ESCONDIDO PLANTS
EUCALYPTUS TREES
Government Expert Supervises Task
of Setting Out Thirty Acres Of
Trees Daily--Rain Favors
Industry

Seven hundred acres of land are now
being planted to eucalyptus trees in the
vicinity of Escondido, San Diego coun-
ty, by the Pratt Eucalyptus company
of Los Angeles, one of the pioneer com
panies in the eucalyptus industry. This
is undoubtedly a larger acreage than
was ever before planted to eucalyptus
trees in single year.
JJp to date almost 600 acres have been
set out. The planting has been pushed
SO rapidly that 1t might be completed
during the rainy season. A large force
of men has been employed and thirty
acres Of trees have often been set out
in a single days planting.
The varieties being planted are the
blue, sugar, red and gray gums with
a preponderance of blue gums, which
are planted eight feet apart, or $50 to
the acre. The other varieties are plant
ed 900 to the acre.
The tract which the company Is plant
ing is largely subirrigated bottom land
much of which Is suited for alfalfa
without irrigation. This year has been
exceptionally favorable for extensive
planting owing to the abundant rain
fall, which has been well distributed
through the season.
The planting has been done under the
constant personal supervision. of Stuart
J. Flintham, formerly national forest
Inspector for the California district.
Mr.. Flintham holds high rank as an
expert among eucalyptus men owing
to his long experience in this line or
work. Some of the most successful
eucalyptus plantations in the state have
been established under his supervis-
ion, and while a member of the forest
service he had charge Of the extensive
study made by the government into
commercial eucalyptus planting. The
results of his investigation have since
been published by both the state and
the federal service.
