GUS headquarters The foresters all
express themselves as being well
pleased with tho convention, and they
are more than pleased with the cour-
tosies extended them by the home
foresters and the people of the city
generally,
After a big feast and. withal, a jol-
ly good time, at the Potter cafo last
evening, tho delegates took part in
the proceedings OF the convention to-
day with moro vim and earnestness,
perhaps. than at any time since the
beginning of the meeting. The dis
cuSslons during the day were ami
mated in many instances and they
were not exhausted in the convention
hall The boys were still trying to
settle merited points after they reach
cd the Railways at the noon hour ad-
journment.
A marked spirit of satisfaction is
manifested by all the foresters over
the selection Of Henry s Graves to
succeed Clifford Plnchot as their
chief. A number OF them express the
Idea that Mr. Graves is of the same
school as Mr. Pinchot and that there
will be no curtailmont under his
management. OF the work begun, The
Rooseyeltlan theory of running things
prevails largely with the foresters.
Forest Planting.
James NJ. Fetherolf, In charge of
the section Of planting In the district
Office read paper before the SUI
peTvisors' convention on some Of the
problems in forest planting. Mr..
Fetherolf commented upon the rapid
development OF the west. upon the
slow growth OF trees. upon the scare
ity Of timber IN parts of the district,
upon the needs of watershed protec-
tion and upon the consequent need Of
extensive forest planting. He con-
siders this line OF work especially I'M
portant In Wow Of the fact that the
forest service exists primarily for the
purpose Of protecting, extending and
perpetuating the timber resources and
stated that greater emphasis would
be laid upon this particular line OF
work In the future Up to the pres
ent two large forest nurseries have
been established in this district
These are now producing at the rate
OF FIVE million plants q year md arc
on a practical working basis. Mr..
Fetherolf also stated that four thous-
and flve hundred pounds OF seed had
been economically collected by the
supervisors In this district last fall,
the larger portion of which will be
used In carrying on experiments in
direct seeding during the coming
year Forest plantations have been
successfully started In this district
in the past. both by planting and sow-
ing Further experiments are still
necessary. however, and as soon as
the officers on the ground have ac-
quired fuller knowledge and expert
ence, much more extensive work will
be undertaken and on a larger num-
Der OF forests.
