Forest Tree Culture

Prof. A. c. Russell of Kent's Hill
not onlv believes in the future of
Kennebec county but he believes that
the present generation should plan
to make that future what 1t ought
to be. That is why he has been
planting young pine trees each year
for several years on waste land near
his orchard at Readfield Corner.
The trees are planted in rows six
feet apart and are set six feet apart
in the row. There are several rea-
sons for planting so closely. One
Is that while the trees are still COM
paratively small the branches will
interlace and then will begin a strug-
gle for sunlight as the lower branches
are shaded by those above them and
die. This will mean tall, straight
trees free from large knots.--in other
words the best possible quality of
lumber.
Another reason Is to overcome as
far as possible the injury done by
the pine weevil. This little insect
is very common and hardly a pine
tree of any size has escaped its
ravages. The adult lays her eggs in
the terminal shoots of the tree and
the young larvae injure the shoot
that it speedily dies. A struggle then
takes place among the next lower
branches for leadership. And the re-
suit IS scrubby tree or a crotch or
crooked log at that place. Close
planting helps to overcome this
trouble.
Two years ago the Readfeld Farm
Bureau included a pine planting
demon tration in their programe of
the week. 1t was given by County
Agent Day and the Extension For
estry Specialist. The trees were Sc
cured from the State Forest Nursery
at Orono.

and previous to this bull his breed
ing had been to Langwater's Uncle
Sam owned by Don Towne, OF Madi-
son, another Guernsey Breeder.
Mr.. Salley is a man who believes
that each time he obtains bull
better bull than the previous one
should be secured. Unfortunately,
Somerset County has too many
scrub and grade bulls and a good
percentage of pure-bred bulls who
do not have the herd improving
qualities that better bull should
have. During the spring and sum-
mer of 1926, bull calves, sired by
Beechwood's King Silas. have been
sold by Mr.. Salley.
Six purchases of bulls sired by
him are:

ated and consists of 200 acres, hav-
ing been IN the family for three gen.
erations. From the level fields can
be obtained fine view of Scion,
Madison, Arson and Lake Wesser-
runsett.
Along with his dairy business Mr..
Salley is carrying on an approved
orchard scheme. There are 700
trees consisting Of Baldwins. Nc
intoshs, Courtlands, Red Spies.
Deliciouses, and Starkings. For the
last three years spraying has been
carried on with Myers Jr. Sprayer.
An exceptionally thorough job has
been done and the fruit grown is
well colored and is free from dis
ease and insect injury. Mr.. Salley
markets most of his fruit locally in
Madison and Skowhegan.

Forseeing the coming interest and
demand for planting of forest trees
by farmers on their waste land, as
well as timber owners. Francis
Friend, A Forestry Graduate from
the Maine and Yale Universities has
started a forest nursery to grow
supply of white pine. white spruce
and Norway spruce seedlings and
transplants.
The nursery is located four miles
from Skowhegan on the macadam
road between Skowhegan ana
Hinckley on the bank of the Ken
nebec River. The soil is well
adapted for a nursery. being a sandy
loan. In order that no drought may
affect the delicate little seedlings, a
Skinner Sprinkling System has beer,
installed. 5000 So. TT. can be covered
with a maximum of $4,000 So. IT.
The pump for this system which
draws the water from the river is
about 10 feet above the ordinary
level Of the river, the nursery being
located ten feet above the pump
$50 feet of pipe is necessary to bring
the water to the nursery. AS the
water is forced through the pipe,
it's action in passing through a
special device. called the Oscilator,
causes the pipe of the sprinkling
system to revolve in a half circle
| throwing out fine mist, which
covers the ground. Mr.. Friend
| states that thus far this year 1t has
| not been necessary to use the sys-
| tenn.
There are six seed beds 100 feet
| long by feet wide. These were
plowed in 1925 and plowed and har-
rowed during the spring of 1926,
| The beds were then made by rails
| ing them four inches over the
ordinary surface of the nursery.
These beds were then raked over to
carefully pulveriZe the soil and then
the small seeds were broadcasted
| using pounds of spruce for every
| As 50. IT. and IL ounces of white
pine for every As So. IT. The seed
were then f1rmed with a 400 pound
! weight. Following this, very fine
sand was sifted over the top and
! firmed again. This sand for the sur
| face was obtained about two feet
! under the ground in order TO lessen
| the possibility of weeds. Burlap
strips 6 feet wide were then laid
over the top of each bed to pro-
tect the seeds from birds, etc. until
they had started AS soon as the
seed had started the burlap was re-
moved and shade frames were plac-
ed over the beds. These frames are
| made Of laths and are used to create
artificially the same environment
| that is obtained in natural seeding.
There are two types of screens
| used by Mr.. Friend: one which is
IL feet long and 4 feet wide which. is
stiflly constructed. The other sis
| made similarly only the laths are
held together by wire which allows
| them to be rolled up. These are q
| feet long by 4 feet wide and are
much easier to handle by one man

The present seeding is 100000
trees the white pine growing con-
siderabIy faster than the spruce.
Small wind mills are used to keep
away the birds and the seed beds
are weeded about every two weeks.
Concerning his plans for 1927 Mr..
Friend states that he plans to have
seed beds enough for 100000 or 5O0,-
600 seedlings. The 1925 crop will
stay one more year in the seed beds.
Then they will be transplanted to
what Is known as the Transplant
Bed in 1928 and will be for sale in
1929.
There are AZ acres In the nurs-
cry at present, all of which, pro-
viding the forestry interest develops.
will be used for the transplants and
the seed beds by the end of 1928.
In East New Portland. near the
cemetery, stands a plot of land COW
cred with white pines. About half Of
these pines were trimmed pines some
years ago: long enough so that the
scars left by the removal of limbs
have completely healed over. All the
growth from now on will make good,
clean clear timber
For some reason the owner was
advised not to trim the rest of the
trees, after about half had been
trimmed. These have not grown as
well, since a good deal of the growth
has gone into low branches and limbs
rather than into trunk growth.
A Timber Estimating Demonstra-
| ton was held in the timber lot las:
fall and the following information
secured:
BY boring into the trees, a core of
about the size of a pencil was Sc
cured The annual rings, when
counted, showed the trees to be APP
proximately 81 years old.
On an acre basis, determined by
using the Federal Land Bank Crus-
ing Stick, it was found that there
was at present 22,240 board feet. The
plot itself was a little short of one
half acre. On the half acre were 232
trees with an average of 40 feet
square edged lumber per tree; $3.50
board feet for little less than one-half
acre. On this basis an acre planted
to White Pine will scale approxi-
mately 22,240 board feet square
edged lumber.
Timber Estimating Demonstrations
planned for October are as follows:
October 10. Athens; October 10,
