To Try Growing oiEasterl HardHOeds.
ID California.

The Pacific Coast will soon be the
scene of an interesting tree growing
experiment. The United States
Forest Service is planning toinuoduce
a number Of the most important
eastern hardwoods into California,
and will this year experiment with
chestnut, hickory, Eastwood, red oak,
and yellow poplar or tulip trees.
Small patches OF these trees will be
planted near the forest rangers
cabins on the National Forests, and
if these do well larger plantations on
commercial scale will som be
established on wider areas.
There are over % different
species in California, a number of
which produce some Of the most
valuable varieties of lumber in the
county. Although considerably over
one-half of the species are hardwood
or broad leaved trees, vet, with the
exception Of the exotic eucalyptus,
there is not a single species Of hard
wood here ranking in commercial
Importance with the leading eastern
hardwoods. Climatic conditions is
many parts of California are un.
doubtedly favorable for the growth
of a nu mber of the valuable hard
woods, and the absence. of these
trees is due mostly to unfavorable
factors OF seed distribution.
If the experiments are successful,
a valuable asset will have been added
to the forest resources of this State,
which should prove of special benefit
to the local furniture and vehicle in.
dustrieS. Chestnut and red oak are
highly esteemed for furniture, while
with hickory, Eastwood, and eucalyp.
tus at itscommand, California should
lead all other states in the vehicle
industry.
