Foresters Meet 



Pennsylvania State Foresters met at 

 Galeton, Potter County, Pa., on August 10, 

 11 and 12 for their fourth annual sum- 

 mer convention and during that time the 

 annual meeting of the Pennsylvania State 

 Forest Academy Alumni Association was 

 held, with W. Gard. Conklin, of Harris- 

 burg, presiding. The foresters visited 

 Asaph on the Stone State Forest, and 

 Crossfork on the Ole Bull Forest. 



At Asaph was seen the State forest tree 

 nursery, where nearly 2,000.000 seedlings 

 are produced annually, and a number of 

 interesting and instructive plantations, 

 among which is an experimental plantatioi 

 made in conjunction with the Du Pont 

 Powder Co. to determine efrects of subsoil 

 dynamiting to stimulate tree growth. Of 

 no less interest were object lessons learned 

 from plantations damaged by ice, floods, 

 landslides, and fires ; also plantations made 

 from "culls" and seedlings which are usu- 

 ally discarded, showing good establishment 

 and growth. The best white ash plantation 

 on State Forests was seen. 



At Crossfork were plantations of white 

 pine, bull pine, silver pine, red pine, Scotch 

 pine, Norway spruce, Douglas fir, red oak, 

 and European larch. The operation of a

Dinner for State Forester 



A dinner was given for State Forester 

 Griffith at Madison, Wis., on July 16, in 

 appreciation of his service in the cause 

 of forestry in Wisconsin. About twenty 



of Mr. Griffith's friends were present, rep- 

 resenting a variety of interests. Informal 

 talks were given by President Van Hise 

 and Dean Birge of the University of Wis- 

 consin, ex-Senator Hatten, and Howard F. 

 Weiss, director of the forest products lab- 



State Forest telephone system was studied 

 there. Crossfork is an abandoned lumber 

 town and once was almost as thriving as 

 Galeton. The comparison and contrast be- 

 tween the two is a matter of historical and 

 economic interest.
