DEAN BAKER'S NEW WORK 

 'T'HE American paper industry has taken 

 over Dean Hugh P. Baker, head of 

 America's biggest forest college- the 

 New York State College of Forestry at 

 Syracuse^ under conditions which indi- 

 cate both that America's timber industry 

 appreciates the need for a study of fu- 

 ture raw materials, and for men with a 

 technical knowledge of forestry in industry, 

 and also that American education does 

 not oflfer sufficient financial inducement 

 to hold as college officers men who are 

 wanted in business. 



Dr. Baker resigned January 10 to ac- 

 cept twice the salary which he is now 

 rated as receiving, to become secretary- 

 treasurer of the American Paper and Pulp 

 Association, with headquarters at New 

 York. He was to take up his new work 

 about March 1. The trustees will select a 

 successor to Dr. Baker at the July meet- 

 ing, unless a special meeting is held earlier. 



The selection of Dean Baker for the 

 executive officer of the parent association 

 of America's great paper industry, means. 

 according to Dr. Baker, a greater opportu- 

 nity for the advancement of the principles 

 of the forestry profession than is possible 

 in any college. His letter of resignation 

 outlines important phases of American 

 forestry development of the past eight 

 years, and also discloses that in the spring 

 of 1919 he refused an offer of $7,500 from 

 the outside, to remain as Dean of the Col- 

 lege at a $6,000 salary. Even this sum he 

 was not to receive at once, for under the 

 rigid New York State budget the raise 

 would not become operative until July 1, 

 1920, and then only after action by the 

 legislature. 



FORESTERS' WEEK 



PORESTERS' WEEK, an innovation in 

 New York forestry work and in the 

 educational field, will be held at the New 

 York State College of Forestry at Syracuse 

 for the week beginning Monday, April 12. 

 Special days will be devoted to particular 

 features of the forestry problem. The - 

 Southern Pine Association, for instance, 

 has already arranged to have its salesmen 

 for this part of the country here for one 

 day of special study of forestry problems 

 to aid them in their work in the lumber 

 industry. Another day will probably be 

 devoted to the problems of the municipal 

 forests, and other days to other typical 

 problems of the forest products industry. 



FIRE FIGHTING COSTS 



'T'HE federal government spent $2,500,- 

 OOO fighting forest fires in the Inland 

 Empire during the 10 weeks of fires last 

 summer, according to a statement by R. W. 

 Fraser, forest supervisor. The district 

 covers northeast Washington, northern 

 Idaho and western Montana. "This is a 

 record-breaker for expenditure," said Mr. 

 Fraser. "The many fires and the long sea- 

 son of fire fighting this year was also very 

 unusual."
