okIahoman Now Has FIourishins Tract
of 10000 Catalpa Trees
J. W. Birds venture in starting a
catalpa forest has proved very success
full for the first year, says Pond
Creek (Okla.) dispatch to the New
York Herald. He bought raw land in
the sand hills just east of Pond Greek
for his project and broke it up last
winter and spring.
He planted about 5000 seeds, expect
ing to get about e-fourth that num-
Der of plants. He now has between
eighty and one hundred thousand Wig
.orous, healthy young trees of an aver
age height Of about three feet. Next
spring he will transplant and If the
trees come through the winter well he
expects to have about eighty acres in
trees.
AS an illustration of what remarka-
BILE growth the tree will make in this
soil and climate Mr.. Bird has In his
Office tree cut by w. 81. Farmer, who
lives one mile from the formers catal-
pa farm. Last April Mr.. Farmer cut
back a two-year-old Seeding, and
since then the tree has made a growth
Of ten feet six inches.
