52 An Address to The Associated Foresters fContinued from page 455 increasingly harder to do this every year and the low grades the first year are not unlike the old ball and chain-pretty hard to drag along and after the second year may be even impossible to unshackle. It pays to get a good start, men. It makes the sledding in the following years much easier. If you get this idea of Working on scholarly attainments early in the game, the professional activities, con- tacts, and interests that go to make up what is recognized as the attributes of a real for- ester, will later take care of themselves. Xi Sigma Pi would like to recognize each one of you, but the attainment of the goal is up to you. Do not hesitate to go to any of the mem- bers and especially the instructors to ask questions which may come up in your mind about what I have discussed tonight. We as a group want to be interested in each indi- vidual student and give him all help possible in his educational problems. In the shade of your mw mu1'iug pine trees Is healing and peace and rest, The long dim trails on the mountain side, Call meh of the East and West. THE IDAHO FORESTER Do You Remember? fContinued from page 363 WHEN Shorty Bennett dropped the stadia rod on Humpy Ellis's head? WHEN Prof. Watson herded a range man- agement class into a leading cafe in Lewis- ton where we ordered coffee only to augment the lunches we had with us and which were consumed therein? WHEN Bill Lansdon got his corduroys torn to shreds when returning from a field trip to Moscow Mountain? WHEN the mensuration class staged a mock funeral march through the streets of Mos- cow? WHEN Dr. Haasis got in Fred Newcomer's path during a contest at the barbecue in 1930? WHEN the boys accused Dean Miller of not practicing forestry and he said, Well, there are two kinds of bald heads. One kind is bald on the outside, the othertu and then he sat down? WHEN Spence Went fishing on the Clearwater River near Lewiston and claimed he caught an 8-pound salmon but was observ- ed by the lumbering class coming out of a Lewiston meat market? The I932 Junior Field Trip iContinued from page 311 MONDAY, MAY 30. Today may have been Memorial Day for some people, but just another work day for the juniors. Did some preliminary thinning work. In the afternoon we visited some es- tablished thinning plots and calculated the thinning to be done on our own thinning plots. TUESDAY, MAY 31. Went up Big Creek to where George Wood- 'em-up Yarneau showed us logging opera- tions. Superintendent E. C. Olson sure gave us some meals, five kinds of dessert included. Paul Larsson, after much persuasion Cby forcej was taken from the table. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1. Worked on our thinning plots. Most people get pay for working, but we paid to work. THURSDAY, JUNE 2. It rained this morning so we got a half a day to catch up on reports. Benson and James spent the morning by putt-polishing. In the afternoon we put the finishing touches on the thinning plots and destructively criticized the plots of the others. FRIDAY, JUNE 3. Spent the morning cruising timber up Big Creek. Found out that we were not as good cruisers as we thought we were. About two p. rn. we started for Moscow. At Spokane the party divided and so-longs and farewells were given. Cook, Brown, Opie and Sowder nursed the temperamental truck back to Mos- cow. By nursing is meant that part of the distance covered was by the main strength of pushing. Thus endeth the junior field trip of 1932. ?mr1,1Illllmllnn-iiH-Hu1..u1lU.1ll,,1.n.1 1 ... .-lmllw INSURANCE SAVINGS . A. R.

54 THE IDAHO FORESTER consists of supplying all the treated forest products used by the Atlantic SYSt9m Of the Southern Pacific Railroad, also a con- siderable amount of cross ties for the Pa- cific System of the Same railroad. In ad- dition we do quite a bit of investigative work on new preservatives which are sub- mitted to us. We have an experimental treating plant that is kept in almost con- tinual operation on the various phases of wood preservation. Toxicity tests are made on all of our creosote purchases, and a cer- tain amount of experimental work is also done on this Subject. This company main- tains eight test tie Sections, the inspection and care of which are part of the duties of this laboratory. Recently I donated to the Houston Public Library the last seven issues of the Idaho Forester. The library expressed considerable satisfaction on re- ceiving this publication.

He writes, One of the biggest jobs on my dis- trict this year is the completion of the visi- bility studies and the start of our improve- ment plan. An interesting study being car- ried on this year is type mapping by air- plane. Jas. Yule from Missoula, had a strip of pictures made along my boundary on an unmapped area. We took the pic- tures and outlined every change visible. Then from sample plots on the ground we made a physical inventory and tied it to the picture. The balance of the types were determined by comparison, using the sam- ple plots as a starting point. We will not have a chance to test the results until May. It is quite interesting and I believe it will 'pan' out. FICKE, HERMAN, '31, U. S. F. S., St. Maries, Idaho. Herman has been in Moscow from time to time.
