WASHINGTON, D.C. - Tree
planting is growing on landowners
in the United States.

planted to trees, more than in any
previous year, R. Max Peterson,
chief of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Forest Service,
announced recently.
That’s more than five times the
acreage planted 35 years ago,
Peterson said.
The forest industry led the way,
planting more acres than than all
other ownerships combined - 56
percent, even though it owns only
14 percent of the commercial
forest land. Non-industrial private

tree planting on private land
through cooperative efforts with
state foresters under our State and
Private Forestry programs,”
Peterson said.

acres, nonindustnal private forest
owners have shown the largest
percentage increase in the past 10

Today’s record-breaking pace
makes earlier major tree planting
efforts pale by comparison. The
Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)
planted 21/3 million acres to trees
over a 10-year period in the 1930’s
and early 1940’5. The Conservation

more than two million acres in the
late 1950’s and early 1960’5.
“The record tree planting today
is based on the realization that
growing trees is not only an ef
fective land stewardship action,”
Peterson said, “but is a profitable
investment as well.”
Morrow, director, Animal
Nutrition Supplements. IsoPlus
was shown to increase milk
production in dairy cows by up to 4-
6 pounds per cow per day.
“Prior to the Michigan field
trials we had tested IsoPlus ex
tensively in several universities
throughout the country,” ex
plained Morrow. “However, before
releasing it commercially we
wanted to evaluate it in actual on
farm trials. Therefore we set up
the 54 trials under all kinds of
management practices and
feeding programs. The field trials
confirmed the university fin
dings.”
IsoPlus is a combination of four
volatile fatty acids found naturally
in the cow’s rumen. These acids
improve digestive efficiency of the
cow. IsoPlus causes no side effects
or milk residues and is not a drug.
Because of the trial successes,
Eastman Chemicals will expand
its staff to market IsoPlus. Three
district marketing managers will
direct 10 marketing represen
tatives in IsoPlus distribution to
major dairy states east of the
Rockies. An account manager has
been appointed to serve the
California market.
Also, Eastman Chemicals plans
expansion of operations at Texas
Eastman Company in Longview,
TX where IsoPlus is presently
manufactured in developmental
quantities. The expansion is to
meet future demands of national
and international markets.
Eastman Chemicals plans to
break ground July 1 for its new
multi-million dollar research
facility in Washington County, TN.
When completed in the summer of
1986 the research facility will in

including 100 dairy cows, as well as
a feed mill and a feedlot to ac

production. Shrinkage and loss and

Most of the potato stocks
reported by Pennsylvania growers
are seed potatoes for the 1985 crop.
