AMERICAN FORESTRY 



1565 



UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON 

 'T'HE College of Forestry at the Uni- 

 versity of Washington opened the first 

 quarter of the school year with an enroll- 

 ment of 135 — the largest in the history of 

 the school. Students are registered from 

 many sections of the United States and 

 from Chile, Siberia, Sweden, England and 

 the Philippines. 



At a recent meeting of the Forest Club, 

 Mr. F. E. Pape, Washington State Forester, 

 outlined the four routes for the airplane 

 fire patrol to be instituted in this state 

 next summer. 



The Hon. Clark V. Savidge, Commis- 

 sioner of Public Lands of Washington, also 

 addressed the foresters. He brought out 

 the surprising fact that if all the state lands 

 of Washington were in one block they 

 would make an area twice the size of the 

 state of Delaware. These lands are being 

 handled solely for the benefit of the edu- 

 cational institutions of the state, and the 

 schools are now realizing the interest on 

 sixteen million dollars derived from state 

 lands. While no forestry other than fire 

 protection is being practiced at the pres- 

 ent time, Mr. Savidge is looking forward 

 to forest management of these lands when 

 favorable conditions for making a start 

 have been worked out. 



The Forest Club, composed of the stu 

 dents in the College of Forestry, has en- 

 tered on what promises to be the most 

 successful year yet experienced, and the 

 seventy entering freshmen are showing 

 great interest and enthusiasm in the activi- 

 ties of the organization. The officers for 

 the ensuing school year are, Willis G. 

 Corbitt, of Seattle, president ; S. S.- An- 

 drews, Boulder, Colorado, vice-president, 

 and J. Kenneth Pearce, Portland, Oregon, 

 secretary-treasurer. Arthur K. Roberts, 

 Tacoma, Washington, will edit the 1920 

 "Forest Club Annual," of which Jack 

 Shank, Alton, Illinois, is business manager. 



TRI-STATE FORESTRY CONFER- 

 ENCE 

 A CONFERENCE of foresters of Indi- 

 ana, Ohio and Illinois held at Indi- 

 anapolis on October 22 and 23, and very 

 well attended, developed particularly valu- 

 able discussion on national and state forest 

 policies. Resolutions were adopted de- 

 manding public and legislative action to 

 assure a permanent timber supply. Others 

 were as follows : 



Resolved, That a system of taxation on 

 timberlands be adopted which will dis- 

 courage premature and wasteful cutting 

 and encourage forest renewal. Be it 



Resolved, That the states should greatly 

 increase their forest holdings by the pur- 

 chase of youn? second-growth and land

Evergreens Remove The Sting 



iiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiwiiiiiiiiiiiiiniuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiii^ 



Even the strongest wind loses heart when it tries 

 to penetrate a belt of evergreens. Pines in particular 

 give splendid protection from the keen, piercing 

 blasts of December and January, yet they will always 

 admit enough air to avoid stuffiness in summer. 



We have a splendid lot of pines on leased ground 

 which must be sold soon. To dispose of them 

 quickly we have priced them at exactly one-half 

 their normal values. They range from 3 to 6 feet, 

 and are strong, vigorous trees. Write to us for 

 prices and further particulars.
