With seeds Of forest trees estimated
to number not less than 100000
planted on small strip of land about
two miles directly south of Falls
Church, Va. Sidney A. Gaylor of Wash
tngton, an experienced nurseryman,
has begun in practical way the cult
walton Of seedlings, with which he
hopes to replace aged or fallen timber
or create additional tracts of timber
land In the neighborhood Of Washing
ton. And surprising fact of this
planting near Falls Church is that ev-
cry one of the seeds placed there was
gathered by Mr.. Gaylor, from trees in
the city of Washington or just over
the District line.
Mr.. GaylOr, in addition to being an
experienced nurseryman and an enthu-
siast on trees, especially of the shade
or forest variety, describes himself as
a newspaper correspondent who has
written up the agricultural advantages
and opportunities of many of the fer
tile river valleys of Colorado, my
home" He gives his age as seventy
one years and says that practically all
his time for the past thirty-six years
has been devoted to affairs strictly
agricultural, both theoretical and prac-
teal.
The major part of his life. so he told
a Washington Star reporter, has been
spent in Kansas and Colorado, where
he studied, experimental and dealt at
times In practical manner in forestry
trees. At one time he planted timber
claims and at other times dug mere
seedlings from the forests Of Colorado
brought them to the highest possible
condition of tree life through cultiva-
ton and care and then disposed Of
them, In several instances freeing"
as he described it, public parks In
Colorado cities.
What was my object in planting
those seeds out near Falls Church
Just simply because l believe in refor-
estation; that's all. l think it Is the
duty Of everybody to become inter
ested In this subject. and everybody
should do something practical toward
placing the timber life Of this country
In the same condition it was in q hun.
dred years ago.
Rather than for pecuniary gain
gathered those seeds and planted them
right here near the capital of the ma
ton with the hope that other people
would become interested and do the
same thing until we should have nc
dearth Of trees anywhere. And just to
show how easily 1t can be accom-
plished / gathered nearly all OF my
seeds here in the thickly settled por
lions Of Washington"
How did you become interested in
treesw was asked.
1T may seem strange, but I'll tell
you. When l was boy about eleven
or twelve years old I happened to be
reading my Bible and ran across the
passage, Behold the fig tree and al
the other trees That made lasting
impression upon me, and from that
day to this my love for the tree and
its cultivation has never ceased. Their
as time went on and the big forests
used to see in my boyhood out west
disappeared / felt as though there was
something strangely missing, and ther
began to think again, hard, and sud
denly 1t all dawned on me-reforesta
ton! We needed to replace the things
which were gone"
Mr. Gaylor spoke of President Roose
velt's interest in forestry and said:
His administration has agitated the
country from center to circumference

dream Of theorists, but the well de-
fined plan of jurists and statesmen,
an evolution of the civic order recog-
nized the world over.
"'T'he United States now spends
over $3OO,OOO,OO0 a year for it's army
and navy, of which $250O00 900
could easily be saved under our plan
to be devoted to the improvement
of rivers and harbors and highways,
and to the encouragement of art,
science and education. Think of
what paradise the country could
be made with the expenditure OF
s250,OOO,OOO annually, or what bur-
dens could be lifted from the shoul-
ders Of the people.
'In the last hundred years, 2G0
international controversies have
been adjusted by arbitration, and in
not a single instance did the losing
party try to eyade the verdict by
force or otherwise. Hence our plan
has been amply tested. II is sup
ported by enlightened public opinion,
which is stronger than either armies
or navies, and it has the blessing
of the noblest and best Of mankind. !"
