forestry courses are given and in those
where little attention is given the sub
ject. - -
Appeal was made to the States to en-
courage private forestry by extending
facilities for popular information on the
subject. and especially by establishing
demonstration forests. The improvement
of forest fire protection methods Is also
sought together with reform in the for
est taxation laws. The States are urged
by the convention to employ State
forester especially qualified for the posi-
tion.
OF Congress the association asks In
creased appropriations to provide ade-
auate protection from fire to the national
forests, and to aid the States in carrying
cut a definite policy in regard to preser-
walton and extension of the public forest
domains. In conclusion. the association
strongly urged the passage OF the Ap-
palachian national forest bill. 1t was
pointed out that the nation eooid no
longer afford to permit the wholesale de-
vastation of the forests to continue. with
the resultant effect upon streams ana
rainfall.
