WISCONSIN FORESTRY ASSOCIA- 

 TION. 

 The Wisconsin Forestry Association, or 

 ganized last winter as a result of a call 

 issued by a score of state-wide industrial, 

 commercial, farming and civic associations 

 and organizations of women, is working 

 actively and steadily for the adoption in 

 Wisconsin of a comprehensive state for- 

 estry policy, says the Milwaukee Journal. 

 It seeks to bring about the reforestation of 

 non-farming land located anywhere in Wis- 

 consin. It advocates growing forest pro- 

 ducts within the state, utilizing hundreds 

 of thousands of unpro(Jjictive acres and in- 

 creasing and making permanent the great 

 wood-using industries, now rapidly dwind- 

 ling. It urges adequate protection of forest 

 lands against fire, a change in the taxing 

 system that will conserve standing timber, 

 and just treatment, in the way of taxation, 

 of settlers and communities within forest 

 areas. 



The Association also urges the refores- 

 tation without delay of the shores of lakes 

 and streams ; the creation of village, city 

 and county forests and the planting of na- 

 tive trees along all state and county trunk 

 roads. 



The Association, now working under a 

 temporary organization, will soon file arti- 

 cles of incorporation and effect a perma- 

 nent organization. Already it has a mem- 

 bership which includes lovers of nature, 

 lumbermen, paper makers, manufacturers, 

 professional men and prominent women. 



Already the foundation has been laid for 

 a broad, constructive state forestry policy. 

 The legislature took the initial step so to 

 amend the constitution as to empower the 

 state to acquire and reforest nonfarming 

 lands. Bills to enable the state to acquire 

 tax title deeds to land suitable for forestry, 

 to permit towns, villages and cities to es- 

 tablish memorial forests adjacent to their 

 municipal limits, to insure better fire pro- 

 tection and to multiply the growth of plant- 

 ing stock in the state forestry nursery for 

 reforesting municipal and private lands are 

 among the forestry measures that have been 

 enacted. 



The Association is planning a systematic 

 campaign preparatory to the legislative ses- 

 sion seventeen months hence. Henry C. 

 Campbell, assistant editor of The Journal, 

 is chairman; F. W. Jones of the Brown 

 Land and Logging Company, Rhinelander, 

 is vice chairman; George D. Bartlett, Mil- 

 waukee, secretary of the Wisconsin Bank- 

 ers' -Association, is treasurer and C. L. Har- 

 rington, forestry member of the state con- 

 servation commission, Madison, is secreta- 

 ry. Any one of them will be glad to reply 

 to inquiries regarding the organization, its 

 purposes and the conditions of membership. 



State forestry embodies the greatest ma- 

 terial opportunity that Wisconsin possesses 

 outside of industrial and agricultural devel- 

 opment. It is work, moreover, that will
