WASHINGTON, April S. The division of forestry of the t'nlted States Do pattment of Agriculture has decided to make n thorough examination during tho coming summer of tree growth In thn state of Nebraska. The object of this ex- ruination Is to determine If forest produc tion on a large scale is possible In this region. Throughout the greater part of Nebraska there Is but a sparse timber growth, while portions of tho state are practically treeless. Krom the results of the proposed Investigations the division of forestry hopes to devise means for ltn proving and extending the present forest growth, nnd, in tho case of the treeless regions, to formulate a plan of tree plant ing whereby the wasle lands may bo re claimed. The best methods of tree culture will be considered and a careful study will bo made of climate, soil and the natural enemies of trees in this region. For several years paid the division of forestry, through its section of trco plant ing, has been Investigating the forest growth In several of the middle states. The agents selected for the work to be done In Nebraska this summer ore men who have a practical knowledge cf the existing conditions nnd arc well fitted for tho task of making an exhaustive study of the region. The results obtained from this tour of Investigation will be of value to several of the neighboring state!, for In Kansns, South Dakota and portions of east ern Colorado and Wyoming much the same conditions exist.

Cattlemen la tbe Black Kills predict a decline in tho price of southern cattle. A number of big deals havo been made In his part of tho rango at a prlco not much higher than last spring. J, W. Drlsklll, a cattleman, bought last week 6,000 yearling steers In Toxas, to bo sent to his now Wyoming ranch. Tho Pemborton nud Cowden Cattle company bought 1,000 head of 2- yenr-old steers nt $22 per head, tho price nottlng $90,000. These cattle will be sent north about May 1. I'leltl to He Covered. The valley of the Platte river, from Plattstnouth to Kearney, and the entire western half of tho slate, will constitute the field of Investigation. About May t two representatives of the division will begin work nt Plnttsmouth and go up tho river examining and clarslfylng tho growth of trees. Kspoclal attention will be paid to the distribution of species and to tho efforts lo cultivate considerable bodies of timber. In tbo Investigation of tree plant ing experiments the failures as well as the successes will bo noted, for It Is desirable to obtain nil possible information on the subject. It Is expected that Kearney will be reached before July 1. At this point tho parly will be Increased to six mcmbera and will bo equipped with a complete camp outfit nnd saddle horses. The following four months will bo spent in work that will practically cover the western half of the stntc. Tho line of travel will bo from Kearney to tho western boundary of the state, along tho Plnttc. thence northwest to Crawford, and then In n general south easterly direction through the band hills. nnd down the Middle Loup river to Loup City. A wide strip of territory can be studied on each sldo of the route, as the party will be mounted, and particular attention is to bo given to tho distribution nnd re production of the yellow pine. Nebraska is tho meeting ground of tho plains nnd mountain floras, and for this reason much valuable nnd Interesting Information is likely to be obtained. Co-npcrntlon by the people along the route to be taken by I he government party will greatly facilitate the work. Fnlth In the I'nture. Tho division of forestry has received sufllclcnt encouragement from work already done In Nebraska to warrant the thorough examination thnt Is to be made this Hum mer. The fact that many tree growers In tho stato nro already realUIng substantial profits from planted timber Is noteworthy. A number of men who have had wide ex perience in dealing with the problem of forestry In Nebraska havo written to tho division of forestry stating that there Is no doubt In their minds of tho possibility of increasing the present scant growth of trees, and agreeing that even tho sand hills can bo forested. Among those who have expressed such an opinion arc ex-Secretary of Agrlculturo J. Sterling Morton, Prof. Charles K. Ressey, of thn University of Ne braska, C. S. Ilnrrlson, president of the Nebraska Park and Forest association, and K. K. Stephens. The rapid spread of Interest In forestry 111 soon bring landowners to realize that timber may bo considered as truly an agri cultural crop as wheat and corn. With the division of forestry investigating tho best methods of trco culture and offering its nil- Ico and assistance to landowners Inter- sted In tree-planting, thero In no reason believe that In tho near future much headway will be mndo In bringing about reasonable forest growth on lands now lmost treeless. Tho work oulllned by tho division, look ing to tho Improvement of Nebraska forests, should attract general attention, consider ing that throughout this region forest prod ucts nro In constant demand, commanding high prices and presenting n profitable field for tho Investment of capital. Improved forest conditions In Nebraska would mean henper fuel, a beneficial Influence on local climate, with a consequent lncreaso In the aluo of land. WASHINGTON, April S.
