Two adjoininjr areas, one fenced, of one acre each, were laid out on the west side of the Clearfield-Penfield road, in Pine ToAvnship, one-fourth mile north of the Clearfield State Forest Tree Nursery. The area is in open brush land and prior to plantinjr was cleared of all brush and debris. The species planted were red pine transplants, Japanese larch, Scotch pine, and white spruce in mixture. When examined on May 22, 1929, tlie establishment was 95 per cent on the fenced acre and 97 per cent on the unfenced acre. When reexamined April 80, 1980, the trees on the fenced acre had been damag:ed to the extent of 10 per cent by frost and wijiter-kill. On the unfenced acre 90 per cent of the trees were dead or missinjr, apparently as a result of deer damajre. The remaininj; 10 |)er cent, ])rincipally Japanese larch, had been nipped by deer but showed sijrns of life.
