rev persons comprehend in full

OF forests to farmers. In the humid
portions of America, where nearly
every farm has its wood lot. the total
area of woodland is more than two
hundred million acres. The Division
OF Forestry of the Agricultural De-
partment is prepared to render practi-
cal and personal assistance to farmers
and others by cooperating with them
to establish forest plantations. wood

made and accepted, the superintendent

purpose of this plan is to give helm in
the selection of trees. information in
regard to planting, and instruction in
handling forest trees after they are
planted. In other words, the division
proposes to give such aid to tree plant

horticultural Observations.


Division of Forestry are taking a prac-
teal turn. To determine the best
species of trees for various sections Tor
use as wind-breaks, hedge rows, nurse
trees and shade trees the Department
has planted in the different western
states about thirty plots of forest trees.
The black cherry and Russian mulberry
are found particularly thrifty grow
ers and soft maple, elm and catalpa
also grow we'll and rapidly.
In one of the provinces OF Asia
there are a number of floating ISLANDS
which are wonderful sources OF pro
duction. They float about in placid
lakes of fresh water, their surfaces
standing only few feet above the
water, so that while the top SOIL is
not soggy, perpetual moisture is found
at a little depth and sub-irrigation is
present in its most perfect form. On
these islands melons grow to the high
est perfection and the melons OF Bou-
castan are of great local fame. Irrl-
CATION brings the watermelons to the
greatest excellence, as large supply
of moisture is requisite under expo
sure to an intense heat and light-the
elements which decompose and alter
the fluids of plants and construct from
them sweet and deliciously favored
juices.
Many of the WORKOUT farms In hui
mid regions, says Mr.. Clifford Pinehot,
the government forester, may be
brought back to their original fertil-
ity by growing forest trees upon them
for a series of years, and very many
of them contain land better suited to
the production of wood than to any
other purpose. Such land should new
er have been cleared. Ii is fortunately
true that throughout the regions once
wooded WORKOUT farm lands will
usually revert to their previous condi-
ton if protected from fire and stock.
This result may be very materially
fastened and usually more desirable
species grown if some attention be CIV
en- to forest planting. To the majority
OF people there is nothing else so at
tractiye about home as trees. A well
planted wood lot, in two or three years
after its establishment, will provide
the farmer with a supply of trees to
plant along roads and for ornamental
I purposes about buildings and gardens.
AS the trees in a plantation begin to
crowd each other many may be re-
moved with material advantage to
those that remain, care being taken
not to interfere with the shading Of
the ground. The surperfiuous trees
often pay the cost of cultivation and
care for the plantation after it is once
established.
