20 Forest Club Annual 



Another part of this work will be the keeping of careful 

 observations as to the growth of the seedlings obtained from 

 different classes of seed, to show for example, whether or not 

 the sample of seed which gave the highest quality of germination 

 will produce seedlings of the greatest growth. A number of 

 the seedlings of the species suited to the Nebraska conditions 

 will be used in experimental plantations established in various 

 parts of the state, where the subsequent growth may be ob- 

 served. This line of work will be conducted along lines of in- 

 vestigation which have been started at the Experiment Station 

 in determining the effect of spacing, site, adaptability of species 

 and similar questions affecting forest plantations. 



There has long been a need for better scientific data along 

 these lines and the aim of the present investigation is to supply 

 this in part. The work must progress slowly because of the 

 large number of experiments which may be solved and the lack 

 of funds to establish the work on a larger basis. The advan- 

 tages of continuous work throughout the year followed by the 

 planting of many of the seedlings in plantations are readily 

 apparent and should give excellent results.
