such seeds), or (8) cutting, destroying, or otherwise removing unde- 
sirable trees or other growth, on the national-forest land cut over by 
the purchaser, in order to improve the future stand of timber: P7ro-

chaser shall not exceed, on an acreage basis, the average cost of plant- 
ing (including the production or purchase of young trees) other com- 
parable national-forest lands during the previous three years. Such 
deposits shall be covered into the Treasury and shall constitute a 
special fund, which is hereby appropriated and made available until 
expended, to cover the cost to the United States of such tree planting, 
seed sowing, and forest-improvement work, as the Secretary of Agri- 
culture may direct: Provided, That any portion of any deposit found 
to be in excess of the cost of doing said work shall, upon the deter- 
mination that it is so in excess, be transferred to miscellaneous 
receipts, forest reserve fund. as a national-forest receipt of the fiscal 
year in which such transfer is made: Provided further, That the 
Secretary of Agriculture is authorized, upon application of the Sec- 
retary of the Interior, to furnish seedlings and/or young trees for
