PLANTING NEW FORESTS.

From the time the first settlers
came to America there has been a
continuous war on the forests. The
pioneer has carved out his home in the
wooded districts, and the lumberman
has his large share in clearing the
land Of trees. It is only within recent
years that the people have come to
appreciate the forested areas at their
true value, and of late the govern
ment has been looking toward their
preservation. Now a movement has
been started not only to preserve the
present area, but to enlarge it by
planting new forests in some of the
waste lands in the United States. AL
ready extensive preparations have
been made for the starting of new
timbered district in the Nebraska
sand hills, and::this will no doubt be
followed by similar movements over
large sections which are worthless to
the farmer and the stockman.
