THE PATIENT COTTONWOOD.
Western Tree Endures Great Extremes
of Temperature.


One of the largest cottonwoods in
the West was cut down not long ago
In Ray county, Missouri. 1t measured
Sixty-five feet from the ground to the
first knot, and made more than 5000
feet of lumber. One of the largest and
finest specimens is in the capitol
ground at Topeka. 1t was Seeding
which started in 1869, when the first
wing of the state house was being
erected. 1t was spared from the scythe.
and in twenty-five years attained a
growth which gave its top spread or
over 100 feet. This tree was great
favorite with the late senators from
Kansas, John j. ingalls, and Preston
B. Plumb, and it is as dear to the
hearts of the "Jayhawkers" as is the
Washington elm to the people OF Cam
bridge, for the Twentieth Kansas regi-
ment of volunteers not only assembled
under this tree, but, after making
record in the Philippines, the regiment
and it's intrepid commander bade fare
we'll under it's branches.
The cottonwood endures great ex-
tremes of temperature, and when the
roots can reach good supply of mois-
ture, it successfully withstands severe
droUths. 1t is fast-growing tree, and
demands plenty of light. On irrigated
lands cottonwoods have been known
to<attain diameter of fourteen inches
In eight years.
The cottonwood is extremely easy to
cultivate from seed, cuttings, layers or
gratis. The commonest way of secur-
ing them is from the natural nurseries
which spring up along the sandbars OF
the western rivers. These nurseries
are killed each year by inundation
from the high waters, but they are also
renewed annually by the seed floating
on the water A thousand roots intact
can be pulled out of the sandbars, in
the fall, in an hour. These seedlings
are often planted closely together in
burrows, and in this manner several
thousand can be planted in day by
two men using team and plow.

The Euche Indians, 500 in number,
who live in remote part of the Creek

and marry principally among their

than 200 years ago. In some cases a
Euche may marry Creek, and the
children will speak to the father in
