Excerpt from Forest Planting in the Intermountain Region The exact time of the ripening of the cones depends somewhat on the species, the season, and the locality. By September 15 to 20 the squirrel caches are usually fairly well filled, and the gathering of cones should begin about that time. If delayed to a much later date, snow and cold weather may make the work disagreeable and ex pensive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Forest Planting in the Northeastern and Lake States While the need for tree planting has not been felt in New England and the Lake States as keenly as in the treeless West, large areas of land within this region are fit only for forest growth. From an economic standpoint it is important that these lands should be put into a state Of productiveness. Extensive forest planting has thus far been somewhat discouraged by present methods of taxation and in part Of the region by the difficulty in securing adequate protection from fire. The true value of forest land and its rightful place among the permanent resources of the State are, however, becoming recognized, and an enlightened public sentiment is rapidly making this form of investment safe and profitable.

Excerpt from Forest Planting in the Lake States The land in need of reforestation to which this bulletin applies (fig. Lies in the northern two-thirds of the States of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. It includes the area north of a line from Saginaw Bay, in Michigan, westward through Sheboygan, Wis, thence northwestward through St. Croix Falls, lwis, to Wadena, Minn, and northward to Thief River Falls and the Canadian bound ary. This is the region from which the famous white pine lumber of the Lake States came, and which more recently has produced and continues to produce a large quantity of sugar maple, eastern hem lock, basswood, yellow birch, beech, spruces, balsam fir, and jack pine. It does not include the southern parts of the three States, where oaks, hickories, and maples are the characteristic trees usually occurring as small woodland areas on farms. The planting prob lems of the southern area of the Lake States are not the same as those of the north; they have already been covered to some extent in several published reports 6, 13, 14, 32, 33, 34, 38, 60, 6-5, 68, 69, The climate, topography, and soil, although varying locally, are for the region as a whole comparably uniform. The precipitation ranges from about 25 inches annually in parts of lower Michigan and western Minnesota to 40 inches in northwestern Wisconsin. For most of the region it is between 30 and 35 inches annually, of which 20 to 25 inches falls during the growing season from April 1 to September 80. The snowfall increases northward and is noticeably heavier and remains on the ground longer in the region of Lake Superior and in northern Minnesota than elsewhere in the region.

Excerpt from Growing Trees for Forest Planting in Montana and Idaho Roads are needed through the nursery. It is best to determine those of primary importance and make them permanent from the start. These should be parallel to the edges of the beds to conform to the general ground plan. Secondary roads, roads which. May be needed to reach certain parts of the nursery in one year and not in another, may be merely blank strips left in the compartment be tween seed beds or transplant rows, and later plowed at the same time that the ground on either side is plowed. The entire nursery should be inclosed with good, substantial fencing. Seed-bed areas should be especially well guarded against trampling by animals. Hog-wire fencing will exclude dogs, sheep, and animals of like size, but is no hindrance to rabbits. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
