idea is that The planting Of a good
sized trees gives that much gain In
growth over a small one" says Prof.
Longyear OF Colorado Agricultural
College. In some cases this may be
true in part. especially where some
water for irrigation is available and
with favorable soil conditions. In
the main. however. the smaller trees
are easier to establish and in a few
years may overtake the larger ones
and give more permanent results. The
planting of large trees Is nearly al

while the small trees may start into
vigorous growth during the hrst sea

small trees Is very much lower Than
that Of the larger sizes and the plant.

In all cases clean cultivation should
be maintained around such trees dur
