IN THE REALM OF FORESTRY Every Child Should Know Importance of Arbor Day—Forest Planting on the Prairies — Menace of Lumbering ARBOR DAY One mission of Arbor Day should be to make every child in the United States know the native trees near his home, how they grow, and how they are produced. Such a lesson will ultimately be invaluable when the nation begins to realize the necessity for conservative lumbering and the arts of reforesting. Then it will be known what trees to use. The facts of which the general public is now taking cognizance, as to the essential relation of tree growth to the material side of our civilization, can on Arbor Day be impressed upon the childish mind, so that the next generation will be readier than the present to use economically this gift of Providence. A circular on Arbor Day issued by the Forest Service, says: "What child has not seen a muddy freshet? Yet this sight, so common in the spring, is full of suggestion for a forest lesson. An experiment with fine and coarse soils stirred quickly in a tumbler of water and then allowed to settle explains how the stream continues muddy while it runs swiftly, and how it clears again as it slackens on more level stretches, dropping the soil to the bottom. A forest on a mountain slope may be pictured by a cloth upon a tilted table; then if water be poured on the higher edge, it will creep downward pears to be in comparison, acreage, has done much to reduce severity of the winters; more would think. What is needed now is fence posts, for fuel and for well as protection against the of the winter and the heat of mer. A FEW ACRES OF TREES The importance of timber farm is becoming planer eased. The uses and needs are not these increase as the farmer older. The one feature of creates within itself almost a demand for timber for posts. Stone are sometimes suggest coming fence post. This though the farmer was absolutely less in the matter of supply farmer need not look to any side his land resources for or fuel, if he decides that he and produce these himself. Of quickly growing timbers few years supply fence posts for all the needs of the far simply a matter of planting paring for tree growth. It does not require the life man to do this and reap the True, it will take from ten years to see these trees satis serviceable, yet this time is on a prairie homestead without fort being made to plant, cu grow a tree. THE BLIGHT OF LUMBER In an article copied from the boro (N. C.) Industrial New stated that in recent years county has not raised enough ducts for home consumption annually sent out thousands for corn, flour, bacon and other sites. Instead of making full of suggestion for a forest lesson. An experiment with fine and coarse soils stirred quickly in a tumbler of water and then allowed to settle explains how the stream continues muddy while it runs swiftly, and how it clears again as it slackens on more level stretches, dropping the soil to the bottom. A forest on a mountain slope may be pictured by a cloth upon a tilted table; then if water be poured on the higher edge, it will creep downward through the cloth and drip slowly from the lower edge, as would rain falling upon the forest. If now the cloth be plucked off, and the water still poured, we may observe at once what happens when such a forest is destroyed." This is an admirable illustration of the difference in run-off between the spongy soil of a forest and the bare soil or bed rock from which the forest litter has been removed. Innumerable applications are made by citizens all over the country for trees from the government nurseries. These cannot be granted because the government is unable to grow trees enough for the planting needed in the national forests. The states, however, might provide for such distribution. F. W. Rane, State forester of Massachusetts, has offered 150 each of white ash and white pine seedlings for one dollar; also a few seedlings and a stock of various tree seeds for schools, for the same price. Many acceptances received for both offers. Co-operation in such efforts is an excellent way for nurserymen to stimulate a demand for young trees. The seeds and seedlings offered by Mr. Rane gave the stock for an excellent school nursery. FOREST PLANTING ON THE PRAIRIES If the young farmers and the children of the older farmers in the prairie states are during the later years of their lives to be supplied with cheap fence posts and cheap fuel whether there is a car shortage on the railroad or not, there must be a great deal more attention paid to forest planting on the farm than there has been heretofore. There was considerable forest planting in these states in the early years of their settlement. The object then in view was not to secure post timber or building material or fuel, but to protect the farm houses and other buildings from the storms of the western winter. THE BLIGHT OF LUMBER In an article copied from the boro (N. C.) Industrial Newspaper stated that in recent years county has not raised enough ducts for home consumption annually sent out thousands for corn, flour, bacon and other sites. Instead of making people have devoted themselves out lumber and tanbark they have been added that they for these, and for hauling the road stations, just about daily and the tanbark peelers cut trees for the bark and leave to rot on the ground. Thus they are stripped of their timber any adequate compensation, money received is sent off for plies. In this matter Wilkes exceptional among western there are others that pursue wasteful poverty-inviting citizen of Alexandria county in his opinion his county is than it was twenty years ago people are cutting their timelling it for a song; and wood land, their chief asset wealth, is disappearing, that and wagons are running down. Those people need an Ap reserve or something to save themselves. North Carolina, added, has derived this benefit the panic—that it has so redemand for lumber that saw will not now pay for it even tion prices at which they buying it, and the destructive axe and the sawmill have least temporarily suspended. The Greensboro News above, and referring to the North Carolina, comments that our contemporary handsily portrayed conditions is known. There is no way of comp loss which this lumber bus entailed upon the people of Farming interests in many places been neglected to an extent fatal, while the main thorou have been cut to pieces by hauling. It is generally agree believe, that at this time of depression, while men engage there is a car shortage on the railroad or not, there must be a great deal more attention paid to forest planting on the farm than there has been heretofore. There was considerable forest planting in these states in the early years of their settlement. The object then in view was not to secure post timber or building material or fuel, but to protect the farm houses and other buildings from the storms of the western winter. Times change, and farmers must change with them. The forest tree planting in the west, small as it appears. Nursing baby? It's a heavy strain on mother.

This will not apply, however, to the farmer of western Carolina, or to any other section of the state, who a few years ago exchanged the ploughshare for the axe. TREES THAT WERE, BUT ARE NOT As illustrating the destruction of white pine, the editor of the Jackson (Mich.) Patriot told the secretary of American Forestry Association, in the former's office, that he has ridden in a canoe on the Au Sable river, right through the heart of what was once the white pine region, and not until the end of the second day was an expert on forest trees able to point out, at a long distance, a single white pine—the first they had encountered during the entire trip. La Habra Cut-Off Those watching the progress of the Santa Fe in its work up the Santa Ana canyon and in its proposed cut-off from Yorba, have come to the conclusion that the cut-off is to swing north of Fullerton through La Habra valley. The Santa Fe may head off the Pacific Electric and build the first railroad through the La Habra valley, notwithstanding that the Huntington company has held a right of way through the La Habra for a year or two. The Santa Fe is spending nearly $300,000 in regrading, straightening and otherwise fixing its Riverside line up the Santa Ana river. One of the head employees stated recently that the next work would be the cut-off from Yorba to La Habra valley. According to the survey now being made the cutoff would leave the main line near Yorba. The Santa Fe is spending nearly $300,000 in regrading, straightening and otherwise fixing its Riverside line up the Santa Ana river. One of the head employees stated recently that the next work would be the cut-off from Yorba to La Habra valley. According to the survey now being made the cutoff would leave the main line near Yorba, then go west below the Olinda oil wells, passing a little north of Placentia, thence west through the valley, joining the Santa Fe again at La Habra, leaving Fullerton to the south. This would reduce the running time between Los Angeles and Riverside forty-five minutes. Some months ago it was reported this cutoff would be built between Fullerton and Yorba, but this would carry the line through the heart of Placentia, and a right of way alone through the last named place would cost at least $500,000, while the entire right of way can be had through La Habra at small expense. Oil is being developed in many parts of La Habra, and it is believed the Santa Fe is after the business of that section. This cut-off it is believed would closely follow the proposed Huntington line from Los Nietos to Riverside via La Habra, North Placentia, Olinda and Yorba, and might head off the electric line to Riverside altogether. The cut-off, carrying the overland trains out of Los Angeles at reduced running time, and enabling the company to haul heavier trains, might more than double the present business.
