Reforesting in California That the first effort to reforest the mountain water-sheds should be made in Southern California, is quite natural, because there exists the greatest need, owing to the never abundant forest covering having been destroyed by irrational use, fires and stock grazing. In consequence of the depletion of the brush and trees on the mountain slopes, surface streams have greatly decreased in volume, and in many cases the flow has entirely ceased in summer, succeeding floods in winter. The destruction has been on the increase until quite recently, while the demand for water has been rapidly increasing. Irrigation in any form is practically on but one acre in 6½ acres of the arable land in Southern California, and the water is used to its fullest capacity. Not only is all stream flow used, but every effort is being made to secure water by tunneling into the mountains, sinking wells, and raising water by pumping at an enormous expense. The actual value of property in the seven southern counties of California, is over $500,000,000. If there was sufficient water for all of the arable land, the wealth would be increased to approximately $3,250,000,000. It is to secure as far as possible this great increase in wealth and make it possible for 2,000,000 people to build and maintain homes in the most delightful and beautiful spot in America, that has induced the United There can be no water seeping Southern California except that which falls on or tains, and the quantity to be used in summer depends upon character and density of the What to plant, and how that which is planted, is a great earnestness. In the selection of sparing planting, we are keeping as possible to nature. We fully what species she has on the various slopes; examine fully the climatic and soil conditions and altitude where each found flourishing. On the most parched and slopes chaparral is best. Chaparral is of great value venting erosion, to some extent the surface and acting as for the trees, which must be to the water-sheds to insure supply at all adequate for fences. The factor that most difficult in reforming the slight rainfall. During the winter of 1904 planted a large quantity of small beds over the mountain. The rain was sufficient to give the seed, but the rain ceased in March and no more fell until February, 1904. Many trees were six months after the rains but at the end of eleven moths but few were left. The long dry spell, an infirmber of small creatures, such seven southern counties of California, is over $500,000,000. If there was sufficient water for all of the arable land, the wealth would be increased to approximately $3,250,000,000. It is to secure as far as possible this great increase in wealth and make it possible for 2,000,000 people to build and maintain homes in the most delightful and beautiful spot in America, that has induced the United States forest service to undertake the difficult task of reforestering the mountains. First of all in importance, and a matter that should precede planting operations, is a systematic preparation of the mountains by making fire-breaks. This is done by removing the growth from the main and most lateral ridges so as to confine the fires to narrow limits. This is being done, and as it is purely mechanical, completion is only a question of available funds. If only this were done and the danger of fire removed, the increased growth by natural methods would in many fold repay the outlay by the consequent increased water conserving power. Vinol THE COD LIVER PREPARATION WITHOUT O Vinol is fast superseding old-fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions because, without a drop of oil, disagreeable feature, it contains all the medicinal elements of cod liver oil, actually taken from fresh cods' liver. By our process the oil, having no value either as a medicine food, is separated from the medicinal elements and thrown away. Unlike old-fashioned cod liver oil and emulsion Vinol is deliciously palatable, agreeable to the weakest starch, and therefore unequaled as a body builder and strength creator for old people, puny children, weak, run-down men and women, after sickness, and for all pulmonary diseases. Everything Vinol contains is named on the label. OUR GUARANTEE—We have such faith in VINOL that if you take it we promise if it does not benefit or cure you we will return your money without question. We take all the risk. O.

The weaker seedlings must be transplanted and kept another year under training. The main object in having them large is, that the rabbits, of which there are many in the chaparral, will cut the little seedlings off close to the ground. The larger trees may be cut off several times, but are well supplied with dormant buds and will send out a fine spreading top. Places are prepared for the trees where they are to grow permanently by digging a space 1½ or 2 feet across and 1 foot deep, if possible on the north side of a bush.

The spot is marked by tying a rag on the bush nearest the bed, to enable the planter to find it. These beds are made in the fall or early winter that the ground may have time to settle. As soon as rains have wet the beds, sufficiently trees are carried in deep cans or pails in which there is sufficient water to submerge the roots, and but one taken out at a time. To permit the roots of conifers to dry is to destroy them. The tree must be planted carefully, and the dirt well packed about the roots, leaving the tree in the center of a little basin which we fill with litter or mulch, to assist them in weathering the long dry months. It will be use-less to plant late; they must have the benefit of the winter rains to establish a good root growth. In selection of species, on regard is paid to their economic value as a lumber tree. What is needed is a great mass of large roots to form innumerable dams beneath, and a spreading dense growth to shelter the surface from sun and wind to prevent evaporation. For the most exposed and deso- late slopes we plant the knob cone pine [Pinus attenuata], indigenous on the poorest, hottest slopes of the mountains from San Bernardino to Shasta. It has the commendable trait of holding its seeds hermetically sealed in cones for the future, and the calamity that causes the death of the tree, liberates the seed to plant a greater area than existed before. The big cone spruce which once covered the greater area of our mountains below 5000 feet, and is indigenous only in Southern California, is in great favor and will be used largely. Anaheim, Cal.

The big cone spruce which once covered the greater area of our mountains below 5000 feet, and is indigenous only in Southern California, is in great favor and will be used largely. Also the big cone pine is desirable to plant with the above two species; on the hard places. On northerly slopes the incense cedar is used, also oaks. Above 5000 feet we can use the various forms of yellow pine, sugar pine, shore pine and lumber pine, though but few species will grow out of the zone in which we find them. However, the incense cedar, big cone, and knob cone are grateful for the opportunity to grow at any altitude. We are experimenting with a few each of many exotic species of brush and trees; especially promising at this time are found to be deodar cedar, Jerusalem pine and martime pine. Only long patient study and hard labor can bring success to this work. The past winter has been favorable, as a good rainfall distributed over six months has rendered the trees planted last winter are promising well. It is gratifying to know that the department has faith in the ultimate success of our efforts to reforest, which they have shown by establishing other nurseries.—T. P.
