standing, and to plant new ones to replace
those wiped out either through numbering oper-

The plant trees idea gradually won more and
more recognition until now with the aid of the
Federal Government all the States are assisting
in the work, offering trees at little or no cost
to those who desire to plant on farm land and
on unused acreage. Some States aid to the
extent of holding land tax free which has been
planted to forest.
1t is estimated that since the enactment of
