More than 3200 small forest trees have been planted on 17 different Utah County farms during the past three years according to a report from Paul M. Dunn, forester for the Utah Extension service. Last minute figures Indicate this number num-ber will be exceeded In 1933, as more than 4700 trees have been ordered for planting this year. These trees have been' set out in shelterbelts and woodlots in eight different communities of the county, coun-ty, and were obtained from the forest for-est nursery maintained at the Utah State Agricultural college for the purpose of furnishing Utah farmers planting stock at a low cost. Nearly Near-ly all of the areas previously planted plant-ed were examined by Anson B. Call, county agent, and Mr. Dunn this p&st summer, and the report indicates in-dicates quite a good growth and survival, especially for the hardwoods. hard-woods. Under most farm conditions, the hardwoods will grow faster, prove to be hardier and more useful than the conifers. The latter require: water later in the fall, and some shelter from the sun to give best results. A two-row shelterbelt on the state hospital farm at Provo, containing Russian olives and Siberian Si-berian elms, within three years, has j reached a height of over 10 and 16 j feet for the respective trees. Utah county offers good soil, : moisture and elevatlonal conditions j for tree growth, said Mr. Dunn, and the only limiting factor to good j results with tree planting is the cultivation and the irrigation that . is given after planting. Recommended Recom-mended kinds include: green ash, Siberian elm, black locust, honey locust, Russian olive, Siberian pea ; tree, black walnut, and golden will- ow for the hardwoods. The coni-j fers are. blue spruce, arborvitae, Scotch pine, ponderosa pine and Austrian pine. Any quantity of the suggested kinds may still be obtained for |
