RE-FORESTING NEVADA HILLS

Two hundred and fifty acres of
the mountain side of Snake Creek
in the Snake division Of the Ne
vada forest. will be PLANTED with
seed of the yellow pine by the for
est service under the direction of
Deputy Supervisor Diffenbach. In
addition to the seed 1000 one and
t~o-year-old pine seedlings will be
planted in the same vicinity.
This work of ~reforesting the re-
serves is part of the regular scheme
of the government and was first at
tempted in this county near the
Berry creek station. There are a
large number of two-year-old seed
lings of yellow pine. fir and other
varieties of trees were planted.
The yellow pine planting was a fail
ure hut about rs per cent of the
other seedlings took to the soil and
flourished. Ten acres were planted
with yellow and lodge pole pine
seed with which better luck was
had.
Small areas of the ground were
measured off after the seeds began
to sprout and the number of
sprouts counted. From the figures
obtained it is estimated that there
will be 1908 trees to the acre if
all those that got a start will sur
vive.-Appeal.
