and could, with little effort, say what needs to be done.
ARBOR DAY USED to be observed in these parts
years ago, There would be programs, adults and school
children would be called upon to plant trees in many
parts of the Island Perhaps part Of the answer lies in
such a program.
TIE CHANCES r that in this, as in other Of
cur problems, the solution may not be in one sweeping,
spectacular change. "A combination Of seemingly little
or even Insignificant things could, make the difference.
But whatever is required, big or little, it would be good
to see or hear of efforts in that direction.

WHAT ABOUT A FORESTRY PROGRAM?


OLDER FOLKS TEL us that time was when st.
streams ran all over the place, when wells were filled to
OVERLOOKING, and vegetation was green and fresh. In fact,
within the memory Of many adults the stream which
runs by Parade Ground was always filled, and at times
even rose to- considerable heights
WHILE DETAILED research has not been made, it
is known that the annual rainfall in many parts Of St.
Croix was little greater, if at all, than it is today. It is
also fact that not only did practically every estate
raise its own sugarcane, but produced its own sugar, as
the windmills bear testimony. With all this st. Croix
provided a living for some $4,000 people. If all Of this is
true, then what has happened? With a mere $4,000 popu-
lation water is becoming an increasing delicate prob
lem, and we import much, much more of the foodstuffs,
that we use.
BEFORE GOING further it must be conceded that
while the population is smaller, the use Of water is
greater, both for domestic use as we'll as industry. But
be that as it may, the conditions which obtained to make
vegetation more plentiful should never have been al
lowed to vanish.
SEVERAL FACTORS no doubt contributed to the
present situation. With the loss of world trade in rum
and molasses, many Of our largest landholders turned
to raising cattle. This meant that the top soil quickly
became packed and tight, the water table lowered, and
whatever rain fell quickly ran off the soil, and the water
that somehow remained on the surface quickly evap-
Grated in the strong sun.
BIT THERE r other reasons. Time was when
the factories used a great amount Of firewood, which
meant cutting down the bigger trees which were never
replaced. Add to this the fact that considerable wood is
being used for coal, and it is easy to see what has been
taking place year in and year out.
MLIGHTO OF all these facts and the situation which
