CREATING FORESTS,
rRnEs TO BH PLANTED IN CAL
uoRM1A BIZ GOVERNMENT.
Large Areas Of Land WIN Do RSn'
dsrod Productive BY Reforest-
ing and Extendve
Irrigation.

California and other western states
have proved tho efiicacy Of irrigation
In promoting agriculture, but there are
millions Ct acres Of fertile land un-
used through lack Of SUFFICIENT water.
Much Of this land viii be reclaimed
BY the gigantic irrigation works plan
ned by the national government, but
the scope Of this work Is limited by
the amount Of water available. The
influence of forests in conserving a
limited rainfall Is recognized, but they
are often wanting where most need
ed. Thus forest planting 10 OFTEN
necessary.
An example of what the bureau OF
forestry Is doing In this direction Is
furnished by the nursery which 1t is
establishing 16 miles from Santa Bar
bara, In Southern California. This is
the fourth forest nursery which the
bureau has established within west
ern forest reserves. Nowhere in Call
fornia is water needed southeast OF
Santa Barbara. To cover large areas
with new tree growth. however, In
regions where the forest can not
naturally restore itself. Is q dificult
matter. Unless great care ID used In
the selection Of species and in the
cultural methods employed. the work
is likely to prove failure. Methods
which would succeed on a small plan
tation are impracticable on large
scale ON account of the expense.
The nursery in the Santa Barbara
reserve will be planted with seed OF
trees likely TO flourish In that region
Coulter and yellow pine will be most
largely planted. The seedlings Will be
ready to transplant to their permanent
| locations two years hence.
The first attempt at reforesting VIII
| be made on the upper watershed Of
the Santa Ynez river, which supplies
the town Of Santa Barbara with water
This town Of only 10000 inhabitants IL
spending 100000 to SECURE goot
water supply. A dam and reservoir
for this purpose are now under con
struction. The Santa YneE watershed
is now bare or poorly covered witt
chaparral. A good forest growth II
necessary both to conserve the watel
and to prevent the washing down o
silt, which II unchecked woult
eventually fill and ruin the reservoir.
The success Of the transplantinl
will depend largely upon the season
In excessively dry years good result
can not be expected, and the bureau
must take advantage Of a wet season
Preparations for the transplantint
will be begun Immediately, 80 tina
quick work can be done the first favor
abIg season after the seedlings ar
old enough.
In the whole Of the Santa Barbar'
forest reserve, which contains nearl!
two million acres, there are only tw'
groves Of any size. There is, there
fore, large opportunity for the ez
tension of the work Of tree planting
| II II proves successful
In Nebraska the bureau Of forestr'
has demonstrated its ability to solv
the same kind Of difficulties witt
which It is confronted in California
and has successfully established fores
plantations at an extremely low cost
| hit can DO the same in Southern Ca
iforuia II will be an important worl
} for the welfare Of the region.
