 The program for the Fifth South ern Forestry Congress, which will be held at the Exchange hotel here January 29, 30 and 31, has been prac- tically 'copmleted. The interest which the Alabama lumbermen are taking in proposed forestry legisla- ton now before the house and sem ate will result in a substantial at tendance of local lumbermen at the congress, and the lumbermen of ad- joining states are taking an un- usual interest in the congress.
 Forest industries day, Tuesday, January 20, will be one of the main drawing cards for the lumber fra ternity. "The program for this day" according to Secretary R. D. Forbes of the congress, ''has been moGeled along the lines of the experience meetings in the old-time churches, Lumbermen who are actually pracl ticing forestry of one degree or an- other on their own lands will appear before the congress and tell of their own efforts.
 It is probable that the Alabama legislature will request some of the forestry advocates to appear before a joint night session of the house and senate. Some of the most prom inent lumbermen in Alabama are working on the problem of desirable forestry laws in their sate and will have the backing of the congress in this effort.
 The preliminary program is given in full below:
