Forestry Methods

GMRAT FALLS, Mont., Jan. 3.
Forest investigation work conduetod
by federal forest experimental stations
has virtually revolutionized forestry
methods in the northwest durinp; the
past 10 years, according- to IK, If.
Wcidmnn and J. A. Larson, for sever
al years at the Priest River experi
mental station.
'Amonir tbo valuable things learned
lit tlio Priest liiver station, they said
was that the seed of western pine is
stored in the ground duff of the for
est. Thcrefoiin;onk?r to establish
a new forest after cutting, it is not.
necessary to leave seed trees, except
as a safe(,y measure nfruinst surface
fires. When the timber is cut and the
slush piled and burned, seedlings come
up from the stored seed. Unrestrict
ed burning of the slash, however, was
said to destroy tho seed and the hope
for n new forest.

ests when the slash is burned da'nij
(Jie first warm days of the spring
On areas where the slash is burned in
the Eummcr or fall, veryjittle nature!
restocking follows. This is due to the
fact thut in the spring, much of th
seed on tho forest floor is protected
from fire by tho moisture in the
ground."
Unrestricted burning of slashing cf
ter logging operations was said not
to be as effective a measure of fire
protection as the piling and burnin'r
of slash. Unrestricted iburning results
in the death of many small trees which
later fall, becoming material for a
second fire,
The low humidity of tho atmos
phere in this section of Montana iu
the summer time was said to bo one
cause of the numerous summer fire.
It wna found that fires run belter at
noon than cither in the morning or
at night. This has been explained by
the fact that material on the forest
floor both absorbs and loses moisture
very rapidly. With the setting of tho
sun, dew is collected, keeping tho
material damp until tho rising of tho
