 U. S. Forest Service, 1908-1915. Lecturer, 1912, 1916, 

 1917, Yale Forest School. Preface by; Gifford Pinchot 



HIS work embodies the results of a study of the more important 

 phases of forest practice in Corsica, Algeria, and Tunisia. 



The author has unusual qualifications for writing on this subject. 

 His knowledge of the theory and practice of forestry in the United 

 States is such as could result only from thorough training followed by 

 wide experience in the field. Through his work in the Forest Service 

 he has seen the worst and the best of American methods of forestry, and 

 how these work out under the stress of practical, silvicultural, financial 

 and administrative conditions. His experience abroad includes not only 

 Continental Europe and the French Dependencies, which latter are de- 

 scribed in this book, but also forest management in British India as well.

Pasture." A new trunk road is bciiis built 

 and this work will be done in the best 

 tnaiiner possible so as to serve as a model 

 both as to work and costs. In the Bow 

 River Forest forty-five miles of telephone 

 line have been built. A very successful 

 ranger meeting was held at Morley when 

 all sorts of problems were discussed and 

 the men had an opportunity to get together. 

 The I.essi'r Slave Forest is the only one 

 which has been troubled by fire this sum- 

 mer. Assistant Director of Forestry T. W. 

 Dwight has been making a tour of inspec- 

 tion. 



Prof. W. B. Millar, of the University of 

 Toronto, who resigned recently is in train- 

 ing at Fort Niagara, N. Y. 



Messrs Benedict and Lafon, of the Brit- 



isli Columliia Forest Service, have left to 

 go oversea.s with U. S. Forestry Units. 



Dr. Fernovv and Clyde Leavitt, of the 

 Commission of Conservation, are on a visit 

 to Dr. C. D. Howe, at bis camp on Lac 

 Edward, Quebec, and will inspect the nur- 

 series, plantations and experimental work 

 of the Laurentide Company, near Grand 

 Mere. In 1908 this company planted some 

 Scotch Pine transplants, about three or four 

 years old, received from Mr. E. J. Zavitz, 

 Provincial F^orester of Ontario. These trees 

 have done well and average thirteen to 

 fourteen feet in height. Last year so' 

 of them had cones, and the seed from one 

 of these was planted this spring and has 

 germinated nicely. Nearly all the trees in 

 the plantation will have seed this year.
