"Forest Week ol 1927, observed from the Rio Grande to the Arctic," the American Forest Week committee says, "has been more far reaching and effective than any previous forest week in the five years of its history.

"Broadcast by radio, flashed on the screen, printed in thousands of newspapers, voiced by speakers in the great cities and country crossroads of the nation, presented to millions of school children, the message of better forestry has been spread throughout North America.

"Perhaps the most lasting effect of the week's observance is in the millions of young trees that were planted-most of them by boys and girls whose interest in forestry has been aroused largely through American Forest Week organization and propaganda.

"Much has been accomplished by the co-operating agencies, and it is gratifying to know that in most instances the forestry programs of these organizations will be carried on throughout the year and not confined to one u'eek.

"The state chairmen, whose hard work and enthusiasm were responsible in a large degree for the widespread observance of the week, are to be especially commended."
