Washington, D. C., July 28.—The 
U. S. Department of Agriculture is 
using this year on the National For- 
ests over ten tons of tree seed. Most 
of this seed has already been planted 
or sown. The rest will be utilized 
later in the season, as favorable con- 
ditions are presented. 
It takes a great many tree seeds to 
make ten tons.- Jack pine, the most 
important tree for planting in the 
Nebraska sand hills by the Forest 
Service, will average something like 
123,000 to the pound. Of Western 
yellow pine, the tree most extensive- 
ly planted throughout the National 
Forests as a whole, 10,000 seed will 
make a pound. Altogether the ten 
tons of seed to be used this year rep- 
resent perhaps 300 million single 
seeds. 
If every seed could be depended 
on to produce a young tree suitable 
for planting, the result would be a 
supply of nursery stock sufficient to 
plant three hundred thousand acres 
of land, but no such result can be

looked for because many seeds do 
not germinate. Most of the seed will 
be sown, either broadcast or in seed 
spots, or planted with a corn-planter, 
directly in the place where the trees 
are to stand. 
Even when nursery stock is raised 
a liberal allowance must be made for 
loss. In the first place, a consider- 
able percentage of the seeds will be 
found to be infertile. Of those 
which germinate, many will die be- 
fore they leave the nursery beds, and 
many more will be lost in transplant- 
ing. If from a pound of Western 
yellow pine seed that contains 10,- 
000 individual seeds, 4,000 three- 
year-old transplants are available for 
field planting, the Department of 
Agriculture has obtained  satisfac- 
tory results. 
There are now twenty-four Nation- 
al Forest nurseries with an annual 
productive capacity of over eight 
million seedlings. But there are 
many millions of old burns’ on 
the National Forests which are 
waiting to be restocked, and some 
quicker and cheaper method than 
the actual planting of nursery- 
grown trees is urgently needed. 
Therefore the foresters are making 
experiments on a large scale with
