...this subject. The whole work under him will not only deal with the methods of turning forest trees into lumber profitably but will also take up the necessary details of finance and manufacturing. The lack of efficiency and economy in the lumber industry of today is lamentably noticeable. Much timber is made into lumber at a distinct loss. The whole manufacturing and marketing end of the lumber industry is in need of just such scientific study as this new course affords...
...evident that the quarterback question, which has long been the thorn in the side of the coaching staff, will still find no new solution, and that Freedley and Logan will henceforth have to bear the brunt of the quarterback work. Bradlee, although he once gave promise of being quarterback timber, shifted to the backfield of the substitutes yesterday. Apparently the attempt to make him into a quarterback has been given up. Bradlee, however useful a man he may be for the substitutes, was one of the few quarterback hopes; Logan and Freedley both are reliable and steady, but neither measures...
...dredging out the river-bed for the Cambridge pier of the new Stadium bridge, the workmen have come upon an old corduroy road, which probably served as the first bridge across the river in this vicinity. The road is remarkably well preserved, and the timber beyond being thoroughly watersoaked is otherwise in first-class condition. The logs extend down into the ground to a depth of twenty feet below the present river...
Professor R. T. Fisher, of the Division of Forestry, spoke on. "The Management of the Harvard Forest" last evening. In demonstrating the principles of technical forestry, the aim of study at the Forest is a sustained yield of a given amount of timber from a given area. The two problems encountered in effecting this regularity of yield are, first, how to replace trees cut and, second, how to improve the immature stand. Various methods are used to replace cut trees, including the group, strip, and thinning systems of cutting and also artificial planting. Care in lumbering, and thinning...
...Hall, of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, lectured on "The Canadian Northwest" last evening and described a country of wonderful promise and limitless opportunity. Its agricultural possibilities are evidenced by the emigration of 250,000 of the farmers of the middle west into the region during the past three years. Mineral, timber, and power resources are also promising...
