A block of 50,000 three-year-old four- to nine-foot green ash trees in the state 



forest nursery. 



A tamarix hedge growing at the Fpr( Hays Branch Experiment Station, Hays,

 show how the hedge may be developed. The clump at the further end shows the 

 unsheared natural development. The tamarix is entirely hardy in western Kansas 

 and it is well adapted for hedges aoid ornamental planting.
