Troy Women's Club Sponsors
Forestry Conservation Project,
The Troy Women's club sponsored
forest conservation project on
April 81 by enlisting tie aid of
the Boys and Girls Scout organiza
lions together with the husbands of
the Women's club members in plant
ing $50 Trees. cleaning out dead and
fallen timber and doing some thin
ming on an acre of land near Troy.
The forestry conservation project is
being carried on under the direction
of Forest Ranger Ed. Henriehs, of
the Cabinet ranger station near
Troy. The scene of action was on an
acre selected just few rods beyond
sand hill on the roadside leading
from Troy to Savage lake. It is
hoped that with repeated effort
from time to time. through the CO.
operation of the Scout organizations,
that the Women's club may realize
their goal of having sponsored an
acre of tree planting which will
prove instructive to the Scouts and
beneficial to the community IN pro-
noting the work of forestry.
Forest Ranger Henrichs took con-
siderable pains and care IN instruct
ing the Scouts and a large number
of older people present in the means
employed by the forestry service TO
determine the age of any growing
tree, the rate of growth, and use
made of this information by the for
est service. The method of thin
ming out certain species of trees and
the proper method of planting trees
were not onlyCthoroughly demon
strated but INDUCED in by the work
ers present.
Upon conclusion of work the anna
teur forestry crews sojourned TO
School House lake where the food
committee of the Wemehss Club
had an appetizing picnic lunch ready
which was heartily consumed by
the so people present. Moving pic
ture scenes at the picnic grounds
were taken by j. B. Farris, while
. the crowd played some impromptu
! games consisting of horse shoe, base
J ball, and something akin to drop
the handkerchief. All members re-
turned home feeling that they hao
spent q profitable and pleasant day
