THE FORESTER. 



ARE YOU INTERESTED. 



The American Forestry Association. 



Announcement of Summer Meetings. 



Los Angeles, Cal.. July 19=20. 



The arrangements for this meeting are in the hands of Mr. 

 Abbot Kinney, of Los Angeles, to whom inquiries may be ad- 

 dressed. 



It is expected that the President of the Association, Hon. 

 James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, will preside at one 

 or more sessions, and that papers will be read by Mr. F. H. 

 Newell, Hydrographer of the Geological Survey, Mr. Gifford 

 Pinchot, Forester of the Agricultural Department, and others. 

 Detailed announcements of the place and the hours of sessions 

 will be published in the local papers. 



This meeting of the Association promises to be of peculiar 

 importance. The deep and increasing interest in forest mat- 

 ters which now pervades Southern California, the nearness of 

 the San Gabriel, San Bernardino, and other forest reserves, to 

 which excursions are being planned, the opportunity to in- 

 spect the results of the forest policy of the Government in a 

 region of very special interest in this direction, and the repre- 

 sentative attendance which this meeting will undoubtedly at- 

 tract all these facts combine to assure one of the best con- 

 ventions ever held. In view of the pressing importance of 

 the question of sheep grazing on forest lands, nowhere better 

 illustrated than in the neighborhood of Los Angeles, and of 

 the intimate relation of forestry and irrigation, a full attendance 

 of Western members is especially desired. 



Persons wishing to attend can take advantage of the low 

 railroad rates secured by the National Educational Associa- 

 tion, which meets in Los Angeles July 11-14. Round- trip tickets 

 can be had at the price of the regular fare one way, plus a $2 

 membership fee in the N. E. A. The going limit is July n ; 

 the return limit September 4. Many attractive side trips have 

 been planned at low rates. Full information can be obtained 

 from the passenger agent of any leading railroad. 



Selected papers will be printed in The Forester, the official 

 organ of the American Forestry Association.
