State co-operation with the

seems to be an assured success, if the
action of the governors thus far can
be taken as an example of what is to
follow. Both the commission and the
White House are greatly encoura?ed
at the responses of the governors who

the appointment of state commis
sioners and active co-operation with
tho national body.
Within loss than thirty days after
the appointment of the national
conservation commissions, four
governors had advised the president
of similar state action by themselves.
Governor Folk, of Missouri, who
announced at the White House con
ference his intention of naming a
commission to deal with the natural
resources of his state, has carried out
his intention ana Missourrs com
mission is soon expected to be at
work.
Montana and Oregon were among
the first of the state in the field with
conservation commissions. Under
date of June 15, Governor Edwin L.
Norris, of Montana, wrote the presi
dent that he had appointed a com
mission "to suggest to our next
legislative assembly proper ways and
means to conserve and protect the
forests of Montana, and I anticipate
that the commission so appointed by
me will make valuable recommenda
tions." ??!
On June 19, Governor George B.
Chamberlain, of Oregon, notified the
president that he had already appoint
ed "a committee on plans and pro
gram for the movement of the con
servation 1 of resources, and that
this commission is to be enlarged and
will act in co-operation with the
national commission."
