~GRowINa FoKEsTs.-Timber planting
aud the culture IF forest trees is ~rccriy-
ing considerable attention in Iowa, and
- t:r HE efforts have. been attended
With the m st encouraging success. In
most, if not all, our prairie districts.
both >uil and climate seem well a1apted
to the production of forest trees, and in
order to produce fine groves it is only
necessary to kill out the prairie grass
aud plant the trees Or thu seed. In
many places the growth is Spontaneous,
fine gloves cf indigenous trees springing
mp Oh fallow ground.-This is especially
true of the cottonwood, which houri~hes
Oh all fat prairie ground. w h~e
seen whole forty acre lots covered awith
a thick growth of young ]cott"nwoods,
which sprung up spontaneously the first
year the prairie was turned over. In
deed, it is probable that but for the ex-
ten i've fires hat have swept through
these p~ralries Year after year, much OF
the land would now BIZ covered with
fourishing forests. q
Hard rand soft maple, black walnut
butternur and cottonwo d arc the spe-
cies most used.e Locust was formerly
planted to a considerable extent, and
this tree bears cultivation finely, and
grows vigorously, out it is liable to
wiuter-kill in severe winters, and is
usually dpstroved by worms and insects
before it is large enough for feps,s posts
For these reasons it is now little plant
ed. Enough has been done to prove
that the greatest success will attend the
owing of forest trees on the arairies
and no prairie farmer should fail to plant
as many acres Of frees as will p%erpetually
supply hisaefarm with wood auc
