CHAIRMAN PUBLICITY COMMITTEE..... ...J. S. HOLMES, State Forester CHAIRMAN LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE. CHAPEL HILL, N. C. A. B. HASTINGS, Assistant State Forester CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE-The above officers, together with all former Presidents of the Congress, constitute the Executive Committee. THE FORMER PRESIDENTS ARE: Elected COL. JOSEPH HYDE PRATT, Chapel Hill, N. C....................................... 1916 1920 MR. ROY L. HOGUE, Jackson, Miss........ 1921 MR. W. D. TYLER, Dante, Va.... 1922 EDITOR'S NOTE In view of the delay of twelve months in getting these proceedings published, and because it is necessary to keep the cost of publication within the means of the Congress, it has been decided by the Executive Committee to publish only such part of the proceedings of this Congress as relate to the Naval Stores Industry. This seems most appropriate, not only because Savannah, where the Congress met, is in the heart of the country where this industry has been flourishing for the past fifty years, but even more because the Naval Stores operators attended the Congress in such numbers and contributed in such large part to the success of the meeting. Not only, therefore, have a number of very interesting and valuable papers contributed by the speakers named on the program been omitted, but a considerable part of the discussion as taken by the stenographer has been cut out. The Editor and the Executive Committee of the Congress herewith desire to extend their apologies for taking this liberty with the Proceedings. March 15, 1925. J. S. HOLMES, Editor |
