Experiments have been carried on which have shown the advantages of new feeding and herding methods.

The ranchers have banded together in livestock associations, which cooeperate with the Forest Service in managing the forest ranges.
It costs about $5 to sow one acre of ground to tree seed, and approximately $10 an acre to set out seedling trees.

The seed is obtained from the same locality where it is to be planted.

In many instances, cones are purchased from settlers who make a business of gathering them.

The Federal foresters dry these cones in the sun and thresh out the seed, which they then fan and clean.
