Experimental Tree Growth Studies of the Marathon Corporation

Our object in tree growth studies is to assist in the development of trees which will produce the largest possible amount of suitable fibre per acre per year. To achieve this objective, a program has been set up to test (1) hybrids, (2) trees from selected parentage, and (3) conifer and the broadleaf trees common and native to this area.
