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.

the 1956 revision of the Oregon

allocated.
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."

Early Dating Shows
Happy Home Life
Berkeley, Calif. (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. The child accepts
what he lives with, and there-.
fore has an advantage in estab
lishing the same type of rela
tionship with the opposite sex."
