AMERICAN FORESTRY 



COLORADO AGRICULTURAL COL- 

 LEGE, DEPARTMENT OF 

 FORESTRY 



A COURSE is being offered for the first 

 time by the Forestry Department of 

 the Colorado Agricultural College for the 

 preparation of forest rangers. This course 

 will be offered in the "School of Agricul- 

 ture," which is of secondary grade, corre- 

 sponding to an agricultural high school, or 

 as preparatory to entrance to the Agri- 

 cultural College. 



The "School" is conducted by the Col- 

 lege, and the most of the teachers are 

 college faculty members. The Ranger 

 Course requires three years and makes 

 optional a six weeks summer course in 

 forestry practice. Two courses in fores- 

 try are offered each semester, or twelve 

 forestry courses during the complete period 

 of three years. 



It has been the experience of the Forest 

 Service in Colorado that 90 per cent of 

 Forest rangers leave the Service within 

 a ten-year period to enter usually some 

 ranching or agricultural work. Forest 

 rangers are commonly young men who 



later enter other vocations, but they per- 

 form a wonderful public service. Meagre 

 pay by the Government causes the most of 

 them to enter more remunerative fields. 



The object of the Ranger Course is to fit . 

 young Coloradoans for effective work as 

 rangers, and for their later work as agri- 

 culturists when they shall have served a 

 number of years as rangers. The College 

 is also progressing satisfactorily with its 

 higher or professional forestry instruction. 



NEW YORK STATE COLLEGE OF 

 FORESTRY AT SYRACUSE 



/^HARLES E. SIFFERLEN, of Brook - 

 lyn, a graduate of the New York State 

 College of Forestry, who went to the Yale 

 Forest School for his graduate work, has 

 been named instructor in forest engineer- 

 ing at the New York State College of 

 Forestry at Syracuse, filling the vacancy 

 caused by the resignation of Oliver M. 

 Porter to become Assistant Secretary of 

 The American Paper and Pulp Associa- 

 tion. He will report for duty at once, and 

 his first work will be the taking charge 



of field work of the sophomore class of 

 the college. He was with the forest engi- 

 neers in France, and was later in Canada 

 for an American paper company. 



Another shift in college circles was the 

 securing of J. Elton Lodewick, a recent 

 graduate of Syracuse, by the University of 

 Maine, as instructor in dendrology and 

 forest pathology in the biology depart- 

 ment. Mr. Lodewick graduated at Syra- 

 cuse in 1919, received his master's de- 

 gree last spring, and has since then been 

 assisting Dr. Harry P. Brown, of the 

 technology department, in research work. 



The summer camp of the college on 

 Cranberry Lake has been the most largely 

 attended in the history of the college, for 

 not only the summer camp has been en- 

 gaged with the sophomores, but a special 

 camp under special instructors, has been 

 conducted for others interested in forest 

 problems during the entire summer. 



Special work in study of forest insects 

 has been done by several New York State 

 College of Forestry faculty men and re- 

 search men from other states, in the college 

 forest insectary.
