| Gently sent in a report regarding expert
ments to determine the advsability OF

| first work of this kind in this region was
| done last spring. About thirty acres were
| sown broadcast to western yellow pine anC
| eight acres put in with corn planter
| The seeds terminated promptly las
spring, and this recent report indicates
