For a number of years the Department of Forestry has been planting black cherry trees on the State Forests. This spring (1916) between and black cherry trees were distributed as widely as possible over the State, to be planted in places where food was needed for the birds. Of the trees were distributed in 200 lots to fifteen game wardens, and were planted by them in places where they could be cared for, and the birds allowed to feed on their fruit in safety. Several hundred cuttings were made from a sweet mulberry grow ing on the property of Hon. I. C. Williams, Deputy Commissioner of Forestry. These cuttings have been distributed among the nursery men of the Department, and will be set in the forest nurseries and al lowed to multiply, so that in a few years a number will be available for distribution every year.
