Mr. R. J. Loomis, manager of the 
Davey Forestry Company, Kent, O., 
who recently visited Chicago on tree 
surgery work for his firm, informs us 
that they employ some 150 men,

moving of large trees, and conduct

men. Only about 40 per cent of the 
applicants in such work make good. 
For the sixth annual meeting of 
the American Breeders’ Association

prepared which will include addresses 
by prominent breeders of plants, and 
scientists well known in the study 
of the heredity of plants, animals and 
men. Arrangements are being made 
to have many of the addresses illus- 
trated with stereopticon views and 
moving pictures.
