NE WINS, Department of Forestry, Oregon Agricultural College JUTFIT OF A “MIND READER” During the fall of 1911 the United States Forest Service purchased in Electrician Tells What He Discovered Oregon and Washington more than in Repairing Communication 10,000 two-bushel sacks of Douglas With Occult World.

The reforestation is done in general by two methods, either “direct seeding,” or that of “planting.” Direct seed ing is cheaper than the planting meth od and with Douglas Fir produces good results. The seed is sown either in the fall or early spring, and some times in the winter where the snow conditions will permit. When sown on the snow the seed are attractive to birds and consequently this method is only used to advantage upon soft or melting snow where the seed may quickly settle below the surface and seem to disappear.

The planting sea son this year opened at Halsey, Neb., two weeks later than usual, due to the hard winter which preceded. During the month of April 15(J acres were planted in the sand hills and one mil lion seedlings were transplanted at the nursery. In connection with this work certain interesting experiments were carried on. A forest officer with crews of from three to seven men in stalled silvical plots in the hills, using various species, and ages of stock which had been subjected to certain treatments in the nurseries, such as shading, watering, acid treatment to prevent blight, or different species were tried on different sites. The greatest care was taken with each plot, the trees being spaced exactly 4 feet by 4 feet, 2 feet by 2 feet, etc., and planted by the cone method. This is a German method; a hole is dug one foot square and one foot deep, a mound of earth shaped like a cone is formed at the bottom of the hole, and the roots of the plant are then care fully arranged over this mound so that they occupy their natural position in the ground. Then the ground is packed very firmly around the roots. A planter can plant only about 200 trees per day by this method, so that it is not used in all silvical experi ments. Also transplanting and seed sowing is experimented with under different silvical conditions. The movement toward reforestation is universal. The several states which have efficient boards of forestry are planting up denuded and exploited state lands, and the large tree seed and nursery companies are each year making extensive collections of fresh seed with which to supply their cus tomers. The following is a table showing the average quantity of seed per bushel of cones of the most important Western species: Douglas Fir, 1.25 pounds; Western Yellow Pine, 1.50; Engleman Spruce, .80; Sugar Pine, 1.60; Western Birch, .50; Sitka Spruce, 1.25; West ern White Pine, 1.00; Western Red Cedar, .75; Lodgepole Pine, .25. The collecting season for the seeds of the above species comes at a time when such industries as hop picking and harvesting call most men into the fields, but when the market is good the man who turns his attention to ward collecting Douglas Fir cones will earn high wages. A certain co-operative company in Iowa is typical of many similar cases. Besides buying 400,000 bushels of grain, this organization has in a year sold to the farmers 100,000 pounds of oil meal, 40,000 pounds of barbed wire and nails, 44,000 pounds binder twine, 2500 tons coal, 2400 sacks flour, 1500 sacks salt, 400,000 feet lumber and 1000 grain sacks, besides handling $17,000 worth of clothing, shoes and miscellaneous merchandise. Yet in this town also competitive dealers in all these commodities are still doing business and unquestionably are mak ing a reasonable profit.—Farm and Home. FASHION HINTS SHOES W. L.
