Tillamook Burn Reforestation Plan Awaits Arrival of Spring By Winston IL Taylor Staff Writer. The Statesman J When this spring's 6un melts the snow from the northwest corner of Oregon, the final experimental phase prior to reforestation of the great Tillamook burn will get underway. In the snow now is poison bait to kill the area's mice, who otherwise would eat the seed to be broadcast from a helicopter- J f If this J,500acre test gives the same results as past experiments m geeding, said Nelson S. Rogers. 'Copter, Hand Method Used to Reseed Forests state forester, the state forestry department will be ready to spend the bond money which- Oregon voters approved at the November, 1948, election. That constitutional amendment allows floating of bonds not to exceed three-fourths of one per cent of the state's assessed valuation, a limit of ap- proximately $10,00,000. Askinr for Legislation The department is asking for legislation to put into action the . people's mandate, with a desire to bond up to $500,000 during the coming biennium. This would be spent principally for equipment, seed, nursery stock and labor, . -according to John Woods, assist ant state forester. The work will begin after the fall rains start. The Job of paying off the debt will begin as funds come in from the sale, exchange of use of state forest lands and from disposal of their products. Extent of Burn c In the Tillamook! burn 220.000 acres are to be forested, of which about two-thUs will be by seeding and ajfut one-third by - planting of rursery-started trees. The huge burn, at its ex tremes. Is 33 miies across from north to south and 29 miles from seeding with a tool developed by the department and broadcasting seeds from aircraft. At first crop duster airplanes were used, but were limited by lack of nearby landing strips. Seeding by 'copter is how . the however, heed only small landing fields and can hover close to the ground. Seeding by 'copter? is now the department "beats the brush which comes up eachiyear. While an acre a day is good progress for planting by a man working on the ground, a helicopter has sowed 1.850 acres in 22 hours of flying time. Hand-seeding would take about one-half as much time as hand-planting. Helicopter Ao Cheaper The helicopter is also cheaper, with a total cost of about $7 per acre compared to $15-S20 for planting. Rogers says. However, not all spots can be seeded in this manner, because some ground is covered by litte too deep for the seed to penetrate to the re quired soil and because some is too exposed to direct ; sun. Een the rodent control is by air, with bait dropped to kill an estimated a to 12 mice per acre .t . "ft e..iA- 1 .umm.J. ser Helicopters have it "all over" other means of planting in restoring the forest to burned - off areas of Oregon, both in time and in cost. The helicopter above has dropped down to a low level over the Til? lamook burn to broadcast tree seeds. But in some areas, the exposure to direct sun is too much for "baby" trees or the ground litter is too thick for seeds to reach the soiL To overcome that problem, Oregon direct seeding hand tool shown below was developed by John Woods, assistant state forester in charge of conservation. It penetrates the litter, loosens the soil and drops in a seed held in the handle. It is shown in operation by Briee Ilammack of St. llelens Pulp and Paper Co., formerly with the state'torestry department. r Four steps comprise the over- i east io wesi. ii memoes pui uums dii piu&iuii iui iriuu-Mdiiwi ( , of Tillamook.
