Area  I  acre.  Spring  191 1,  4-year  transplants  of  Scotch  pine  and
3-year  seedlings  of  mountain  pine  planted  in  alternate  rows,
spacing  6x6  feet.  A  large  per  cent,  of  the  latter  died  from

was  a  complete  failure.  Spring  1908,  blanks  filled  with  2  and
3-year  Scotch  pine  seedlings.  Rapid  growing  Scotch  pine  should
be  able  to  catch  up  with  white  pine  and  form  good  mixed  forest
