material used in export manufactures, such as cabinet making and 

 other industries working for export trade. 



About 1,400 sawmills and 150 wood working plants furnish the 

 export material. The largest item is supplied by the sawmills in 

 the form of pine and spruce lumber, boards, planks, and deals, 

 altogether about 158,000,000 cubic feet annually. About 12 per 

 cent, of this is planed, chiefly spruce. 



The national forests of Sweden are divided into 10 inspection 

 districts and 90 "Revir." The government officers in charge of 

 the latter are called "Jaegmastare", the inspection officers 

 "Overjaegmastare". The central office is the royal domain 

 administration department with a general director, at present a 

 forester, at its head ; General Direktor Fredenberg. Four chiefs 

 of bureau work on the forestry affair. 



The private forests, especially the corporation forests are 

 managed by technical men. Some of these have previously held 

 offices in the Government Forest Service and still retain their 

 title "Jagmastare," or else they have received their training in a 

 special course in the Government Forestry Institute at Stock- 

 holm which does not make them eligible for government work 

 but gives them the title of "Forstineister". The institute at 

 Stockholm turns out the higher forestry officials of Sweden. The 

 students previously attend either the forestry school at Omberg or 

 at Kloten. A considerable part of the training is given along 

 practical lines in the forest under the supervision of an instructor, 

 during the summer months usually on some suitable National 

 Forest. 



The Government Forest Experiment Station, located at Stock- 

 holm consists of a forestry branch and a botanical-biological 

 branch. Jagmastare Schotte is in charge of the forestry branch, 

 and Dr. Hesselman of the botanical branch. 



The experimental areas are distributed all over the country and 

 are located in government and non-government forests as well.*
