This week we received the 1959
order blanks for forest trees from
the Oregon State Board of For
estry. This means that our farm
ers and ranchers can be think
ing now of lining up windbreaks
and forest tree plantings so that
they might get their order in
to take advantage of the seed
lings while they are still avail
able. During the past two or
three years many orders have
been left unfilled because of the
great demand for tree seedlings
over the actual number avail
able. An Increased number of
seedlings are available this year,
still it is a good idea to plan
early and not be disappointed.
