COOPERATION. 35 



Reports upon cooperative studies with private owners will be pre-, 

 pared in accordance with the * 'Outline for examination 

 of private forest lands." Reports on the practice of 

 forestry on private lands will be made on Form 216. 



Since extra copies of reports upon cooperative studies are often 

 needed to meet requests for advice, at least two extra copies of each 

 report will be filed with the correspondence in the case folder. 



A card Index will be kept in which applications for cooperation in- 

 volving field studies will be filed alphabetically by name of applicant 

 and location, and subsequent steps recorded. 



COOPERATIVE PLANTING. 



Assistance in forest planting will be furnished under the terms of 

 Circular 165. Applications will, so far as possible, 

 be satisfied by letters of advice, transmitting suitable 

 planting circulars and lists of dealers. 



Where a cooperative study is advisable, the applicant will be fur- 

 nished with Form 728 and form 861 filled out to accompany his de- 

 posit. Planting plans based on field study will be prepared in accord- 

 ance with the instructions in "Planting plan studies and reports." 

 One copy will be sent to the cooperator and at least two extra copies 

 kept in the case folder. Studies of established plantations will be 

 reported hi accordance with the instructions in tne "Plan for study 

 of forest plantations." 



Cooperation in planting with other branches of the Fed- 

 eral Government or with States will follow the 

 ^Departmental and routine prescribed for State and departmental coop- 

 eration. 



The Forest Service will in special cases furnish stock, particu- 

 larly for planting on important watersheds within 

 National Forests, but only for purely experimental 

 planting. Annual reports of results will be required. 



A reminder card record will be kept of all correspondents who plan 

 to do commercial planting, in order that cards (Form 891) may be 

 sent them later for reports on the results obtained. When correspond- 

 ence indicates that planting has already been done such cards will be 

 sent at once. When returned they will be filed under the States in 

 which the plantation is located, alphabetically by species and the 

 names of the cooperators.
