Dr. Austin Cary Retires From U. S. Forest Service

Retirement of Dr. Austin Cary after a half-century of forestry activities including 25 years of continuous employment by the Forest Service was announced by the Forest S.ervice, U. S. Department of Agri,culture, today. Doctor Cary, who ranked as senior'logging engineer of the Forest Service, was the recipient of many letters of appreciation, including a letter from Chief For,ester F. A. Silcox. He was born in Maine and has gone back to spend his retirement at Brunswick in that State. In 4ecent years much of his time was spent in national forests of the East and at headquarters of the Forest Service in Washington.

A graduate of Bowdoin College, Do,ctor Cary took graduate work at Johns Hopkins and Princetofl, and taught forestry in the Yale Forest School and at Harvard. He also served in private forestry. As forester for the Berlin Mills Company, now the Brown Company of Berlin, New Hampshire, he was the first American to hold such a position. The Berlin Mills Company was one of the first lumber companies to plan for reforestation as it cut the timber crop from its properties. Before the U. S. Forest Service was created in 1905, Doctor Cary had also served in State forestry in Maine and in New York.

Hundreds of private foresters in the New England States and the South give him credit for having started them in the hitherto untried field of scientific forestry. He also was active throughout his career with the Forest Service in building up improved woods practice in the turpentine producing areas of the South. Besides making numerous contributions to technical and trade journals, Doctor Cary is author of the "Manual for Northern 'Woodsmen."
