Vol. XV FEBRUARY, 1909 No. 2 TWENTY^EIGHTH ANNUAL MEETING " Anti'-Forest Fire Congress" of the American Forestry Association Held in Washington, D, C.âNew Officers Electedâ President Wilson RetiresâReports of Directors, Treasurer, etc,âPlans for Effective Work THE twenty-eighth annual meeting of The American Forestry Asso- ciation was held in Washington, D. C, on January 13 and 14, in the red room at the New Willard Hotel. While, in point of attendance, the 1909 meet- ing may not have equaled former meet- ings, the interest was intense, and the meeting developed into one of the best ever held in the^history of the Associa- tion, if judged from the viewpoint of work planned and increased scope and effectiveness of organization. The meeting was marked by the re- tirement of the Hon. James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, who for ten years past has been the President of ^The American Forestry Association. ^The newly elected President is the j^Hon. Curtis Guild, Jr., former Gov- p_ernor of Massachusetts. A complete ^.list of new officers, directors, etc., will 11 ibe found in the usual place in this Ll magazine. The 1909 meeting was styled an "Anti-Forest Fire Congress," and sev- eral able and intensely interesting papers were read on the subject of forest fires and their control. Consid- erable discussion along this line devel- oped in the meeting, and the address of Frank H. Lamb, member of the State Board of Forestry of Washington, to- gether with the conclusions of the com- mittee on forest fires and their control, will probably be pronounced the ablest contributions to present-day thought along these lines that have been offered before any organization, either State, National or private. â The opening session was called to order at 10:30 a m., January 13, with Col. William S. Harvey in the chair. Welcoming in a few word
