PLANT $500 TREES A DAY.
Employees of Government Forest Re-
serve in Nebraska Have q system.

In the last few weeks since the
planting of trees on the government
forest reserve In the Diamond River
Valley, in Nebraska, began 100000
trees have been planted. This number
covers an area of 800 acres. The plant.
ing is being done in the sand hills
adjoining the nursery grounds and en-
tending one and half miles back from
the river
In preparing the ground for planting
burrows are plowed eight feet apart In
the grass sod and the trees are planted
six feet apart In the furrow.
The operation of tree planting Is
simple. but there are certain steps that
must be carefully observed. When dig.
ging the trees from the seed beds II
is necessary to handle them with great
care. to prevent injuring the roots
more than Is necessary. The roots
must never be allowed to dry. AS soon
as dry the trees are set In q bucket
of water and later wrapped in wet
sacks in bundles of 100. The bundles
are then packed twenty in Il box con-
tanning sufficient wet moss to keep the
roots In good condition several days If
necessary. The boxes of trees are car.
ricd to the place of planting on pack
horse.
In the field the men work in squads
of three. One man carries the trees In
a bucket In which Is enough water to
keep the roots wet. lie also hands
trees to the planters as they are need.
ed. The two other men use spades and
plant the trees In the burrows The
planting Is quickly and easily done.
The spade Is thrust into the sand and
full length of the blade. a sidewise mo.
tons opens the hole sufficiently to adj
NIT the roots of the tree. After setting
the tree In place the spade Is again
thrust into the sand an inch or two
from the original opening and the sand
Is pressed firmly against the roots. One
1 or two strokes with the heel firms the
sand more securely, and the tree Is
| planted. Working in this manner, a
squad Of three men plant from 5000
to $500 trees in a day.
The trees are one year old Western
