Abstract This article broadens the scope of a paper of the same title by Leon S. Minckler in the July 1939, Journal of Forestry. The authors agree that the principles of genetics are already fairly well established, but contend that actual research on trees is necessary to obtain the facts needed for the application of these principles to the improvement of existing stands and the production of superior tree types. It is suggested that controlled breeding is the most efficient approach. Several specific lines of research are briefly discussed as fundamental to such a breeding program.
