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 hrboretum, 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 200 to 800
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
machine and is opearted 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

A Talented Father

A father had decided that he must
administer a stern lecture to his
youthful son.
Father spoke judiciously, but Sc
verely; he recounted the boys mis-
deeds, and duly explained the why's
and wherefores of his solemn rebuke,
his wife the while standing by, duly
impressed.
Finally, when the father ceased for
breath and incidentally to hear the
culprit's acknowledgment of error.
the boy, his face beaming with admi-
ration, turned TO his mother and said:
"Mother, isn't dad interesting ?"

push and roll the dirt firmly down
around the roots. This is very de-
sirable feature, it is said, because the
trees are apt to die if this is not well
done. Two attachments make it pos
sible 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 pillow and harrow.
