INTERESTING STORY OF PLANT
ING IN OLD WORLD.

In considering the progress of the
almost worldwide movement for pro-
lection of forests, an interesting re-
view has just been made of the work
in CHINA country which is so often
cited as an example of the evil effects
of deforestation.
In a portion of the Celestial King
dom earnest efforts are now being
made to reestablish a forest cover by
planting. Consul Wilbur T. Gracey of
Tsingtau, China, reports that the Ger
mans in that region are making sue
cessful attempts at reforestation. The
success of the work was practically
assured at the start. for to Germany
is given the credit for having the
highest developed system of forestry,
| and 1t was natural to expect that the
long experience in forest work in the
Fatherland would lessen preliminary
experimentation and hasten progress
| in China.
When Tsingtau was occupied by the
Germans about eleven years ago the
hills were found bare and barren,
with only sporadic growth of scrub
pine and weeds. Plans for reforesta-
tion were at once made, and about
1886 acres have already been plant
'hs hbOul VI lulS Is Dldntc0 III
acacias, the balance in pine, larch,
walnut. oak. ash, naples, and alders
So successful has this planting been
that the point has already been reach
ed where the sale of timber can be
made. Small branches are sold for
fire wood and some of the timber Is
used for mining purposes. The sale
and expectation of acacia is expected
to become considerable source of
revenue during the next few years
1t is particularly remarkable that
this work should have been so sue
cessful in view of the difficulties to
which the plantation was subjected
| The rainfall is light and lack of mois-
ture considerably retarded the de-
velopment of the trees. BY far the
worst enemies, however, were insects.
Various species of caterpillars and
other insects have been so destructive
