COST OF PLANTING ONTARIO'S SAND LANDS The Ontario Provincial Forest Station lies in Norfolk County, near the north shore of Lake Erie. Here the Provincial Government has ac- quired 1,580 acres of land, all light, sandy soil, for extensive nursery work in reforestation. The seedlings are first grown in carefully screened seed-beds, where the natural conditions of the forest as to light and sunshine are reproduced as nearly as possbile. They usually remain in the seed-beds for two years and are then trans- planted to the nursery lines. The third year they are ready for final planting. Young trees are usually set out from five to six feet apart each way. At five feet apart it takes 1,742 plants to an acre. The estimated cost of white pine transplants is $ a thousand, and the total cost of setting out an acre, 5x5 feet plant- is $ Prior to the war Scotch pine one-year seedlings were imported from Europe, but the Forest Station is now collecting its own seed. CONSERVATIVE LOGGING NOT EXPENSIVE The question is often asked as to how much more it costs to log from purchases of United States national timber because of the methods required. D. C. Birch, forest examiner, dis- cusses this in the Journal of Forestry from studies in the California yellow pine belt. Fixed woods improvements in such timber amount to about $ a thousand feet. The Forest Ser- vice of marking reduces the amount of timber to be taken out about 20 per cent, which results m an extra woods construction cost of about 37|/2 cents a thouscand feet. The care required in felling and logging amounts to about I cent a thousand. Yarding must be more carefully done to avoid damage to standing timber, and 6 cents is allowed for this. The rules require that dead snags be disposed o
