QUARTERLY BULLETIN 



5. The State School of Forestry will furnish the services above speci- 

 fied without charge, except as follows: 



A. Actual cost of transportation of seeds, seedlings, or trees must 

 be paid by the landowner wishing to plant a plantation or shelterbelt. 



B. Wages and expenses of such assistants as may be desired to assist 

 in the planting of the seeds, seedlings, or trees, must be paid by the land- 

 owner. 



6. The State School of Forestry will furnish no trees for planting on 

 town, or village lots. No trees will be given to settlers already protected 

 by bluffs or bodies of natural timber, or in cases where a good supply of 

 natural timber is in the immediate neighborhood where seed and seedling 

 trees of native varieties can be obtained with little difficulty. 



No trees will be given for ornamental planting only. Any trees sent 

 out by the State School of Forestry must be set out, either as a windbreak, 

 shelterbelt, or forest plantation for raising fuel, fencing material, etc. 



Fruit trees and ornamental shrubs can not be distributed at the present 

 time, but it is hoped that this can be done in the near future. 



7. It will be observed that this plan is distinctly co-operative in char- 

 acter. The State School of Forestry furnishes expert advice and sees to 

 the carrying out of the terms of agreement, and in addition to this assists 

 the owner of the land by supplying him with seeds, cuttings, or young trees ; 

 while, on the other hand, the owner is required permanently to set apart a 

 small portion of his land for tree growth and to do all the actual work 

 of preparation and cultivation of the land so set apart, to plant the seed, 

 cuttings, or trees and to take proper care of the young growth after planting 

 according to the directions of the State Forester. 



8. Although the State School of Forestry desires to meet the wishes 

 of the landowners as far as possible, it must be understood that, owing to 

 the difficulty sometimes experienced in obtaining seeds or other plant ma- 

 terial, the State School of Forestry will not guarantee to furnish any 

 specific quantity, and as in many localities young trees and cuttings can 

 be obtained from natural woods in the vicinity, it is advisable for those 

 contemplating planting to supply themselves in this way as far as possible. 



9. Institutions or landowners desiring the assistance of the State School 

 of Forestry, as above outlined, for securing seeds, cuttings, or young trees 

 for planting plantations or shelterbelts, should apply to Fred W. Smith, 

 State Forester, State School of Forestry, Bottineau, North Dakota, before 

 the first day of March, in the year previous to the one in which the planting 

 is to be done, i. e., applications for planting in the spring of 1915 must be 

 filed at Bottineau before the first day of March, 1914, and so on, so as 

 to enable the State School of Forestry to provide ahead for the supply of 

 nursery stock for spring planting and to allow time for the State Forester to
