TREES IN CHINA

Tree planting in northern China Is
being strnuously enjoined by the au-
thorities, not only as productive in
lustry for the people, but alike as
means of strengthening the river en-
bankments against foods and of check
ing drought. Of late years, says Golden
Penny, trees have been cut down by
wholesale for agricultural purposes,
while the peasants do not take the
trouble to plant fresh ones, because the
soil is so loose that they must dig down
very deep for a satisfactory foothold.
So vast tracts Of fertile land are left
barren, while in che northern provinces
especially the influx of sand carried by
high winds from the Mongolian deserts
threatens to fill up the unoccupied
ground. ~
