The Sixth Annual Meeting will be held at Springfield, 111., on the 14th, 15th and 16th of September, on the invitation of the State Senate and the House of Representatives. The local committee are endeavoring to make the meeting a memorable one. The object of the society is the endeavor to impress upon our people the need of caution, economy, and a conservative management of our forest resources; the need of a timely beginning for future emergencies; the need of systematic planting for immediate effects in the treeless plains; the need of forest preservation on our hills and mountains. Those who can aid the society by membership, by papers, or by their presence at the meeting, may address Mr. B. Fernow, Secretary, Washington, D. C.
