Every Wafer Supply in America 

 Should be Proteded by Timber 



Is the spring from which comes your drinking water sufficiently protected? 



If it and the surrounding water shed is not covered with growing timber, 

 rain and melting snow will run off in torrents, soil will erode, sun and air will 

 dry up moisture, stagnant pools will form and gather germs and impurities and 

 with the first rains wash down and pollute your water supply. 



But if a forest covers the land, whether the area is half an acre or a hun- 

 dred thousand acres, snow and rain will be held and filtered, then gradually 

 released. Sorings will be never-failing, and streams constantly fiow pure and 

 undefiled. The timber planting can be made to yield $40 an acre every year 

 after the tenth. It will enhance the beauty of your community, and make it a 

 better place to live in. 



You should learn about this. You should know how to proceed to plant, 

 if you own the land, or how to get your city to act if the water supply is con- 

 trolled by the municipality. Climate, soil and industrial requirements are ail 

 in favor of extensive tree planting. 



Start with Hill's Trees this Year 



The D. Hill Nursery Company, Inc., are growers of seedlings and trans- 

 planted trees for Forest planting, and have specialized in this for over 50 years. 

 We have the facilities, the men, and the skill necessary to grow and handle 

 them right. Our central situation, enables us to deliver stock to both sea- 

 boards in two or three days. 



Our climate and soil are eminently adapted for the best root and top 

 growth. Our stock is acclimated. These points largely determine the success 

 or failure of any planting. 



We have recently published a valuable little book entitled "The Forest 

 Planters Guide," which every one interested in Forestry should have. Its sug- 

 gestions will be found helpful and its descriptions truthful. It contains a whole 

 lot of " boiled down" information. We will send you your copy today— free — 

 if you state where you saw this advertisement. Write today and tell us about 

 your situation, if convenient.
