Eoresters PlantInu rrees.

A force of about 40 are now at work
on the spring planting on the perma-
nent state forest reserves, according
to State Forestery E. NJ Griffith.
There are approximately 1884 900
trees in the Trout lake nursery, be-
sides very large amount OF seeding
stock. These trees are of the follow.
Ing species: Norway pine, white pine,
Scotch pine, western yellow pine, Nor
way spruce and Colorado blue spruce.
The annual output of the Trout lake
nursery will be 100000 trees, and the
annual output of the Tomahawk lake
nursery will be 100000 trees.
OF the 1,SS4,000 trees available for
use this spring. about 100000 will be
planted on the permanent forest re-
serves, 100000 will be transplanted to
the new Tomahawk lake nursery,
about 100000 will be used on the four
state parks and several thousand will
be sold at a reasonable price to private
planters. Others will be transplanted
this year and planted out in the field
next year.
The output OF the Trout lake nurs-
cry viii be largely used in state work,
while the output of the Tomahawk
lake nursery will be used to supply
the needs of owners of private plan
tations. The transplanting work in
the latter nursery will furnish work to
the patients In the state camp for
convalescent consumptives, which was
provided for by the last legislature
and which is located on forest reserve
lands near Tomahawk lake.
Considerable forest planting was
done on the state reserves last year
and this year the operations will be
much larger. Where fires are kept
out, wild land will grow up naturally
to forests, but barren, burned-over
tracks are being replanted and much
of the earlier replanting work is be-
ing done along lake shores that have
been cut and burned over. so as to re-
store the beauty of these lake shores
as rapidly as possible.
A number of private forest planta-
tions have been started in Wisconsin,
and several will be started or en-
larged this spring.
