AMERICAN FORESTRY 



Qifford T^inchot says of 



"TIMBER" 



By Harold Titus 



"Not only a capital story, 

 but it stands by itself 

 among all the stories I 

 have ever read about the 

 forests of America. It 

 is not only full of human 

 nature and vivid action, 

 but it is also full of for- 

 estry and the true spirit 

 of conservation. It tells 

 the story and tells the 

 truth. I hope it will 

 have an immense circu- 

 lation, for wherever it 

 goes it will carry a mes- 

 sage that our people 

 greatly need to learn."

field Manual of Trees John H. SchafF- 

 ner (.\dams) Columbus. $1.25. 

 This book is a revision of the author's 

 former Trees of Ohio and Surrounding 

 Territory and carries out more definitely 

 the idea of having a convenient guide by 

 which it is possible to study our trees at 

 any season of the year. The keys to iden- 

 tification are complete and elaborate tech- 

 nical descriptions have been eliminated for 

 brief notes covering necessary points are 

 included for each species. Most of our 

 common, cultivated, exotic trees are in- 

 cluded since these form an integral part of 

 the landscape and in some places more 

 conspicuously than the native species. 

 With the aid of this Manual the study of 

 trees may be made a pleasant and profit- 

 able pastime at any season of the year. 



Lumber It s Manufacture and Distribu- 

 tion Ralph Clement Bryant (Wiley) 

 New York. $4.50. 



A textbook for forest schools and a 

 valuable reference book for those who de- 

 sire a sound, general knowledge of the 

 lumber industry. This is the only text- 

 book on lumber manufacture and distri- 

 bution now available in any language. 

 While it is primarily a textbook for for- 

 est schools, and will be of value to tliose 

 who desire a general knowledge of the 

 lumber industry, it presents in book form, 

 for the first time, a complete but concise 

 discussion of the various phases of lum- 

 ber manufacture in the United States. 



The subject matter is divided into three 

 parts, the first dealing with plant location 

 and the standard types of equipment used 

 in the manufacture of lumber, with meth- 

 ods of handling at sawmill plants. The 

 second part treats primarily of the tech- 

 nique of the industry, including the meth- 

 ods of lumber manufacture, seasoning, etc., 

 and the third part treats very fully the 

 economic problems of lumber distribution. 



A copy of Trees of New York State, 

 Native and Nanturalized, has been sent the 

 editor and accepted as a most valuable 

 contribution to the library of the .Associa- 

 tion. Written by Dr. H. P. Brown, of 

 the faculty and issued by the New York 

 State College of Forestry for the purpose 

 of giving "information regarding the for- 

 est resources of the state, chief among 

 which are its trees" this book is sure to 

 have an eager and appreciative reading. 



Impressions of European Forestry Ralph 

 S. Hosmer, Cornell University. $1.00. 

 An interesting and informative book, 



describing in non-technical language, what 



European countries are doing in forestry. 



This book is a compilation of a series of 



letters, which Prof. Hosmer wrote to the 

 editor of The Lumber World Review dur- 

 ing a six months' trip through Great 

 Britain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Ger- 

 many and France in 1921. The author in 

 his "Foreword" makes no pretensions to 

 having covered comprehensively the; forest 

 work of the countries visited, but states 

 that his object was "to present in a non- 

 technical way the personal reaction of one 

 .A.merican forester to certain European 

 forest practices." 



Mr. Hosmer's book is a valuable contri- 

 bution to American forestry literature. 

 Because of the popular and interesting 

 style in which it is written, it will serve 

 to give the layman as well as the forest 

 student a clearer conception of what these 

 European countries are doing in forestry. 



ALBINO DEER 



Deep down in the heart of every hunt- 

 er who has heard of or seen a white 

 deer (an albino of the red species) is the 

 hope that he may get one of these beau- 

 tiful creatures. Eli Rand, of Ladysmith, 

 Wisconsin, has been lucky enough to 

 shoot such a deer. It is perfectly white 

 v/ith the exception of a few small mot- 

 tled marks on its ears and back of its 

 neck. This deer was with three others, 

 one of which had white legs. The iris 

 of its eyes are pure white. The Indians 

 have always regarded the albino as sa- 

 cred among animals. The intense glow 

 of the white fur of this animal has 

 caused a halo to appear above its body 

 in the photograph. H. E. Zimmerman.
