The Beal Nursery 



In honor of Dr. William James Beal, pro- 

 fessor emeritus of botany at the Michigan 

 Agricultural College, the forestry nursery 

 maintained by the Forest Service at Tawas, 

 Michigan, has been given the name of the 

 " Beal Nursery." Dr. Beal was the first man 

 to make forest plantations in Michigan and 

 for over forty years has been closely identi- 

 fied with the subjects of botany and forestry. 

 He is a widely known writer on these topics 

 and is a member of a number of scientific 

 associations. In 1910 he retired from 

 active work and now makes his home at 

 Amherst, Massachusetts. 



The Beal Nursery supplies planting stock 

 for the Michigan national forest. It has a 

 present annual capacity of about 100,000 

 seedlings and transplants, which will be in- 

 creased to 500,000. The trees will be used 

 for reforesting denuded areas. 



Annual Forestry Conference 



The annual forestry conference in the 

 White Mountains will occur at the Craw- 

 ford House in the Crawford Notch, New 

 Hampshire, September 5th to 7th, 1916. 



This conference, under the auspices of 

 the Society for Protection of New Hamp- 

 shire Forests and the New Hampshire State 

 Forestry Commission, held at a central New 

 England point, has come to be a gathering 

 place for New England Forestry interests. 

 This year the program will be no less 

 interesting and varied. Dr. Fernow, Direc- 

 tor of the School of Forestry at the Uni- 

 versity of Toronto and President of the 

 Society of American Foresters, will be pres- 

 ent, as will Professor Filibert Roth, Direc- 

 tor of the Department of Forestry, Uni- 

 versity of Michigan, and William L. Hall 

 of the Forest Service. 



The keynote of the meeting will be 

 national forest administration in view of 

 the fact that the Government has lately 

 acquired 305,000 acres or 477 square miles 

 in the White Mountain region. 



There will be addresses illustrated with 

 lantern slides showing the situation in the 

 National Forest in the West and the new 

 National Forest in the Southern Appa- 

 lachians and in the White Mountains. Ex- 

 cursions will be made to different parts of 

 the National Forest near the Crawford 

 House and into the magnificent primeval 

 spruce timber that stands nearby upon the 

 6000 acres of forest land in the Crawford 

 Notch recently acquired by the State of 

 New Hampshire.
