OF
TREE-PLANTlNG
Enterprise Of German Foresters
Strikin9ly Shown An Two
Recent News Items TO
Larch and Pine.

The enterprise of German foresters
and the importance Of tree-planting
for forest purposes arc strikingly
shown by two items of news which
come. the one from Montana, the
other from Ontario. II is reported
that a demand has developed for
Montana larch seeds TO be used by
German nurserymen; while white pine
seedlings are to be imported from
Germany by the town of Guelph. Ont.
for planting a 16S-acre tract of land
belonging to the municipality.
The Germans recognize that the In
PRODUCTION into their forests OF valu-
able trees native to other countries
may be decidedly to their advantage.
Although as a rule the forest trees
best adapted to each region are those
which naturally grow in 1t. there are
many exceptions. Norway spruce
and Austrian and Scotch pine have
been carried from their native home
to other parts of Europe and to Amer
lea and have been found well worth
the attention of the grower of timber.
Several OF our own species have met
with favor In Europe and fiourished
there. such as the Douglas fir, black
walnut and others. The Australian
eucalyptus is proving a great find for
America and South Africa.

The objects of the Guelph planting
are, according to local accounts, to
protect the towns water source by a
forest cover over Its springs In the
hills. to make a beautiful woods for
public park. and to provide for a
future timber supply as a municipal
asset In foreign countries. forest
tracts are often owned and managed
by towns and cities as a paying In
vestment and to insure a permanent
supply OF wood for local consumption.
but In America planting by municipal
tiles other than for parks and for
watershed protection has scarcely
been thought Of. The kinds Of trees
to be grown In the Guelph park have
already been decided upon by the On
tario Agricultural college. The pro-
posed forestation promises to be OF
SO great economic and sanitary value
that the estimated cost OF IS per
acre for importing and planting the
seedlings and caring for the growing
trees Is regarded as well worth while.
