The following resolut ons were adopted by
the National Agricultural Association at its
session in Chicago on the 18th:
WHEREAS, We begin to realize the lament.
able wasting of the forest lands of the United

their destruction upon the climate and water
supply OF the country, and are forced to con-
fess our need of knowledge of the better
management of the woodlands than is now
possessed by the people: therefore
hesoired, That we urge upon the State
Legislatures the propriety Of selecting iudi-
c1ous persons to act as State Forestry Conn
mlssIoners. whose duty it shall be to instruct
the people in regard to forest trees their nro-
duction and management, said officers to re-
