former inspector. The jury was out two 

 days. Mr. Eeed sued for $6,500 for the 

 destruction of approximately 10,000 ap- 

 ple trees shipped to Arapahoe county, 

 Colorado. Eounsevell went into Arap- 

 ahoe county and ordered the trees 

 burned because they had; in his opinion, 

 crown gall and other dangerous dis- 

 eases. The suit was filed nearly three 

 yegrs ago. The American Association 

 of Nurserymen came to the aid of Mr. 

 Beed, as previously reported in The 

 Review, on the theory that if the in- 

 spectors were permitted to condemn 

 stock on their own judgment the trade 

 would lose thousands of dollars. They 

 attacked the constitutionality of the 

 law and charged Rounsevell with mal- 

 ice. Arrayed against the nurserymen's 

 association were the various fruit 

 growers' associations and individuals 

 who claim that the state officers were 

 right in condemning the trees; that 

 crown gall made its way through irri- 

 gation channels from orchard to orchard 

 and was a fatal malady, even though 

 its work was slow. Judge Lewis or- 

 dered that the jury pay no attention 

 to the charges of malice charged 

 against Eounsevell and assess only the 

 actual damages. 



BEFOBESTATION. 



Forester Graves told the House Com- 

 mittee on Agriculture at Washington re- 

 cently that there were on the national 

 forests a great many nurseries, but in 

 some cases the service found it desira- 

 ble to buy nursery stock for experi- 

 mental or other purposes. For the most 

 part the Service raised its own stock. 

 Much of the seed was collected on the 

 forest, though it had purchased a good 

 deal of seed from other sections. Last 

 year about $90,000 was spent on collect- 

 ing and purchasing seed and the balance 

 of the money was spent on work in the 

 nurseries and for the work of sowing 

 and other methods of reforestation. 

 About 20,000 acres were reforested last 

 year and this year 30,000 acres would be 

 reforested. 



PINES FOR WIND-BREAK. 



Would you consider Pinus Austriaca 

 a safe tree to plant outdoors in this 

 part of New York state? I wish to 

 make a wind shelter, eastern exposure. 

 The climate here is cold in winter, 

 sometimes 36 degrees below zero; 

 height, 1,700 feet above the sea level.) 

 If the pine mentioned is not suitable, 

 will you please name a variety more 

 suitable to this part of the Catskillsf 



J. C. A. 



Pinus Austriaca is a dense growing, 

 hardy pine, which will withstand even 

 the temperatures you name. Its mas- 

 sive branches, covered with long, thick 

 dark green needles, make a most efifect- 

 ive wind shelter. The Scotch pine, P. 

 sylvestris, while not so dense in habit as 

 P. Austriaca, is more rapid-growing and 

 Boon makes an effective block. It is 

 suitable for the most exposed and wind- 

 swept situations. The white pine, P. 

 Strobus, is another reliable and quick- 

 growing pine for this purpose, but is 

 less dense than the two other sorts 

 named. C. W.
