AMERICAN FORESTRY ASSOCIATION 
At the thirtieth annual meeting of the American Forestry 
Association, President Guild predicted the enactment of the 
Appalachian forest reserve bill during the present session of 
Congress. He urged the foresters not to allow a single 
amendment to be made to the bill. A movement is on foot 
to establish a national forest reserve adjacent to our capital 
city. This prediction has been verified. Both houses have 
passed the bill and nothing remains to be done but the 
affixing of the Presidents’ signatures about which there is no 
question.
