The annual capacity of the forest nurseries of the 



government is about 25 million young trees. 



Cornell University recently dedicated a forestry 

 building in connection with the state college of agriculture. 



It is said that the best times of day to see forest 

 fires from lookout stations are just after daylight and just 

 before sunset. 



The forest service has been requested to cooperate 

 with the port authorities of Coo's Bay/ Washington, in plant- 

 ing to control shifting sand dunes. 



Jack pine trees planted ten years ago in the sand 

 hills of Nebraska are now large enough to produce fence 

 posts. Last year the first seed was gathered from this 

 plantation. 



The agricultural experiment station at Pullman, 

 Washington, is establishing an arboretum in which it is 

 proposed to grow a group of each of the important timber 

 trees of the temperate zone.
