Hundreds of Thousands of Cottonwoods Shipped to Southwest
About 150000 young cottonwood trees healed along the Republican river were loaded into a Rock Island car and shipped to Childress Texas for distribution across the southwest. Crews in Republic and Cloud Counties dug and healed 776300 trees for the U S Forest Service, with 362350 loaded last week for Texas planting. Foremen Lyman Calahan and Howard Shelley directed the effort as weather permits further digging and shipments.
