What One vineyardist Has to Say
I Regarding tho Method as

Ihave girdled grapevines and seen It
done for about. 40 years, since I was q
small boy; my father has done it nearly
every year. The effect is not so marked,
I think, II large branch is girdled as
when it is a small one, The, theory Of
girdling, as I have it, Is that the sap Of
the grape passes up through the wood
and down between wood and bark. The
proper time for the operation is from
June IS to July s. Take, for instance, a
branch like A, remove the bark clean
or it will DO no good. B shows bark re-

TREES y ON PRAIRIEs.
Bureau Of Forestry Doing Good Work
in This Direction - Bettsr
Methods in Use, :,

In the states of the middle west
there is pressing need of. more trees,
both for wood and for windbreaks and
shelter-belts. This need has been felt
since the prairies were first settled, but
the attempts made to- supply it have.
as q rule, fallen short Of the benefits
which might have been secured. The
early planting was done chiefly for the
sake Of ornament or shade; the useful
ness Of the species for wood was sell
dom considered. In many cases, also,
trees were planted outside Of the range
to which they were adapted, and on
soil and In locations unfavorable to
them. On the other hand, many valu-
able species were neglected.
Experience has now furnished the
basis for better practice. Various kinds
Ct trees can be grown in these regions
which will serve just a. well for pro-
lection and ornament as those which
have been most used, and which at the
same time will furnish valuable wood
For several years the forest service
has been been Investigating this SUBJ
ject, says the Prairie Farmer, with re-
suits which are recognized throughout
the prairie region as Of great practical
value. The work consists of field
studies of the existing forest growth,
roth natural and planted, Of its rela-
ton to soil and climatic conditions,
and Of the effect Of various cultural
methods. 7
In carrying on the work forest serv-
ice field parties examine and make
measurements Of representative groves.
From these measurements volume and
yield tables are made which show the
returns in cordwood, posts, stakes ana
lumber to be expected in q given time
for each of the species studied. In ad-
dition to the measurements, the char
acteristics of growth and reproduction
OF the trees are noted, and . valuable
data on the natural distribution and ad-
visable planting range obtained.
The work In the eastern part Of the
two Dakotas, western Minnesota. ILL.,
nois, eastern Nebraska and western
Kansas has been published, giving in
concerning tho species most
suitable to the locality. and telling
how and where to plan them. Bulletins
OF the same character covering other
states are in preparation. This sum-
mer Iowa was studied, and later other
states Of the middle west, until the
whole region Is 2covered. Considerable
froo y1anf3np 11aa heen done in some (1f
these states, occasionally with com
rlete success; but there have been
many total failures. and many at
tempts successful only in part. AS q
rule, the lack of success was due to
lack of knowledge how and what to
rlant. But these plantations, whether
successful or not, provide valuable OBJ
Ject lessons in respect to future plant
