Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the treeless Great Plains, trees and shrubs are essential to the making of a real home. The first step in forest planting should be to provide a windbreak or shelter belt to afford protection from severe winds and furnish shade and comfort to both man and beast. To be effective, the shelter must be dense, utilizing poplars and other fast-growing species, and with good care, the trees will develop rapidly. Then a woodlot should be started for the production of fence posts and fuel. Thorough preparation of the soil, spring planting, and thorough cultivation of the soil after planting are the essential requisites for success.

Book excerpt: The Great Depression of the 1930s set the stage for "the greatest afforestation program the world has known" when the Forest Service was given the task of planting shelterbelts from Texas to Canada in a zone a hundred miles wide. The venture, known as the Prairie States Forestry Project or the Shelterbelt Project, resulted in the planting of millions of trees between 1834 and 1942. Today, the millions of trees planted in the Depression stand as a monument to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who originated the idea of the project, and to friends of environmental concern everywhere. Not all the trees are living, and many of the belts have been removed in the interest of technological advances in Plains' agriculture or the farmer's decision to increase his planting acreage. Conservationists and spokesmen in government have become alarmed by the destruction of the belts. The time has come to re-evaluate the importance of trees to the environment of the prairies and plains of mid-America, for recent droughts again created a need to plant trees to combat erosion and to make the region more hospitable to the people who live there and who provide the world with its bread.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seed collection zones are subdivisions of land areas established to identify seed sources and to control the movement of seed and planting stock. Seed zones are needed for many species because of the genetic variation associated with their geographic distribution. Zone boundaries may be delineated from experimental data that identify genetic variation, or by analysis of the environmental factors that most likely acted as selective forces in creating such genotypic variation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bibliography of Great Plains Forestry In the past 5 years increasing emphasis has again been placed upon action and research programs of tree planting and associated problems of windbreak protection and land use in the agriculture of the Great Plains. Because of this renewed interest it is desirable to take a fresh look at the background of literature on the subject and carefully review previous accomplishments. In this way we can profit from past experience and prevent repetition of mistakes. A critical evaluation of past work can also aid in pointing out the important problems to be considered in current and future research programs. The background in Great Plains tree planting consists of nearly 100 years of experience. Many of the problems faced today were recognized near the turn of the century by a handful of men devoted to a pioneering job in this new and different phase of the field of forestry. Many foresters in the Great Plains region have voiced the need for a Bibliography; the Forestry Committee of the Great Plains Agricultural Council has been especially encouraging. Various members of this committee reviewed this manuscript. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
