Cottonwoods, locust, and box
elder, are the forest trees best
adapted to this country, and
after they are well started they
will grow with only a small
amount of cultivation. If per-
son wishes to plant these IN a
grove, or in rows as hedge, they
may be cared for in about the
same way as fruit trees, placing
them about twelve feet apart.
Experience has proven that it
is always best to loosen up the
ground before planting the trees
for they will not thrive when
placed in the sod, as it is so hard
that the roots can not well pene-
trate it.
On the whole, l would not con-
slider it advisable to undertake to
start an orchard without some
irrigation, though 1 believe it can
be done in some of the years hay-
ing the most rainfall.
In 1906 "a year in which there
was large rainfalD we set out
about fifty trees and all of these
lived through the first summer
without any irrigation whatever,
though the next season was not
so favorable, and some of them
died because we were unable to
irrigate them.
