526 Forestry Quarterly. 



The question of proper seed supply has become so important 

 in Germany that the Forestry Council has instituted a standing 

 commission to work out and supervise regulations for this pur- 

 pose. Such have been formulated and approved. Seven firms 

 and all the seed establishments of the Mark Brandenburg and 

 others have obligated themselves to furnish only German pine 

 seed. The necessary precautions to insure this by way of inspec- 

 tion of books, establishments, freight receipts, etc., have been 

 organized. A fine up to $1,200 and loss of membership to this 

 association of seed dealers formed and maintained through the 

 Forestry Council is provided for breach of conditions.
