IN THE LAST 40 years more than
100000 acres of denuded national
forest lands in Montana, South Da-
kota, Idaho and eastern Washington
have been successfully planted with
stock from the Savenac forest serv-
ice nursery at Haugan in Mineral
county. Annual production of the
nursery at present is 100000 trees.

where they are kept in well venti-
lated storage sheds until January.
when the seed extracting process
begins First step is to put the
cones into a hot room kept at 90
degrees, where the drying process
begins. Then they are put into a
drying kiln at 123 degrees and the
cones open up.
After this drying, the cones are
shoveled into a chute that drops
them into a revolving, screen-cov-
cred shaker drum to separate the
seeds from the cones. The next step
is to put the seeds into another ma
chine that removes the wings. Then
they are cleaned and stored in So
gallon drums until seeding time.
Most Of this equipment was designed
and constructed by nursery tech
nicians at Savenac under the direc-
ton of Nurseryman j. w. Augen-
stein and his assistant, Lee Mason.
The seed is broadcast into 42-inch
wide, smoothed beds on soil that has
been well pulverized and mixed
with dried blood and bonemeal fer
tilizer. Rate of seeding in the beds
is about IS to 100 trees per square
foot After the seed is broadcast,
it is rolled and then covered with
from u to II inch of screened river
sand. The seed beds are irrigated
by an oscillating type sprinkler
system.
First Transplanting
After or 2 years in the seed beds
the tiny seedlings are transplanted
and let grow for another year or two
before sending them out. The trans
planting is done with the aid of
aluminium planting boards" into
which the seedlings are threaded
after pruning the roots to an even
4-inches. The threading is done by
women working in canvas covered
coops to keep the sun from drying
the roots of the seedlings before
they are put into the ground.
The planting boards are made 0.
aluminium for light weight and LINED
on the inside with sponge rubbel
to protect the seedlings. The board

are 100 inches long and hold rs
seedlings.
A tractor-mounted trencher opens
a V-shaped trench about 6-inches
deep. Then the planting board is
set carefully into the trench and
loose earth on each side is packed
into place by the operator before the
clamps on the board are released.
With one woman threading boards
and one man setting them into the
trenches, 81 boards an hour can
be handled.
Essential points in the transplant
ing include having the soil moist,
seeding roots pruned to an even
inches and keeping them straight
and at the proper depth when set
into the ground Preparation of
these transplant beds includes final
cultivation with chisels, disc and
floats. A red clover green manure
crop is decomposed for one year as
q SOIL COnQlClOnGr.
Reforestation
Principle varieties grown at the
nursery include white pine, Ponde-
rosa pine, Douglas fir, Engleman
spruce and western red cedar. AL
nursery stock produced at Savenac
is for denuded federal forest lands
but if a surplus exists the trees can
be disposed of by bid to private
parties.
Last summer 10000 Douglas fir
seedlings We're shipped to Penn
sylvania to stock Christmas tree
farms. The nursery also supplied
$4,000 seedlings to o. M Patten,
extension forester, to help fill farm
orders when the Missoula nursery
fell short of the demand.
Trees in the oldest plantations
have now grown to 40 to so feet
tall and IA to 10 inches in diameter,
according to Augenstein. These
trees should be large enough for
saw logs in another 80 to 40 years.
And while this may seem a little
slow to those not familiar with
forestry, the program is important
to the future Of our nations timber

spend a minute talking about two
C's - charm and chewing - so
that those of you who know the
value of charm might help those
who just must chew gum and even
think that popping" it is the
right thing to do.
Usually the person who pops
gum is either off guard at the time,
has no respect for himself or
others, or just doesn't know any
better However, that is neither
here nor there, since what we
must do is try to help those who
feel they must chew. If you are
one of these, be sure to chew in
the minner that is proper to eat
your food = this is, without smack
ing the jaws together, but merely
crewing slowly and by all means
place it in your mouth so that it
is not in the front.
Chewing in public is surely not
good because you might forget and
do it wrong. If you are chewing
just before meal time, always put
your gum in corner of the paper
napkin, or better still, tissue,
and throw it away. Never put your
gum on the plate, table, behind
your ear, or elsewhere. If you
throw it in the street you are
likely to cause someone else
trouble, because it may stick onto
someone's shoe and cause a fall.
Of course, the best thing to do
about gum is not to chew it in
public at all, but If you must, re-
member to keep it to yourself.

.SWIMSUIT
MAKEUP
By Ruth Nelson Sawyer

New York (GlobaD - With
makeup as highly stylized as it
is today, it's only natural that
style-Wise women are using shades
of makeup which will compliment
their swimsuitS and beach wear.
The cream base makeup is very
attractive on most shades of skin,
and should be applied literally. IN
addition to heightening your col
or, the cream base protects your
skin from the blazing summer
sun. Select your makeup in q
shade which suits your skin tone.
This is important: Never use
powder over the cream base you
sport on the beach or at the pool.
You'll find that your skin looks
better beneath the sun when it
has a sheen. If you have diff
Guilty in bringing out that sheen,
apply oil to the skin before you
use your cream makeup. You need
no special oil or cream for this
summer base. Use the same pro-
ducts you have utilized on your
face and body all winter long.
When you debut on the beach in
your bathing suit, or at the coun-
try club in your shorts or pedal
pushers, make sure your finger
nails and toenails are as spectacu-
larly made up as your face. In
this connection don't, hesitate to
make up your chest and back if
you want to show your swim and
play outfits to their best advan-
tage.
Following your beach appear
ance, make d0ubly sure that you
engage in an extra session of
thorough sOaping to remove Ill
make up from the skin. Play safe
after bathing, and apply any
known body lotion to keep the
skin soft.
Remember: Making up for the
beach is just as important as your
daytime and evening complexion
care, and it pays off in all in
stances - ask the men.
