FORESTRY IN LOUISIANA 



•DEFORESTATION of Louisiana and 

 conservation of those forests already 

 standing in the state is the purpose of a 

 popular movement which has heen inau- 

 gurated through the efforts of R. D. Forbes, 

 superintendent of Forestry for Louisiana. 

 An association has been organized, and 

 one of its chief purposes will be the pro- 

 motion of public sentiment in favor of the 

 utmost co-operation in the prevention and 

 suppression of forest fires. 



Mr. Forbes believes that one of the chief 

 causes of waste in lumber building mater- 



ials is forest fire. The state still has ex- 

 tensive areas of forest, and it is the plan 

 to save as much as possible of them for 

 the uses of industry and the public through 

 an active campaign against forest fires. 



BURN WOOD AND SAVE 

 COAL 



PLANTING TREES IN A NEW WAY 



p ARK COMMISSIONERS are supposed 



to be pretty wise in matters pertain- 

 ing to trees, but the more open-minded 

 among them are constantly learning new 

 wrinkles. The old saying that experience 

 is a great teacher applies in tree lore as 

 well as in many other lines of human en- 

 deavor. 



Mr. William J. Butler, general manager 

 of the Board of Commissioners of West 

 Park, Joliet) Illinois, a few years ago read in 

 the magazines that dynamite was great stuff 

 to use in preparing holes in which to plant 

 young trees. But he was a conscientious 

 man, and did not feel it would be right to 

 try out experimental ideas in the public 

 park, which was entrusted to his care, so 

 he determined to test it in his own private 

 orchard. 



He ordered from a nursery some Early 

 Richmond cherry trees, some Siberian 

 crabs and several other varieties of apples 

 and decided to plant them in blasted soil. 



But, realizing the need of something to 

 compare with, in order to see just what 

 the advantages might be of the new method, 

 he induced some of his neighbois to order 

 some of the same stock, from the same 

 nursery, and plant it at the same time, in 

 soil of similar characteristics, in spade-dug 

 lioles. 



Mr. Butler says the tree holes on hi.*; 

 place were blasted with half sticks of dyna- 

 mite. The neighbors dug their holes in the 

 good, old-fashioned way. 



All the trees were two-year-old nursery 

 stock. Three years after planting, Mr. 

 Butler writes : 



"My trees are actually twice as large, 

 and look healthier in every way. I had 

 plenty of cherries and crab apples this sea- 

 son, also some other apples, while there 

 was not the sign even of a blossom on the 

 trees planted in the undynaniited soil. 

 Trees on both places have had practically 

 the same care, so I am satisfied in my own 

 mind that the difference in growth is due 

 entirely to the different modes of planting. 



"All I knew about dynamite as used in 

 tree planting was what I had read in the 

 magazines, and I was merely experiment- 

 ing when I planted my trees. But I want 

 to say now that if I had 40 orchards to 

 plant not a tree would be set out that was 

 not in a dynamited hole." 



Evidently Joliet citizens residing near 

 West Park may be expecting to be treated 

 to a little display of fireworks the next time 

 any trees are to be set out in the park. If 

 Mr. Butler will do the planting on the 

 4th of July it will be unnecessary for the 

 boys of that ncighborliood to invest any 

 money in firecrackers to fittingly celebrate 

 the glorious day that typifies our independ- 

 ence.
