FORESTRY ATTHE EXPOSITION
The forestry and forest products ex
hibit at the Panama-Pacific Interna
tional Exposition will be shown In the
Palace of Agriculture, which with the
exception of the great Palace of Ma
chinery, Is the largest exhibit palace
of the exposition. The Palace of Agri
culture covers an area of 328,633
square feet and Vas erected at a cost
of $425,610.
Group 134, under, the official classifi
cation of exhibits, is divided into four
classes of forestry exhibits comprising
forest geography, maps, statistics and
general literature, geographical distri
bution, botanical collections, seeds,
. bark, foliage, flowers, fruit, bark and
wood sections. The planting, equip
ment and processes for tree collection,
nursery practice, field planting and
field sowing, make up class 661. Man
agement and utilization, equipment
and processes for protection from fire,
insects and disease, organization of
protective forces, ranger stations,
trail and telephone systems, logging
methods and equipment, transportation
of logs and systems of cutting, com
prise another.
The indirect use of forests, such as
watershed protection, effects on cli
mate and public health, prevention of
erosion and shifting sand, use of wind
breaks for recreation or a refuge for
game, Is all considered In a separate
class.
Forest products are exemplified In
three classes: lumber, equipment and
processes used In cutting lumber-logs
Into lumber, drying,, dressing and
grading; saw-mill and planlng-mlll
products for the manufacture of lum
ber; wagon-stock, cooperage, boxes,
pickets, shingles, and doors. Veneer
ing and veneerlng-cutting machinery
will also be shown. Forest by-productstan-bark
and extracts, naval
tores, oils and distillates, charcoal,
"wnk, dye woods, medicinal and textile
barks. Kiln-dried wood, wood fuels
and wood will occupy another class.
The best excelsior Is made from
basswood or linden. Aspen and Cot
tonwood, however, jlupply nearly half
. of the total amount manufactured.
THE FOREST GLOB
This being the foresters' "Rag" an
account of the Forest Club will not
seem out of place. This club was or
ganized eleven years ago by a small
group of very enthusiastic forestry
students and has continued without
a break up to the present time. A large
majority of thoBo who have been
really active members In the past are
now In forestry work which shows that
the Forest Club appeals to those who
are In earnest about forestry as their
life work.
The activities of the forest are
many as members of the Botany de
partment can testify. They have been
patiently enduring the atrocities of the
foresters for a long time but seem to
realize that the enthusiasm which la
prevalent In the club will break out at
times ofen giving the effect of a tor
nado or earthquake. Tloxlng, wrest
ling and many forms of gymnastics
are indulged In by the foresters In the
crowded quarters In Nebraska Hall,
and nearly every year some ambitious
fellow tries out the fire extinguisher,
probably for the purpose of gaining a
little pratclcal experience In fire
fighting. This, however, is not all that we do,
Meetings are hold every two weeks
and all turn out to hear the speakers
who talk on subjects primarily of In
terest to forestry students. The pro
gram this year included lectures by
students, faculty members and promi
nent Forest Service men and has been
an exceptionally good one.
The employment bureau of the
Forest Club plays an Important part
In making good foresters of those who
come here. A student needs practical
experience along with what he learns
In the class room and in order to get
this must go out In the woods and do
the actual work. Nebraska students
last Bummer were sent to logging
camps, saw mills, Forest Service mu
seums, experiment stations and many
other branches of Forest Service work
In Nebraska, South Dakota. Wyoming,
Colorado, Utah, Montana, Arizona and
Idaho.
The Forest Club Annual, a book
dealing with technical forestry prob
lems Is discussed elsewhere in this
Issue,
The social functions of the Forest
Club are also Important to those who
take part. Smokers and dances are
given during the year, but the big
event is the Pow-Wow, held at. the
State Farm grove every fall. The
first thing Is a football game between
different classes. This being played
under Marquis of Queensbury rules is
very exciting and cannot be forgotten
in less than three or four weeks. This
Is followed by a big "feed" (the forest
ers are strong for the eats), during
the preparation of which other con
tests such as log-sawing and target
shooting are carried on by those who
are able, A couple of hours are then
spent around the fire singing and tell
ing stories and then we go to town
and attend some show In a body.
