Plant Trees in Waste Places.
AK. oheersr IN Ne.s England Farmer.


Men are apt to get but half of an
idea and then argue for or against it
from poor standpoint. Those who
have given much thought to the sub
ject are advising that more attention
be given to tree planting. We are
told that there is great danger that our
country will be deforested, that our best
species of trees are being destroyed
and no pains taken to replace them
that the seasons are being changed by
tho cutting off of forests, that streams
are drying up. in summer and floods
causing immense destruction in spring.
Other men tell us that the old farms
are being deserted, mOwings turned to
pastures, and pastures growing up to
wood, and that there are many more
acres of woodland in the country now
than generation or two ago.
Now there is truth in both of these
statements. Nature aims to keep ev-
cry rod of land covered by some form
of vegetation. Let us help not hinder
her. There is a great deal of cheap
wood growing in many of the older
settled portions of the country. Some
of the land our fathers cleared up and
brought under cultivation, should not
have been cleared. 1t is too risky or
too inaccessible for profitable cultiva-
ton.
We should look upon wood as we
look upon any other farm crop. If we
have a tree or an acre of trees ripe for
the harvest, the harvest should begin.
Trees should be cut when in their best
condition for cutting, and before they
begin to depreciate in value from de-
cay. But there is just as much de-
mand for planting as for harvesting.
And there is a choice of soil and loca
ton of trOes. We should put some
kind of trees upon all lands that are
not worth more for other purposes. All
the hill and mountain tops, all the
swampy valleys and all the sO-called
barren plains should be made to pro-
duce crops of trees till the land is
needed more for other kinds of vege-
tatiOn.
Trees OH hill-tops influence the eli
mate favOrably. They break the force
of winds, shed leaves which half hold
back the melting snow and summer
shower, turning the water into the
earth to feed springs instead of being
run directly into swollen streams in
seasons of freshets. On sandy land
they hold the soil and prevent it from
being blown away by every changing
wind.
There are differences in the value of
fruit trees. So there are differences in
the value of trees which furnish us our
lumber and fuel. Let every farmer or
land owner who has single rod of
waste land begin by planting one or
more trees upon it, and a taste will be
formed that will almost oblige one to
continue planting. We know this is
true for we have tried it. Wood may
not be very valuable in all places, but
wood land is better every time than
land that is bleak and bare.
