MORE FORESTERS NEEDED 



More technically trained men are needed 

 in government forestry work is the state- 

 ment of District Forester George H. Cecil 

 of Portland, Oregon, in calling attention 

 to the special examinations held the 

 latter part of March for forest assistant 

 and grazing assistant throughout the west- 

 ern States. 



"The spread of the forestry idea through- 

 out the United States during the past few 

 years," said Mr. Cecil, "has been most 

 marked. The creation of two new forest 

 experiment stations by the federal gov- 

 ernment during the past year and the in- 

 troduction of bills in Congress for several 

 more stations, as well as the widespread 

 mterest being manifested in the two gen- 

 eral forestry bills now before Congress, are 

 an indication that the country as a whole 

 is realizing the seriousness of the forest 

 problems of the country. 



"These problems call for an early solu- 

 tion and here is an unparalleled opportuni- 

 ty for trained foresters, whether they en- 

 ter government work or whether they be-

FIGHT IS CONTINUED 



Although the Agricultural Appropriation 

 bill which recently passed the House of Rep- 

 resentatives, did not carry an appropriation 

 for the establishment of a Forest Experi- 

 ment Station in the Lake States and since 

 the bill to establish such a station was 

 killed by the Appropriations Committee, a 

 bill has just been introduced into the Sen- 

 ate by Senator Townsend of Michigan to 

 establish such a station and it is hoped 

 that it will be added to the Agricultural 

 -Appropriation bill in the Senate. 



Sentiment for the establishment of such 

 a station is keen throughout the Lake 

 States, particularly in Michigan. Numer- 

 ous civic bodies, trade associations, and 

 agricultural organizations have passed res- 

 olutions favoring its establishment. The 

 Northern Hardwood Manufacturers As- 

 sociation composed of Michigan and Wis- 

 consin luntbermen resolved in favor of the 

 bill at its recent meeting. The Michi- 

 igan H'ardwood Manufacturers Associa- 

 tion instructed its Forestry Committee to 

 take necessary action in regard to the bill. 

 The entire membership of the Committee 

 has individually expressed itself favorably 

 in regard to it. 



In Michigan alone three different lum- 

 bermen have made offers of land, the 

 total aggregating over i,ooo acres, to the 

 Government in case a station is established 

 in the State.
