Excerpt from The Fores Tree Planter's Manual Dear 'sir: -the legislative act Of 1893, basing support for the State For estry Association, requires an annual report of its doings, together with such other information as it may deem necessary to further advance the interests of forestry. The Minnesota Board of World's Fair Commissioners liberally provided for an exhibit of our woods at the Columbian Exposition of 1893, in Chicago, Ill., and allowed the Association the honor of Official representation. The exhibit ranked with the first class, and awarded accordingly. Great interest was manifested in our woods by citizens Of other states and nationalities, and earnest inquiries made as to their extensiveness for commercial uses. Soon after the close of the exposition, the commissioners tendered the en tire exhibit to the Forestry Association, as state property in trust, and re-erected it in the Main Building on the State Fair Grounds, preserving its original form greatly improved.
