This timber will soon be made accessible by 

 the railroad rhioh the Verdi Lumber Company rill construct 

 to Sierraville and \7ill be en rttractive pulpwood proposi-

 rill furnish definite data for a future eele. 



In February Forest Assistants Gallcher and 

 commenced work on a etudy of second ^rov/th Yellow 

 Pine for the purpose of ascertaining the volume of stands 



of different ages and predicting future growth. The 

 rcfid :rrowth end hifrh yield of Yellow Pine timber on out- 

 ovor areas about Hevcda City indicate that "woo<?lot" manage- 

 ment here may be as profitable as in the second ^rorrth White 

 Pino stands of the Dest. It is ?lcnnec". to obtain definite 

 detn on the best methods of treating thece strnds rnci the 

 yield to be o:rpected. 



In the planting work which was completed last 

 Pall end this Winter about 90 acres rere sown with Yellow 

 and Jeffrey Pine seed, 40 acres rere sown with 3u<$er Pine, 

 and 35 acres rere planted with two yerr old Yellow Pine 

 seedliTigs. The oujar Pine seed was so^-n near Forks House 

 in the Foresthill District; twenty ceres near True'.ceo rere 

 sown rith Jeffrey Pino; and the reaeincer of the ror'c, with 

 tta' exception cf some snail experiments wes done r.t *ook 

 Creek. Corn planters rare tried experimentally in eooding 

 Yellow Pine and were found to increase the speed of the 

 work oonsidorably on favorable sites. 



About two acres rere eo-n with Western -hite 

 Pine seed near the Horse 3;.oe 3ond Ccmp of the Cro-~n Colum- 

 bia Paper Company at en elevrtion of 7,000 foet. As an 

 experiment about one acre in a awcmpy corner along *'.oo": 

 Creek was sorn with the Bald Cypress of the South.
