Trees Planted By Machine

A machine which plants from 10 to
Is thousand forest tree seedlings a
day is now being used at the Letch
worth Park Forest and Arboretum. in
Wyoming county, N. Y, according to
officials of the Forest Service who are
acting as advisers in the work. Pre-
viously the planting has been done by
hand at the rate of 1900 to 1900 trees
each day per man.
The machine was designed to set out
cabbage and tomato plants, but works
equally well with trees. 1t is about
the size of an ordinary moving ma
chine and is operated by three men
and two horses. One man drives the
team while the other two handle the
seedlings. The machine makes a fur
row in which the trees are set at any
desired distance. and an automatic
device indicates where they should be
dropped. Two metal-tired wheels push
I'd roll the dirt firmly down around
the roots. This is a very desirable
The Cecil Whig., 1916-06-24

feature. it is said, because the trees
are apt to die if this is not well done.
Two attachments make it possible to
place water and fertilizer at the roots
of each Seeding. Another attachment
marks the line on which the next row
of trees is to be planted.
No cost figures are available yet,
but officials say that the cost will be
much less than when the planting is
done by hand. 1t is stated that the
machine can be used on any land
which has been cleared and is not too
rough to plow ad harrow.
