Collect Pine Seed.

The. Vermont State Nursery used las
year Tor It's own planting and for distri
button IN the state the seeds from nearl,
100 bushels Of white pine cones. These
were collected near Burlington where III,
pines fruited abundantly last autumn
This tree natures a good seed crop only in
three to hve years, however, and but few
seeds will be found there this autumn,
Fortunately good crop is reported from
various other sections Of the state and
wherever cones are abundant il will pay
to collect them. This must be done in
September, at which time the mature
cones are from three to five inches long,
green and with scales still closed In DC.
tober the scales open while the cones are
yet hanging on the tree and the seeds
then scatter. Where pine trees are being
cut IN September 1t is easy to pick the
cones which may in some cases have a
value equal to that of the lumber from
the tree. Usually, however, the cones
must be harvested by climbing the trees
and raking them from the branches. In
this way from a peck to three bushels
may be had from single good tree The
green cones are then to be dried under
cover when the scales open and most OF
the seed will fall out. When fully dried
the balance may be threshed out with a
fail. A bushel OF cones would yield about
a pound of seed. The seeds are of about
the size and color of buckwheat and if
handled rightly one pound should start
pine seedlings enough to plant several
acres.
The management of the State Nursery
at the experiment station, Burlington, will
give further advice upon request relative
to collecting and planting seeds of pine OF
other forest trees. In case the collector

The iolophane shade or reflector is the
device which does away with this waste.
The shades differ irom the ordinary rlass

scientific theory used Is that OF the prism
