74O FARMERS GET
MONTANA TREES
233 MORE ORDER PAINTINGS
THAN LAST YEAR, REPORTS
UNIVERSITY NURSERY

Seven hundred and forty Montana
farmers, 233 more than last year, re-
ceived trees from the school of for
estry nursery at the State university
this year. From the standpoint of or
ders received, 1885 was the biggest
year in the history Of the nursery,
surprising by 113 the number of or
ders received during the former ban
ner year of 1881.
The number of trees distributed, how
ever, while higher than last year, was
nearly 100, 900 short of 1881, showing
that the number of trees on each farm
was considerably smaller. Two hundred
and thirty thousand trees were sent out
this year as compared with 322, 900 in
1881.
The forestry school nursery dis
tributes trees to Montana farmers
through the Montana extension service
at cost OF production.
Because Of the emphasis being placed
on the source of seed for tree produc-
ton, farmers are receiving more hardy
and more drOuth resistant stock. Ac-
cording to Irwin w. Cook, professor of
forestry and director Of the nursery,
replacement orders dwindled from 40
percent of the 1881 orders to 5 percent
In 1884. Those in charge OF the nursery
are attempting to obtain seed from
trees growing under environmental and
climatic conditions similar to those Of
eastern Montana, where most shelter
belts are being planted. Older planting
stock, which has been drOuth hardened
one year., is being sent out and a better
packing method has been adopted.
Caragana, Russia olive, green ash,
Chinese elm, Colorado blue spruce, and
American elm, in the order named, are
the trees in greatest demand. More
than 10, 900 caragana trees were ordered
from the nursery this year, while the
totals for Russian olive, green ash and
Chinese elm we're more than 10000
each. More than 10000 each of Color
ado blue spruce and American elm were
ordered by Montana farmers and CON
siderable demand was shown for the
fast growing box elder, golden willow

CCC BUILDING
PATHS In PARK
MORE THAN 100 MILES OF TRAILS
COMPLETED, SAYS DIREC-
TOR FECHNER

More than 100 miles of foot trails
have been completed by members of
the CCC in Glacier park, according
to Director Robert Fechner. The
work, he added. has been carried on
for a dual purpose: To make the
beauty spots there more accessible to
tourists and to aid the ranger organ
ization in combating fire.
Since the cliffs in Glacier park pro-
vide natural outlooks from which to
view the mountain and lake scenery,
the CCC men have built trails along
the edges of the cliffs or just under the
edge" said Fechner. Striking features
of the rock out-croppings, such as in
teresting qualifications or moss forma-
tons, have been emphasized. Each trail
has a definite starting point and OBJ
jective, and the length of the trail is
held to a minimum except for an &C.

include construction of the Anaconda
