(Special) Timber tree nurseries are adding nearly 20 million seedlings this year to the growing stock of Washington and Oregon forests. A survey just completed by American Forest Products Indus tries Inc. shows eight major "tree factories" in the two states are turning out 19,380,000 little trees this season to help nature restock idle timberlands for future crops. Last year the same nurseries six in Washington and two in Or egon, distributed 16,237,500 trees. Leading in production both years was the forest industries' nursery at Nisqually, Wash., which distributed 9,054,000 trees or nearly 56 percent of the two state total in the 1950-51 plant ing year. This year Nisqually has a planned output of 7,000,000 of which 2,750,000 are earmarked for Oregon. Other forest nurseries tabulat ed are operated by the two states individually, the U. S. Forest Ser vice, Sou conservation service and the City of Seattle. Pine tree production at Pullman and Bend nurseries, now getting into stride is included. Altogether the eight timber nurseries in the nation's two top timber states have a pro duction capacity of 30,650,000 trees a year, the AFPI survey dis closed. In releasing the figure the for est industry sponsored organiza tion pointed out that while most woodlands restock themselves naturally, planting is sometimes necessary where all seefl sources have been destroyed or depleted. Last year in the United States half a billion seedling trees were planted on nearly a half million acres of potentially productive forestland. Lifting, bundling and shipping of the new seedling crop are now in full swing in Oregon and Wa shington nurseries west of the Cascades. Planting is proceeding apace. Hand planting of the vast array of little trees represents more than 30,000 man-days of labor in a season.
