It has been the aim of the State Forester not only to demon- 

 strate in the nursery what can be done, bnt to assist those inter- 

 ested in growing- their own trees by sending literature describ- 

 ing how to collect the seed, and even furnishing an assistant to 

 demonstrate how to make the seed beds and plant the seeds. 

 During the planting season at the nursery we are glad to wel- 

 come any one desiring experience in nursery work. This offers 

 an opportunity not only to see how the work is performed, but 

 to get some actual experience. Last spring several persons 

 availed themselves of this offer.
