Wherever the site is favorable, black locust and hardy catalpa 

 should be given preference. 



FARM REPAIRS. 



Green ash. Honey locust. 



Black locust. Hardy catalpa. 



Black walnut. 



WINDBREAKS AND SHELTERBELTS. 



Almost any tree may be planted for protection purposes, but the 

 following list includes the best kinds: 



Cotton wood. Carolina poplar. 



Russian golden willow. White willow. 



Hackberry. White elm. 



Russian olive. Buffalo berry. 



Silver maple. Boxelder. 



Western yellow pine. Jack pine. 



Blue spruce. Rocky Mountain juniper. 



ORNAMENTAL PLANTING. 



There is greater latitude in selecting trees for ornament than for 

 any other purpose. A perfect specimen of any tree is usually orna- 

 mental. The list below is not intended to be exhaustive, but includes 

 the trees which, in general, are best adapted to ornamental planting. 



White elm. Hackberry. 



Green ash. Carolina poplar. 



White poplar. Russian golden willow. 



Russian olive. Boxelder. 



Silver maple. Blue spruce. 



Bull pine. Rocky Mountain juniper. 



ESTABLISHMENT OF PLANTATIONS. 

 PLANT MATERIAL. 



For establishing forest belts and woodlots with the broadleaf trees 

 recommended in this report, 1-year-old or 2-year-old seedlings will be 

 suitable. Ordinarily 1 -year-old stock will be large enough, but in the 

 case of Russian olive and buffalo berry 2-year-old stock will be better. 

 In planting conifers, 3-year-old stock, once transplanted, is recom* 

 mended. Wild seedlings of jack pine collected, in the Lake States 

 may be substituted for the nursery-grown stock in case the latter is 

 not available. 



In general, if ornamental planting is the sole object, larger stock is 

 better, since results can be realized much sooner. In this case, coni-
