PLANT TREES IN EASTERN
OREGON

A law should be passed in thI'
state TO ENCOURAGE PLANTING
TREES IN EASTERN OREGON.
In ten or twenty years such O law
would produce thousands OF acres oi
forest whore now there Is none.
Iowa, Kansas, the Dakotas, Mimi.
e5ota and Nebraska HAD LAWS EN-
ACTED TO ENCOURAGE FOREST
PLANTING AND CULTIVATION.
There are now 100000 acres Of
planted trees in central Kansas.
where at one time Il was thought
that trees could not be grown. As
the area In which agricultural crops
can be profltably grown Is steadily
extending so the limit of forest
planting and tree culture Is widen
Ing always.
The native timber IN Kansas Is
also on the increase; prairie fires no
longer sweep unchecked across the
plains, and the strips OF forests alons
the rivers and IN the rnvines and
Rullios are becoming broader every
year.
IN some counties cottonwood was
the only tree planted for many
years. Then boxelder. honey locust,
catalpa, Usage, orange. Russian null
berry, black walnut and red cedar
were tried, and all OF them we're
found suitable over the greater part
OF the state.
Many persons desire greater va
rfety OF trees, for ornament or for
profit. A gentleman living In abb
lene, Dickson county. has planted
large number OF trees and shrubs
about HIS home and has proved that
many species from the forests OF the
eastern ,states and OF the Old World
ARE well adapted TO the prairies lof
central Kansas. Some OF the trees
with which he has had success are
perslmmon, magnolia, Eastwood.
juneberry, black cherry, buckeye
dogwood. sycamore. tulip-tree, pin
oak, red oak, English oak, European
alder, camperdown elm, redbmd.
Paulownia, Chinese cork tree, red
leaf maple, ginkgo, red-leaf maple,
and cut-leaf weeping birch. These
are not 80 valuable for wlndbreaks,
fence posts and fuel as tho trees Or
dinarily planted for those purposes,
and since they are not 80 hardy, they
require more care; but their orna-
mental value ia very good. and as
towns grow older. the demand In
creases for variety of trees TO re-
place the short-lived cottonwoods.
Some trees which rOw naturally
in wet situations have algo heen sue
