To Try Growing Of Eastern
Hardwoods in California

The Pacific Coast will soon be
the scene of an interesting tree
growing experiment. The United
States Forest Service is planning
to introduce a number OF the
more important eastern hard
woods 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 these do we'll larger plant
ations 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 valuable varieties of
lumber in the country. Although
considerable over one half of the
species are hardwood or broad
leuved trees, vet, with the eXcep-
ton of the exotic eucalyptus,
there IS not a single species of
hardwood here ranking in com
mercial Importance with the
leading eastern woods. Gil
matte conditions in many parts
of California are undOubtly
favorable for the growth OF q
number of the valuable hard.
woods, and the absence OF these
trees is due mostly to unfavor-
able fartors of seed distribution.
If the experiments are success
!ul. a valuable asset will have
been added to the forest resour-
ces of this State, which should
prove of special benefit to the To-
cal furniture and vehicle indus
tries. Chestnut and red oak are
highly esteemed for furniture,
while with hickory, Eastwood,
and eucalyptus at its command,
California should lead all other
states in the vehicle industry.
