 grasses which are not palatable to 

 domestic animals, and also that they

 domestic stock will not use them. 



ENGINEERS COMMEND 

 CONSERVATION 



In the report of the Conservation 

 Committee of the Canadian Society 

 of Civil Engineers, presented at the 

 annual meeting held in Montreal on 

 January 23rd to 25th, reference was 

 made to the conclusion of a treaty 

 whereby Canada and the United 

 States will cooperate in the protec- 

 tion of migratory bird life which 

 would prove of inestimable ser- 

 vice to agriculture and forest pro- 

 duction, the two chief branches of 

 Canadian primary industry. The 

 material importance of this measure 

 and the utility of the insectivorous 

 bird life which it is designed to protect 

 might be judged from the statement 

 based on reliable authority that the 

 annual loss in the United States from 

 the depredations of insects amounts 

 to 3800,000,000.

New Haven, Connecticut, U.S.A. 



YALE University Forest School is a 

 graduate department of Yale Uni- 

 versity. It is the oldest existing forest 

 school in the United States and exceeds 

 any other in the number of its alumni. A 

 general two-year course leading to the 

 degree of Master of Forestry is offered to 

 graduates of universities, colleges and 

 scientific institutions of high standing, and, 

 under exceptional conditions, to men who 

 have had three years of collegiate training 

 including certain prescribed subjects. Men 

 who are not candidates for the degree may 

 enter the school as special students, for 

 work in any of the subjects offered in the 

 regular course, by submitting evidence that 

 will warrant their taking the work to their 

 own advantage and that of the School. 

 Those who have completed a general course 

 in forestry are admitted for research and 

 advanced work in Dendrology, Silviculture, 

 Forest Management, Forest Technology and 

 Lumbering. The regular two-year course 

 begins the first week in July at the School
