Show Forester Reports Trees Set Out On Farms In Washington County Approximately 10,100 small forest trees have been planted on Washington Wash-ington county farms, during the past 10 years for windbreaks and woodlot purposes, according to J. Whitney Floyd, extension forester for the Utah Extension service at Logan. These trees, which were planted on 24 different areas within the county, were obtained from the foerst nursery maintained by the Utah State Agricultural college for the purpose of supplying planting stock to Utah farmers at a low cost. About 12 different kinds of trees have been planted in this county, but the predominate predomi-nate species have been Siberian elm, blue spruce, Russian olive, green ash, honey locust, and golden willow. Several well established three windbreaks have already been planted in Washington county. Homes and raiches throughout the county woud be benefited by tree plantings Mr. Floyd said. The shipping season will start approximately the first of April this year, and trees of the suggested sug-gested species may still be purchased pur-chased from the college nursery at Logan at price? averaging about SI. 50 per hundred, which includes the cost of shipping. Already Al-ready approximately 8.000 trees have been ordered for 1910 planting plant-ing to date, Mr. Floyd said. Order blanks or other tree planting information may be obtained ob-tained from Anson B. Call Jr., county extension agent at St. George or by writing to the Extension Ex-tension service at Logan. |
