LOW OR WET LANDS 43; 



The ideal place for growing the willow for making baskets, 

 furniture, etc., is in these rich bottom lands. When the 

 sprouts are of the required size they are harvested and others- 

 grow to take their places. 



Overflow streams and brooklets are often kept within their 

 banks and not allowed to gulley out and carry away so much 

 of valuable soil containing plant food, where tree growth 

 bounds their course. By keeping these soils in forest growth 

 something is derived from them that otherwise would be 

 wasted. Just how to assist, improve, and keep them in for- 

 estry can be solved if we carefully study out the conditions and 

 act accordingly.
