MAINE FORESTRY ASSOCIATION 



WITH an enthusiasm which 

 it is evident will carry 

 it along to a large member- 

 ship and a successful career, 

 the Maine Forestry Association, which 

 has been dormant since 1908, was 

 reorganized and revivified at a largely 

 attended meeting held in Bangor, 

 Maine, on Friday, January 22nd. This 

 was accomplished largely through the 

 efforts of Prof. John M. Briscoe, head 

 of the forestry department at the 

 University of Maine at Orono, and 

 Mr. E. E. Ring, secretary of the first 

 organization. The meeting was at- 

 tended by former members, repre- 

 sentatives of railroads, lumber com- 

 panies, pulp and paper companies; 

 members of the State legislature, State 

 officials and people generally interested 

 in improving the forest laws of the State. 

 Considerable forestry legislation is 

 needed at the present time, or will be 

 in the near future, and quite the best 

 way to secure it is to organize a strong 

 State Forestry Association which, work- 

 ing in cooperation with the American 

 140 



Forestry Association, will be able to 

 arouse the people of the State to an
