A Suit-Ca.se Exhibit: The pictures which were formerly used on the county

exhibit panel rIo. 1, Forestry Fundamentals, have outgrown their useful-

ness as a. panel exhibit, having been used for over two years as a county

exhibit. These have boon removed and framed on cards 16x2O with cellu- 
loid fronts and arranged so they can be hung on a wall for display at 
school houses and other similar pl~ccs. The titles are also framed with 
the pictures so that they tell the story of forostry,2rotcction,-Tirber-

Foraige-Health, as told when mounted on the panels. The display consists

of 21 pictures and fits in a suitcase box 17"x21- b; 6" thick,
and weighs 
approximately 30 pounds. The.exhibit can be shipped by express very road-

ily and will be available for use on any of the forests as desired. pne 
or all of the groups may be used dupending upon the space available. This

will make a very sizable, attractive small exhibit at azV point.

During the fall they carried 800 lbs. into the lake during a single night.

At the above rate it appears that 2,000 lbs. of green aspen is about 
right for a year's diet for a single beaver and probably somewhat in ex-

cess of the amount used ux:r natural conditions.
