We were very much pleased to re
ceive hist Wednesday a visit from
Prof Barrick and other teachers of the
Ainsworth school all of whom express
ed themselves as highly pleased with
tlie work and methods which are being
carried out in oufschoo
out the greater part of Nebraska there
is but a sparse timber growth while
portions of the state are practically
treeless From the result of the pro
posed investigations the Division of for
estry hopes to devise means of improv
ing and extending the present forest
growth and in the case of the treeless
regions to formulate a plan of tree I
planting whereby the waste lands may
be reclaimed Tne best methods of tree
culture will be considered and fa care
ful study will be made of climate soil
and the natural enemies of trees in this
region For several years past the Div
ision of Forestry through its section of
tree planting has been investigating the
forest growth in several of the middle
western states The agents selected
for the work to be done in Nebraska
this summer are men who have a prac
tical knowledge of the existing condit
ions and are well fitted for the task of
making an exhaustive study of the re
gion The results obtained from this
tour of investigation will be of value to
several of the neighboring states for in
Kansas South Dakota and portions of
eastern Colorado and Wyoming much
the same conditions exist The valley
of the Platte river from Plattsmouth
to Kearney and tho entire western half
of the state will constitute the field of
investigation About May 1 tw 0 rep
rdsentatives of the diyision will begin
work at Plattsniouth and go up the riv
er examiningand classifying the growth
of trees Especial attention will be
paid to the distrubution of species and
to all efforts to cultivate considerable
bodies of timber In the investigation
of tree planfng experiments the fail
ures as well as the successes will be no
ted for it is desireable to obtain all pos
sible information on the subject It is
expected that Kearney will be reached
before July 1 At this point the party
will be increased to six members and
will be equipped with a complete camp
outfit and saddle horses The follow-
that will practically cover the western
half of the state The line of travel
will be from Kearney to the western
bonndary of the state alorg the Platte
thence northeast to Crawford and then
in a general southeasterly direction
through the sand hills and down the
Middle Loup river to Loup A
on each side of the route as the parly
will be mounted arid particular attent
ion is to be given to the distribution
and reproduction of the Yellow Pinr
Nebraska is the meeting ground of the
plains and mountain floras and for this
reason much valuable and interesting
information is likely tn be obtained
Cooperation by the peopie along the
route to be takeu by the Government
party will greatly facilitate the work
The Division of Fon slry has received
sufficient encouragement for work al
ready done in Nebraska to warrant the
thorough examination that is to be
made this summer The fact that
Tiie Division of Porestrv of the U kmanv tree growers in the stnte ro ci
S Department of agriculture has ready realizing substantial proits from
ed to make a thorough examination planted timber is noteworthy Anum

scale is possible in this region tliere 1S n doubt in their minds of the
possibility of increasing the presanfe
scant growth of trees and agreeing that
even the sand hills can be forested
Among those who have expressed such
tn opinion are Ex Secretary of Agricul
ure J Sterling Morton Prof Charles
E Bessey of the Uuiversity of Nebras
ka C S Harrison president of the
Nebraska Park and Forest Assosiatson
and E F Stephens The rapid spread
of interest forests will soon bring in
landowners to realize that timber may
be considered as truly an agricultural
crop as wheat or corn With the divis
ion forestry investigating the best meth
ods of tree culture and offering its ad
vice and assistance to landowners inter
ested in tree planting there is reason to
believe that in the near fu ture much
headway will be made in bringing
about a reasonable forest growth on
lands now almost treeless The work
outlined by the Diyision looking to the
improvemedtof Nebraska forests should
attract general attention considering
lhat tproughout this region forest jpro
ducts are in constant demand com
manding high prices and presenting a
profitable field for the investment of
capital Improved forest conditions in
Nebraska would mean cheaper fuel a
beneficial influence on local climate
with a consequent increase in the value
of land
