Department of Agriculture. The state is also indebted to Director A. F. 
Woods of the Exjierinient Station, who has done all that he could to 
urge the work to a successful end. To Dr. Freeman’s council and 
advice as Plant Pathologist, we are also much indebted. A large part 
of the satisfaction felt at the end of the season has been due to the 
untiring efforts and interest shown on the part of George W. Peake, 
Deputy Nursery Inspector, who has not spared himself in directive 
work in the field. The specialists taking part in survey and eradica- 
tion work have been mentioned in other jiarts of this report. We are 
]iarticularly indebted to the Appraisement Committee, Messrs, Cady 
and Andrews, wdiose task has not been an easy one, Mr. Grover Con- 
zet, formerly with the Minnesota Forest Service, has estimated for us 
the market value of the white pines at Dry Creek, and the Forest Ser- 
vice has borne a small share of the expense. The original drawing in 
this report was made by Miss Helen A. Sanborn.
