The collection of seed for nursery use is part of the regular work in each 
district. It is concentrated on areas where seed of the species and locality 
desired, can be gathered at the lowest cost. Extensive collection is not 
attempted in seasons when the cost is likely to be excessive on account of poor 
crops.

All planting operations are “ closely studied by district and forest officers 
to ascertain the reasons for success or failure, and enable the experience 
gained to be intelligently applied.” Detailed periodic inspecticns and sample 
plot measurements are made and their findings reported.
