This publication furnishes information that should be useful to 4— H Club 

 leaders and members and other young people. It is intended to supplement 

 subject-matter material published by the various States and other agencies. The 

 text emphasizes getting acquainted with forest trees and forest stands and learn- 

 ing their different values to their owners and their place in the economy of the 

 farm and the community. Practical phases ot managing the farm home wood- 

 lands properly are also given important consideration. The topic outlines should 

 serve as a guide and an aid in working out club projects, programs, and demon- 

 strations that will have real educational value and also prove financially profit- 

 able to many young people on farms. 



This publication supersedes U. S. Department ot Agriculture Bulletin No. 863,
