THE FORESTER. 



July, 



A Further Increase. 



Since the announcement, in the June Forester, of the large increase in the 

 membership of the American Forestry Association during a single month May 

 further applications have come in with hardly any diminution in the ratio of increase, 

 notwithstanding the advent of torrid weather and the vacation season. But for the 

 fact that the July Forester appears in advance of the usual date of publication 

 on account of the conventions of the National Educational Association and of the 

 American Forestry Association at Los Angeles it is more than likely that the 

 marked increase announced last month would have been duplicated in the present 

 issue.
