120 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



SEED COLLECTING 



The work of extracting the red pine harvest of 1923 continued until April 

 of this year. The method of extracting and cleaning was the same as that fol- 

 lowed for the harvest of 1922. The new building and enlarged equipment was, 

 however, a big improvement on former years and indicated what a plant of this 

 size can be expected to turn out.

 gathered, as follows:

During the autumn of 1924 a drying shed was erected at Angus. This con- 

 sists of a three and a half storey frame building, 30x45 feet. A hand-power hoist 

 was installed at the front end for lifting cones from the loading platform to the 

 three floors above. At the top floor the drying shed is connected with the ex- 

 tracting building by means of an overhead trestle over which cones are carried 

 by means of hand car.
