Among the many cervices of
the Department of Forests and
Watcis to benefit the general
public is the operation of a for*
cst tree seedling program for re
foicstation and timber produc*
lien purposes.
"This program provides an es*
timated 15,000,000 seedlings an*
nually for spring planting but un
fortunately.” said Samuel S.
Cobb, Director, Bureau of For
estry, “many residents of the
Commonwealth have the mistak
en opinion that these forest tree
seedlings may be used as orna
mental slock. Such is not the
ease ”
Foicst tree seedlings aie sold
a t a nominal cost but the buyer
must abide by the piovisions of
the Acts of May 5, 1927, P L 817;
as amended by the Act of June
21, 1947, P L 777, as follows.
1 That all foiest tree shrub
and vine seedlings so purchased
shall be planted in Pennsylvania
on the site indicated in the sket
ch attached hereto and made a
part theieof for watershed pro
tection or for wood products;
2 That the trees will not be
sold by the purchaser foi remov
ai from the land until they be
come large enough for use as
wood products:
3 That a report on the plant
ing will be furnished by the
plantei when requested by the
department,
4 That the planted area will be
protected as far as possible from
fae, grazing and trespassing;
5 That the trees, shrubs and
vines will not be planted for
hedges, table trees, potted trees
or for shade or ornamental use;
6 That if such trees, shrubs or
Vines are sold or offered for sale
for ornamental purposes the per
son, partnership or corporation
shall become liable to the Com
monwealth for the payment of a
penalty equal to three times the
sale value of the trees, shrubs or
vines sold.
“Foiest tree seedlings are
grown by the department at four
nurseries,” said Cobb; “Pena
Nursery, near Spring Mills;
Greenwood, near Huntingdon;
the William F Dague Nursery,
m the vicinity of Penfield; and at
Mont Alto ”
“These trees are used for speci
fic purposes with a variety of
side benefits wildlife cover
and watershed protection and
certain species have been found,
thiough years of research, which
generally survive best and grow
to commercial size ”
They include the white pine,
red pine, Austrian pine, pitch
pine, Virginia pine, Norway
spruce, Japanese larch, Euro
pean alder and black locust seed
lings plus hybrid poplai cut
tmgs.
Consequently because of the
very nature of these species,” he
noted, “they are not suited for
and may not be used for orna
mental purposes which includes
Christmas trees ”
Agucultunsts were sweet on
one report this week . honey
pioduction was up sharply in
both the state and nation
U S production reached an
all-time record of 283,268,000
pounds last year, 42 peicent
above the 1968 total. In Pennsyl
vania, the crop totaled 3,348.000
pounds, 9 percent more than in
1968 but short of the state’s rec
ord, according to the State Crop
Reporting Service.
There was sweet news for bee
keepeis, too The wholesale price
of honey in Pennsylvania last
year averaged 18 cents, one cent
more than in the pievious year.
