1911 SUMMER TERM. 



The third session of the summer term, June 21st to August 10th is 

 now being held on the estate of David Ward, Deward, Crawford county, 

 Michigan. The field conditions are ideal. Camp is located adjacent 

 to practical logging operations on a tract of virgin forest of 80,000 

 acres. Here it is possible to carry out the practical work which is so 

 essential in the education of the forester. 



The four courses as set forth in the 1910-11 college catalogue are 

 being offered. Twenty-four students are in attendance. 



It is recommended that next year's summer term be held for a period 

 of eight weeks instead of seven as this year. 



The department is keenly appreciative of the courtesy and kindness 

 of Mr. W. C. Ward of Orchard Lake, Michigan, in permitting the use of 

 the holdings of the estate as a field laboratory for forestry work. 



The yearly field work in lumbering was not carried out as planned 

 because of smallpox prevalent in the lumber camps during December. 



FOREST EXTENSION WORK. 



Owing to the lack of the services of a field man, properly qualified, 

 in the department, no examinations of wood lots have been made. The 

 teaching work has taken the entire time of the regular instructors. The 

 inquiries from woodlot owners and others interested along forestry 

 lines, have been more numerous than ever before. These inquiries have 

 received the attention of the department. 



A circular letter was issued during the early spring, ofl'ering the fol- 

 lowing tree stock at the prices quoted:
