Besides paying for the gathering and shipping of the seeds, the Ice landic foresters have sent seeds oi Icelandic birch, the only tree which grows in forests on the North At lantic island.
 Those seeds are being tried out in Alaska at the present time there are no reports on the success of the attempt to plant Iceiandie trees in Alaska
 TREES DOING WELL
 But the Alaska trees in Iceland are doing very well. In letter to B. Frank Heintzelman, Regional Forester here, Bjarnason said he wished the people in Alaska whc gathered the seeds could see the results of the planting.
 He found that cottonwood trees grow faster than anything I've ever seen"
 Although Mountain Hemlock is not highly regarded in the United States, Bjarnason wrote that he figured to use it "on higher eleva- tions in the southern part of Ice land and in the northern part
 And the number of Alaskan trees in Iceland is increasing each year
 Millions of seedlings, hundreds oi thousands of three and four-year- old trees and several thousand olt,el trees" are brightening the Ice landic landscape.

COOPERATION E
 MAKING ICELAND'5
 MOUNTAINS GREEN

The results of international CO., operation may soon cover bleak Ice landic mountains and make them green again tsf
 The story of the cooperation be- gan in 1885. Hakon Bjarnason, Chief Forester of Iceland, wrote the Forest Service here. He said he was interested in Alaska because his grandfather had been member of a party of Icelanders sent to Alaska by President Grant to see if the country were suitable for the estab- lishment of an Icelandic commun- ity
 Furthermore, as head of Icelands $ Forest Service, Bjarnason said he himself had seen what good Alaska might do for Iceland He had ob- tained seeds of Sitka Spruce from Norway where the trees were being grown, and the spruce were doing well in Icelandic tree nurseries He requested the Forest Service to send more Alaska seeds.
 SEEDS SHIPPED
 The first seeds were shipped that fall: Sitka Spruce, western and Mountain Hemlock, Black Cotton wood and White Spruce seeds.
 Those seeds proved themselves in the Icelandic tree nurseries, and more requests followed. In 1941, 54 pounds of seeds were sent; 80 pounds of seeds were sent the fol- lowing year; and seeds continued to be sent east from Alaska each year. Record shipment was in 1948 when 272 pounds were shipped out of Cordova. sf5 2
 And this year Ray Taylor, Forester in Charge of forest research here, is packaging more seeds for the journey to Iceland.
