Prairie Plaxtixg 

 (Manitoba Free Press Editorial.) 



There is no reason why the prairies 

 should remain bald and treeless in practi- 

 cally any part of western Canada. Trees 

 an be grown and grown quickly if the 

 proper methods are followed. Remark- 

 able results can be attained in ten years 

 in establishing tree belts that will act as 

 windbreaks, stop drifting, and control 

 moisture evaporation. A visit to the 

 federal government plantations at Indian 

 Head. Sask., will be a revelation and an 

 inspiration to western Canadians who 

 have an idea that Providence decreed 

 that this should be a treeless land. Pro- 

 vidence meant nothing of the kind. 

 Nature is doing her best to clothe the 

 western plains with trees. The tree belt, 

 in the natural course of events, is stead- 

 ily travelling" westward. 



The whole landscape of the w^estern 

 plains could be changed in 25 years by 

 intelligent and systematic forestation. 

 Trees are an asset so easily accrued that 

 the planting of them should no longer be 

 neglected. Now is the time to begin.
