Expansion of Forest
By Broader Use of E
' •' ; "■ ’■ ft '• Hi i n • ' I •
Expansion of ail phases of forestry
through broader use of all the facilities of the
was envisioned in a statement Saturday by Pres
GiMrist.
In a study now being made of the forestry
college, the president said he rec-.f’’
ognized the need for strengthen
ing the program in the three broad
fields of conservation, research,
and education. The study ill
made by a group of college
members, Including 8. L.
acting director of the Forest Ser
vice. ; j.i.'•
“We are particularly interested
in the possibilities of bringing into
full use of all the research facil
ities of our Agricultural Experi
ment Station and the educational
and informational facilities of our
Extension Service, in the forestry
program,” President Gilchrist said.
“A start has been mad*! in this
direction | by the special training
courses established in forestry for
our county agents from the forest
areas, addition of undergraduate
courses in forestry, and through
a number of other cooperative pro
jects, but much more is yet to be
done in this line.”
State forestry has been ad
ministered by A&M through its
Texas Forest Service division
since 1915, and has gained na
tional recognition in a numbier of
projects. |
“We are determined to do eiven
better work in this important field
to prevent the depletion of one of
Texas’ major resource*, and to put
to greater use the trees which are
cut each year. We are seeking
means -of improving further our
forest fire protection service, of
giving more assistance to woodland
owners in developing better man
agement practices, and of increas
ing our production of tree seed
lings for reforestation. \ ,-j .
“We will expand and intensify
our researches in wood utilization
..o uo lit many phases oi tree
growth and land uses). We are de
termined to render an increasing
ly valuable service to the 140,000
Texas farmers, ranchers and other
small woodland owners, as wall as
to the 1,000 wood-using industries
of this state which employ 50,000
Texas people.”
