A Serious Blunder.

A very grave blunder has been made
with reference to the distribution OF trees
from our forestry station this spring. We
don't know who is to blame and therefore
will not censure anybody at this time.
But the fact remains that somebody has
failed IN his duty. We are informed in
very roundabout way that there will be
no distribution of trees this spring. AS
to the correctness of this information there
can be no doubt. At the same time we
are informed that those who wish trees
can have them if they will go to the for
estry and take them out. We know of
several from this county who have taken
advantage of this offer and procured
a great many, while others and particu-
larly those in other counties have receiv-
ed none. 1t is not convenient to drive a
hundred miles for trees, besides they
were not informed of the facts. They re-
lied upon getting their trees at the for
estry and made no effort, in consequence,
to get them elsewhere and, in many in
stances, will be compelled to do without.
