fourteen feet high and three made
a very good load for the man or
woman who came after them and
in most districts the ladies were
largely in the majority. The slow
growing varieties of shade trees
have almost entirely replaced the
cottonwood and poplar which be-
came great nuisance on account
of the enormous crop of worms and
cotton which they produced each
year.
If 23,500 trees were set out
around La Jara this year it is safe
to say that land values would
increase because of that act alone
at least 80 per cent within the next
three or four years. No doubt
values will increase that much

much of beauty to the landscape,

discourage the winds which always

not spare either time or water
sufficient to go into tree planting
on a large scale. Still something
can be done each year and trees
do not require much water during
the season when it is most in de-
mand for grain and other crops.
