Extension forester reveals harm done state tree planting Burt, Washington, Otoe, counties suffer losses The full extent of the damage done to tree planting in Nebraska by past unfavorable years was re vealed today as Clayton W. Wat kins, extension forester at the Ne braska agricultural college, dis closed that farmers in Missouri river counties even have suffered losses in active timber plantings. Farmers in Burt, Washington and Otce counties have taken heavy losses in native timber along the Missouri river bluffs, it was recently reported and Watkins in company with Ralph Bruce, Burt County agent, investigated the situation. The forester said tthe difficulty is a shortage of sub-soil moisture. "This has resuited from the last few years of limited rainfall, ag gravated by runoff, resulting from hiavy grazing," said Watkins. "The heaviest losses were noted in aieas where heavy grazing has been practiced for a number of years, leaving the ground bare in some places and noticeable short age of undergrowth. The lorcster said, however, there are quite a number bf dead and Fcriously weakened trees on areas which had been little grazed and even on areas where grazing had been prohibited entirely Therefore, he concluded, that not all can be charged oft to over grazing. "This Is rather a serious situa o o O Hon but one In which I think we must face the facts," he declares "Experiments by the horticultural department that the agricultural college have shown conclusively O that dense .stands of timber and even closely spaced orchards have depleted subsoil moisture to con siderable depths. This in Itself proves, I believe, that the major W. A. Dill dies at Kansas U. Director of publicity had served since 1921 LAWRENCE, Kas. William A. Dill, professor of journalism and director of publicity at the univer sity since 1921, died at his home of a heart attack Wednesday afternoon. Professor Dill had been ill for more than two weeks. Widely known for his interest in sports, Professor Dill was the author of numerous compilations of records of scores and when taken ill was working on a com posite record of all the Big Six schools in all sports. He had com pleted the compilation of scores of all football games played by Big Six schools since 1890. Mr. Dill's interest in sports, however, was a sideline during most of his years at the Univer sity. In his capacity of director of publicity he maintained an active interest in the doings of every department and school at the uni versity and showed a widely de veloped store of knowledge. Professor Dill handled sports publicity, in addition to his other duties from the fall of 1934 to the fall of 1937. At the same time he was teaching and handling pub licity for the Boy Scouts of this region. He had written several detailed and highly informative pamphlets on sports writing, which stand among the few treatises on this subject. His "Balancing the Box Score" was issued last year. Professor Dill attended the Uni versity of Oregon and received an A. B. degree there in 1908. After working on several newspapers in Oregon, he was appointed an in structor in journalism at the Uni versity of Kansas. In 1920 he left the university to take a position as assistant night manager in the Chicago office of the Associated Press. He returned to the university in 1921 and had been here since that time. factor causing these losses is the lack of available moisture." Watkins says the lesson to be learned is that periodic drouths must be taken into consideration In three planting and a system of wide spacing must be practiced. In addition, every method of moisture consideration in the way of contouring, terracing and soil cultural practices that will encour age absorption should be practiced In the establishment of farm wind breaks or woodlots. The practical procedure, says Watkins, to use in improving these damaged stands of both native and planted timber would be to remove dead and seriously weak ened trees and even thin out stands which are still fairly thrifty. This improvement cutting would eliminate to quite an extent the harbors for both insects and disease and allow a greater area for trees left in the plantings.
