Record Planting of Commercial Tree Seeds

A, record planting of 12,000,000 commercial tree seeds has been completed at the Forest Industries Tree Nursery, Nisqually, Washington, Earl McDermitt, nursery superintendent, announced this week.

By fall, McDermitt said, the nurSery rvill have produced an estimated 8,000,000 seedlings, largest crop in the sixyear history of the nursery. The seedlings are to be planted on privately-owned areas in Washington and Oregon which have been denuded by fire.

Ninety per cent of the seeds were Douglas fir, the remainder being divided among spruce, Port Orford cedar, Noble fir, Silver fir and Shasta fir.

The seedlings will be suffrcient to plant 15,000 to 20,000 acres of land orvned by both lumber and pulp companies, rvhich because of repeated burnings has failed to restock naturally, the superintendent said.

lVlcDermitt emphasized that more than 90 per cent of cut-over timber land' in the Douglas fir region restocks naturally, and that hand-planting is necessary only in rare instances.

The seedlings will be lifted from the nursery beds and planted beginning next November. Five hundred or more seedlings are planted to the acre, and of these approximately 15 reach saw timber size in a minimum of 60 years. Approximately 10,000 man-days of r,vork will be required in the planting of the 8,000,000 seedlings.

The Joint Committee represents the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and the Pacific Northrvest Loggers Association.

Plan to Include Bay \Tindows

That bay windows are perennial favorite rvith home builders is shown anew by a nation-wide survey of home o\^rners conducted by Ponderosa Pine Woodwork. This survey reveals the fact that 32.4/o of those interested in new home planning prefer bay windows.

The popularity of bay rvindorvs is built on a firm basis of utility, millwork experts say. A bay window, for example, greatly increases the apparent size of a room, even though the actual area added is small. Since many new homes will be small in size, bay rvindorvs thus provide a nleans of creating an illusion of more sPace.

Decorators point out that ltay l'indorvs adcl exceptional livability and charm to living rooms, clining roolns and even bedrooms. In m:rny homes, tl.re extra space provided by a bay window is utilized for a u'indorv seat. In other homes, bay windows provide an ideal setting for breakfast or game tables, and are an additional means of "bringing the outdoors in."
