Noticing a mention of the success of tree
planting experiments along the line of the
Fort Scott IL Gulf railroad reminds US that
the ST. Paul Il Pacific company, under Gen.
Becker's management, was pioneer in tree
planting and made its experiments on q
large scale. A report on the results, if the
trees then planted along the right of way
have been taken care of, would be both in
teresting and valuable.
