Excerpt from Forestry Quarterly, Vol. 7 With reference to reforesting burns, one naturally concludes as follows: Where trees grew before and produced a stand of tim ber which was valuable enough to cut for lumber, they may be made to grow again and to produce even more valuable material. On the other hand, it may be well to note that where trees never grew, forest planting is often most eagerly sought by the public.

Excerpt from Forestry Quarterly, Vol. 4 The Laquin Lumber Company, a very progressive firm operating near Laquin in North-Eastern Pennsylvania, has evolved a scheme of fire protection which in its efficiency leaves nothing to be desired. This happy result is due to an enterprising superintendent and the willingness of the Company to expend a liberal sum on the necessary "ounce of protection." The tract consists of 14,000 acres of first growth hemlock-hardwoods type. Annually 1700 to 1800 acres are cut over clean so that, it is estimated, the operation will be concluded in another five years. The Laquin Lumber Company is merely doing the cutting, the land is owned by the Central Pennsylvania Lumber Company. The two companies share the expense of protection. Every spring as soon as the snow goes, all the slash and brush around the skidways is burnt 25 to 100 feet (usually 50 ft.) back from the track. This is very expensive as the work has to be rushed through. Indeed it costs the Company $3000 a year, but the superintendent considers this a very profitable investment. If it were not for the proximity of green timber the company would burn all the slash every spring. During the dangerous season, a body of men is put to patrolling the railroad tracks and the boundaries of the tract. For this foreigners are employed - mostly Hungarians and Italians, who are paid $1.25 to $1.65 a day with an average of $1.49, and find their own board. These men are provided with axe, pail, hoe, and shovel and always carry the latter three utensils. The shovel is found to be the most efficient implement, except in few places.

Excerpt from Forestry Quarterly, Vol. 2 The first volume of the Forestry Quarterly was published under the auspices of the New York State College of Forestry by a board of managers and advisers formed of students, alumni and faculty members of that institution. With its second volume, owing to the closing of the college, the Quarterly enters upon an independent career, being published privately under the direction of a board of editors representing the profession at large and coming from the various centers of professional forestry work. This wider representation in the editorship of the Quarterly will, it is hoped, establish confidence in the authoritative and representative character of the publication, give it greater professional interest, and increase its usefulness in the direction in which the main ambition of the publishers lies, namely, to make it the organ for inter-communication on technical and professional subjects among the rising generation of foresters. With this aim foremost, the editors invite all those in the profession to contribute towards the success of this first professional journal by contributing to its pages and by adding its volumes to their libraries. Besides original articles, of which the publication of at least twelve is expected during the year, special attention will be given to reviews of foreign and home forestry literature. With regard to the foreign literature it is intended to so brief the more important papers as to make reference to the originals as much as possible unnecessary. It is expected to make the journal of interest not only to professional foresters but to all who are actively interested in the management of timber lands, especially lumbermen and those charged with the forestry interests of the various states.

Excerpt from Forestry Quarterly, Vol. 1: October, 1902 If the inhabitants of Germany should leave their country it would be all grown up with woods within a century. Since there would be nobody to use them, the soil would be enriched and the woods would not only increase in size, but in productive power. If, however, the people returned again and made just as large drafts as before for wood, litter and pasturage, the wood lands, even with the best forest management, would again not only be reduced in size, but also become less fertile. Forests form and thrive best where there are no people and hence no forestry, and those are perfectly justified who say Formerly we had no forestry science and enough wood now we have that science, but no wood. One could say with the same justice Those people are health ier who do not need a physician than those who do. But it would not follow that the physicians are to be blamed for the diseases. There would be no physicians if there were no diseases, and no forestry science without deficiency in wood supplies. This science is only a child of necessity or need, and need is therefore its natural concomitant hence the phrase should be: We have now a forestry science because we have a dearth of wood. Forestry, however, does not offer any nostrums and can do nothing against the course of nature. The celebrated physician Verdey said: The good physician lets people die; the poor one kills them. With the same right one can say the good for ester allows the most perfect forests to become less so the poor one spoils them. That is to say, just as the good physician can not hinder that men die because that is the course of nature, so the best forester cannot hinder that the forests, which came to us from past times, become less now they are being utilized.

Excerpt from Forestry Quarterly, Vol. 1 Although there are a number of publications in the United States and Canada, wholly or in part devoted to the propagandism of forestry, there are at the present time none which are mainly or entirely devoted to the professional or technical interests of the subject. With the establishment, within the last four years, of two fully-equipped special schools of forestry, whose graduates have begun work in the field; with the rapid expansion of the field work of the Federal Forestry Bureau, and of other agencies in technical direction, professional foresters have multiplied, and the time for means of communication among those who are building up the science and art of forestry in the United States seems to have arrived. The Forestry Quarterly is intended to meet this need. Besides publishing original articles on subjects of interest to the profession, and translations of such articles from foreign sources, it is intended to bring reviews and references to the current literature, and also, in brief notes, the news of the forestry world, personal and otherwise, with a view of keeping the readers in touch with the development of their art in all its branches. While this journal, in its inception and management, is a child of the New York State College of Forestry, it is hoped that, as time passes on, its pages may be used by all or any workers in the field for the discussion of their problems and record of their experiences.

Excerpt from Forestry Quarterly, Vol. 6 The origin of the steam skidder, which in its various forms is the main topic here to be treated, may be found in the grant ing to Mr. Horace Butters, of Luding'ton, Michigan, of letters patent for the first steam skidder. This original type of ma chine was devised to get logs out of low, wet places, and the curious surface formations found in many of the glaciated re gions of the Lake States, known as pot holes. Mr. Butters wisely foresaw the wide field possible to cover with his invention. Soon he replaced the Manila rope originally used by wire rope, and numerous important changes were made in the construction of the machine. In a circular in 1886 the possibilities of the steam skidding methods were first presented to the public.
