I'ngs by thousands !or planting along their rights of way to act as

THE STUDY of frevailinf, climalic conJilions, the deterioration of rain- 
fall and consequent sterility of once fertile farm lands throughout the 
middle west has pointed to one remedy— leforcstat'on. Girmany sats 
us the example by the establishment of Governmental arbors through- 
out her forests where seedlings are grown to replenish fallen timber. In 
this country reforestation has been entrusted to the farmers themselves 
in the belief that self-interest would promote prompt and efficient action. 
For this purpose we have established, at our Nurseries, large arbors mod- 
eled on the German plan, where we grow from seed millions of Evergreen 
and forest tree seedlings that may be obtained by the planter at merely 
nominal expense. Below are a few of the more obvious advantages re- 
sulting from this planting. First— They beautify- your farm, increasing 
its value and selling-price ten-fold. Second— They fertili/.e your soil, 
conserving moisture by holding snow and rain among the roots. Third- 
Planted as windbreaks, they afford protection for stock from winter winds 
and summer storms. Fourth — General reforestation m;ans the saving 
of the farm lands. Fifth— A grove of White Spruce or other pine, planted 
now, in twenty years wiP yield a heavy return in marketable timber. 
THE farmer or sardener may gain 
any one or all of these advan- 
tages lor himself by planting fCver- 
i-recns. All F.vergrcens should be 
;>lanted in the Spring.
