Planting of Trees
Nearing Completion

Despite a late start due to in
clement weather, the Department
of Forests and Parks is completing
the largest tree planting program
undertaken to date on privately
owned lands in this county.
By the end of this week approx
mately 100000 seedlings will have
been distributed to county land
owners for hand or machine plant
ing. according to r. Thomas Thay-
err. assistant district forester. He
said $4,000 of the trees delivered
had been or will be planted by
machine. To accomplish the job
four machine crews and other per-
sonnet of the department have
been working seven days week
since the beginning of April.
Thayer said in contrast to last
year when planting had to be
halted before May because of dry
weather, this seasons cool, wet
spell had given tree planters a
welcome time extension.
He said that although tree plant
ing had been popular in the county
for several years, the program was
increased this year due to the soil
bank conservation reserve which
allows landowners to retire all of
their crop land from production,
plant it in trees and receive an
annual rental for ten years of $40
an acre. Thayer said some of the
larger acreage planted included
Sc acres of the f. c. Weitzcll prop
erty near Accident and Sc acres of
the Roy Grove property near Fin
eel
1t was noted of the 200 persons
requesting trees many indicated a
desire to establish wind barriers
to prevent drifting of snow in farm
lanes.

Another frequent example Is
the college preparatory course IN
England. Again, the critics don't
bother TO say that only q very
few are allowed to follow that
course.
In most European countries,
the student has little to say about
what course he does follow. IL Is
determined in most part oy
examination. If an English boy

qualify for the college prepara-
tory course, it's only rarely that
