lined to be under cultivation next year. 



The sooner we realize that there are large areas of 

 this state which will produce more wealth as forests 

 than they will as farms and treat them accordingly 

 the better off we shall be. This is no insinuation 

 airainst the quality of the state. It simply means 

 that forest products are so valuable and so essential 

 that a considerable area of the state could be profit- 

 ably devoted to the raising of timber even if every 

 foot of her sacred soil were "the most fertile in 

 America. 



The Cornell Forester 



The Forestry Club at Cornell University has issued 

 a very interesting annual under the title of the 

 "Cornell Forester" for 1920. It is a very interesting 

 little volume. In addition to short articles of local 

 interest it contains contributions from such men as 

 B. E, Fernow, AV. B. Greeley, the U. S. Forester; 

 Gifford Pinchot, Hon. G. D. Pratt, Conservation Com- 

 missioner of New York; Boiling Arthur Johnson, 

 editor of the Lumber World Review; S. T. Dana 

 of the U. S. Forest Service; Dean R. S. Hosmer and 

 others prominent in the field of forestry. 



These Forestry Club annuals are coming to fill a 

 rather important place in the forestry literature. The 

 articles very largely represent the advice of experi- 

 enced men in many branches of work to the uninitiat- 

 ed student. They are one of the best sources from 

 which the student may learn the varied opportunities 

 of the profession. There is no place else where this 

 field is so well covered. 



The students who get them out deserve consider- 

 able credit. 29
