Forest Nurseries 



Two forest nurseries are maintained, one at Big 

 Trout Lake, Vilas county, and the other at Toma- 

 hawk Lake, Oneida county. The nursery at Big 

 Trout Lake contains approximately 8 acres, and has 

 an annual average output of 1,000,000 trees. The 

 average cost of raising the young trees of all species 

 including everything value land, clearing, fencing, 

 seed, salaries, labor, depreciation, etc., is as follows: 



1 year seedlings $ .78 per thousand 



2 year seedlings .90 per thousand 



2 year transplants 1.72 per thousand 



The Tomahawk Lake nursery was started in the 

 spring of 1914, and will produce its first planting 

 stock in 1916. It contains 3 acres and the annual 

 output will be between 400,000 and 500,000 trees. 

 It is expected that the cost of producing the trees 

 will be approximately the same as at the Trout 

 Lake nursery.
