Forestry Project Growing in County MENOMONIE. A total of trees will be planted by farmers in Dunn county this spring to control erosion and utilize land suitable onlv for tree growth, Helmer Anderson, district forester with the Soil Conservation service in Menomonie has revealed. About 90 farmers are planting s-helterbelta to control wind erosion and 'are establishing plantations on worn out, gullied lands or lands too steep for any other use, he added. Shelterbelts are usually being planted by using plows, thereby saving much hand labor.

Steep lands are furrowed on the contour and the trees planted in the furrow by hand, he continued. Trees are obtained through cooperation with the soli service from the soil conservation service-nursery at Winona and from the state nursery at Wisconsin Rapids, according to Andersen. Trees should arrive early this spring due to the unseasonable warm weather and they will be distributed from several places throughout the county. At these distribution centers planting methods will be demonstrated and care of trees, before and after planting, will be discussed. Society SHAFER-MALONE Miss Doloris Shafer and Lt.
