as a consequence 1t had no timber, at
least. a large portion OF it, and when IT
was surveyed by the governments
agents they reported it as "barren-un-
III for civilization" Since its settle
ment by the whites, however, all of the
land not put to cultivation put up vol
untary growths Of timber, and some of
1t is as densely wooded now as any of
the original forest sections. The same
results would follow in this section in
time, but we cannot afford to wait the
action Of nature in this instance; we
can secure much quicker growth of
trees by planting them, which should
be done by all where needed.
