ARMSBY COMPANY, SAN FRANCISCO Government Forest Exhibit At the Lewis and Clarke Centennial Exposition, Portland, Oregon. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 9, 1905. The exhibit of the Forest Service at the Lewis and Clarke Exposition gives deserved prominence to the need and the value of forestry in the Northwest. It emphasizes the great benefits of the forests to the region, both on the northern Pacific coast, where they are the richest in the world in their stand of merchantable timber, and in the agricultural areas of eastern Washington and Oregon, where they dominate the success of irrigation by their storing and supply of treasured water. Indeed, the intimate relation between forestry and irrigation—the most important economic problem of the Northwest—is most fully brought out in the association of the forest exhibit with that of the Reclamation Service in the same building. The picturesque Oregon State "Forestry Building," constructed of the giant red fir logs, is distinct from the Government forestry building, but it has attracted much attention and has also assisted greatly in impressing the public with the exceptional character of the north-western forest reserves. The Government forest exhibit consists of very large transparencies and bromide photographs, models, charts, instruments, tools, machines, culture and other impacts but this style of agriculture relation whatever to the irrigation. "Wherever a supply be developed for the arid or semi-arid land would be enormously what it would yield under dry land farming. Her system highly diversion is impractible. Such such as wheat may be the difference between of an acre under dry under irrigation, when farming would be those without irrigation, worse one in favor of irrigationably even more. The lands on which raised by methods of dry as a rule the high bench cannot be economical and there are many mines of such lands in the form no part of the land been supposed would be claimed by irrigation. "It must not be inflicted that all desert lands can produce by any system farming. Such is not the Omaha correspondent Globe-Democrat is taking when he says that irrigation will be useless because farming will take the place. The statement is simple and grows out of the dance of the subject. The lands capable of reclaiming been variously estimated." the giant red fir logs, is distinct from the Government forestry building, but it has attracted much attention and has also assisted greatly in impressing the public with the exceptional character of the northwestern forest reserves. The Government forest exhibit consists of very large transparencies and bromide photographs, models, charts, instruments, tools, machines, apparatus, and wood material, the whole forming a history of the forest movement in this country. The illustrations, which are designed to show the necessity of forestry, as well as its methods and its accomplishments, present the actual forest conditions in every important region of the United States and the various ways of improving them. Good and bad forest conditions are contrasted; the success which has followed conservative forest work is thrown out in relief against the failure which follows careless, ignorant, or heedless effort; wasteful and conservative lumbering, forests ravaged by fire, and forests protected from fire, are displayed side by side; stripped and eroded mountain slopes are placed next well-protected ones, properly grazed areas next those overgrazed. So, through all the lines of work which the Forest Service is conducting, the right and the wrong ways of working are forcibly impressed upon the visitor. The exhibit does not end, however, with disclosing the damage to forests in the past, or even with prescribing preventives for the future, but it also shows how the naturally treeless plains of the Middle West are capable, under correct methods of tree planting, of supporting forest growth, and how fire-swept and denuded mountain slopes of the East and West can be reclaimed to forest—something vitally important for conserving the stream flow for agriculture, manufacture and commerce. The practical and educational features of the exhibit—its main objects—are further carried out in the public tests which are being made of farming. Such is not the Omaha correspondent Globe-Democrat is taking when he says that irrigation will be useless because farming will take the place. The statement is simply and grows out of the distance of the subject. The lands capable of reclamation been variously estimated to 100,000,000 acres. Our western lands I should it would be a conservation that more than 100,000 them are capable of cropping by dry land farming bench lands where irrigation always be impracticable lack of water supply soils. "Reclamation by irrigation thing. Utilization of productive by more crops of cultivation is an arate and distinct problem at which the Department nature is steadily at work which will grow with a lot of moisture and to devise of cultivation will conform fullest possible for crop small annual rainfall. Of cultivation is to control soil the rainfall of two production of one crop splendid plan to make vast area of semi-desert what different propositions five crops in one year, as can easily be irrigable desert lands west."

The practical and educational features of the exhibit—its main objects—are further carried out in the public tests which are being made of the strength of the structural timbers of the Western States. But little is now accurately known on this subject. These tests and all other experimental work will be explained to the public daily by the officials in charge. It is also planned to conduct a series of illustrated lectures on Forestry by representatives of the Forest Service. Dry Farming vs Irrigation George H. Maxwell in El Paso Herald: “Your letter of the 26th ult., with copy of clipping from Globe-Democrat containing item from Omaha, Neb., on dry farming in the arid regions has been received,” writes George H. Maxwell to the El Paso Herald. “It is unfortunate that so few people appreciate the vast difference between irrigation and dry farming in the West. “There are very great possibilities of agricultural production in the west by means of what is known as dry farming, under the Campbell soil.” Street Trees in California By Willis L. Jepson, Ph. D., Professor of Botany, University of California. From the standpoint of both the individual and the community there is no other asset that can be put upon the land of municipal and agricultural California so valuable as trees. And there is particular need for planting trees in what is practically waste land, the curb-lines of streets and the sides of country roads. Such trees, properly planted and persistently cared for, are valuable to all as well as to one for several amply good reasons. As a purely commercial matter it is now well known that street or road trees increase property values. Authenticated cases are at hand where naked farm land of superior value has sold at less price than inferior land fronted by lines of roadside trees. And this difference is, to a certain extent, justified because in these days of increasing wood scarcity, trees have in themselves a great value. As a matter of comfort, too, street trees are a boon in a land where for five or six months cloudless skies prevail. Again, in the problem of rendering a locality attractive, trees furnish one of the most effective instruments for improvement clubs. It is not difficult in some towns to find uncompromising rows of naked houses. A few of these may be architecturally artistic, more may be unobjectionable and a Such is not the fact, and Omaha correspondent of the state-Democrat is talking wildly he says that irrigation projects be useless because dry land will take the place of water. Statement is simply ridiculous, grows out of the densest ignorance of the subject. The area of arid capable of reclamation has variously estimated at from 740,000,000 acres. Of the remain-western lands I should suppose would be a conservative estimate more than 100,000,000 acres of are capable of crop production in dry land farming on the highlands where irrigation will be impracticable because of of water supply so high up. Reclamation by irrigation is one. Utilization of lands now unproductive by more scientific method cultivation is an entirely separate and distinct problem, and one which the Department of Agriculture steadily at work to find plants will grow with a small amount moisture and to develop methods cultivation will conserve to the best possible for crop production a annual rainfall. One such plan cultivation is to conserve in the rainfall of two years for the collection of one crop in one year—a did plan to make productive area of semi-desert—but a some-different proposition from raisive crops in one year by irrigating can easily be done on the ble desert lands of the south.
