WHITE WILLOW. 



In mentioning- the trees suitable for planting in eastern Nebraska 

 white willow must not be omitted. It is hardy thruout this region. 

 It has been widel}" planted as a wind-break, for which purpose its 

 quick growth, profuse branching habit, and hardiness especially com- 

 mend it. Its fuel value is somewhat greater than that of cotton wood- 

 tho in plantations it does not grow quite so rapidly. Like the cotton- 

 wood, it is a moisture-loving tree, and on this account does not do 

 well on dry upland. It is especial h^ adapted for planting on low, 

 marshy ground bordering the streams and ravines. White willow has 

 been used to some extent for fence posts, and for this it is somewhat 

 more durable than cottonwood. Its tendency to produce a crooked 

 stem makes it difficult to grow a large percentage of straight trees per 

 acre. 



Plantatio?i JVo. £. — This plantation is situated on the first bottom of 

 the Platte River. The altitude is about 1,200 feet. The soil is a rich 

 sandy loam. The plantation was established by planting 1 -year-old
