Big ReforeStation Campaign Is
Under Way in Western Sec
ton of Nebraska.
Find RIGHT KIND OF TREE
Completed Work Calls for Planting Of
s,ooo,ooo,ooo Pine Trees-Land
No Good for Farms so It Was
Made Into National Forest.

Lincoln, Neb.-In western Nebraska,
along the Dismal river, one of the most
stupendous public works ever under
taken in this country is getting under
way. 1t is the reforestatlon of the
sand hills, and the completed work
calls for the planting of 3,OOO,OOO,OOO
pine trees in a section of the country
where no trees have been known to
grow. In the next six weeks more
than million and half Western
yellow pine and jack pine sprouts will
be planted In the reservation, which is
known as the Nebraska National
forest.
For thlrty-five years efforts to grow
trees have been made on these hills by
the owners Of the cattle ranches which
dot that section, and for twenty years
scientific campaign to make that
country into great national forest
mas been made, but not until this year
has the idea gotten down to u real
working basis. At the present time
fifty men and the necessary horses and
tractors are doing nothing but plant
ing young trees. For the next six
weeks they will devote full time to 1t.
Then the work must walt until next
year.
one thousand acres this year will be
planted with 100000 young trees. The
Nebraska National forest consists of
2O5.O 900 acres, which were withdrawn
from the public domain in 1902. Ne
braskans laughingly remark the tract
was called a forest" because in all
the 205,0OO acres there was not a
single tree of any description.
Trees Would Not Grow.
The sandhills of western Nebraska
are just what their name implies. They
are partially covered with sort of
grass, especially in the small valleys.
I he country cannot be farrned. So the
very toughest portion was segregated
and made into a forest"
But trees would not grow when
planted. Thousands and thousands of
young pine spruce and other similar
.Tees were brought from Wisconsin
and Minnesota and were planted on
the hills. They promptly died. Differ
ent species were obtained from the
mountains, but they alsc died. Trees
were brought from still other sections
OF the country and were planted, but
they all went the same way. Then
those in charge of the project de-
termlned 20 grow tree that would
thrive under sandhill conditions. So
they established the "Bessey" nursery
named after DR.. Charles b. Bessey,
the famous botanlst.
