which will not. 1t is a Simple matter
to find out. The Minnesota Expert.
ment Station is ready to give you adj
vice on the subject at any time.
When you have selected the species
properly, you are ready to buy the
stock. First, select reliable nursery
man. Do not buy stock eight or ten
years old. The trees which you want
for forest planting should seldom be
more than three years old, IL it is
evergreen, and scarcely ever more
than year old If it is hardwood
These are very much cheaper than the
older classes, very much easier to
plant and less liable to loss In the
operation. The high cost of seedlings
has been one of the great drawbacks
to forest planting and has been largely
due to a misunderstanding in regard
to the size of the seedlings needed.
The planting should be done some
time before the growth starts in the
spring. No exact date can be set; and,
indeed, it is immaterial SO long as the
seedlings have not started into growth
If you are not ready to plant the
seedlings out as soon as they arrive
from the nurseryman, unpack them at
once, bury the roots in a trench in
some cool place and pack the dirt
tight around them. Here they will
keep for week or two, if the weather
does not turn too warm. Thus you
are not bound down to any emergency
work in case the seedlings arrive when
you are too busy with something else.
And now another word for this ap-
parently unreasonable suggestion: If
you are going to get your seedlings
ready for planting in the early spring,
you must get them early. Nurserymen
Ale their orders when they come in,
and those which come in first are
filled first. Naturally, since all their
spring stock must go out practically
at the same time, they are tremen.
dously rushed in the early spring, and
orders which come in at that time can
not receive as prompt attention as
can earlier orders. You are apt to
get stock which has not been dug I'm.
til all their other shipments have been
made, and which, consequently. has
started to grow before it is taken out
of the ground This will not do nearly
as well as the earlier stock.
When the time comes for planting
we should be very glad to offer some
suggestion, but the important thing al
present is do your planning and get
your orders in early.

SPRING PLANTING.

Possibly it seems rather early tc
Spring planting" AS cold as it is
now and with the snow piled deep or
the ground it seems hard to realize
that it is only a matter of two or
three months until the ground will be
ready for the spring planting. Two OF
three months is not very long, and if
you have stopped to consider all the
other things you have to plan in that
same time you will realize the neces.
stty of getting to work at once.
Many do not consider that forest
planting needs any planning; in fact
much of the planting which has been
done heretofore would seem to indi
cate that planning was considered un,
necessary In some cases whatever
trees were the cheapest and most
easily obtained were planted wherever
there did not happen to be anything
else in the way. Some of these plan
tations have succeeded, in spite OF
their poor locations; others happened
to find favorable conditions; but the
majority of them have failed, and in
their failure have cast slur on for.
est planting in general.
The plans for your forest planting
should be as carefully Laid as those
for any Of your other crops-a good
deal more carefully than many crops
have been planned in the past Sure.

STORING SEED POTATOES
Separate Trays With Wire Netting
Bottoms an Ideal Method,

Bottoms an Ideal Method.
Seed potatoes should be stored in
dark, cool, airy place. Some grow
ers have tried the plan of selecting
the best typical tubers in the fall.
These are stored in six-inch trays with
wire netting bottoms. These trays are
about 2x21s feet, and have one-inch
cleat across each end at the top. This
allows them to be racked upon one an
other in the cellar or store room. The
spaces occasioned by the cleats allow
the air to get in between the trays
when the netting bottoms let it pass
up and around each tuber.
Such an arrangement gives ideal
storing conditions, according TO those
using the plan. Each tuber is kept
from heating or becoming moist frem
sweating and spEouting therefrom
It largely solves the problem OF sprout-
ing Seed; potatoes should never be
SLOWED 70 sprOut before planting. as
