HOW

WORK EQR GOVERNMENT

f. SQUIRRELS ARE USED TO
WORK FOR GOVERNMENT.
I'm conducting its extensive ex-
porlments to discover the best
way to reforest waste lands or
burnt-over forest lands the for
est service has need Of, large
quantities Of forest-tree seeds,
especially OF the cone bearing
varieties. Since these trees do
not bear evenly every year, it is
necessary for economic rea-
sons to ascertain in advance
what species will furnish good
seed crops each year, as well as
to undertake the gathering OPP
erations in regions where the
cones are likely to be most abun.
dant. For these reasons in
formation is collected as to the
bearing and conditions of the
trees In different parts. of the ma,
tional forests, sometimes as
much as two or three years in
advance. This is possipie We
cause many of the species Of
pines take from two TO three
years to ripen their cones.
When numbering Is proceeding
ut the time of sced-ripening it
is comparatively simple mat
ter to gather the cones from the
felled trees. But when the trees
are to remain standing II is
sometimes a rather difficult
task to get the cones without
climbing the trees. A great deal
can be accomplished with hooks
!, or knives attached to long poles,
hut the forest rangers have
learned "a. make use os natures
own seeG-collcctors for their
purposes. Plenty Of CONES are
found In the seed stores OF the
squirrels. This seems to lie a
very economical way for Uncle
Sam to obtain his forest seeds.
Not only is this method con-
venlent. but It has the further
advantage OF furnishing the hest
seeds. The squirrels apparently
place in their boards only high.
grade cones. Moreover, the
squirrels put their supplies away

the squirrels reserves after the
cones siill on the trees have

seeds. The red squirrel is the
best collector: in mary OF, the

bushels OF cones of good Gnali,y.
The average quantity found in n
single-cache Is about two bush
