The statement was made dur ing a tour held in connection with the 60th anniversary cele bration of the School of For est Resources at Penn State. William E. Sopper, associate professor of watershed man agement, said streamflow from forested lands runs off more rapidly in the Spring than streamflow from agricultural lands. Dr. Sopper and Dr. Howard W. Lull, adjunct professor of forestry, U.S. Forest Service, showed clear-cut areas where they are experimenting to find the best combinations of for est and non-forest land to con trol annual Winter-Spring run off and create a more uniform streamflow. These forestry scientists said the Winter-Spring runoff in forested areas starts later and moves more rapidly than run off in non-forested areas.

Their statements were based on eight years of re search in the experimental wa tersheds at Stone Valley and 17 years of streamflow analy sis from watersheds through out Pennsylvania. Snow is held under forest cover longer than on non-for ested lands, they pointed out. The longer the snow remains, the higher the probability of rain falling on the snow, ac companied by warmer tempera tures. This combination causes a rapid release of snow, they explained. Beginning date of the high ly concentrated flow period is about January 24 for non-for ested areas and about Febru ary 12, or three weeks later, for the forested watersheds. Mary A. Rosenberger Asst.
