AMERICAN FORESTRY 



"We are never too busy to read your 

 admirable magazine, American Forestry." 

 C. H. Pearson, 

 New York City. 



"I am very glad to accept membership in 

 the American Forestry Association and I 

 shall do all that I can to promote an inter- 

 est in forestry work. This end of our state 

 is now awake to the need of it. I feel that 

 this work is most important educationally." 

 Orton Lowe. 



"I have just received the last num- 

 ber of American Forestry and I am de- 

 lighted with it." r. a. Bullock, 

 Boston, -Mass. 



"I think that your plan to get out a 

 technical edition is excellent, and I shall 

 be glad to receive it. Since my father 

 takes the regular edition, this will enable 

 me to see both, and I should not like to 

 miss the usual number even with a techni- 

 cal edition in place of it." 



Philip T. Coolidge, 

 Watertown, Mass. 



"I wish to congratulate you upon the 

 happy solution of the problem of a popular 

 magazine on technical forestry subjects 

 suitable for the professional members and 

 a magazine which deals with the popular 

 side of forestry and related subjects." 

 F. W. Besley, 

 State Forester of Maryland, 

 Baltimore, Md. 



"I always greatly enjoy the Associa- 

 tion's magazine and look forward to its 

 coming. I know of no more interesting 

 problems than those of our forests and 

 none which the public more needs than the 

 kind of enlightenment which the Associa- 

 tion gives." Miss Fay Ingalls, 



Oyster Bay, N. Y. 



"The American Forestry magazine is 

 beautiful, useful, and interesting dealing 

 with a subject all important." 



David B. Bird, 

 Chicago, 111. 



"I am very much interested in the For- 

 esters Edition and wish to congratulate you 

 upon the excellency of the subject matter. 

 I wish it were possible for you to get out 

 these editions often. It seems to me that 

 the present is a critical time in the forestry 

 movement and that we have a great deal 

 to gain or lose in the immediate future. 

 There certainly is no better agency than 

 American Forestry to disseminate the 

 right kind of information for the forestry 

 interests of the country." 



Edmund Secrest, 

 State Forester of Ohio. 



"The Foresters Edition of the American 

 Forestry was a very interesting number 

 to me. r. c. Jones, 



State Forester of Virginia. 



STOP THE DECAY OF TREES 

 W7 HEN EVER the limb of a tree is 

 blown off or becomes diseased, the 

 stump should be sawed off even and paint- 

 ed with creosote or tar paint; otherwise de- 

 cay will set in and spread to other parts 

 of the tree. 



Oftentimes even a nail hole will so in- 

 jure the bark that it will come off leaving 

 the wood underneath unprotected. If these 

 spots are left bare, decay will set in and 

 seriously endanger the tree. A coat of 

 creosote or tar paint will prevent spread 

 of decay and gradually the bark will grow 

 over the bare place again. 



BIG PECAN GROVE 

 'T'HE possibilities of pecans in Texas 

 have scarcely yet been realized, and 

 the remarkable progress being made is 

 proving astonishing to many old-timers. 

 Some of the pecans brought to the Exten- 

 sion Service, A. and M. College of Texas 

 by J. A. Evans, the pecan specialist, as 

 samples of the nuts gathered from trees 

 under his care are indeed excellent speci- 

 mens, and efforts are under way to make 

 arrangements for grading and classifying 

 pecans so that producers of excellent varie- 

 ties may reap a just reward for their 

 labors. 



The owners of the old Turner farm near 

 Irwin, Texas, which Mr. Evans visited a 

 few days ago for the purpose of giving 

 advice regarding the advisability of grow- 

 ing pecans and incidentally fruits and ber- 

 ries, evidently see great possibilities in 

 pecan production, since it has been decided 

 to establish a big pecan grove at this place. 

 Mr. Evans reported that he found one hun- 

 dred acres well adapted to pecans and ber- 

 ries, but that there was no clay subsoil 

 for peaches. 



KILL PREDATORY ANIMALS AND 



PROTECT GAME. 

 T>EN LILLY, who has killed 190 mountain 

 lions in the last seven years, and is 

 probably the greatest living lion-hunter, has 

 reached the conclusion, after years spent on 

 the trail of this beast, that where deer are 

 plentiful, an average of 100 per year are 

 killed by each adult lion. "In the spring," 

 says Mr. Lilly, "a mother lion with young 

 will kill a fawn or a calf every day." He 

 believes that the great question in game 

 protection is to kill off the predatory ani- 

 mals. Judged by practical results, Mr. Lilly 

 is one of the most successful game pro- 

 tectionists in America. 



MUNICIPALITY OPERATES 

 SAWMILL 

 "P ROB ABLY the only city in California 

 to operate a mill for the production of 

 lumber for its own use is San Francisco. 

 Its mill, at Groveland, south of Sonora, 

 Tuloumne County, now is in operation. 

 One hundred men are employed. (The 

 Timberman, June, 1919.)
