Traces Plains
To Forest Fires
Farmer Believes Nebraska
Covered With Trees
In 18th Century.

NORTH PLATTE. NEB.-A forest
fire which swept western Nebraska
following prolonged drouth in the
Twelfth century may have been the
contributing cause of the barren
sandhills overlooking. both sides of
the Platte river.
So believes Harry Weekley of the
Nebraska experimental farm at
North Platte, who began studying
trees as hobby and after years of
research has brought forth evidence
that western Nebraska was covered
in the Twelfth century by forest
of virgin red cedars.
BY measuring and comparing the
growth rings of trees which have
died recently, Weekley developed
graph depicting the increased and
decreased cycle of rainfall over
period of years.
Traces Rain to 1905.
Applying the graph to lumber
from trees which died at an unde-
termihsd time, Weekley arrived at
the dates of their death. Through
this tedious method, he traced in
termittent drouth and high rainfall
periods back to 1906
Three years ago, excavation for
an irrigation canal brought to light
three stumps of two red cedars
which once grew in the Platte val
ley. Their growth rings did not cor
relate with any Of the periods back
to 1906 but did match the Twelfth
century growth ring graphs Of
University of Arizona scientist. DR..
A. E. Douglas.
Since then, Weekley has discov-
cred in canyons along the Platte
valley so many similar red cedars
that he concluded the valley and
foothills once were covered with
virgin forest.
Drought for IS Years.
Study disclosed, Weekley said,
that the trees died from a drouth
of IS years duration. With the veg
citation gone from the soil. prairie
winds covered the canyons with
dust, sometimes IL feet deep.
Later Weekley said. great fire
apparently ragged through the vege-
tation which arose above the drifts.
The fact that two-foot trees were
consumed indicates the intensity OF
the fire, he explained.
With all vegetation destroyed,
winds played havoc with the soil
and the sandhills formed from the
drifting sands, Weekley theories.
In the space of time, period of
light winds permitted grass to grow
and the sandhills assumed their
present form.
