CREATING NEW FORESTS.
A Forest Nursery Located in the
Santa Barbara Reserve.

California and other Western States
have proved the efficacy of irrigation in
promoting agriculture. but there are mil
lions of acres of fertile land unused
through lack OF sufficient water Much
OF this land will be reclaimed by tho
gigantic irrigation works planned by tho
national government. but tho scope OF
this work is limited by the amount OF
water available The influence of forests
in conserving a limited rainfall is rccog-
nizcd. but they are often wanting where
most needed Thus forest planting is
often necessary
An example of what the bureau Of
forestry is doing in this direction is fur
nished by the nursery which 1t is estab-
fishing * miles from Santa Barbara, in
southern California. This is the fourth
forest nursery which the bureau has
established within Western forest reserves.
Nowhere in California is water needed
more than in the coast plain east and
southwest OF Santa Barbara. To cover
large areas with now tree growth, how
ever, in regions where the forest cannot
naturally restore itself. Is a difficult mat
ter. Unless great care is used IN the
selection of species and in tho cultural
prove failure. Methods which would
succeed on a small plantation are i'm
practicable on a large scale on account of
the expense.
The nursery In the Santa Barbara re-
servo 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
teir inn
two years hence.
The first attempt at reforesting Will be
made on the upper watershed Of tho
Santa Yncz river. which supplies the
town OF Santa Barbara with water. This
town of only 5000 inhabitants is spend
ing 5000, 600 to secure good water sup
ply. A dam and reservoir for this pur-
pose arc now under construction. Tho
Santa Ynez watershed is now bare or
poorly covered with chaparral. good

serve the water and to prevent the wash.
ing down of silt. which II unchecked
would eventually I'LL and ruin the rcser-
vOir.
The success of the transplanting will
depend largely upon the season. In eX'
ccssivcly dry years good results cannot
he expected. and tho bureau must take
advantage Of wet season. Preparations
| for the transplanting will be begun i'm
mcdiately so that quick work can ho
done the first favorable season after the
sec di,ngs are old enough.
In the whole of the Santa Barbara
forest reserve which contains nearly
two million acres. thcrc are only two
groves of any size There is. therefore,
"A large opportunity for the extension of
the work of tree planting. IL it proves
successful.
In Nebraska the bureau forestry has

rhc highly interesting fact is stated
that the number Of freight cars cross

That would mean twenty trains each

years or more was of absolutely no

below on tho cast bank. IT is the most
southern point at which it is practic-
able to erect n bridge over the river

Fort Montgomery is almost due wes,

of this golden stream has suddenly swol-

lakes 10 the gulf our commercial and
financial leaders arc pointing with pride
to our rapidly increasing Oriental trade

enabled us to make this fine showing are
on the verge of IL strike. They are threat

situation lies in the fact that the Oriental
buyers have gricvanc" that warrants
them in taking the most drastic possible
