vated and cared for. That is a very fair record for 

 amateur planters in the prairie sections. 



Of course it is very probable that many of the 

 fifty per cent who did not report took less interest 

 in the work , and had a poorer showing. Some of 

 them probably failed to report through procrastina- 

 tion; some of them may have wanted to avoid re- 

 porting a failure. 



But even at that the results are good. Even if 

 the other fifty per cent were all failures those child- 

 ren have all learned a valuable lesson and it is safe 

 to say that every pupil who took these trees has had 

 his or her for many of them were girls interest in 

 tree planting stimulated and will not lose it for many 

 years to come. 



In the light of these results it is probable that the 

 experiment will be repeated in some other counties 

 this spring.
