FIRST SECTION STANDING.
NORWAY POPLAR'S VALUE.
Excellent For Fuel, Lumber and Wind
 breaks,

Tree planters throughout the north ern portion of the middle west have had brought to their attention lately the extraordinary value of the Norway poplar, near relative of the common cottonwood, which possesses fine qual- ities that bid fair to raise the prestige of the whole cottonwood family.
 This cottonwood is shrouded in mys- tery so far as its origin is concerned. It bears no cotton and is reproduced entirely from cuttings. The tree grows straight and lean, and it is said that the bark never scalds or cracks. The wood is straight grained and suitable for lumber. It splits easily, seasons quickly and makes excellent fuel.
 The Norway poplar grows very rap- idly. In Minnesota 1t has been known to grow fifty feet high with diameter of seventeen inches in fourteen years. It makes a good shade tree, retaining it's leaves until late in the autumn, and on account of its rapid growth should prove very desirable for windbreaks and shelter belts. So far as is known at present. this tree is perfectly hardy and will grow under a variety of soil and moisture conditions. It seems, however, to respond quickly by in- creased growth to cultivation and care.
 The advantage which the Norway holds over the Carolina poplar, ene of the most popular of cottonwOods. is chiefly in its great hardness and better form, and the seemingly superior qual- ity of its wood is shown in preliminary studies made by the United States for est service. It will be some time be- fore the Norway poplar will be avail able for widespread planting, since cut tings of the true variety are at present very scarce and hard to obtain.
