are the contests at Stockholm, Sweden, where 
Americans scored 
A World’s Victory at the Traps 
and defeated the experts of Europe in a spec¬ 
tacular manner. This achievement of winning 
the Team Race and Individual Championship is 
more proof that Du Pont Powders DO make

weaker clubs, the W'arren, Pa., Rifle Club is practically

The Progression of Forestry. 
BY ROBERT PAGE LINCOLN. 
Forestry, in the sense of the word, means 
the protection and preservation of our tim¬ 
bered districts by the following of a care¬ 
ful judgment, under the supervision of men es¬ 
pecially fitted for this task, and yet forestry 
means more than protection and preservation. 
Although the two features walk hand in hand, 
so to speak, it is yet notable that many an issue 
has to be met with quite aside from the above 
mentioned qualities. The forester is not alone 
in his task. With him must be the lumberman, 
for without the one the other would have a bur¬ 
den on his hands. Hence, lumbering is a valu¬ 
able unit in the conservation of our great forests. 
The forester with his keen judgment marks out 
the old trees standing in the way of younger 
timber. These must be done away with to aid 
the growth of the new generation. Here is 
where the lumberman steps in and performs his 
task. Nor is this all that comes under the head 
of forestry. The menace of the forest fire has 
wasted millions of stands of timber. Without 
the help of man in replacing this valuable asset, 
nature would fall short of her power; the con¬ 
sequence would be that where once the forests 
held sway, nothing would appear in the shape 
of tree growth for many a decade. The forester 
has solved the problem by planting over these 
practically deserted grounds, and the work is 
extended into districts where tree growth has 
never appeared in any form. Waste lands, unfit 
for agricultural purposes, have been utilized for 
forestry purposes, thousands of acres being 
planted with small pine shoots that some day 
will rise into a mighty foresty to benefit gener¬ 
ations to come. In even the most unlikely soil 
it is not hard to make a pine shoot take root. 
Thus it will be seen the movement, now so well 
started, bears with it a vital significance that 
must not be slighted. Here there are manifold 
opportunities, which, extended along the right 
lines, are sure to bring about a reclamation of 
seemingly worthless ground. Lumbering in the 
past was a menace to the life of the standing 
forest. The old-time lumberman followed no 
rules, and recognized no laws. The main idea 
he held was to get as much profit out of what 
presented itself as possible to the exclusion of all
