Seed collecting camp in a Rocky Mountain national forest. Note the sacks of cones, 

 and the cones spread on canvas sheets to dry 



Planting- western yellow pine in Pike National Forest. Pike's Peak (14,000 feet high) 

 commands watersheds of great economic importance. Some fifty years ago, in the da3's of 

 the early white settlers of the region, 10,000 acres of the forest cover were wholly destroyed 

 by fire. The Forest Service is now reforesting the watersheds that supply water to 

 Colorado Springs, Colorado City and other important districts
