ANOTHER REASON FOR SAVING THE BUSH. 
A forest at the headwaters of a river, holding the snow and preventing its 
rapid melting during a thaw. The wholesale destruction of such a forest of 
course means that the rivers draining the slopes become liable to periddic 
/ . flo ods. 
THE KIND OF TREE-GROWING NEEDED HERE. 
A Catalpa grove ten years old with a net value of 200 dollars (£40) an acre. 
The Catalpa and many other foreign trees will grow rapidly here, and will give 
a splendid return at an early age.
