EUCALYPTUS FROM CUTTINGS
Grower From San Diego Says He Has Had Success With This Method, and Gets Groves Quicker Than
 From Seed.

Raising eucalyptus groves from cut | tings is the latest thing to be ex- plotted in timber culture in Southern California. George F. Hall, of San Diego, writes to the Pacific Rural Press giving his experience on this line, which may be of interest to I'm perial Valley ranchers. He says:
 Tt is very easy to make a mistake in the seed. but we have discovered by trial and experiment that the eu calyptus can be readily propagated from cuttings They grow readily if watered, but you must have irrigation to get them rooted. We have tried pieces as large as a broom handle in diameter, which grew, but subse- quently died when we withheld irri gation. Cuttings the diameter of your little finger and smaller, planted beside small rooted seedlings grew just as rapidly and as vigorously while watered but the root system must be supplied with water until it is suffi- cient to maintain the growth above the surface Pieces cut into suitable | lengths from the fresh limbs can be driven into the soil during the rainy season, and they will start a lot of shoots from which select vigorous one and rub off the rest so all the strength will go into the one shoot. Remember, this will be all waste work unless you are prepared to give future irrigation for the first season. It is a good time now to try for yourselves and prove our proposition true. Make l some cuttings, put them in good soil, and cultivate and irrigate the first season, and you will see how soon you can have a forest of eucalyptus. They grow as easily as willows from cuttings. There are conditions where this substitution of cuttings for seed lings will be of advantage, where you have moist land you can get grove without the tedious process of raising the trees from the seed, which is quite an undertaking, as the trees in their youth are very tender If you can supply irrigation until the trees are established, you can get a grove quicker than from seed. If you have to go any distance to get the cuttings | from the trees, put the cuttings in the l folds of wet gunny sack to avoid drying out. One cannot be too care full in this detail, as the cuttings should not be allowed to dry before planting. A cutting is best set in the place where it is to stand. l have not tried planting cuttings in deep boxes of soil to be transplanted, but unless the root system is well developed it only adds the element of doubt in the mat ter of trglsplanting large cuttings;
 better if possible, put them where they aref to grow. We believe the practiceiof using cuttings will help many VA fail in raising seedlings"
