GBASSFLAT A pany of high. level foresters, educators and paper manufacturers, representatives from places ss far away as Texas took a grand tour of tree plantings on abandoned strip mines in this area yesterday They were looking at hybrid poplar trees which show promise as a source of fast growing paper wood. Leading the tour Philipsburger W. G.

Jones, long recognized as an expert in the reclaiming of stripped land and who calls himself simply a "tree and B'lair H. Hoover of Morrisdale R. on who's farm a stand of the new trees grows. Mr. Hoover is a soil conservation service director.

The hybrid poplars were developed over a period of many years by crossing standard poplars with species such as aspen and others closely related to the popular. Jones, in cooperation with the U. S. Forest Service, has planted thousands of them and over the years selected those which grow best in the highly acidic soil of stripped land. Yesterday's tour was meant to show -Jie paper manufacturers and the foresters just how good the results are.

The trees os. Mr. Hoover's farm are about 40 feet high. yet only half-a-dozen years old. Another planting nine years old, has trees neariy twice that high.

This phenomenal growth is not unusual for poplars, but it is unusual for poplars planed sr. whose pH somewhere close to 3 5. Mr, Jones said his experiments with the poplars were primarily empiric. Research into the exact mechanism which permits the trees to grow well has been limited. Instead, the tree planters simply tried 263 different type? of hybrids and selected a dozen which grew best.

Several paper a i which have had the same tour in the last several years have already planted the trees on the large land holdings they have- Among them, Mr. Jones says, is Hammerroill Paper Company winch has a stands ia the Emporium area "These fellows today wers quite Jr Jor.es sajd They've invited Mu! to their own forests and offer Inside The Progress How Me Govern Won 2 PhiHpsburg Stew A Fights Rate Boost 8 4 Bishops Named 10 Targets Bombed 14 Indians Win 16 Pirates Beaten 17 Official Vote 22 New Millionaire 24 Area News 6, 7, 12, 14, 19 Church News 8, 13 Classified Ads 20, 21, 22 Comics 10 Deaths 23 Editorial.
