The severity of the sentences, each

TO TRY GROWING OF EASTERN
HARDWOODS IN CALIFORNIA.

HARDWOODS IN SALlrohNIA'
The Pacific Coast will soon be the
scene of an interesting tree growing
experiment. The United States For
est Service is planning to introduce Il
number of the more important east
ern hardwoods into California, and
will this. year experiment with chest
nut, hickory, Eastwood, red oak, and
yellow poplar or tulip trees. Small
patches of these trees will be planted
near the forest rangers cabins on the
National Forests, and If those do we'll
larger plantations on commercial
scale will soon be established on wider
areas.
There are over 125 different species
of trees in California, a number OF
which produce some of the most val
liable varieties of lumber in the coun-
try. Although considerably over one
half of the species are hardwood or
broad leaved trees yet, with the eX-
ception of the exotic eucalyptus, there
is not single species of hardwood
here ranking in commercial import
ance with the leading eastern hard
woods. Climatic conditions in many
parts of California are undoubtedly
favorable for the growth of number
of the valuable hardwoods, and the
absence of these trees is due mostly
to unfavorable factors of seed distrl-
button.
If the experiments are successful,
valuable asset will have been added
to the forest resources of this State,
which should prove of special benefit
to the local furniture and vehicle in
dustrirs. Chestnut and red oak are
highly esteemed for furniture, while
with hickory, Eastwood, and euca-
lyptus at its command, California
should lead all other states in the
vehicle industry.
