as month contracts on loans over $1500 THE forestry station at Mid hurst is in the process of shipping approximately 8000 000 tiny trees to private land owners in Ontario Hcre sta tion employees unload halo of 100 white cedar trees at the farm of Mrs Hissoc of Schomberg Forest Station Prepares Of Seedlings Millions By BRIAN BAKER If you can imagine forest covering 10000 acres then you will have some idea of what the 10000000 young trees ship ped out from Midhurst Refor estation Nursery each year would look like if they were planted in solid block at standard spacings and left to grow for to or 50 years At present the nursery is in the process of shipping out some eight million liillc trees for the establishment of plant ations this spring stunner this planting stock is being shipped out to private land owners in Central Ontario and for the establishment of gov ernmcnt plantations on land not fit for cultivation Two million more will be shipped out next fall mostly for gov ernment planting But it is interesting to learn that these trees are shipped to such distant areas as the Son Swastika Sudbury District Gowganda Parry Sound and Eastern Ontario for establish ment of plantations on Crown Lands To these places trees are shipped out by the hun dreds of thousands by trans port and rail OUTPUT Evergreens chiefly white pine and red pine and white spruce make up about 98 per cent of the nurserys entire output While hardwoods ac count for about two per cent of the output this geing chief ly white ash red oak and the rapid growing Carolina poplar Spring is the rush

take part in con servation is the giving of little packets of Johnny Acorns complete with planting instrucv tions to visiting classes of school students large num ber of whom come from Met ropolitan schools At first we tried to give vis iting students some little me mento to remind Hiern of their visit an official explained Eventually we decided we needed to make this more formal think it is good for young people to plant trees for they will live to see and enjoy the results of their at forts SEEDLING TREES There are staggering 5o 000000 seedling trees in all stages of development in the nursery which covers some 300 acres of the Stations total of 2000 acres How many seedlings would you say are in these rows asked an official pointing to six long fourfootwide beds matted with little

interest in joint sew age handling project to service all three areas The purpose of the meeting was primarily to hear views of the three municipal councils and determine whether there was interest in

made wild guess of half million No laughed the official there are two million Its fun to ask visitors to guess the number of trees in given bed Most people cannot believe so many trees can possibly be counted Since some seedlings in the same beds will for some rea son grow almost twiee as fast as others the seedlings must be graded as they are raised for transplanting The large seedlings will grow this summer and be ready as planting stock this tall or next spring in their third year of growth The smaller ones will be gmwu for another two years One of the most interesting operations being carried out in the nursery is the actual trans planting of these seedlings Two ingenious multiple planters one following the other down the same bed move at snails pace up land down rows several hundred feet long in field perfectly free of weeds The lead planter plants so rows of seedlings each ten inches apart The followmg planter comes behind and plants another six rows in between the first
