This photo Ti'om one of my Kansas patrons shows what Chinese Elms can do. 
Planted 18 to 24 inch seedlings in the spring of 1937. Picture taken Septem¬ 
ber 1, 1938, many of the trees 10 ft. or larger, and up to 2 inches thick in the 
stems. Never irrigated, however, they were hoed and cultivated. 
A woodlot stops the wind, 
holds snow and moisture. 
WrTr*lr T Robina Pseudoacacia. 
HiaCK liOCUSl In great favor for 
Erosion Control. It holds the soil firmly 
even on extremely steep ground, due to 
its habit of forming a dense network of 
roots, which sometimes make sprouts. 
This tree grows fairly fast; it is a valu¬ 
able tree for its wood also.

Osage Orange 
will positively not make suckers from the 
roots. You can grow pasture or lawn 
grass under this tree, and the grass will 
do extra well in the shade of this Locust. 
It is a clean tree, of the hardwood type 
but growing quite rapidly. Perfectly 
hardy everywhere, resists drought extra 
well. For timber, wood-lots, for shade 
in grazing grounds, and, due to its very 
stout thorns, for strong, protective cattle 
fences. For theft and cattle proof fences 
plant 18 inches to 2 feet apart in the row.

Russian Mulberry 
tree that would combine so many good 
features. The tree is entirely hardy, re¬ 
sists drought well, is even successful in 
alkali soil. Grows very rapidly. It is a 
perfect boarding house for song birds and 
bees. The wood is very valuable, espe¬ 
cially for posts which are very long last¬ 
ing, and can be grown in a short time. 
Finally, the seedlings can be planted like 
Privets for an ornamental (sheared 
Soft Maple, Silver Maple 
Acer dasycarpum. A very popular timber 
and shade tree, hardy and a rapid grower.

No 
timber or wood-lot 
is complete without a few rows of Black 
Walnut; even in the windbreak the taller 
growth of Black Walnut is very desirable 
for the center rows. Tree hardy, grows 
fairly fast, on low land, creek bends, etc. 
It grows as fast as softwood trees. Of 
special value for its wood. A Black Wal¬ 
nut timber on your farm represents most 
appreciable assets.

Ex- 
Cultivate for the first year to keep the weeds down, and the soil loose. This means 
added growth. The corn cultivator will do the work. Commencing the third or fourth 
ear after planting, cut out every second stem for a post. Make a second cutting for 
itavy posts after another four years which makes room for the remaining trees to 
grow up to big timber, at a distance of 12x12 or 16x16 feet.
