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.

SPKAHKISH. S. IX, April . (Special.)
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. The Spanish
