Tree Planting ON tile Mesa.
The forest service of the United
States department of agriculture has
taken the initial steps toward plant

Las Vegas. Already a tree nursery
has been established on the banks of
the Gallinas but the present idea Is to
produce "A miniature forest on the
treeless mesa. The rainfall here Is
sufficient, the government experts
find, to insure the growth Of many
varieties Of trees. The government
experts claim that the best conditions
for agriculture exist when from 10 to
25 per cent OF the land Is in forest and
that there Is real need for certain
amount Of forest growth The best
trees for growth without irrigation are
given by the government men as honey

orange and red cedar. Next come
black locust, white elm, green ash and
blackberry Black walnut, Lombardy
poplar. silver maple, Russian olive,
bur oak and sycamore are named as
hardy trees, likely to do well here, and
all will be tried. The experts advise
all the mesa farmers TO devote few
acres to a wood lot OF all trees,
where It will succeed. black locust Is
named as the most useful TO the
farmer.
