SUPPORTING A FORESTRY

In Ihe current number of lln

icampaign to secure enormousj
Islale and federal expenditures for
Ibe purchase and Ihe re-foreslingI

1 II is a pity f«• see Ibe scholarly

In a leiiglby article in reply.!
j Willis Moore, eliief of the I' ii it —

["The theory that Ibe plant ing of!

ought not. lo receive serious al-l
lenlion." He says, further, that
Ibe Pinchoi theory is no| endorsed
by any of Ibe engineer officers of
