Land for the nursery 106 acres was bought from Norman U. Compton by the Douglas County Court and will ultimately be pur chased by the slate under terms of a lease-purchase agreement. Meanwhile, the Slate Forestry Dept. plans to invest approxi mately a quarter of a million dol lars developing the nursery which will produce trees adaptable to every section of the stale. This investment includes Ihe construction of residences for the nurserymen, a cold storage plant large enough to store several mil lion seedlings, combined equip ment storage and garage, packing shed, office and warehouse.

This picture shows how the land is being prepared for growing seedlings. Fifteen acres of the land has bee.n readied for seeding which was scheduled to start this week. This will produce 15 million seedlings. (All pictures by Paul Jenkins.) ! RICH, LEVEL LAND is what was sought as a site for the tree nursery. Indicative of the type farm land acquired by Douglas County for the state is the crop growinq on the portion shown above. To further enrich the soil for growing trees, the lush crop of wheat and pur ple vetch will be plowed under. This was done on plots already prepared for planting of seeds. The boss of the tree nursery says he doesn t know how deep the soil n but ventures a guess that it is more than 15 feet deep. linn 'r nf Rnfhuro I Flit ST Trees Cont Irrigation water will be drawn from the Umpqua River by a heavy-dflty pump mounted on a "railroad car."

This was done so the pump can be moved above the high water mark during the winter monlhs. The track is built in sections so it also may be kept from river damage by removing it. rl - ' IRRIGATION attne State Forestry Dept. treenurssry near Elkton will be done entirely bv pipelines and overhead sprinklers.
