The planting plans of the past year, like those prepared before, are 

 mostlj'' for farm woodlots of not more than 10 to 20 acres. There 

 have, however, been numerous exceptions. One of the plans was for 

 the Presidio Military Reservation, in the city of San Francisco, Cal. 

 This reservation consists of 1,800 acres, 400 acres of which were 

 planted in timber between the years of 1888 and 1895. The growth of 

 the planted trees has been vigorous, and the stand has become very 

 dense. Recommendations were made for thinning the present stand 

 of timber and for planting an additional area of 108.7 acres. An 

 appropriation of money by the War Department has already been 

 made for this work, which is now in progress. Both thinning and 

 planting should be completed within the next two years. 



In May, 1902, Governor White, of North Dakota, made application 

 for the assistance of this Bureau in the preparation of planting plans 

 for the grounds of several of the State institutions. The plans have 

 been made during the past year. The plantations provided for in 

 the plans made will furnish examples of protective shelter belts such 

 as are necessary in the Northwestern plains. The plans have been 

 accepted by Governor White and transmitted by him to the various 

 institutions concerned. The planting under them should begin next 

 spring. 



In the spring of 1902 the Fort Worth and Denver City Railroad 

 made application to the Bureau of Forestry for its assistance in the 

 encouragement of forest planting by farmers in the prairie region of 

 Texas through which the road extends. An examination of the land 

 lying contiguous to the railroad between Fort Worth and Texline, 

 Tex., was made by the Bureau of Forestry, and conferences on forest
