Although courts lean heavily for

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.

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.
