o O TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, December 13, 1955 Some 246,000 Trees Planted in National Forest This Winter from Planting of 246,000 seedling trees on 363 acres of cutover land is being completed this month in Rogue River National Forest. Present plans call for larger number of trees to be planter next spring. Trees planted this fall include 80,000 douglas fir, 120,000 sugar pine, and 46,000 ponderosa pine Sugar pine are planted in the blister rust control unit in the area north of Prospect, where w they will be protected blister rust disease. Age of Trees Tredig) for planting in the Rogue River Forest are between one and three years old and are grown at Forest service nurs eries at Carson, Wash., Bend Ore., and McCloud, Galif., usual ly from tree seed collected from seed cones of parent trees in Rogue national forest. Most of the planting being done this year is on areas from which Jfinber has been harvest ed recently by patch-cutting. In some instances broadcast scattering of tree seed is substi tuted for tree planting. Douglas fir seed-scattering by airplane Is planned forQ200 acres near (-Vliddle Fork of Rogue river where forest fires occurred in September. Seed is treated with 70 rodent repellent to protect it Txom mice and other seed-eating rodents. 0 More Economical Costs of seed protection from rodents, and other causes of tree crop failure, make it more economical in many instances to grow the trees in nurseries for hand planting. Scarcity of tree seed also favors the tree planting method. Improved practices have con tributed to survival of up to 500 trees per acre in most local forest areas. Foresters believe about 400 young trees per acre will assure a satisfactory future crop if well spaced. Portions of patch-cut or burn ed areas often reproduce natur ally from seed produced by sur rounding uncut trees, especially along south and west borders, or steeper slopes below the un cut timber stands. Planting or artificial seeding is done in areas where natural seeding cannot be expected to produce a new crop naturally within reasonable time limits.

Vacationer Has Rough Time Changing $1,000 Bill in Miami Beach Resort Spots Miami Beach U.R) An elec trical engineer from St. Louis complained today that you can't have much fun in a tourist spot if someone calls" the police every time you flash a S1.000 bill. "This is a fine thing," said Thomas McGinnis, 31. "You'd think in Miami Beach where all the money floats around, a man could change a 1,000 bill with out having the cops jump all over him." Detectives picked up McGin nis in a night club where he was trying to cash the bill. Officers said McGinnis had been going from one night spot to another unsuccessfully trying to cash the greenback. "This is no racket," McGinnis said. "I'm insulted. When the bartenders declined to cash the bill, I paid them with a few small bills I had on me." But McGinnis wasn't as eager to surrender the bill to police who booked him on a charge of vagrancy and held him, of course, on 1,000 bond. McGin nis held onto the banknote and called a bondsman to get him out of jail. "If I'd given it to the police, I'd be stuck with 34 in cash and you can't live on that in a tour ist spot," he said. Police checked McGinnis' story that he had been given the money by a friend when he set out to Florida to get a divorce. They found the money was good. McGinnis still must go before a judge Wednesday to answer the charges filed against him. But a detective said, "confi dentially, there's nothing to hold him on."

(U.R) If little3 Mary starts dating before you think she's ready, don't get angry she's just reflecting a happy home life. . After studying the relation ship between a child's environ- ment and his inclination toward the opposite sex, Dr. Judson T.' Landis, University of California sociologist, said that a youngster from a pleasant home will start dating earlier, have more dates and will be general more suc cessful in boy-girl relations. u The doctor also said there is a distinct association between a youth's dating habits and the marital happiness of his parents. "The child of a successful mar riage," he explained, "lives with a man and woman who have de veloped good feelings toward the opposite sex.
