By a co-operative agreement with the Bureau of Plant Indus- 

 try, this office is now prepared to furnish advice on the handling 

 of chestnut wood lots in which the disease is present or threat- 

 ening, without making a charge for the expenses of the exam- 

 iner, as has previously been necessary. Blank applications for 

 such examinations may be obtained from this office.
