The state of Nebraska, offers also a
large field for economic planting of
forest trees. In this state alone there
are probably over eleven million acres
of land unfit for agriculture. The For

every year it is extending its planting
operations as far as possible, and meet

In this movement in the sandhills, I

corresponds somewhat to the celebrat

which in its former state was a great
economic loss to the French people.
Someone conceived the idea of re
claiming it Herbaceous plants were
first started, then shrubs and finally
pine trees. After once getting a foot
ing the trees improve these areas with
additional humus, and change com
pletely the site conditions. The
Landes District has now many fertile
fields, and is a health resort.
Let us hope that the planting now
being done in our own sand hills may
meet with the success which has at
tended the forestration of the sand
hill region of France.
Other Values from Planting
Aside from the value of the final
crop which is the economic value
usually figured in tree planting, be
cause it can be measured in dollars
and cents, there are other great bene
fits or unmeasured values resulting.
Under this head comes the pro
tection a forest cover gives to water
sheds, regulating and consenting the
flow of streams, thus preventing floods.
erosion and low water. The presence
of a forest makes towns more attrac
tive and better places to live In. Take
away a forest, and it often changes a
scenic wonder to desolation. Planting
is also a gain to the community In
another way. It employs a great
amount of local labor, and large
amounts of money are spent locally
for snpp'.ies and equipment Oa the
National Forests. 23 per cent of the
ralue of the crop, returns to the state
to be used la building schools and
roads.
Arbor Day has done a great deal to
promote tree planting where greatly
needed, but better yet it has caused a
love for the trees and places made
bautiful by them. It also enlarges
our view to possibilities in future
nlanting. on areas now waste lands
both for economic and aesthetic rea
sons.
Lincoln mav never have its munici
pal forest, or the sand hill region of
our 6tate may never be a second
"Landes District" but "without a
vision the people perish."
