Forestry School

Prof John NJ. Eriscoe. professor of
forestry at the University Of Maine,
in his annual report just filed with
the Governor and Council states that
the period just passed has been a diff
ficult one in common with all other
educational institutions in the United
States. owing to the number of men
enlisting in the various branches of
the service. ffany of the students
were unable to complete the require
ments for the Degree OF Bachelor of
Science in Forestry, but notwith-
standing the unfavorable conditions.
six men were graduated in June 1917
and five in May. 1918. All ~ these
men on graduation entered some
branch Of the service or the war in
dustrics Prof Briscoe says further:
"At the beginning Of the college
year the following was the registra-

complete their course, and it is hoped
that provision will be made for them
to do 50.
The usual short courses in forestry
have been offered for agricultural
students and also to candidates in the
pulp and paper course in the depart
ment of chemistry. Besides lectures
in schools. oranges and clubs, an i'm
pOrtant part of the educational work
during the past year was the revision
of the bulletin The Forest Trees of
Maine and the issuing of a new edi-
ton for free distribution. No impor-
equipment, and the staff was re
duced to one man, Mr.. c. w. Eaton
being granted leave for enlisting in
the aviation department of the Uni
ted States Navy.
Last spring transplanting was a
difficult task both on account of the
shortage of student labor and because
the school year had been shortened.

ond issue of $4,000 is very high ana
even more than the Liberty bonds are
selling for
The reason that more bonds were no,
issued in 1917 was because the Goyerno,
and Council did not wish to have out
standing more than was absolutely nee
essary for war purposes.
THE interest charge on the extra
issue, if it had been made in 1917 fol
the past IS months would have beer
greater than the loss in selling the wa,

ANNUAL REPORT STATE

Two hundred and seventy-one fires
were reported by the wardens and

District during the past year, accord
ing to the annual report of Forrest H.

commissioner. which has been filed
with the Governor and Council Of
these 50 required the services of men
outside the regular force. At one
time in May n dozen big fires were
raging in different parts of the State
and just as they seemed to be beyond
control a heavy rain fell and they
were eXtinguished at very small ex-
pense. I'm February letter was
written to all of the 1917 federal en-
ployes in regard to their returning to
their respective s. stations for the COM
ing year." says Commissioner Colby
in his report.
practically all answered that they
were ready to return, provided that
their salary was increased somewhat
According to the present law the SAL
airy of the deputy wardens is fixed at
two dollars per day and subsistence
1t was thought wise in the province
of the department to pay these war
dens two dollars per day and allow
them one dollar per day for board.
In previous years they were paid two
dollars per day and allowed so cents
per day for board. This made an in
crease of so cents per day. Even at
such a low salary all the federal em-
ployes returned to their work in the
spring except those who were called
under the Selective Draft.

This means that all who get cars of
that type in this territory during the
next several months must choose from
our present stock. 1t is not large.
Only few cars to meet four or five
months needs.
The reason is this: Production of
Hudson Super-Sixes was to have been
discontinued January LIST. Then the
war came to sudden end and auto
mobile production was allowed to pro-
coed. But factory cannot instantly
be turned from war activities to
building motor cars It will be June,
at least, before Hudson production can
be brought back to normal.
For the past four months we have
been trying to accumulate stock of
Super-SiXes, but we were never able
to get ahead. The demand took the
Hudsons practically as fast as they
were shipped.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1918-12-10

Just think, for a moment, of the
value of the Super-Six and why it is
so popular. More than 10000 are in
service. It has proved it's value under
every possible circumstance. During
the past year and half, when cars
had to be Of the right stuff or they
failed because there was no expert
service to keep them in condition, the
Super-Sixes never faltered.
The reputation Hudson made for
itself during that trying period has
added new glory to an already su-
preme car.
We now lave few cars of some of
the more popular models. Don't you
think it advisable to come and see
what we have? When you know how
limited our stock is, you will realize
the need for prompt decision.
