Order Forest Trees Now for 1942 Spring Planting
Farmers in the Fento soil conservation district and southeast Livingston district are urged to order trees now to reforest eroded or idle land. Early orders reduce risk of sold out varieties and wrong sizes. Michigan State College Forestry and State Department of Conservation sell trees at production cost, about 3 to 7 dollars per thousand, with order blanks from these departments or the county agent. Delivery is expected around April 15. Planted pines four to eight inches tall can begin erosion control and enhance farm beauty and value over time.
