The importance of the meeting at Cum- 

 berland is noted by the favorable editorial 

 comment printed in several ol the leading 

 papers of Baltimore. Under the heading, 

 "A Railroad Takes up Forestry," the 

 Baltimore News comments as follows on 

 the meeting : 



" There is much significance in the as- 

 sembling of two hundred anil fifty rail- 

 road officials at Cumberland, Md., to 

 listen to lectures on forestry. The tact 

 that a great railroad system like the 

 Baltimore and Ohio should go to the ex- 

 pense of bringing its leading men together 

 that they may learn from an expert how 

 forests may be developed and preserved 

 indicates that even the highly practical 

 business man regards the preservation ol 

 our timber supply as a pressing problem. 

 Railroads use an immense amount ol 

 timber in cross ties. Exposed to the 

 weather and the strain of carrying heavy 

 loads, they wear rapidly. These ties are 

 becoming scarcer and dearer as the nat- 

 ural forests are being cut away, and it 

 does not require great foresight to realize 

 that the day is not so far distant when the 

 forests from which these cross ties come 

 must be replaced or a substitute for the 

 wooden ties must be found. Trees which 

 furnish good timber tor cross ties an 

 comparatively slow growth, and every 

 year is precious." 



Railroads are perhaps the 

 of timber in the country, the amount re- 

 quired annuall) foi

 ous other purposes is tret
