the time such moneys are deposited: Provided, That the Secretary of
Agriculture may exchange with such public agencies forest-tree seed and
nursery stock for forest-tree seed or nursery stock of the same or
different species upon a determination that such exchange is in the
interest of the United States and that the value of the property given
in exchange does not exceed the value of the property received: Provided
