Europe is conquering the waste
land problem by planting trees Ev-
cry year thousands of acres of land
are being reclaimed in this way by
the leading countries and put in
condition preparatory to profitable
timber harvest in the years to come.
Not only many previously forested
areas which have been cut over
have been planted up, but a number
of the countries are also devoting
their energies to establishing a for
est cover on dunes and other waste
lands, and in fact. on all and which
is more valuable for producing tim
Der than for other purposes.
France has been one of the fore
most European countries in refores-
tation, especially in the mountains,
where planting has been powerful
factor in controlling torrents and
regulating streamf1ow. The state
each year buys uncultivated lands in
the mountain regions. and up to jan
uary, 1907. it had acquired 503.0OO
acres in this way. Communes, ASSOC
Citations and private individuals are
also assisted in reforestation work by
3 dnlS VI uIOnSS anu ny oupPlASo VI
plants and seeds. Altogether 249,-
900 acres have been planted through
this public assistance. Complete ex-
emption from taxation for long per-
iod of years is granted in the case
of plantations made on the. tops and
slopes of mountains. A reduction of
three-fourths for all land planted or
sown, whatever its situation, is also
made.
One of the most striking examples
of the results of planting waste lands
is furnished by the reforestation of
the "Karst" in Austria. The Karst
was a stretch of barren limestone
lands comprising sonic 100000 acres
in tho billy country along the Aus
trian shores of the Adriatic sea. For
centuries it had fgFnished the ship

timber and other wood supplies of
Venice, but excessive cutting, to-
gether with burning and pasturing,
had left it a waste almost beyond re-
covery. In 1865, the government be-
gan to offer help to land owners who
would undertake forest planting
there. Taxes were RENTED for peri
DDS of years, technical advice was
given, and plant material as well as
money were supplied.
At present over 100000 acres, or
two-thirds of the Karst are under
forest, partly as result of planting,
at a cost of IS or $40 an acre, and
partly as a result of protection which
made natural recuperation possible.
In 1884, Austria also passed a re-
forestation law to control torrents.
This law carries an annual appropria-
ton of 100000, and extensive
planting work has been successfully
carried out under it.
Germany as whole does not have
so much waste land which it is neces-
sary to plant. The Germans have
been practicing forestry for so long
time that the greater part of the
available land is already covered
with forests. Some work, however,
is done along this line. During the
six years from 1901 to 1906 about
100000 acres of land suitable for for.
estry were acquired in Prussia, al
though a part of this was already
wooded. All possible assistance is
also given TO communes and private
owners in planting work. and in 1908

so filed with the drift that the

$4,000 was appropriated for this
purpose. Baden endeavors to encour-
age forest planting by providing that
all private waste lands, pastures,
fields and up1ands planted with tim
Der remain free from taxation for a
period of 20 years from the begin
ming of the first year of planting.
In Denmark no fixed appropriation
is made for acquiring waste lands.
but in the last % years over $4,000
acres have been purchased, and re-
Gently the annual cost for planting
has amounted to over $4,000. Tree
planting on the dunes along the coast
of Jutland for the purpose of protec-
ton from drifting sand is continu
ously going on. In addition to the
work which the state is doing, an
nual grants are made to the Danish
Heath society, the special object of
which is to encourage tree planting
in Jutland. That the work pays is
shown by the fact that during the
last ~ years tse average annual
profit from all state forest lands has
been nearly 100000.
Other European countries are con-
stantly doing similar planting work.
Switzerland, for example, creates
protection forests wherever possible
by planting, and whenever forests
are converted into farming and pas
ture lands an equal area may be or
dered reforested. The great empire
of Russia likewise spends large sums
annually in planting. Belgium and
''i4'~ Holland are also active in MAX
ing their waste lands productive
through forest planting.
Putting evey acre of land to its best
use is the idea about which the whole
policy of the conservation of national
resources revolves. and in the future
the planting up of waste tracts in the
United States is sure to be carried on
extensively by private owners as well
as in the national forests and on state
lands.
