TREES WILL Be
GIVEN AWAY

Forest Nurseryman Haughs, of the
Bureau of Forestry, has prepared list
of the trees which will be ready for
the Arbor Day ceremonies. 1t is the
desire of the bureau to supply trees
to all who are willing to plant them,
and for months past the attaches of
the various nurseries and subnurseries
have been devoting their attention to
the matter.
The planting this year will be on a
much larger scale than any preceding
year and thousands of young trees will
be given away. AS far as possible, the
officials of the forestry bureau will
supply trees particularly suited to the
conditions existing in the districts
where they are to be planted.
The Forest Nurseryman has prepar.
ed, and submitted to the Board of
Agriculture and Forestry, the follow
ing report concerning trees that will
be available for Arbor Day distribu-
