PROFESSOR ITARSHBERGER, of Pennsylvania: I beli(!ve 

 we have a time limit of half past eleven, and it is now within an 

 hour of that time, so I believe we are obliged to have these re- 

 ports within the next hour.

 limit the reports to say eight minntes, except )»y nnaiiimons con- 

 sent for more time? 



PROFESSOR HARSH i:i:ii(;ER: I wonld imagine so; eight 

 minutes with two minnles leeway, making it ten minutes in all. 

 I make that motion: lliat the papers be limited to eight minutes, 

 with (avo minntes alloAvance.

THE CHAIRMAN: The motion prevails. It can, of conrse, 

 be excepted to under unanimous consent, is (he Stale l-'oresler 

 or a represental ive prepared to repoil for .Maine? (No re- 

 sponse). New Hampshire? (No response). ]Massaclinsetts? 



PROFESSOR RANE; Is the idea of this report to give some- 

 thing along the line of work being done in the State 



THE CHAIRMAN: The (Mmir will read the subject as stated 

 on the progrannne: "Reports of State Foresters or other officials 

 on the present extent of the bark disease; an estimate of the 

 presold and possible future losses." In answering Professor 

 Pane's (]uestion, il wonld seem desirabh; to the Chair to discuss 

 this subject from the standpoint of his own State, if that answers 

 your (pu^stion.
