FOREST PLANTING
WORTH TO PRAIRIE FARMERS
$1,000 AN ACRE.

Nowhere in the United States, per-
haps, is the need of forest planting
greater than on the prairies of Mime
sofa and the Dakotas, and nowhere is
it more profitable for commercial re-
turns. Protection from wind and
storm is essential for the well being of
the family, the stock, and the or
chard.. Indeed, in many cases it is the
presence and shelter of belts of trees
about the farm buildings, with their
continuous supplies of fuel, that mark
of distinction between the comfortable
home and the one where comfort is
lacking. Owners estimate the value
of good groves, on an average, at
81, 900 an acre, on the basis that their
property, IL placed upon the market,
would be increased TO that extent by
the trees. Bankers and land agents
take special note of thrifty groves, for
they have learned that buyers are
ready to pay for the protection and
comfort of grove. The effective
ness Of the grove as windbreak is
determined largely by the number and
kinds OF trees planted and their rela-
tive positions.
When planting for direct profit is
contemplated, inquiry becomes neces-
sary into ~ the market, (2) the cost
OF production, and 90 the species
planted AS a result Of the absence
of natural supplies, posts, poles and
fuel wood are shipped into this re-.
gion from northern Minnesota at a.

freight rate of 10 cents a hundred
weight, or about $3.50 a cord This,
with the original selling price and the
dealers profit, brings the local selling
price up from 81 to $11 cord
The value Of the land is usually the
largest item in the cost of producing a
wood crop. Although the best soil will
produce timber most rapidly yet
rough, sandy, or occasionally over
flowed situations can also usually be
utilized. In selecting a tree for com
mercial planting, it's hardness in the
climate and situation is most impor-
tant. After that, rapidity of growth
and quality of the wood, especially it's
suitability to serve local demands, are
considered.
Cottonwood and white willow are
profitable on the deep, porous soils of
the river valleys. Seven cottonwood
groves yielded in lumber and fuel an
average net return per acre of $10.67,
while eight groves of white willow
gave products of posts and fuel equal
annual net return per acre of $1O.67,
per acre.. European larch and Scotch
pine produced, respectively, an annual
net return per acre of $11.93, and
$3.50 when planted on upland, and
would do even better in the river val
leys. White spruce, Norway spruce
and western yellow pine are also
adapted for planting for windbraak
purposes. In species for park, lawn,
and roadside planting, symmetry and
gracefulness are important considera,
tions.
cuttings are usually used in estab-
iish1ng a plantation of willow or cot.
tonwood. The expense is little or
nothing. Seedlings of broadleaf trees
are easily procured. Unfortunately.
