REFORESTATION LUMBER CARGOES
OUTLOOK GOOD ARE HEAVY FOR
Redwood Seedlings Doing
Nicely in Humboldt Co.
California
Redwood reforestation activities
in Humboldt county are well under
way. as a new crop of seedlings has
been started in the nursery, and at
this time they are well beyond the
cotyledon stage and growth is rapid.
The percentage of seod vitality has
been proven to be above the aver
age, and with the advent of the
planting season in November it is
expected that two million young
redwoods, beside several thousand
Douglas fir. Sitka spruce and Port
Ortord cedar seedlings will be ready
for field planting.
During the past winter the mem
bers of the Humboldt Redwood Re
forestation association have planted
495,650 redwood, I'ort Orford.ce
daT and Sitka spruce seedlings on
21S6 acres of cut-over redwood
lands. The late spring rains, to
gether with the high average rain
fall of this season, which was be
tween 40 and 50 inches, haTe done
much to assure a high survival per
centage of planted stock. Sample
plot studies have shown that less
than 12 per cent of loss for all
species has -resulted from removal
and planting in the field. Rodents
have not attacked tho young sprouts
as seriously as during the two ex
tremely dry seasons prior to this
year." This is probably due to 'the
fact that contrasting succulence of
the yonng seedling is les3 pro
nounced in comparison to the herb
age in the immediate vicinity.
Seeding and nursery .ork has
been greatly facilitated by the use
of a seeding machine, which was
constructed by W. II. Wirt, superin
tendent of the nursery. The ma
chine can be adjusted to broadcast
of drill sowing. An attached roller
packs the seed firmly Into the scil.
after which a Use sand layer Is
sprinkled over them. The sand
prevents the argillaceous soil from
checking and cracking and also
furnishes a light top soil through
which the seedlings may easily
penetrate. Weed growth also seems
less pronounced In this sand cover,

46 automobiles and two crates of

Five vessels of the American Orient
al line, the West Kader, West Niger.
West Jena, West Nomentum and

consisted of hemp, copra, sugar and

CALIFORNIA 1M. SITUATION
It is estimated that approximately
one-fifth of California's box shook
requirements had been placed by
the end of May, which . means a
total of something Ilka 100 million
feet out of a normal demand of
S00 to 600 million feet per annum.
It is generally agreed that busi

has been done at a price approxi
mately tl per thousand feet less

On tho whole, It Is felt that good
