Forestry
The pupils of the Central School, and those of the prim- ary school at No. 5, assisted and directed by Mr. Cochran and the tree warden, and his men, planted 2000 Norway Spruce and 1000 White Pine trees received from the state forest nursery at Bridgewater, April 26.
A part of the spruce trees were planted at the town house lot, in the portion too wet for pine to thrive. The primary pupils assisted here, each being given a tree, which he may keep track of and watch as it grows. The rest were plant- ed in the lot in the rear of the Central School. About one and a half acres of this lot has been cleared of briars and underbrush and undesirable trees, and to make it accessible to school children and other visitors a foot bridge has been built across the brook which at times spreads widely along the road leading thereto.
Several cords of wood were obtained in clearing this tract, a part of which, at least, will be used or disposed of by the Board of Public Welfare.
The tree club at the High School, under the direction of Mr. Cochran, has continued its activities through the co-operation of the principal, Mr. Gifford, and that of Messrs Freeman, Brockway and Parmenter, who have so kindly given their services.

TOWN OF NORWELL
A few residents of Norwell have been led to plant forest trees. More co-operation is desirable between the residents of Norwell and the forestry committee.
With the advice of Mr. Parmenter from the State For- ester's department, 138 trees in the rear of the Washington Street Cemetery have been marked for cutting, giving the better trees a better chance to develop. We have an offer for these trees and expect to sell them standing. We have arranged with Mr. Bowker, of the Cemetery Committee, to remove the dead trees from the same tract.
The committee attended the conference of Town Forest Committees, held under the auspices of the Massachusetts Forestry Association at the State House on Dec. 7, and listened to instructive addresses.
