Book excerpt: Excerpt from Interim Forest Tree Improvement Guides for the Central States The Central States Forest Tree Improvement Committee was organized in 1958 to foster tree improvement programs in the Central States. This region, which once produced some of the finest hardwoods on the continent, can regain its prominence in this field only by concentrated research and action programs, including tree improvement. The Committee is made up of any and all who are interested in forest genetics. The objectives of the Committee's tree improvement program coincide so closely with those of the Station in this field that we are glad to be able to participate generally in its activities and especially glad to contribute personnel and editorial services and facilities for this joint publication. High on the Committee's list of objectives has been the development of guides for the selection of superior seed trees, best sources of seed for planting, and the establishment of seed-production areas and seed orchards. This publication, Interim Forest Tree Improvement Guides for the Central States, is the first of a series of papers the Committee plans to prepare to meet this objective.
