ADVISE PLANTING LOCUSTS.
Circular Issued by University Shows
Advantages of Black Variety.
"As a combination shelter, commer
cial, and ornamental tree, there is none
that equals black locust," Is the state
ment made in Circular 11, Black Lo
cust In Idaho, just Issued by the
School of Forestry, University of Ida
ho. The circular points out the range
of this tree for planting In this state,
discusses its economic uses, uud gives
instructions for establishing wind
breaks and wood lots. The circular may
he had ou request. The School of
l'oies try offers one year old seedlings
of black locust to citizen:; of the state
at cost
The circular follows:
Forest planting in the treeless belts
of Idaho has been all too meagre.
Every farm here on which trees can
lie grown oould carry a certain amount
of planting to advantage, and no other
farm lmprovemeut will pay so well lu
proportion to the expense involved.
Therel s urgent need for protection
from wind, and for this purpose noth
ing serves better than a shield of trees.
An effective shelter belt properly
placed about the farm buildings and
stockyards will make the handling of
llvqptock more economical, not to men
tion the added comfort and pleasure
it will give to the home.
Far greater emphasis should be
placed ou the commercial side of forest
planting. If the shelter beyt is extend
ed Into a fair sized wood lot, not only
the protective and ornamental value
of the planting will be enhanced, but
a large part of the timber supply, such
as fuel, fence posts, and repair mater
ial, used on the farm can be grown.
Much more tree planting for orna
mental purposoo should be dime.
Towns and cities should encourage
street planting. School and church
grounds offer unexcelled opportunities
for planting of this sort. Concerted
effort along these Hales will add great
ly to the attractiveness of the whole
region.
The practice of planting trees along
the public highways is most commend
able. Not only do roadside trees add
to the beauty of the farm, but they
have a positive economic value In the
protection they afford to crops and
farm animals, ami in the products they
yield.
As a combinai ion shelter, cummer-1
rial, aud ornamental tree there is none
that eqauls the blaek locust for the
belts in question. Others may be
grown here, but thin circular will be
coufined to thin one tree.
Natural Range.
Black locust is native to the s1oik*h
of the ApiNilacliinn mountains from
Pennsylvania to northern Georgia,
amt iu iHirts of Arkansas and eastern
Oklahoma. It lias been extensively
plaiit«*d in the United States, especially
Aast of the Rocky mountains. It was
Introduced into tin* extreme west by
the early settlers, and has IxK'n widely
planted fortunately. In this region,
i«K|K*ciHlty In western Utah anil eastern
Washington.
Range for Planting hi Idaho.
The rfnge of black locust for plant
ing in the treeless belts of Idaho In
cludes practically all of such belts lie
tow 4<>00 feet elevation, where the an
nual precipitation is 12 to 15 inches or
over. Occasionally It sunveds without
'Irrigation, where the ralnfHll Is less !
than 12 Inches. Under irrigation, blaek
Im-iist will succeed anywhere in the
state Ik*Iow altitude;; of 4000 feet, pro

Habits and Rate of Growth.
Black liK'iiNt In adapted to a wide
range of soil coml'irions, hut it tbrlvea
liest oil rich loams. Tlmugh im'i'c to
a region of large rainfalls, it is siir
I i-isiiigly drought resistant in the dry

the liK-ust freezes hi winter only

in contact with the ground,
used In bridge construction, the man
ufacture of vehicles and implements,
in shiii building and for fenee jiosts.
It is one of the liest woods known
fur use as tree nails, and is in great
demand at this time by manufacturers
of womlen ships. Owing to Its great
durability in contact with the soil,
black locust Is more generally used for
fence posts than for any other purpose.
The average life of locust posts is 25
to 30 years.

Propagation!
In establishing a windbreak or wood
lot of black locust, the use of one
year old seedlings Is advised. Such
stock will run from 18 to 21 Inches In
height, which Is a desirable size for
planting. Somewhat larger stock, say
8 to 10 feet high, may
vantage, where only a
wanted as in ornamental planting. Ex
cellent stock may be purchased at cost
from the School of Forestry or from
nurserymen at reasonable prices, and
Heim'S of reliable firms will be fur
l ietied on application.
Black locust Is easily propagated
from seed and parties wishing to grow
their own stock can readily do so. Full
directions will be sent on request.
Time to Plaint.
The best time to plaint Is in the
early spring, rather tha|n In the fall,

How to Handle tljie Stock.
Immediately on the tirrival of the
trees at the railroad station they

farm, aud If
une day. If
necessary to hold them over, they
should be unpacked and heeled In. This
is done by digging a trench of suit
able length, say six feet, and of suf
ficient depth to take in the roots of
the plants full length. One side of
the trench should be slightly sloping.
Against this sloping side place a lay
er of trees, roots down, and bank with
earth to a level with the surface. The
layer of soil should ne
inches thick,, well packed, and the out
side left somewhat sloping, against
which place the next layer of plants.

Spacing.
In establishing a plantation of blaek
liM'tist where the annual precipitation
is less than 25 Inches, ns pacing of
MxH feet Is recommended. Where the
precipitation Is iu excels of 25 inches
cis
(
l
yearly, the spacing may lie closer, say
4x8 or 6x6 feet.
Under irrigation, a
spading of 4x4 feet is commonly used.
In nrnmnmental planting the tend
ency is to plant tiKi close. Tin* object
sought here Is symmetrically formed
Ink's, even in late life which cannot

locust where planted for ornamental
puriKises should not Ik« closer than 40
feet a|iart. or rarely 30 feet, unless

where the simclng may Ik* 20 to 25 feet.

The
Cutting Back
In order to secure straight stems
for fence posts, double headed or
crooked trees should be cut back to
the ground at the end of the first
second, or even the third growing
season. The stump will send up a
strong, vigorous shoot the season fol
lowing, which in a few years will
bo as large as the other trees of the
stand not so treated. If more than
'one sprout starts from a given stump,
all but the most promising should be
cut off In August of the first season.
Pruning.
, The wide s[iacing recommended will
make more or lens artificial pruning
necessary in order to Insure d<>slrable
fence post stock. Pruning will also
stimulate height growth.
EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS
Special Evangelistic Meetings, under
the leadership of the Rev. Charles
MacCaughey, of Moscow, will begin in
the Christian church March 7th aud
continue at least two weeks. These
meetings are to be the combined ef
fort of the Protestant Christian forces
of Grangeville for the promotion of the
religious life of the community. It Is
hot the Intention that this effort shall
aim at mere sensatinalism or denomi
national needs, but at the awakening,
deepening and enlargement of the mor
al and spiritual life of all. That there
is great and urgent need of that no
one who knows, will question ; and
. there Is no more paramount interest
liefere the community. Therefore. w<*
ask, and think we have a light to
expect, that professed followers of Je
sus Christ shall lay nside personal and
social pleasures and activities, and, as
far as [lossible, all conflicting inter
ests; and devote tlumselves, for n time
to this supreme business. We ask,
also, the cooperation of all who are in
symiiathy with the end sought. Remem
lier that success will depend upon us
as well as God, and that we can count
on his present« and help.
There will be preadhlng by Rev.
MacCaughey, a very able and Inter
esting speaker, will known and much
liked in Grangeville, every evening,
with plenty of good singing, led by a
combined choir. Plan to attend from
the first and help to make these meet
ings a large success.
