FORESTRY CONGRESS-.
Session at st. PauI-Address of George
Ii. LOring.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. S.-Thc American
forestry congress assembled to-day. Presi-
dent Geo. b. Loring delivered his annual
address, stating that the clearings in the old
settled parts OF the country are being filled
up with trees. In Ohio, Maine and New
York States the acreage is growing constant
" greater. In other States where the
subject of forestry IS given some atten-
tion there is also n gain. In States
where "arbor day" has been established
the number of trees planted increases
year by year. There is need Of further en-
couragement of this enterprise. The forest
acreage of the United States is less than a
fourth of the total sufacc, less proportion
than in the east, west and north of Europe
The address treated of the decrease of pine
timber, showing that the supply would be
exhausted in the northern portions in few
years at the present rate of cutting, We
must depend in the near future upon the
pine forests of the Gulf States for lumber.
Much remained to be done for the care OF
forests. Much timber is being wasted in
burning and cutting.
