Have Timothy Grass.

Every farm of any size should have
its timothy fields. A 40-acre farm
should have at least FIVE acres OF
grass. and larger farms In same pro-
portion. An acre of good timothy will
give more clear money than will two
or three acres of other grasses or
clovers. Ease of curing is seen in the
fact that If in right condition for cut

IMPORTANCE OF
TREE-PLANTING
knterprise OF German Foresters
Strikin1Iy Shown An Two
Recent News Items-T
ryLarch 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. 1t 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 fourished
walnut and others. The Australian
eucalyptus is proving a great find for
America and South Africa.
Our own white pine long ago crossed
the Atlantic in response to the needs
of Europeans, whose forests are COM
paratively poor in tree species, and is
now grown commercially on such a
scale that when It is wanted for plant
ing in its own native habitat the Ger
man nurseryman is often ready to de-
liver young plants here for a lower
price than our own nurserymen will
quote. Now the Germans are going
TO try the western larch, also. The
request from the German nurseryman
instructs the collectors to gather the
choicest seeds when ripe this fall. One
nurseryman on Flathead lake has Of
fered to exchange larch seeds for seeds
of desirable German shrubs, which he
intends to cultivate and sell in Amer
fca. In the same region, four or five
months ago, foresters of our own de-
A-tment of agriculture gathered seed
for use In the neighboring Lolo for
ed where new forest-planting
nursery was begun last year.
The objects of the Guelph planting
are, according to local accounts. to
protect the towns water source by
forest cover over its springs in the
hills, to make a beautiful woods for
a public park, and to provide for
future timber supply as municipal
asset In foreign countries. forest
tracts are often owned and managed
by towns and cities as a paying in
vestment and to insure 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.
