Routine JVork. 



During October the usual routine work of the Division of 

 Forestry has gone steadily on. A detailed account of it is given 

 in the report of the Forest Nurseryman, which is transmitted 

 herewith. Not a little attention this past month has been given 

 to preparing for the free distribution of trees on Arbor Day. By 

 proclamation of the Acting- Governor, Friday, November 14, has 

 been designated this year as the day so to be observed. As usual 

 any person desiring to plant trees may, on condition that he will 

 agree to care for them, have 24 seedlings, free, on Arbor Day. 



Very respectfully, 



Ralph S. Hosmer, 

 Superintendent of Forestry.
