TREES SET BY MACHINE. Fifteen Thousand Seedlings Daily Is Capacity of Device. ' Washington, June 14. A machine which plants from 10,000 to 15,000 forest tree seedlings a day is now be ing used at the Letchworth Park For est and Arboretum in Wyoming County, N. Y., according to officials of the Forest Service who are acting as advisers in the work. Previously the planting has been done by hand at the rate of 1200. to 1500 trees each day per man. The machine was designed to set out cabbage and tomato plants, but works equally well with trees. It is about the size of an ordinary mowing SHERRY THEATRE To-day Only William Fox Presents 3- George Walsh & Doris Pawn In Blue Blood & Red Love and. Romance in Genuine Western Surroundings Also TWO COMEDIES machine and is operated by three men and two horses. One man drives the team while the other two handle the seedlings. The machine makes a fur row in which the trees are set at any desired distance, and an automatic device indicates where tney should be dropped. Two metal-tired wheels push and roll the dirt firmly down around the roots. This is a very de sirable feature, it is said, because the trees are apt to die if this is not well done. Two attachments make it pos sible to place water and fertilizer at the roots of each seedling. Another attachment marks the line on which the next row of trees is to be planted. No cost figures are available yet, but officials say that the cost will be much less than when plantingis done by hand. It is stated that the ma chine can be used on any land which has been cleared and is not too rough to plow and harrow. Our Want Ada bring results.
