Holgate, 88, retired chief counsel for the U. S. Reclamation Serv ice died Monday. Geese Ride Herd On Nursery Weeds Salem U.R) The State For estry Department, which has used helicopters to sow tree seed, bloodhounds to track in cendiarists and r a d i o-active beetles to combat the bark beetle epidemic, has turned to geese to ride herd on weeds at the Oregon forest nursery. Vern McDaniel, nursery su perintendent, said the geese will do the job and save the state money provided the fowl will play fair and eat the weeds and not the forestry seeds. McDaniel said one of the big gest headaches in managing a forest nursery is the problem of keeping the birds from eating the tree seeds after they are planted in the nursery. To grow some 9,000,000 seedlings each year for the farmers and tree people, each of the seeds ob viously must grow into a little tree. And to scare away the count less thousands of birds who'd like to keep those seedlings from growing into little trees, McDaniel has some of the high est paid "birdwatchers" in the northwest keeping watch. But the geese like the weeds instead of the seeds. And so they are coming to Oregon's timberlands.
