simple operation. 1t may be advan-

But to do this, planting must begin at
once. because the irregular and scat
tered nature of the stand will cause
such naturally planted trees to be

To Prevent Banks Gazing In.
An important section of Mr. Clo-
theirs report is devoted to the prob
lem of preventing the washing OF
river banks by the current, which
has been going on rapidly since the
flood. The report says:
"At many places along the stream
the Hood has left perpendicular banks
of soft soil that are being constantly
undermined by the current, causing
the land to cave into the river from
time to time. 1t is very important
that such places be protected, for
every such caving bank is a menace
to all the land lying back of it in the
valley.
I'm such valley. where the bed of
the stream does not come within
scores of feet of bed rock. the use of
stone structures for protecting the
river banks is very expensive, and at
the same time ineffective. The most
successful method of protecting a sort
alluvial river bank is to make it
sloping instead of perpendicular, and
to keep it covered with vegetation
1.-The willow is admirably adapted
to holding alluvial SOIL IN place 1t
is far more serviceable for this pur-
pose than walls of masonry, and the
facility with which it reproduces itself
tings, both natural and artificial,
makes its use very simple and mex
Densive.
''The great difficulty with planting
any sort of tree on perpendicular
banks is that the caving of the soil
is 50 rapid that the planted tree has
no opportunity to get a start before
it is undermined and precipitated into
the river An excellent scheme has
been proposed by Mr. F. Bayles of
Linwood, Elm. The plan is as fol-
| lows: Green willow poles Is to 20
feet long are secured in the spring,
! just after the ice goes out of the
stream. These poles are laid on the
ground near the bank two feet apart,
with their butts all pointing toward
the river. Woven fence wire is then
stretched along over the poles and
stapled fast to each one. Sections OF
wire about 100 feet long can be han
/ died to best advantage. After the
wire has been securely fastened to the
/ poles, they are all pushed over the
/ bank together, so that the butts of the
/ poles will fall and sink into the soft
mud at the waters edge As the
7 bank caves off some of the falling sol
} viii lodge on the wire, partially bury
/ ing and weighing down the poles
which will consequently strike ROOT
and grow. The wire will serve te
/ hold the mass of willows together un-
til they have become firmly rooted
The ends of the, woven wire should be
4 back over the bank some distance
and fastened to posts set firmly in this
/ ground. The caving and erosion OF
the bank viii soon round on It's TOT

to resist erosion most effectually
Mr.. Clotheir recommends that the trees
be planted at once He says that within
20 years the land will be restored to It's
former state of fertility. During TINS
time continues the report, the growllng
trees will be accommodating a valuable
product, for which there is every prospect
of a good market. Prof Charles T. Bes-
sey of the University of Nebraska main
tains that even for fuel the growth 81
cottonwood timber is a very remunera-
tive business, since the cottonwood is ca
pable of producing more heat units per
acre per annum than any other tree
ada pted to the middle west. The cotton
wood makes a good lumber for dimension
stuff and will attain a size large enough
for sawlogs in &c years
The hardy cataipa on rich soil VIII
produce more fence posts per acre in a
shorter time than any other species Some
catalpa plantations in Kansas have paid
per cent compound interest on thSIand
and labor invested, and SO an acre per
annum net profit, for a period of 70 years.
This is a much greater income than the
average returns from agriculture.
with such prospects in view the owner
of Kansas river valley lands need not feel
discouraged. even though his valuable
farm lands have been rendered temporar-
ilv wort HESS for agriculture.

tive of the United States bureau of for
eStry, department of agriculture, who
made a report to the department con-
corning the damage done to the valley
made a thorough investigation. has
by the flood of May and June, 1903.
Mr.. Clothier divides the damage done
eroded lands; 3, eroded lands subse-
quently siIted; and 4, caving river
banks.
For the eroded lands, and the eroded
lands subsequently covered with a
layer of silt, Mr.. Clothier recommends
the planting of walnut or catalpa
trees.
For lands covered with sand which
comprise the larger portion of dam
aged territory in the valley, Mr..
Clothier says:
LAT least 5000 acres of fertile plow-
land were buried in coarse sand TO
such a depth as to be rendered worth
less for agriculture for many years TO
come. This should receive the first at
tention, for the sands are likely to be
shifted by the winds and deposited on
land that is now fertile. In order to
fix this sand, cottonwood trees should
be planted over it's entire surface this
spring 5000. The flood of 1903 caused
millions of cottOnwOOds to terminate
on fields that We're too wet for cultiva-
! ton. From these natural nurseries may
be obtained all the seedlings needed.
If the planting is delayed until another
year, the seedlings will be too large TO
plant, and the sand will have been
