well Started 



Everyone interested in the cause of forestry, in the outdoor 

 life, in the protection of game of fish, have heard the battle 

 cry sounded at the annual meetingof the Minnesota Forestry 

 Association held in St. Paul. It is this: "Pass the constitu- 

 tional amendment that will make possible the setting state 

 forests." 



The Big Topic. 

 Every speaker at the meeting touched upon the subject of 



state forests. Every angle of the question was discussed. 



Like a silver thread, the question of state forests was inter 



woven in every address. It was the all absorbing topic. 

 The campaign for the constitutional amendment is started. 



It has been a good start. 



Twin city and country press united in an effort to spread 

 le gospel of state forests abroad. Now the real work for the 

 endment begins. From now until election time in Novem- 

 >r, it means active work on the part of every loyal member 

 the association. 



The convention was one of the most successful ever held 

 Minnesota. 



Association the First in the U. S. 



The forestry association was the first organization of its 

 kind in the United States. By its work at the last meeting it 

 indicated that it was still in the first rank. 



Many of the addresses delivered at the convention are here- 

 with presented. They speak for themselves. In some cases, 

 only extracts have been printed. Lack of space has prevented 

 publishing several of the addresses. One of these, the able 

 address by Mrs. C. L. Atwood, president of the State Federa- 

 tion of Women's Clubs, will be presented in the next issue. 



The campaign has been started. Let the work continue.
