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.
