ring. The place originally designated
for the meeting was a beautiful spot
in the wood about six miles from
Bogalusa, the site Of the first school
of forestry ever instituted in Louis
lana.
The splendid hospitality extended
to the delegates by Colonel Sullivan
was an outstanding feature Of the
convention. He not only provided
special coaches from New Orleans and
back, but threw open to the delegates
the doors Of the Pine Tree Inn, one
Of the prettiest hostelries in the state.
On arrival the delegates first made a
trip through the largest lumber mill
in the world and paper plants, after
which they repaired to the forest,
and ]. Pluv. butted in and sent them
all home.
Those attending the convention re-
turned home on a special train to
New Orleans Sunday morning.
The idea of q summer forestry
school for Louisiana was made pos
sible by Commissioner N. L. Alex
ander, when suggested to the advi-
sorry board Of the department by
Prof. ]. G. Lee, of the Louisiana
State University. Through the CO.
operation of the department and the
university, assisted by w. H. Sulli-
van, who provided the site for the
forestry school, there has been built
up in Louisiana the best school Of
forestry in the United States, with
the possible exception of the Yale
School in the forests of Urania, also
in Louisiana, on the estate of Henry
F. Hardtner.
$500 Prize for Boy
w. Fl. Sullivan, president Of the
Great Southern Lumber Company, in
order to promote forestry in Louis
lana, has hung up prize of $500 to
the boy who makes the best showing
with a ten-acre plot in the matter of
demonstration.
Louisiana stands first among the
states in forestry and is second in
area of standing pine, Louisiana also
provides the best opportunity for the
propagation of second growth and
some important experiments in this
direction have been made at Boga-

fifteen years past has been conduct
| ing similar experiments in Louisiana
and it has been shown that second
growth pine trees can be grown.
