The Indians had long before cut

THE FORESTRY
SUMMER CAMP
COURSE OF: 1915

Orono, Me-, July 7.-(SpeciaD. plans
are now being completed for the for
estry summer camp course which will
be given at Camp Lunkasoc, near sta
cyville, as last year. The camp will be
opened on Aug. 4. and will continue
until Aug. Is inclusive.
This two-weeks course was started in
the summer of 1913 in response to a de-
mand for popular, short, Introductory
course in forestry. The staff of instruc-
tors at the University Of Maine are in
charge OF the work, but it is not a part
OF the regular four-years professional
course in forestry given at the univer-
sity.
No tuition is charged but living ex-
penses While in camp are divided pro-
rata between those in attendance. thus
making the expense very light. Tents,
blankets and cooking equipment are
all provided at the camp. The work
consists in lectures, general discus
sions OF forestry problems, and prac-
teal field work, the latter occupying
fully two-thirds Of the time.
Ihero are no entrance requirements
OF any Kind excepting that the student
be at least is years of age, and in good
general health. The course is practical
ly recommended to students who are
thinking of taking a college course in
forestry. They can have ample oppor-
tunity to learn whether or not the
work will be to their liking, and the
attendance in the past has also includ-
ed guides, patrolmen, cruisers, timber
land owners. pulp and lumber mill men
and others interested in forestry from
the economic standpoint.
Registrations are now coming in. and
all desiring to attend this seasons
camp should send their applications to
Prof. John NJ. Briscoe, department Of
forestry, Orono, Me-. before July Is in
order that reservations may be made
for them, as the total attendance ia
limited to from IL to IS students each
year. A leafiet giving full particulars
Will be sent free on request, and any
other detailed information gladly fur
nished.
This opportunity to acquire an intro
duction to the general principles and
methods of forestry work should be
very popular. The expense is very
small, the equipment provided by the
department, and the site contributed
by an owner who is interested in prac-
teal forestry. There are ample oppor-
tunities for studying all of the various
methods of forest utilization practised
