As hoped for, sprouts of young red maple and sassafras developed on the forest floor and were browsed by deer. This proved it is possible to have both heavy deer populations and desirable new forests in the same area After five years the larch were lush gieen and were un harmed by the herbicide The “weed” trees, mostly 50 and 60 year-old low grade oaks of four to eight inches in diameter, died gradually Their branches and bark fell to the forest floor, forming a mulch to enrich the soil and conserve moisture for growing the seedling larch Even at excessively high rates, only insignificant resi dues of the herbicide remained in the soil within five months after application. Of three vari ables used in testing possible residue soil depth, soil tex ture, and heibicide rate only the rate of application appeared significant Dr Shipman indicated pros pects are good for salvaging the debarked trees for pulpwood. He anticipates that large-scale experiments will be undertaken at Penn State with this techni que of using pelleted fenuron to improve timber and wildlife production Call Us Now Manheim, Ephrata and Akron subscribers and ad vertisers can avoid a toll call by calling us through 626- 2191.
