Forest Tree Culture.

There is one thing which the Agri-
cultural Colleges and the farmers them
selves have been neglecting, and this
one thing is becoming more and more
important.
The cultivation of forest trees is
thing that should have been expert
mented with and practiced for the past
fifty years. In that case the matter of
forest conservat ion would have largely
been settled problem today
Sage brush has been made to give
place to fruit trees that bear richly of
golden fruit.
Properly studied, groves-or, in other
words orchards of forest trees can as
we'll be grown. The proper varieties
must of course be selected for the diff
ferent climate and soils.
At this time California leads in forest
culture; and it will only be few years
until she will grow the most valuable
of hardwood, not only for her own use
but for other markets, and she will do
it at greater profit than she could raise
fruit or grain. The experiments have
been made and the proof is at hand.
Mans skill will supply wealth of
forestry which nature never thought
of.
In several states nut trees are culti-
yated by the thousands of acres, and
they not only supply valuable timber
but yield more in their nut crops than
do apple and peach trees.
Yet more than ninety per cent of all
the farmers and land owners of the
United States have entirely overlooked
this wonderful possibility.
When one thinks what blessed
heritage to posterity such an industry
must positively prove, it should stim-
ulate every land owner in America to
tree growing.
When our forestry associations, our
teachers. our colleges, our states and
our counties go into this important
study to put it in practice, they will be-
gin to do something real, substantial
and profitable along the line of forest
growth and forest conservation.
A cultivated forest will be cared for
and protected against fire as no public
tract could be protected and cared for;
it would be privately owned and not
subject to depletion by saw-mills. In
fact it would be practically what an
orchard is to the farm on which it
] grows.

Planning Tunnel Opening.

Montrose, Olathe, Delta, Paonia and
Grand Junction came together in
magnificent spirit of good-fellowship
last Saturday evening. The occasion
was a banquet at the Belvidere hotel,
at Montrose, in which three delegates
from each of the above named neigh
boring towns sat down at the festal
board with the executive committee in
charge of the celebration to comemo-
rate the completion of the Guuison
tunnel Senator DeLong, Representa-
tives Merle D. Vincent and o. c. Skin
ner and other great men of the Western
Slope were in attendance. We were
| there
The meeting was a sort of general
love feast on the subject of the open
ing of the Gunnison tunnel, upon which
conference of " estern Slope towns
was called by the Montrose committee.
A great many valuable suggestions
were made in regard to the celebration
and all present pledged the support of
their respective communities to make
| the occasion a grand success.
1t was decided to hold the formal
ceremonies at the west portal of the
tunnel; to use every means to secure
President Taft's presence; to have a
large and strong railroad committee
wait on the Rio Grande and secure
necessary service and attractive rates
for the occasion. 1t was the sense of
those present that the celebration be
made three days affair and that ex-
cursions be arranged to various por-
tions of the slope. including Olathe.
Altogether the conference was grand
success and will be productive of much
good.
That celebration is going to be a
maenificent effair and Olathe is going
to be in on it.-Olathe Criterion,

cut off his dogs tail, cooked it, cleaned
