Under expenses for forest improvements the principal items 

 are for seeding and planting; in 1910 these were carried out on a 

 total area of 6,668| acres, of which 287^ were seeded and 6,381^ 

 planted. The costs per acre were : 



The highest cost of regeneration (including general expenses) 

 is again from the Tharandt reserve ; the highest cost for seeding 

 is, however, from the district of Barenfels, vis. $14.03; and the 

 highest cost of planting is from the forest district of Auerbach, 

 inz. $12.41 ; this district also had the highest total cost without 

 general expenses, vis. $12.39. It is thus seen that the general 

 expenses are responsible for the high figure from Tharandt. The 

 lowest total cost, including general expenses, is from the district 

 of Dresden, and occurs with the lowest cost of seeding and plant- 

 ing respectively and together. 



The highest cost per acre for conifers is $20.17, occurring with 

 the highest cost per 100 trees in the plantations, zns. 73 cents. 

 The lowest cost per acre is $4.52, occurring with the lowest per 

 100 trees vis. 16 cents.

Those who desire to travel in Germany for 



German purposes of study will find much suggestive 



Forest discussion in the notes by Dr. Heck, an 



Studies. experienced forester, made on his own 



journeys. Seven years ago he recorded 



his observations on southern Germany. (See F. Q., vol. Ill, 



p. 302.) The present series concerns itself with north-east 



Germany, and is as rich in suggestiveness as the former series.
