SeedsSown for Record Crop Of Douglas Fir Seedlings

Nisqually, Wash.-Forestry history was made here recently on famed Nisqually flats when seeds u,'ere sown at the west's largest tree nursery for a record crop of Douglas fir seedlings estimated at 10.6 million trees. These seedlings are being raised for planting on private timberlands of rvestern Washington and Oregon. With the output this year, the nursery will have grown 55 million baby trees since its founding in 1941.

In eleven years, the cooperative Forest Industries Tree Nursery has produced enough trees to plant 100,000 acres of Douglas fir tree farms.

But, C. S. Martin, Tacoma, chairman of the industry's nursery committee which operates the potent baby tree {actory, emphasized that for every nursery tree planted, ren new trees are naturnllv gro\\rn from seed trees left by loggers. Nature is still our chief forester, he said.

The first crop of seedlings produced at Nisqually came off this rich bottom land in 1942, Martin pointed out, and .'ven during the labor-short war years, a substantial output was maintained. Forecasts made by Corydon Wagner, president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, 11 years ago that the nursery *oLtd grow five million trees each year, have been attained, Martin said. We are mighty proud of our continuous record of service to the forest economy of the Pacific Northwest through our planting z.ctivities, he stated.

The nursery is operated by the Industrial Forestry Association, whose chief forester, W. D. Hagenstein, is also nursery manager. N. E. Bjorklund is assistant manager i'nd Rex Eide is nurseryman;

About 14.3 million seedlings will be grown at Nisgually this year, Hagenstein observed. The 1952 planting now nearing completion will .produce 10.6 million trees. Held over from last season are 3.7 million trees which will be two years old this winter when shipped. Also ready for winter lifting and shipping will be five million yearold trees from the current crop. In some areas two-yearold trees have the best survival record, while year-old stock does well elsewhere.
