Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Forest Worker, Vol. 4: September, 1928
In addition small nurseries have been established in five communes on a cooperative basis, the commune usually bearing 25 per cent of the expense. These communal nurseries have certain advantages. They grow the species wanted in the commune; the stock is acclimated and it is taken from the nursery and planted the same day, giving in some instances 100 per cent survival. They help the work of the forestry service by presenting it to local people in the light of an active agent of agricultural betterment. They arouse a special interest in reforestation in the local overseer who becomes an active worker in his community. They are also valuable as object lessons to the young people and are visited by the pupils of the schools. There are also in the department 12 school nurseries.
