nursery work, the planting, the construction of fire lanes, the re- 

 moval of dead and down timber, the building of roads, all 

 would be done by intelligent men with their whole interest in the 

 work and always directly under the best siipervision. All through 

 the danger season there would be an adequate force of men trained 

 in the art of fire-fighting at hand ready to answer the alarm at a 

 moment's notice. There would be a continuous patrol of the 

 whole reserve, making extensive damage from fire impossible. All 

 labor done in this way would be of the cheapest in the end.

 next few years for planting on this and other forest reserves in 

 the state. A large nursery for forest trees would be desirable in 

 connection with the forest demonstration and school features. 

 Such a nursery might supply seedlings to forest planters at cost.
