Western Tree Planting

Something should be done to supply timber
for the future. The demand constantly, in.
creases, and it puzzles calculation TO think
how great il will be fifty years hence. Sixty
six trades depend on wood, and could . sub
sttute be found mechanical industry must be
reorganized before it could be used. Of ev.
cry description OF raw material, modern civ
ilizatlon Is 81 enormous consumer. Ourpeo-
pie are spreading over the face of the whole
land, and they destroy the timber wherever
CO. 1t is a great question how to preserve
and renew our forests. Last winter Congress
granted to company in Kansas large body
of land to plant with trees. Other compa-
nies wish grants for the same purpose but 1t
is doubtful whether all the details are fore
seen. The question is not whether trees will
grow, or even what kinds will for III Western
regions, Eve hundred miles from chesnut for
ests, the chesnut tree, for instance, grows
like corn. To plant largely requires large
sums. The ground must be cultivated, aud
for nearly twenty years there can be no re.
turns. is true part may be in nursery,
but nurseries are nothing new. Then the
plantation must be fenced and the best fence
is the Usage orange; but this too for time
must be fenced for preservation. To fence
forty acres OF prairie, when lumber Is cheap>
est, will cost ten dollars acre. To carry
out the plan on scale large and varied,
seems too great task for private means. At
present sufficient capital for such purpose is
very scarce, and the work 10 leit entirely TO
the General Government and to the States
These two great proprietors own most of the
land ~hereon it is necessary that we should
protect against the axe and torch Of the pio-
neer reserve of timber for the future use of
this rapidly growing country. To preserve
what forests we have Is not enough. We
much reach the art hv which the crowded es
tates OF the Old World have, in eoasidera-
bic measure, managed 10 obtain their timber
supply. The enactment Of intelligent and
practical laws by every State owning large
tmbe- lands would 90 far 10 save them from
exhaustion.
