AMERICAN FORESTRY 



509 



adjacent States are protected from fire and 

 wisely managed, these regions which are 

 now shipping lumber to other parts of the 

 country soon would be forced to import 

 supplies for their own use. 



The question of adoption by the State 

 of a definite forest policy came up for 

 discussion. The need for such a policy, 

 including an adequate organization for the 

 pievention and suppression of forest fires 

 was emphasized by the assistant forester, 

 as it had also been emphasized in the For- 

 est Service report to the Senate. 



Although North Carolina still has a con- 

 siderably amount of timber, cutting is 

 progressing at a rapid rate and the remain- 

 ing old-growth forests are bound to dis- 

 appear unless a definite conservation pro- 

 gram is adopted by the State. On ac- 

 count of the mountainous character of a 

 large part of the State and the heavy 

 rainfall it is said by foresters to be all 

 important to take steps now to prevent 

 denudation of important watersheds. 



NEW YORK STATE COLLEGE OF 

 FORESTRY AT SYRACUSE 



W AXE\V high mark was set in every 

 form of college work by the first 

 post war year of the New York State Col- 

 lege of Forestry at Syracuse," declared 

 Dean F. F. Moon to the trustees of the 

 college, during their annual meeting. The 

 trustees advanced two professors in grade, 

 in recognition of long and efficient service, 

 and confirmed the appointment of two 

 members of the faculty, named during the 

 year. Assistant Professor Carl J. Drake, 

 of the Department of Forest Entomology, 

 who has been doing notable research work 

 among insects attacking trees, was ad- 

 vanced to a professorship, and Assistant 

 professor Reuben P. Pritchard, of the De- 

 partment of Silviculture was advanced to 

 a full professorship in the same depart- 

 ment. The appointments of H. L. Hankin- 

 son, as Professor of Ichthyology, in the 

 Roosevelt Wild Life Forest Experiment 

 Station, and of C. Earl Libby, as assistant 

 professor in charge of the pulp and paper 

 making, were confirmed. 



Among the features of Dean Moon's re- 

 port were the following items: The New- 

 York State College of Forestry had the 

 largest attendance the past year of any 

 American forest school; a freshman class 

 of 120 broke all records; the demand for 

 trained men is phenomenal, there being 400 

 calls for fully or partially trained foresters 

 for permanent or summer work this year, 

 with only fifty men available, these calls 

 from about 80 prospective employers ; in- 

 portant research work, particularly involving 

 the paper industry, and the use of yellow 

 birch is under way, and the call for lec- 

 tures on forestry from the State has been 

 so great that the State can no longer bear 

 the expense of sending the speakers free, 

 but must ask that those desiring speakers 

 pay the expenses of the lecturers.
