Teachers to Cooperate With Forest
Service In Tree Study.

Teachers throughout the country have
been invited by the United States For
ester to cooperate with the Forest Service
in an effort to obtain more definite know
| ledge of the characteristics of the most
important forest trees of the United
Estates. To do thisit will be necessary to
lobtain large number of volunteer OBJ
servers who will collect material on the
time of leaving, blossoming, and fruiting
of the various kinds of forest trees. In his
letter inviting the cooperation of the
teachers, Forester Pinchot says:
/ knowledge of this kind is greatly
needed and will be of value from the
standpoint both of education and of
practical forestry. For educational purs
poses the results obtained for each
species, averaged and presented graph
icaliy by means of colored charts, will
be available to all who are interested in
the subjectj and particular to schools.
They will form virtual tree calendars,p
and will be valuable aids to nature study.
children can readily be interested in
the actual work of obtaining records.
This should form an attractive outdoor
feature of the school work that should
serve to develop the faculty of accurate
obseryationj and at the same time to pro-
mote an interest In forestry which may
lead to better appreciation of its aims
and methods. 1t may also prove to be
profitable addition to botany courses for
older students.
IA study of this kind will be Of great
value to practical forestry, since the
proper treatment Of forests depends |
partly upon knowledge of these char
acteristics of trees. For example, the
time of year at which time tree leafs
out and blossoms is one ofthe indications
as to whether or not it is frost-hardy in
a given region, and the length of time
that tree is in leafinfluences the growth
it is able to make during the season.
knowledge of the time when SEEDS Of
each species ripen in various localities
is of great value to those who are col
lecting seed, since seed often deteri.
crates or is eaten by squirrels and birds
if not gathered and stored as soon as
ripe.
Another result of this study will be
a more intimate knowledge of climate
as ma ifested by plant growth for
differences in climate are shown by
plant life as we'll as by instruments, and
a preliminary idea can thus be gained
as to whether given region is suited to
a valuable tree which it is desired to in
troduce there. Many such examples
could be given but sufficient has been
said to show that the results of these OBJ
seryations will be real help to practical
forestry, in addition to their general in
terest and educationsl value. Volunteers
will later be supplied with publications
and charts containing the information
they help to gather az return for the
services rendered"
On request, the Forest Service will be
glad to send forms upon which to record
data and pamphlet containing full in
structions as to the nature of the OBJ
and how they are to be made.
