} The Poet and
the Trees

The village of Hoddesdon, in Hert-
fordshire, sets us all a good example,
says the Little Paper, London. Two
soldier boys, before going to the war,
planted acorns, which have now
grown into young trees, and are -four
ishing in readiness for peace.
These boys have served their coun-
try doubly we'll. If every boy and
every girl would secure acorns and
plant them we should in time
have oaks enough to replace those
which are being cut down to carry
us through the war. 1t is just the
sort of thing that Virgil would have
done. Virgil, the Roman poet. was a
boy of IA all but nineteen CEN
turtles ago, but ever since he has been
the great forester of Europe. There
never been a period . when his
works nave not been class room ex-
ercises.
But the astonishing thing is that,
all those centuries ago. Virgil wrote
for the instruction of the world
more about trees than most corn
growing farmers know today. He
knew more of grating and budding
than most modern English gardeners
know. He vas the Luther Burbank,
the plant-wonder man, Of the genera
ton which preceded the birth Of
Jesus. We have only to read him to
see what a master of the subject he
was. .u
We must remember, as we read,
that forestry is a new subject for us
in these days. Yet here, in the days
of Caesar. is the Roman poet know
ing all about it. He shows how
woods and forests must be thinned,
not merely by Telling trees, but by
stransplanting into the open, trees
overcrowded and robbed of light and
air. He shows how the soil must be
prepared; how the wild tree, sour or
~unfruitful, may be made fruitful of
sweet products; which trees are best
raised from suckers and which from
seed.
