New York State is celebrating this year the fiftieth anniver- 

 sary of the founding of the Forest Commission, the forerunner 

 of the State Conservation Commission. Beginning with a dinner

 speakers, the celebration will include a celebration at Niagara 

 Falls, a water pageant in central New York and a three-day

A new botanic garden has recently opened at Fort Worth, 

 Texas. The garden covers thirty acres and was built largely by 

 relief labor, financed by the CWA. The garden is under the con- 

 trol of the Board of Park Commissioners of the city. The de- 

 velopment of the work is in the hands of R. C. Morrison, city 

 forester.
