COLLECT PINE SEED.
This Is Seed Year in Vermont and viii
Not Come Again for Several Years.


Not Come Again for Several Years.
The increased interest III forestry ii
Vermont and all ot@er parts Of the coun-
try has created an active demand for
seed Of the common white pine. This
natures an abundant crop OF seed only
once in three or folg years, and when
seed year comes the crop must be har-
vested or one must wait for another
period Of years. This year, 1907, is q
seed year in Vermont. Requests are
coming to the forestry department az
the agricultural experiment station at
Burlington from parties, both within
the state and outside, who wish to pur
chase pine seed This circular letter is
therefore issued to the press Of the etate
hoping that it may encourage anyone
who i farorably situated to collect the
seed. The seeds Of the pine are inclosed
between the scales in the green cones.
AS these cones dry and turn brown the
seeds fall out 70 secure the seed the
green cones must be gathered before
they open. Usually they begin to open
Rabout September rs or 20. So any col
lections Of the present crop must be
made at once These green cones may
now be seen clingng to the tips Of the
branches at or near the top OF the older
trees, 1t is easy to collect them where
such trees are being cut down More us
ually they are gotten by climbing the
trees and With garden rake pulling
oil the cones or breaking of the young
twIbs bearing the cones. These cones
may then be gathered into baskets or
sacks and spread in layer not over
three inches deep on a clean dry barn
door or similar place under cover to dry.
stirring occasionally If need he to insure
more rapid drying III there is stove
in the room The process is much has
tened. AS the scales open many Of the
seeds rattle out, and d little failing
brings out the rest Each seed has a
wing. When this is rubbed of and the
seeds screened and wilnowed each seed
is about the size of large kernel of
wheat. Each bushel OF cones will yield
a pound or somewhat less of such clean
seed. The market price Of seed this
year has not been announced but it il
sure TO be high enough to pay wen for
collecting.
The state nursery, which is situated
at the experiment station, viii need some
seed Tor its own use and distribution
each year Owners Of waste land which
could proftably be reforested ought If
practicable TO collect seed for growing
their own seadling trees and as before
stated requests have been receiveyd from
those outside Of the state, who wish to
purchase Vermont seeds. Anyone who
can collect seed, therefore, and wishes
to dispose Of IL, or who wishes further
advice in the matter, should at once adj
