. Conservation. Forests and forestry. NATION'S NEED OF FORESTRY WORK 491 The work suggested is but prepara- tory to the chief object which we have in view, forestry legislation. In accord- ance with the forestry policy suggested by the National Forest Service, your Forestry Committee recommend that a bill, establishing a Department of For- estry at the University of Missouri, be submitted to the next legislature.

In this work club women can give material aid by following the sug- gestions given in this report. The forestry question is one of the most important before the people of Missouri to-day.
