STATE NURSERY 139 Limited quan- tities of Scotch Pine and Mungo Pine are also on hand for next spring delivery and a number of excellent young poplars, grown from cuttings, and now from 6 to 12 feet high. Orders this year exceeded the supply, which, owing to the few students i n attendance during the years of the war, and to the impossi- bility of securing local labor, was not as large as it would have been under normal conditions. The space al- lotted for this work is, how- , - ever, too small, and there is no room for expansion on the Campus. It is greatly to be hoped that sufficient funds will be provided for starting another and larger nursery, preferably in the southern part of the State, in addition to and in cooperation with the State Forest Nursery at Orono. Our nursery here is of vital importance to the work, as it is the laboratory for the students of forestry, in which they acquire first- hand knowledge of nursery practice, and it is also valuable for experimental purposes: but it is not large enough to meet the de- mands now coming in from all parts of the State for forest plant- ing stock. Either temporary subsidies should be provided for. Growth of Young Spruce and Fir in Old Logging Road.
