.Townshend experimenting the planting
on the state tract, bought short time
ago of 10000 white pine trees ard 49,
900 Scotch pines. More pines are ex.
pected later. The present planting is
being done on the old abandoned farm
land. The white pines, which are
three years old, were raised in the
state nursery at Burlington, but the
Scotch pines came from Connecticut.
The state has several hundred thou
sand 3-year-old white pines which are
selling at SIS thousand, and orders
| have been received for quarter of a
million plants. The planting here will
continue from year to year until the

| and is similar to that on the state for
ests in Lyndon, Plainfeld, Sharon,
Cancels Hump, and Mendon.
