('■ 1 V.V ~ « , A l l ■ IOBED CABS FOB SURVIVAL IdSMt year a record-breaking number of tree seedlings were planted on farms In N. C. Nur sery orders for this spring Indi cate that even more will be plant ed this year. - John Qray, in charge of forest ry for the N. g. Agricultural Ex tension Service reminds owners of these new woodlands that a certain amount of care is needed to protect their investment. Most | species of trees nged to be culti vated for several years after planting; and all need some pro tection from fire, insects and dis ease, and wild and domestic ani ' mala. I County farm agents and local foresters are the best sources of • information about how to deal with local- problems and how to care for particular species of trees in any locality. State and Federal programs under which a great majority of seedlings are being planted provide for such technical'help. ‘ • Where planted trees can be reached easily with a cultivator, cultivation for two or three years after planting will get' them off to a good start and reduce losses, .says Gray. Slash and loblolly pine are exceptions, since cultivation encourages development of fusi form ruse on trunks. In most cas es rank weed growth will over top and smother newly planted trees. As trees 'begin to establish themselves and cultivation is dis continued, weeds, grass and brush along the edges of fields and aloirg roadsides should be cut or grazed before they dry up, and during long dry spells it may be wise to keep out hunters and oth er visitors. Local foresters may advise plowing firebreaks 4 to 6 feet wide to keep out grass fires. Diseases and insects destroy more timber than fire. Much of this loss can be avoided by giv ing trees sufficient care to keep them growing vigorously. Any forest owner whose trees are being damaged seriously should promptly consult his county agent or local forester for, f jadvice about specific control measures J Hbl •JSraSj “V »Wi » ..V. mi (i if,.
