Says the Savannah Times: The
next convention to be held in the
south is the Forestry Congress call
ed to meet at DeFuniak Springs,
Fla, on the 10th of December.
Governor Perry has invited the
governors of all the southern states
to appoint one delegate from each
congressional district of their re
spective states to be present, and
the request has been generally COM
piled with. The object of this con
vention is a most commendable one,
it being the preservation and cult
walton of trees in this country,
whose extinction seems imminent
unless some check is put to it, or
some steps are taken to offset the
waste and destruction of our forests.
1t is estimated that at the present
rate of consumption the entire for
ests of the United States will dis
appear within the next half century,
and as the greater portion of the
timber remaining is now in the
south, the convention is called to
consider plans for its preservation.
Its deliberations will, we trust, ac-
complIsh much good. AS a con-
temporary says, "the western and
northwestern states, which were
thickly timbered few years ago,
have been almost denuded of trees,
and the people of those states are
engaged in replacing them every
year. The same loss and the same
labor awaits the south, unless the
proper steps to preserve its forests
be taken promptly"
