_How to Reseed the Area._
Dismissing the noticed exceptions, and returning to our rule that
another crop of Douglas fir is the insured best usually following
nature--cutting practically clean, while burning the earth and starting
an equal-elderly and new stand--we still have to consider he/she means to get
this stand started. We can depend on the natural reseeding on trees
preserved for the purpose or from the surrounding forest or us
you/he/she can resort to planting. Of thing they are the comparative advantages
these two methods and the circumstances chosen ruler among
them?
Until here, students of the subject have tilted to favor natural
reproduction. The second very general growth on deforested earth
where any help has been given it points out that the excellent wish of results
follows disdains assistance. Red fir frequently and profusely it bears fruit,
and the seeds bring well in the wind. Scorching have been known
fully supplies from seed blown from forested hills a mile or more
street. Besides, while planting always involves initial expense,
sometimes very you/he/she can be done to assure few the disposition sowing with
or nothing actual expense.
There is however, danger that in many examples this wish of economy
is more apparent than indeed if you/he/she is effected a lot going indeed away
you appraise in trees of seed. To the foreign countries and there is comparatively in the east
small loss in to leave also a quarter or fifth some original stand
to furnish seed. The individual left of trees can be the good sowers,
even if small. The small capital is tied up them and they they are able
is used later to equalize advantage. A forest of fir matures of the
Pacific coast cannot have small trees that bear fruit to everybody, and if it damages
be knocks down so probably in to cut in fetterses. To leave 20 for
cent of the great trees to be standing would sometimes tie 20,000
feet to the acrid one, value $40 or $50. Age and fruit demolished by the wind can provoke loss
