With reasonable luck, we will be using this first unit a year from this fal or winter. Work will be continuous on the forestry wing, and with a little more luck, we'll be using that two years from this fall or winter.

XI SIGMA.PI is the Honorary Foresters fraternity at the College of Forestry. Its membership is made up of faculty, graduate students, and junior and senior ¡ students who have excelled in school activities and scholarship. This year, as many years in the past, XI SIGMAPI cooperated with the Forestry Club in getting the 11 Junipe published. A new function of the fraternity, initiated this year, was the sponsorship of the Audubon LecttU"e Series. The series feattU"e color movies on the out-of-doors, narrated by outstanding nattn"alists. Indications are that this program will be very successful in the ye~rs to come.

CARCO EQUIPMENT FITS SUSTAINED YIELD LOGGING. • •

Wherever you may praetice forestry, you'll find Carco winches and arches used by leading loggers and sold and serviced by prominent tractor dealers. You'll find, too, that Carco logging equipment is rugged and dependable with unusual staying power. P ACIFIC CAR AND FOUNDRY COM· PANY, Renton, Washington, and Franklin Park, Illinois.
ORESTERS have found a Carco winch with Carco crawler or rubbertired arch and tracror the most versatile rig in the woods for harvesting and conserving timber. That's true on tree farms or elsewhere, whether you're clear cutting or selective logging. Because of its great maneuverability, this smooth-working tractor equipment operates with minimum damage to standing trees and minimum expense for access roads. It efficiently and economically bunches and yards large or small timber. It reaches out for isolated logs and winches them in from inaccessible spot s.

conservation week
The Utah Foresters have stood for conservation as "wisE use of natural resources," since the Club was organized thi1 years ago. In 191+2,Forester's Week on the Utah State camp\ had as its theme, "Forests--Keep Them Growing." Nine years ¡ later the Foresters decided to spread their conservation meE ages throughout the state. Utah Conservat i on Week was proposed to "promote a fuller appreciation of the value of our renewable resources by focusing public attention on coordina statewide conservation activities." The proposal became a reality in 1951 when the Governor procla imed Utah Conservatj Week as the week preceeding Arbor Day. The Foresters are publicly supported by the U.S. Forest Serv ic e, The Bureau of Land Management, Soil Conservat i on Serv i ce, and the State Forester-Firewarden. In 1952, the Utah Foresters first recognized outstandir land use practices. Awards are presented to the Utah men outstanding in each of the three fields: Forest, Range, and Wildlife Management. This year, once again, Governor George D. Clyde proclaj Conservation Week in the State of Utah. The Utah Foresters devoted their efforts to achieving the objectives of Conservation Week: to publicize the need for conservation, to regard conservation as wise use of natural resources, and tc recognize outstanding conservation practices.

FOREST MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT
During the past year, many significant changes and improvements have been made to strengthen the teaching and research activities of the Department. Last winter J. W. F. had six months sabbatical leave and took a semester of school work at the School of Natural Resources at the University of Michigan. Last fall, on October 1, we added a new staff member to fill a gap long vacant in our teaching and research staf. Professor Dean N. Quinney came to us directly from the Lowe: Peninsula Forest Research Center, East Lansing, Michigan. Professor Quinney will strengthen our department in the field of forest economics. He is a native of Pennsylvania, took his B. S. F. at Penn State College, his M. S. at New York State College, and has completed the resident requirements for the Ph.D. at Michigan State University. Two additional research projects were undertaken at the beginning of the 1958 calendar year. Professor Quinney is currently studying the utilization and markets for Aspen and Professor Tocher is actively engaged in a winter recrea tion research project.

Summer Camp at Tony Grove and the college forest have •en much improved in 1957. A brand-new, modern kitchen 1d dining room have been built. The old one is now emolished, but its memories will remain with many of you. iis year is the first time in our history Ray Moore has budget for the college forest. This budget is being 1ed to locate and establish roads and to facilitate a mplete management plan for the forest. In order to meet the growing demand for qualified •n in the field of forest recreation, the Department tablished a Forest Recreation option this year. In dition to utilizing our own staff, the Engineering 1llege and the Landscape Department will be used to und out a course of instruction for these majors. Our old CM-4 Nursery has finally felt the pressure college population growth. The old nursery area where ny of you planted, lifted, and packed is now occupied girls' dormitories. The nursery had to go, but the ange was good. In cooperation with the state forester d Soil Bank monies, a new 20-acre nursery with good ildings, good fences, and--Ted (Dr. Daniel) thinks--a ch better soil to work with has been established at e mouth of Green Canyon. Enrollments are up. This year we have 59 freshmen, sophomores, 48 juniors, and 21 seniors, in addition to ~raduate students in Forest Management. Despite the rge classes, permanent and temporary employment still oks good. Every student looking for work is getting it. :sis a healthy situation and can be improved only by roving quality, and this is where you can come in. ase send us the best prospects you have. --J.

RANGE MANAGEMENT Business is boo ming here. Registration, both graduate and undergraduate, is at an historical high. During the pasty for graduate work-- 7 doc we have had 25 fellows registered candidates and 18 master's. Undergraduate range majors num bered 104. It's odd--you'd think jobs would be hard to get but, despite these numbers, we just can't get them out fast enough to fill the many fine job offers. Civil Service sal were raised this year and a fellow can almost name his agen and state. What a life! So we can still use some good ran boys if you see one in your wanderings. We made a ni ce new addition to our staff this winter. Doct (well, almost) John Vallentine became our Extension Range a Fo~est Specialist. John took his master's here in 1952 and then took his doctor I s work at Tex.as A & M. The Fish and Game Depart ment also stationed Arthur Sheets h to help Art Smith with the game-range research work. These two Arts are really grinding out some fine work now.
Phil Ogden still holds the post of Range Professor and Researcher at Cedar Cit y Branch College of Southern Utah. WaJ Cook, Benny Goodwin, and I still teach and try to do some r search in the spare ti me, if there were any.

study progra m has developed quite a bit in recent years. have a full pro gram of 8 graduate range courses and 17 ergradu.ate. This includes swnrner camp, a freshman class 150 students(!), and the annual field trip now taken in te mber before regular classes start. dents can major in the regular range program, in a forestge program with lots of forest management to satisfy Civil vice, or in watershed management. This last program is very ortant and is expanding. We are one of the few schools in rica where this work can be obtained. held a range alumni dinner at the range society me,etings ?hoenix last January. Believe it, there were 73 fellows re. It ' ¡s really a thrill to see how the old gang progresses. sis by far the largest at these meetings, and of course best! se drop in to see us whenever you chance in the Logan area. can't do that, write. We will deduct the 3¢ from your dues--or will we? --L. A. Stoddart

range society
The Utah State University Student Chapter of the Utah Section of the American Society of Range Management was organized in April of 1957. It now boasts a total of 27 members. The by-laws of the student chapter are patterned after those ot the Utah Section, with emphasis on stimulating student interest and activity which will strengthen, improve, and perpetuate the profession of range management. Meetings are held the first Thursday of each month. At these meetings a guest speaker is invited in to speak on some phase of range management. Some of the outstanding programs this past year have been on range reseeding by A. C• Hull and opportunities in the Bureau of Land Management by J. R. Penny. Amongother activities the chapter has undertaken two worthwhile projects the past year. One was selectiaJ of the top rancher of the year, and the other that of soliciting financial support for the pl ant judging team. In January nine members of the group attended the annual convention of the American Society of Range Management in Phoenix, Arizona. At the meeting, Don Nebeker, Dick Page, Dennis Jensen, and Garth Baxter took part in the plant judging contest, which is an annual affair sponsored by the American Society of Range Management. 86

IN MEMORIAM
Lee Thomson Can I describe my thoughts or create words that will express my t~oughts when an untimely event such as this arises ? As I reminisce the past few years of our college career I could draft a list of organizations or activities in which Lee participated. I could also list numerous occasions in which Lee was the center of attraction. But does this describe a top hand like Lee ? My sincere feelings are conveyed when I say-Lee was my buddy.

WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT Progress in the Wildlife Management Department this last year has been highly satisfactory. We reached an all-ti high in enrollment, with 131 undergraduates, 21 M.S. candidates, and 9 Ph.D. candidates. Last year, 17 men received Bachelor of Science degrees and 4 men received M. S. degrees. The total degrees granted in Wildlife Management is 293. Research continues on farmer-sports relations, waterfowl, upland game, basic productivity of trout streams, and fish toxicology. Basic research in fish physiology has been greatly increased through substantial grants from the National Institutes of Health. The students who have participated most actively in this program have been William McConnell, William Clark, and John Neuhold. Other research assistance has been receivâ&#x20AC;˘ from the Utah Fish and Game Department, the U. S.
