Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Committee on Medical Topography, Meteorology, Endemics: Made to the Medical Society of the State of California at the Annual Session, Held at San Francisco, in April, 1883, Forest Preservation and Timber Cultivation
The annual meeting of the Forestry Congress for 1883 is to be held at St. Paul, Minnesota, in August.
This American movement was evidently inaugurated from the most patriotic and philanthropic motives, and the gentlemen who participate in it are men of learning, character and in?uence, of different sections of the United States and of the Canadian dominions; and I regard it as a most hopeful Sign of progress, and anticipate that by enlightening the people in regard to these matters, and by the in?uence and example of its members, the American Forestry Congress will lead in rescuing this country and this continent from the degree of ruin which has befallen so large a proportion of the territory Of the older countries.
Incthe States of Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas, forest culture is making encouraging progress, and on many of the farms, shelter belts and tracts Of timber are becoming a part of the system of agriculture. Two artificial forests are reported from Kansas, of 500 acres in each.
