 through reforestation and afforestation in the various States and Ter- 

 ritories, the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized in cooperation 

 with the land-grant colleges and universities and State forestry 

 agencies, each within its respective field of activities, according to the

 and will cooperate, or in default of such cooperation to act directly, 

 to produce or procure and distribute forest trees and shrub planting 

 stock ; to make necessary investigations ; to advise farmers regarding 

 the establishment, protection, and management of farm forests and 

 forest and shrub plantations and the harvesting, utilization, and mar- 

 keting of the products thereof; and to enter into cooperative agree- 

 ments for the establishment, protection, and care of farm- or other 

 forest-land tree and shrub plantings within such States and Terri- 

 tories ; and, whenever suitable Government-owned lands are not avail- 

 able, to lease, purchase, or accept donations of land and develop nur- 

 sery sites for the production of such forest planting stock as is needed 

 to effectuate the purposes of this Act, but not including ornamental 

 or other stock for landscape plantings commonly grown by estab- 

 lished commercial nurserymen, and no stock grown in Government 

 and cooperating nurseries shall be allowed to enter regular trade 

 channels. No cooperative reforestation or afforestation shall be 

 undertaken pursuant to this Act unless the cooperator makes avail- 

 able without charge the land to be planted. There is hereby author- 

 ized to be appropriated annually not to exceed $2,500,000 for carrying 

 out the purposes of this Act. This Act shall be known as the Coop-
