Magazines of forestry seem unfortunate. Forestry, an excellent magazine published in Edinburgh and London, has ceased publication. There is a wide spread sentiment that "something should be done to preserve and renew our forests," but it is only a sentiment, those who hold it for the most part prefering that others shall find out what that "something" is and also pay for the investigation. It comes down to our teaching, that we must show that forest planting will pay a forest planter, before forestry will become popular enough even for a journal devoted to it to be able to exist.
