Dr. Hans yan Buijtenen, AAM ailvkulturiat, says he’s not lure if such growth la some kind of n record for common-type trees, but it’s plenty fast The forester didn’t'" nee hor mones or other way-out scienti fic methods. Instead, they relied on selection of growing stock, fertilisation, irrigation and a deep, high quality soil. The trees grew from 18-inch cuttings planted in rows on five seres of rich Brazos bottom land —land that is usually put in ex perimental crops of such cash kings aq cotton and grain sor- gham. Why cottonwoods and why grow them on such choke farm • land? A slick, lightereight paper highly desirable for magasines can be produced by adding the cottonwood to the fiber mixture The AAM project is in coopera tion witii the U. S. Plywood- Champion ^aifurs Inc., whkh makes much of the paper used by several nationally distributed magasines. Lightweight paper means greater savings in mail com, because cottonwoods don’t cotton to competition from weeds. Neither do they* grow out well on forest land when competing with other trees.

So far, the five-acre plot looks marginal at far as economics are concerned, vah Bui says, but much remains to bo seen. “If we get leas than two or s three cords par acre, the effort - probably wont be worth it,” the silviculturist added. “Champion would liko to see us get four to five cords to the acre.” Using stock selected on the basis of nursery performance, the cottonwoods were planted in ' light Miller Clay in March, 1988. By summer’s end that year, the saplings reached 12 to 17 foot in height • At the end of the second grow ing season (1987), heights of'up to 84 foot and average diameter* of 3.7 inches at cheat height wore found. 71m trees are now SO to 40 foot high, and trunk diameters are averaging five inches. T Van Buijtenen believes that the first pulpwood will be ready for cutting in a year or tiro, . when trees removed for thinning will be pulpwood sise. In the beginning, 2,000 cuttirw* with 10 different selections were planted on the five acres. Row spacing* were 10, 12, and 14 fact, with plants I, 8 and 7 fast apart.
