  REFORESTING 
  

  

  This 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  departmental 
  work 
  has 
  grown 
  so 
  rapidly 
  

   and 
  reached 
  such 
  large 
  proportions 
  that 
  it 
  requires 
  the 
  entire 
  time 
  

   of 
  at 
  least 
  one 
  of 
  our 
  foresters. 
  The 
  five 
  nurseries 
  operated 
  last 
  

   year 
  have 
  been 
  continued 
  and 
  two 
  of 
  them 
  have 
  been 
  enlarged. 
  

   Another 
  nursery 
  should 
  be 
  established 
  in 
  the 
  eastern 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  

   State. 
  

  

  Tree 
  Distribution 
  

  

  The 
  demand 
  for 
  information 
  and 
  trees 
  for 
  plantations 
  by 
  

   private 
  owners 
  increases. 
  The 
  demand 
  for 
  white 
  pine 
  transplants 
  

   last 
  spring 
  was 
  nearly 
  nine 
  times 
  the 
  supply. 
  The 
  actual 
  supply 
  

   and

  All 
  of 
  the 
  trees 
  produced 
  in 
  the 
  nurseries 
  were 
  sold 
  to 
  private 
  

   owners 
  for 
  reforesting 
  purposes 
  except, 
  forty-four 
  thousand 
  Scotch 
  

   pine 
  and 
  bull 
  pine 
  transplants 
  which 
  were 
  set 
  in 
  the 
  Lake 
  Clear 
  

   plantation. 
  If 
  the 
  supply 
  had 
  permitted, 
  at 
  least 
  one-half 
  million 
  

   more 
  trees 
  could 
  have 
  been 
  sold 
  and 
  planted. 
  In 
  some 
  cases 
  single 
  

   orders 
  of 
  100,000 
  white 
  pine 
  transplants 
  were 
  received. 
  It 
  was 
  

   necessary 
  to 
  grant 
  the 
  applications 
  on 
  a 
  pro 
  rata 
  basis 
  except 
  that
