FORESTRY AND IRRIGATION 



June 



One party, consisting of Messrs. Fred 

 G. Plummer and M. G. Gowsell, is ex- 

 amining the Santa Barbara Reserve, in 

 California. On completing that work 

 they will turn their attention to the 

 mountains in the neighborhood of San 

 Luis Obispo, in the same state. The 

 second party, under Mr. T. F. Rixon, 

 is examining the mountains southwest 

 of Albuquerque, New Mexico. This 

 land has been reserved, and the exami- 

 nation is made in order to determine 

 whether it would be advisable to create 

 there a forest reserve. 



Kansas 

 Horticultural 

 Society 

 Meeting. 



Nearly all of the papers 

 announced in our last 

 issue as being on the 

 program for the Kansas 

 State Horticultural So- 

 ciety's meeting at Dodge City, on May 

 ii and 12, were presented, and many 

 good points concerning forest growing 

 in western Kansas were developed in 

 a most successful meeting. A com- 

 mittee was appointed to recommend 

 plans aiding the Bureau of Forestry in 

 Kansas and increasing the efficiency of 

 the state forestry work. This commit- 

 tee is to report at the annual meeting 

 of the society next December, and it is 

 hoped that its report will eventually 

 lead to much more effective forest work 

 by the state, as well as more active co- 

 operation with the Bureau of Forestry.
