Visitors. 



The value of the experimental station as an object lesson in 

 growing forest trees is becoming more apparent each year. A 

 majority of the visitors come as students of their special forestry 

 problems and spend as many as three days in studying the sev- 

 eral forest tracts. Persons who visit the reserve through curiosity 

 are becoming fewer each year. 



During the year 410 visitors registered at the headquarters, 

 and many visited the reserve who did not register. The number 

 of the visitors by States is as follows: Indiana, 370; Kentucky, 

 20 ; Oklahoma, 5 ; Minnesota, 4 ; Kansas, 3 ; Michigan, 2 ; Cali- 

 fornia, Iowa, Louisiana, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Washington,
