Impressions by the Way. 



Forest, lake and stream are inseparable ; the preservation 

 of one means the perpetuation of the other. In the middle 

 west where originally the timber supply was short, people 

 know its importance as a homemaker and are making every 

 effort to encourage the planting, protecting and preservation of 

 forest trees. 



In Nebraska over 250,000 acres have been planted with 

 forest trees and according to the last reports the state now has 

 1,500,000 acres covered with forest. 



If this state of affairs continues until the end of the century 

 the section of country once laid on the map as the "Great 

 American Desert" is destined to become one of the richest and 

 most beautiful agricultural regions in the world.
