 belief that funds should be provided for thorough investigation into 

 silvicultural methods and that this work should be carried on by the

 State, and this work can best be carried on in co-operation with the 

 farm bureau agents. 



It is my firm belief that the State should make a suitable appropria- 

 tion for the employment of ten competent foresters to work through 

 the State upon the line of the farm bureau agents, and these men 

 could study the conditions, give advice, and work on marketing prob- 

 lems and other matters of this kind.
