It will be noted that this application is a contract made with 

 this Commission. The first clause calls for payment within ten days 

 after the trees are granted. This gives us the opportunity to resell 

 any trees that the applicants do not pay for within that time. The 

 second clause is necessary because the law under which this work 

 is done requires that the trees shall be used for reforesting purposes. 

 No trees will be sold for ornamental planting. The third clause 

 prevents speculation and the interference with our work. The 

 fourth clause simply means that applicants should follow the 

 directions given in this pamphlet in regard to planting. The fifth 

 clause asks that reports stating the condition of the plantation be 

 made to this office, such information being desirable in order to 

 secure data in regard to the work for the benefit of others. 



What and Where to Plant. 



The soil where the planting is to be done will, in a measure, 

 determine what kind of trees should be used. The growth already 

 on the land w r here the planting is to be done indicates the age or 

 size of the stock to be used. 



Relation of Species and Soils. No complete directions covering 

 such a large subject can be given in any small pamphlet, and in 

 some cases examination of the land would be desirable before 

 giving advice. There are, however, a few points that can be dis- 

 cussed generally here.
