A, POUAND SINIIAL IIICIIUC COMPANY 1 Our Christmas Gift to You W o o J iMALLORI g. $10.95 to $12.95 By BEN MAXWELL Capital Journal Writer John B. Woods and Son, local ed on Mildred lane about three miles southwest of Salem, conducts the only private forest tree nursery in the Pacific Northwest. This year the firm is growing 730.000 Douglas fir seedlings, next year they expect to market 6.000, 000 two year old seedlings and ulti mately 30.000.000 trees grown yearly on 90 irrigated acres. The Woods family lives up to its name. They are a family of forest ers. John R. Woods, now retired: was long in forestry service. His son. John B. Woods. Jr., had a significant role in reforestation of the Tillamook burn. Now a third generation member of the family is a student o forestry. Business Started In HM8 Wood seed business has been a Salem enterprise since 1948, te nursery was started during April of 1955. Woodseed collects and pro cesses seed of coniferous forest trees. About one third of their an nual harvest is sold in Germany where forestry is1 concerned with producing a crop. When a tree is removed another is soon planted in its place. There lumber trees are harvested at the close of their interval of greatest growth, not upon maturity. Clear lumber from old growth trees Is not a significant consideration with Cerman foresters. At Woods nursery forest tree seed are planted in beds by a spe cialized machine. All beds are irri gated by an overhead system the first year and by ground applica tions during their second growing season. Growth of a commercial seedling requires 18 months from seed. Then the plant is dug and distributed as a two year old. In Woods packing sheds girls tie freshly pulled trees into carefully wrapped bundles of about 2,000 each, the bundles weighing 40 pounds. Woods forest tree nursery sup plies seedlings to large lumber and nuln mmnanins tho human of hand mnnflpemenr. forestry He. partments and Christmas tree farmers. Besides Douglas fir the firm grows Noble, Silver; Grand and White fir and a limited num ber of Sequoia gigantea. Woods ex plains that the Douglas fir is really not a fir at all. Rotannically it is pseudotsuga taxifolia, literally a false hemlock with foliage like a yew. During the present planting sea son the firm will reforest between 5.OO0 and 6.000 acres with approxi mately 3,000,000 trees hand planted. Seeds Forestt by Contract Besides growing coniferous for est trees and collecting seed, the firm does forest seeding by con tract, using a helicopter for the purpose. Approximately 30,000 seed are sown to the acre with expec tation that 3,000 will strike root and grow. About 70 persons are on Woods payroll, now near the height of seasonal employment. There are four planting crew of 12 men each and two graduate foresters on the staff.
