The real population Of city is not
necessarily the number Of people within

latlon Is 20 include all contiguous areas

CLOSING FORESTRY
LECTURE GIVEN
STUDENTS HEAR r. !. ROCKWELL
IN LAST OF MOST INTER-
EsTING SERIES.

The last number Of the series of IL
lectures at the state university by
members of the local forestry staff
was given yesterday afternoon by f.
/. Rockwell, acting chief of products.
Mr.. RockWells lecture was on "The
Use and Preservation of Forest
Products" which proved to be an in
teresting as well as instructive sub
ject for the close of the series.
The u lectures, which has been
open to all the students and the pub
lie, have served as a fitting introduc-
ton to the establishment Of de-
partment of forestry at the state uni
versity. Many students who other
wise would not have been attracted
to forestry are keenly interested in its
study There is a class this semester
in elementary technical forestry work
under e. G. Clifford of the local fores-
try staff. There Is also a decided in
crease of interest in botany and other
allied subjects. The forestry depart
ment will be already well started
next fall, when a regular professor
viii be appointed.
In his talk yesterday Mr.. Rockwell
supplied some very interesting details
relating to the products of the ma
tional forests and the necessity of
taking care of the preserves. The
speaker told OF the need Of curtailing
the consumption Of wood as fuel In
order to preserve it for more valuable
use. He told of the substitutes foi
wood which were being placed on the
market, quoting the uses by the rail
roads of steel ties in their track beds
where wood was formerly used. Mr.
Rockwell stated that the railroads
were beginning TO see the approach
of dearth of wood for track build.
ing purposes, and were fortifyine
against famine. "One of the first
steps toward conservation of forest
resources" said Mr.. Rockwell yester-
day, must be an attempt to better
utilization of the harvested products
He said that a great waste attended
the handling of wood from the time
the timber is felled to the moment
when the finished product Is turned
out of the hands of the manufacturer
The lecturer talked interestingly Of
the utilization of timber and made 6
number of good suggestions relative
to the more economical manag cement
of the national forests.
