Excerpt from Forest Planting in Westen Kansas The investigations upon which this report is based were made for the purpose of determining the kinds of forest trees best adapted to western Kansas and the methods of treatment which have proved most successful. Since there is little likelihood that more than small local areas of the region can ever be irrigated, only the species which can be grown without irrigation are described. With an artificial sup ply of water better results can be obtained with these species, and others that could not be grown without it can be introduced. Whatever may be the reasons for the absence of natural forests on the Great Plains, a close study of established plantations proves that, with an intelligent selection Of species and proper care, planted trees can, to a considerable extent, be made to supply the deficiency.
