FOREST SCHOOL NOTES

before the club on "The Progress of Pro- 

 tection." Chapler is now in charge of the 

 Co-Operative Production work in District 

 6 under the Weeks' law. Among other 

 things Chapler suggested that the time is 

 ripe for the development in the Forest 

 Service of a man of sufficiently distinctive 

 training to be designated as a Protection 

 Engineer. 



Early in December Professor Boul, head 

 of the Logging Engineering Department, 

 took the senior class in Logging Engineer- 

 ing, onto the operations of the Gerlinger 

 Logging Company near Corvallis, and 

 made a final survey for one mile of main 

 line logging railroad and a preliminary 

 survey of another mile. This is practical 

 work and is accepted by the Logging Com- 

 pany as a basis for their railroad construc- 

 tion. 



PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE 



T^OR several years, owing to crowded con- 

 ditions, The Pennsylvania State College 

 has not admitted students from outside the 

 State. The Fall of 1920 over 600 Freshmen 

 were turned away, most of them being from 

 Pennsylvania. This action, however, seemed 

 to work an injustice to students applying 

 for Forestry from states that do not have a 

 four-year Forestry School. Inasmuch as the 

 School of Agriculture at State College, of 

 which the Forestry School is a part,'is largely 

 supported by Government funds, the Trus- 

 tees of the College have recently decided 

 that students applying for Forestry from 

 States not having a four-year course in For- 

 estry wil be allowed to enter the College. 



PURDUE UNIVERSITY 



CEYMOUR MAZUR, who was gradu- 

 ated from the Department of For- 

 estry at Purdue University, at Lafayette, 

 Indiana, with the class of 1915, has recently 

 become connected with the State Forestry 

 Company, of Indianapolis, as a member of 

 the firm. Mr. Mazur was recently dis- 

 charged from the army, where he had a 

 good record, and his new connection is a 

 further recognition of his ability as a for- 

 ester. 



George Kunkel, of the class of 1918, has 

 left the employ of the Forest Service to 

 take up work with a private lumber com- 

 pany, as a timber cruiser at Eureka, Cali- 

 fornia. Mr. Kunkel's work is chiefly in the 

 redwood belt. He is very optimistic re- 

 garding the future in this field. 



John S. Matthews, 1917, is now with a 

 lumber company with headquarters at 

 Scotia, California. 



Mr. William Malcolm, M. S., Purdue, 

 1914, an early graduate of the department, 

 has recently entered into a long term con- 

 tract with the well-known school at Saint- 

 Marys-of-the-Woods, to landscape and re- 

 forest their large grounds. 



Plans are now being formed for the 

 establishment of a summer camp for the 

 Department of Forestry. It is likely that 

 the camp will be held in connection with 



the Civil Engineering Camp on the upper 

 end of the lower peninsula of Michigan. 

 At this camp various problems of forest 

 mensuration and organization will be 

 worked out. The extreme proximity of 

 the camp to actual woods operations, 

 makes it a very desirable site. All sopho- 

 mores will here receive first hand informa- 

 tion on wood and camp life as well as 

 supplement their lecture room experience 

 with practical outdoor demonstrations. 



NEW COURSES AT SYRACUSE 



'"FHE importance of dry kiln engineering 

 in connection with forestry instruction 

 is realized by the New York State College 

 of Forestry at Syracuse, and a course in 

 this subject is offered, to begin March 1. A 

 recent graduate of the College of Forestry 

 who specialized in dry kiln work has been 

 given a job paying $7,200 a year in India on 

 a three-year contract. 



Another course to be offered for the same 

 term at Syracuse is to give special training 

 in timber grading. This is becoming of in- 

 creasing importance with the high prices of 

 lumber now existing, for the timber grader 

 is able to save his employer large sums by 

 a technical knowledge of various kinds and 

 grades of lumber. The applications so far 

 received for these courses come from men 

 now engaged in the lumber industry, and 

 their employers are paying the expenses of 

 those who already registered for the two 

 courses. 



YALE FOREST SCHOOL 

 W STUART MOIR, M. F., Yale 1917, 

 who is at present in Sweden study- 

 ing forestry as a Fellow of the American 

 Scandinavian Foundation, reports that 

 studies are being taken up at the State 

 Forest School near Stockholm. Extensive 

 trips are planned to the western and 

 northern parts of the country to visit 

 the leading saw-mills and pulp plants, and 

 to study the technical management of the 

 forests. Particular attention will be paid 

 to the management of forests for pulp 

 wood production and the securing of 

 natural regeneration of cut-over lands, 

 and a careful study will also be made of 

 the particular application of the State 

 regulation of the cut on private timber- 

 lands, together with the requirements for 

 reproduction on these lands with a view 

 to continuous forest production. 



MAINE'S SPRUCE SUPPLY 



??/"iNE third of the growing spruce of 

 this country is on the soil of Maine 

 today," said Senator Fernald, of Maine, 

 in a recent address before the paint and 

 varnish men of the country. "We have 

 22,750,000,000 feet of spruce growing here 

 and we can cut 750,000,000 feet ever , year 

 from now until the end of time and have 

 just as much growing and we can with 

 proper consideration furnish the cities of 

 the United States with all the paper they 

 need."
