NATIVE AND PLANTED TIMBER OF IOWA.
INTRODUCTION.
The increasing demand for agricultural land in Iowa has caused a
very rapid removal of woodlots and groves during the past five years,
which has greatly reduced the home supply of posts, fuel, and farm
repair material. The prices of posts, poles, and lumber imported
from other States have risen from one-third to one-half in three
or four years, and since the supply of white cedar and red cedar is
limited, the price of posts at least will continue to increase. This
high cost has led many residents of the State to take steps toward
managing their farm woodlots so as to obtain greater returns from
them by growing their own fence posts and repair material. This
tendency toward the practice of forestry largely brought about the
Bixby forestry bill, passed by the legislature in 1907, which provides
that lands occupied by woodlots and groves shall be given a taxable
value of $1 per acre, if certain conditions of the bill are complied with.
PURPOSE AND METHOD OF INVESTIGATION.
To aid in the movement toward practical forestry in Lowa, investi-
gations were made during 1905 by the Forest Service to determine
the extent, character, and value of the native farm wocdlots and
planted groves. In the studies of natural tree growth, the main
water courses were followed. Investigations were made of the rela-
tion of topography and soil to existing tree growth, and of the effect
of the previous conditon and treatment of the forest upon its present
extent, composition, reproduction, and enemies.
In the studies of the planted timber two routes were planned, cne
in the northern part of the State and one in the southern, in accord-
anee with the answers to letters and question blanks which had been
sent out. Much valuable information regarding the planted timber
of the State was obtained through these blanks.
Groves and windbreaks were examined to find out what species
had been planted and how these species had succeeded under widely
varied conditions of soil, moisture, and situation. The rate of
erowth of various species was also determined.

ADAPTABILITY OF THE STATE TO TREE GROWTH.
TOPOGRAPHY.
The surface of Iowa is in general an undulating plain, bounded on
the east by the Mississippi River and on the west by the Missouri
and Big Sioux rivers. The numerous tributeries of these large rivers
make up the drainage system of the State. As a rule it is only along
the valleys of these streams that the surface is broken to any extent.
The difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points is
so slight (less than 1,100 feet) that the drainage over large areas of
the State is imperfect, and this affects the value of the land for agri-
culture or forestry. There is only one main watershed, and that is
not well defined. It extends in an irregular line from Dickinson
County on the north to Wayne County on the south.
On account of the slightness of the differences in elevation and
other physical characteristics, there is no wide divergence in the
types of tree growth in the State, and hence the problems of tree
planting and woodlot management are simplified. There are two
forest types—one in the low, level, moist areas along streams, made
up largely of alluvial soils, and the other on higher, well-drained
slopes and uplands back from water courses, or in scattered areas
over the undulating prairies. These types merge into each other and
it is seldom possible to define their boundaries. In the bottom type
are such moisture-loving trees as cottonwood, willow, honey locust,
black ash, elm, and coffeetree, and in the upland type are the oaks,
hickory, ironwood, butternut, white ash, and hackberry. Through-
out the State the soil is adapted to the growth of forest trees.
SOIL.
Iowa soils may be divided into four classes—geest, which occurs
mainly in the northeastern portion of the State and constitutes less
than 1 per cent of the total area; alluvium, which is usually found in
stream valleys and forms less than 6 per cent of the total area; loess,
a wind-formed soil, which covers 66 per cent of the State; and till or
drift, which is the product of glacier movement, and covers the
remainder of the State. It was observed that upon the geest and
drift soils reproduction is more abundant and growth more vigorous
and that the trees attain a greater age than on either loess or
alluvium.
Whenever it is possible, trees, especially the slower growing ones,
should be planted on the sandier and coarser soils of the farm, and
these soils should be used for growing seedlings in preference to the
finer loess or heavier alluvial soils, especially as the finer soils are of
greater value for agricultural purposes.
[Cir. 154]
hie
CLIMATE.
The rainfall of the State ranges from 30 inches in the immediate
vicinity of the Missouri River to 32.5 inches along the Mississippi.
There is a gradual decrease in the average annual rainfall from south
to north and from east to west. The rains are usually the result of
the meeting of warm, moisture-laden winds from the Gulf of Mexico
and cooler air currents from the north and west. There are no places
in the State where the rainfall is insufficient for the perfect develop-
ment of hardy trees. Although droughts do occur in Iowa, they come
only at long intervals, generally in the midsummer months; yet it is
probable that a greater loss to the State has resulted from excessive
moisture during the agricultural growing season than from insufficient.
rainfall. These periods of excessive moisture favor the growth of
trees.
The mean annual temperature is about 47.5°. The transitions
between winter and summer are much more rapid than in States
nearer the Atlantic coast. This influences to a marked degree the
distribution and general growth of trees. Seedlings and often mature
trees are seriously injured or even killed by frosts in the fall before
the new wood has become thoroughly ripe. The average date of the
latest killing frost in the spring has been April 20, and that of the
earliest in autumn, October 9.
The prevailing summer winds, which are usually hot and dry, are
from the south, while those at other seasons are from the west. These
winds are almost constant and have a velocity of from 8 to 9 miles an
hour. The distribution of many tree species is determined largely
by these constant drying winds, which probably are responsible for
the treeless condition of the plains. Their injurious effect, which
can be seen on any exposed windbreak or orchard, may be minimized
by planting protective borders of low-growing, hardy trees on the
exposed sides. Planting of windbreaks and groves in the State
during the past fifty years has probably modified the severity of
winds, but to what extent is not known. These strong winds stimu-
late transpiration from the leaves of the trees during the growing
period, and increase the evaporation from the soil during the dormant
season. This latter causes damage by winter killing.
DRAINAGE.
The imperfect natural drainage of parts of the State has resulted in
scattered, swampy areas, some of which are of very large extent.
Since land is rapidly increasing in value these areas are gradually
being drained and utilized for farming purposes. On swampy areas
which are difficult to reclaim by drainage, arborvite, tamarack, willow,
and cottonwood can be grown successfully, and in addition to the
[Cir. 154]
8
posts, repair material, and fuel they will produce, they may be of great
value in the ultimate reclamation of the soil by taking up immense
quantities of water and depositing layers of organic material on the
surface.
NATIVE TIMBER.
DISTRIBUTION.
When white men came to Jowa it is estimated that a fifth of the
State was forested. The eastern portion of the State was pretty well
covered. The best growth was along the larger rivers, but it often
extended many miles away from the banks. Occasional small groves
were found on the prairies. Through the southern and western parts
and along the Des Moines River and its tributaries in the central part
there were scattered groves.
The principal tree species in the early forests were practically the
same as those found to-day, bitternut and pignut hickories, and black
walnut; white, bur, red, yellow, and swamp white oaks; soft, orsilver,
and hard, or sugar, maples; white and green ash; white, slippery or
red, and cork elms; hackberry, basswood, cottonwood, black willow,
sycamore, honey locust, and coffeetree, besides others of less im-
portance.
NATURAL EXTENSION.
Where natural extension of timber took place, it spread from the
main bodies along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers and followed the
tributaries of those rivers. That it did not extend farther up the
streams and outward across the prairies was due principally to prairie
fires, which annually and often semiannually swept over a large part
of the State. Natural extension was more uncertain and slower in the
western part of the State than in the eastern, because of less abundant
rainfall, greater exposure to hot, dry winds; and greater frequency of
prairie fires. In many cases forest growth extended farther up the
southern bank of streams than the northern, and covered larger areas
on that side. This was due probably to the fact that snow was not
reached by the sun as quickly on the southern bank, and so lasted
longer. The spring fires destroyed the trees on the dried-out northern
bank, but were checked by melting snow on the other side.
As settlement, which began in the timbered portions of the eastern
part of the State, extended westward across the prairies, many of the
causes of prairie fires were removed and immediately the forest growth
began to extend farther up the streams and back to the uplands.
CONDITION.
The original timber aieas consisted largely of scattered groups of
trees surrounded by brush and grass. In the eastern part of the State,
[Cir. 154] |
SS
ten eee
9
where conditions of growth were most favorable, there were tracts of
forests that compared well with the best virgin timber in the Ohio
Valley. The best specimens of oak, walnut, and sycamore were often
from 4 to 6 feet in diameter and from 80 to 100 feet high, but in the
settlement of the region these soon disappeared, and have never since
been equaled in the State.
Throughout the central and western portions of the State the
streams were fringed with thin belts of trees, but usually back of these
the growth was poor and scrubby, suitable only for the protection of
stock, for a poor grade of posts, and for fuel.
UTILIZATION.
In the more heavily timbered portions of the State the early settlers
utilized the best timber for the construction of buildings and fences.
The westward extension of railroads had much to do with the exhaus-
tion of the timber. Every accessible tree that would make a bridge
timber or sleeper was cut almost before the prairie sections of the
State were settled. Even before the railroads reached the valleys of
the Cedar and Iowa rivers mueh of the best red cedar and walnut
along these rivers had been cut and rafted to the Mississippi for the
down-river trade. Again in the early eighties a very thorough canvass
of the eastern and central parts of the State was made by furniture
manufacturers, and most of the best walnut was taken out. This
thorough removal of the virgin timber of the State soon necessitated
the importation of softwood lumber and cedar posts. These are now
increasing so rapidly in value that many consumers are being forced
to use cheap grades of pine, hemlock, and hardwoods. Portable saw-
mills are operating wherever timber is found, and the best of the second-
growth woods and planted timber is being utilized. Cottonwood and
silver maple have been found very valuable for construction purposes
where the wood is not exposed to the weather, and they sell for from
$22 to $28 per thousand board feet.
The high price of lumber and posts and the rising value of farming
land is causing the clearing of many hillsides and ridges in the eastern
part of the State. Many of these ridges are not fit for agricultural
purposes themselves and moreover are a menace, since rains and melt-
ing snows erode them and spread the soil and débris over the fertile
lands below. The removal of the forests has led also to floods and to
the disappearance of springs and small streams. More than this, it
has very considerably lowered the water table in the soil. In southern
Wisconsin the lowering of the water table has resulted in the death of
many large trees, which could not send out new roots and adapt
themselves to the changed moisture conditions of the soil. The dying
out of many old trees in eastern Iowa is probably due to this same
cause. :

MANAGEMENT OF NATIVE GROVES.
Iowa has a smaller proportion of nonagricultural land than any
other State, and this is being decreased each year by turning unpro-
ductive areas into orchards, pastures, and ranging ground. With
the development of the fat-stock and dairy industries there will be an
increasing demand for grazing lands, and this in turn will cause the
clearing of large tracts now held as “aoedlone
However, from 10 to 15 per cent of the State will remain in fimiber
and this portion should be so managed as to yield at least fair De
from the soil. Notwithstanding the excellent farming methods in the
State and the increasing desire of the settlers to improve those methods,
little attention has been paid to increasing the returns from the
woodlot.
Formerly the farm woodlots were used commonly for pasture; this
practice, when the annual fires killed the old mature trees, prevented
new growth from coming in. When posts, poles, or fuel are needed it
is seldom possible now to secure them from the woodlot which should
furnish them, and the farmer must purchase them from the local
lumberman at a constantly increasing price.
PROTECTION.—Shade and protection for stock is necessary, but it is
a detriment to the stock to pasture them exclusively in woodlots, for
erass growing under trees has but a small percentage of the food value
of that grown in the open, and much better results for both cattle and
trees can be obtained if from half an acre to an acre of ground for -
shelter is planted to silver maple or willow, setting the trees close.
When the planting is from 3 to 5 years old, cattle or horses may
be allowed free access to it from large pastures, and even if the silver
maple is gradually killed out the loss will not be as great as if the
whole woodlot were used.
If more pasture land is needed on the farm, half the woodland may
be cleared and turned into good grassland. If the remaining half is
protected from fire and stock and a few careful thinnings are made,
it will become a perpetual source of wood for posts, repair material,
and fuel.
FIRE.
Every spring and fall, when the damage from fire is greatest, the
eroves should be closely watched, especially if they are located near a
railroad. If old roads or paths run through the tract, they should be
* raked clear of brush and leaves at least twice a year. When kept
clean, they prove very effective in stopping surface fires.
Where there is constant danger from fire, strips two or three furrows
wide and a rod apart should be plowed around the grove, if possible.
If highways run along the sides of a grove and there is danger of fe

from cigar stubs or matches, the herbs and shrubs should be cut, and if
necessary the roadway burned over.
When trees are cut in the woodlot, all branches and smaller limbs
should be utilized as fully as possible for fuel. Those which can not be
utilized should be taken to an open space and burned or cut up and
spread over the ground to hasten their decay.
The tools best suited for fighting fires in woodlots are heavy rakes,
with which paths may be cleaned in front of advancing flames.
Shovels are very useful where the soil is ight and can be easily thrown
upon the fire. It will not be necessary to back fire except in rare cases,
and then it should be done by raking a path parallel to and some dis-
tance ahead of the fire, and starting small fires along this path to
destroy débris so that when the two fires meet they will die out for
lack of material.
INSECTS AND FUNGI.
Since farm woodlots are usually small in area and widely separated
by cultivated fields, roads, and streams, there is less danger of exten-
sive infestation by insects and fungi than where forests occur in solid
bodies of wide extent. If insects are unusually abundant and are
doing much damage to the trees, specimens should be sent to the
Bureau of Entomology of the United States Department of Agricul-
ture, which will identify them and give suggestions for combating
them. Where single trees seem to be dying out as a result of a rot
or of insects, they should be removed, and all portions of the tops
not suitable for fuel should be burned at once. In pruning, care
should be taken to cut the limbs close to the trunk in such a manner
_ that water can not find lodgment. - The entrance of the spores of
fungi may be largely prevented if wound surfaces on trees are painted
over with white lead.
MANAGEMENT.
REpPRODUCTION.—The following suggestions for the reproduction
and care of woodlots are given with the presupposition that stock
and fire are to be excluded. Should it be necessary to use a part
-of the tract for pasture, it may be divided into sections and each
section fenced off in succession, until reproduction in each can be
accomplished.
Natural reproduction by seeds and sprouts.—The woodlots through-
out the State are made up of hardwoods, most of which sprout readily
from the stump. A large part of the timber in these woodlots has
come from stump sprouts, which, under conditions of healthy growth,
make trees of a size suitable for posts and logs in a shorter time
than it took the original tree to grow. Because of the ease and cheap-
ness of this method of reproduction, it is likely to be used more exten-
sively than any other. Trees cut during the winter sprout better
than those cut at other seasons, but for reasons explained later,
(Cir. 154]
12
winter cutting is not always desirable. The stumps should be cut as
low as possible and left with a slanting surface, so that water will run
off readily. The lower the stumps, the less danger there will be of
the sprout being broken by wind and the quicker the new tree will
form independent roots of its own. The oaks, ashes, mulberry, bass-
wood, walnuts, and hickories may be very readily reproduced by
stump sprouts, and the trees so formed are straighter and of more
rapid growth, and the wood is as durable as that from trees which
have grown directly from seed. A woodlot constantly reproduced in
this way will gradually run out as the vigor of the original stumps
fail and must eventually be replaced by trees from seed naturally
sown or from planted seed or seedlings.
The exclusion of fire and stock will favor the natural seeding of
the woodlot from trees already standing on the ground. If the
ground is covered by heavy sod or herbaceous growth, natural seed-
ing can be greatly aided by stirring up the soil with plow or mattock
just before a crop of seed falls, so that the seeds may reach the mineral
soil. This method of reproduction is slow, however, and with the
small areas occupied by woodlots it is feasible to plant the open spaces
with seedlings of the desired species, and thus shorten the rotation of
the crop, and hence increase the returns.
Artificial reproduction by seeding and planting.—Usually Bets a
stand of walnut, butternut, or red oak is desired, the nuts or acorns
may be sation directly where the tree is to sound Spring plant-
ing of nuts and acorns is more advisable than fall planting, provided
the nuts are properly stored during the winter. If spaces to be
restocked are of large size the seeds may be planted 6 feet apart each
way in regular rows, or irregularly so that in the ultimate stand,
including large trees, the spacing is approximately 6 by 6 feet or a
little greater. The precaution should be taken to plant seeds of trees
which will endure more or !ess shade.
If it is desired to underplant the woodlot with conifers or some of
the quicker growing hardwoods, like honey locust or catalpa, seed-
lings from 1 to 4 years old should be used. Seedlings should be spaced
_ as suggested for seeding. Some of the best trees for underplanting,
besides those already mentioned, are white pine, white spruce, hem-
lock, sugar maple, hackberry, and hardy catalpa.
IMPROVEMENT THINNINGS.—If after the young seedlings in a wood-
lot are well started they are left entirely to themselves, the struggle
for light and space will be so great that many good specimens of the
most valuable species will be killed out and such worthless weed trees
as ironwood, blue beech, hawthorn, and prickly ash, through their
ability to reproduce and grow in shade, will thrive in their place. If
at that time a little judicious thinning is done, nature will be greatly
aided in her production of valuable material. Too often the best
[Cir. 154]
13
trees are selected and cut every time a piece of wood is wanted. If
mature, dying, or worthless species are removed with care so as not
to injure the young growth, the grove will constantly improve in com-
position as the place of the overmature, diseased, and worthless trees
is taken by the better young growth.
In an old woodlot which is badly run down, thinnings should begin
at once and be repeated often, but at no time should trees be removed
in such a way as to permit the formation of extensive areas of brush
and grass. If only large, overmature trees are present, they may be
cut in groups and the vacant area sown to acorns or nuts, or planted
with valuable species which can endure shade. In this way all the
large trees may be gradually removed and the area restocked with
valuable young forest growth.
Great care should be exercised in all thinnings, especially on hill-
sides and ridges, not to cut out so heavily as to expose the soil to ero-
sion. This washing away of valuable soil and the formation of gullies
is each year destroying large areas of land in Iowa. Two hundred
square miles is said to be so lost each year in the United States, and
_Iowa is doing more than her share toward increasing this figure.
HARVESTING THE CROP.—The best time to cut the trees to insure
sprout reproduction is in winter or early spring, and the wood of
sprouts which form in early sprmg has ample time to ripen before
winter. However, if the trees are cut between late July and Sep-
tember, during what lumbermen call ‘‘the second running of the |
sap,’ and then left to lie for several days, until the leaves are com-
pletely wilted, seasoning will take place rapidly and thoroughly after
the posts or poles are peeled. Peeling should be done at once, and
the logs should be piled so that no part touches the ground. Posts
so treated will greatly outlast those of the same species and size cut
in winter and stacked on end without peeling. Trunks should not
be left lying on the ground before utilization, as this invites attacks
of fungi and insects and hastens rot.
PLANTED TIMBER.
SPECIES.
When the people learned that the prairie soil was as valuable for
agricultural purposes as that of the hardwood regions, and the settle-
ment of the State began to extend westward from the timbered lands
along the Mississippi, there arose a need for the protection of the new
homes from the severity of hot and cold winds. Since the need was
immediate and seeds and seedlings of the softwoods were cheap,
easily obtained, and gave early results, the first plantings in the
State were of such species as silver maple, cottonwood, boxelder, and
willow. The silver maple has been more widely planted in Jowa than
any other tree because it makes good fuel, when seasoned under cover,
[Cir. 154]
14
and attains a greater age than the other softwoods mentioned. As a
section of the State becomes older and more wealthy, better homes
are built and are surrounded by slower-growing, longer-lived trees.
The planting of evergreens was begun at an early date, as the settlers
saw that, since they retained their leaves throughout the year, they
were much more effective for windbreaks than deciduous trees.
PURPOSE OF PLANTING.
Following the period of planting quick-growing trees on the prairies
for protection only came the time when anxiety as to future timber
supplies, aroused by the depletion of the virgin timber by railroads and
the exploitation of red cedar and walnut, led to the planting of better,
slower-growing hardwoods. The State ies of 1868, which granted a
rebate of taxes for a certain amount of planting, resulted from this
fear of a timber famine. Under this law a large amount of planting
was done, but frauds caused its repeal during the eighties. Altogether
the law worked for good, since it not only increased the amount of
planting done, but aroused interest in trees and increased the knowl-
edge of planting and of species best adapted for the State. In nearly
all cases the plantations which were made under this law were com-
posed of soft-wooded hardwoods, and to-day these species form a
very large proportion of the planted groves. Black locust, black
walnut, green ash, honey locust, and Kuropean larch were planted for
posts and lumber, and wherever even the slightest attention and care
was given, such groves, with the exception of the black locust, have
given good results. The black locust, a few years after planting, was
destroyed by the locust borer (Cyllene robinix). Many nurseries
came into existence between 1865 and 1880, and did much toward the
introduction of evergreens and more desirable hardwoods.
PROBABLE CAUSES OF SUCCESS OR FAILURE.
There were many failures during the early years of tree planting in
the State, and there are still many. These failures, however, have
been useful in supplying knowledge of the best species to plant and of
the best methods of establishing and caring for plantations.
The greatest cause of failure was the absence of proper care. Small
trees of silver maple, green ash, and black walnut were planted in
eroves as close as 3 by 6 feet or 4 by 4 feet. They were not cultivated
or thinned, and as they became larger many were deformed and
killed by crowding and lack of moisture. In many cases the groves
were used for stock yards or feed lots during winter, and browsing
and trampling prevented reproduction and otten exposed the roots
and damaged the bark of older trees so that they died. Trees respond
readily to cultivation and care. They will not succeed to the fullest
degree if sod is allowed to form about them or if the soil is packed
down around the roots by the constant trampling of cattle and horses.
{Cir. 154]
SS
15
The use of undesirable species was frequently the cause of failure.
Such trees as black locust, chestnut, beech, and others which were
widely used, were total failures because of insect attacks or lack of
hardiness. 3
PLANTING AND CARE OF WINDBREAKS.
SPECIES TO BE USED.—A greater variety of trees has been planted
in the State for windbreaks than for any other purpose, but the.
number which can be used successfully is limited. Certain species,
although not of the greatest usefulness for windbreak purposes
solely, have a high value for fuel, posts, and farm repair material.
These may be used to advantage both for windbreaks and the pro-
duction of wood supplies. The best of these ‘‘dual purpose”’ trees
are included in the following list: 5
Honey locust. Hardy catalpa.
European larch. Russian olive.
Silver maple. White willow.
Cottonwood. ues Osage orange (in central and
Green ash. southern Iowa).
The black or yellow locust would answer the two requirements
better than any of the trees mentioned but for its susceptibility to
the attacks of the locust borer, which riddles and kills it within a
few years.
Some of the pines and spruces are much more valuable than any of
the broadleafed trees for windbreak planting alone. They retain
their leaves throughout the year and thus provide protection during
the winter when it is most needed. The hardier evergreens may be
successfully grown under nearly all conditions of soil and moisture,
and their growth is often more rapid than that of the more permanent
hardwoods. Climatic and other conditions which influence tree.
growth are more severe in the western part of the State than in the
eastern counties, and it has been found that certain of the Pacific
coast and Rocky Mountain conifers do better there than those from
the East. The evergreens recommended for planting in different parts
of the State are given in the following list:

The red cedar is not recommended because it is a menace to fruit
orchards through the spreading of apple rust; one stage of the life of
this fungus is passed on the branches of the red cedar, when it is known
as the ‘‘cedar apple.” It is also slow in growth and there are other
evergreens which are more valuable. The arborvitze and tamarack
require permanently moist situations.
SEEDS OR SEEDLINGS.—Because of the difficulty and expense of
raising evergreens from seeds, it is usually advisable to purchase from —
nurserymen seedlings 2 or 3 years old which have been transplanted
once. These have well-developed root systems and will grow with
little difficulty. They should be put out in garden soil in rows from 10
to 30 inches apart and with the trees from 6 to 10 inches apart in the
row. After two or three years they can be transplanted to the per-
manent location. By this method better stock is obtained and the
total cost of the windbreak is reduced one-half or more. There is
practically no loss from transplanting.
For the broadleaf trees recommended for planting it will be
cheaper and fully as satisfactory to collect or buy the seeds and raise
the seedlings. A safe rule to follow in the planting of seeds such as
those of maple and elm is to plant them immediately after they ripen,
or before midsummer. Most other seeds should be planted the spring
following ripening, yet seeds of basswood and Russian olive germinate
better if planted in the fall.
In keeping seeds over winter, nature’s manner of storage should be
followed as nearly as possible. Where seeds remain on the tree until
late winter or early spring, as in the case of catalpa and honey locust,
they should be collected in late fall and hung up in a dry, cool place in
porous cloth sacks. Nuts and acorns which fall during the. autumn
and are buried among the leaves should be stratified through winter in
boxes of moist sand and planted as soon as the ground can be worked
in the spring.
In many instances seedlings of the silver maple, willow, cottonwood,
ereen ash, and honey locust can be pulled from the ground in bottom-
lands, or in groves, and set out very cheaply and with little danger of
loss. Cuttings of willow and cottonwood, which may be made from
new wood in late winter or spring and ‘‘heeled in” in a cellar until
planting time, give good results, especially in permanently moist
situations.
TIME FOR SETTING TREES.—It is advisable to plant windbreaks of
both conifers and hardwoods in the spring. The severity of the cold,
drying winds of winter, which injure growth that has not had time to
mature fully, makes fall planting on the plains west of the Mississippi
impracticable. Conifers may be successfully transplanted during any
season of the year if care is taken, but the spring, as soon as danger of
[Cir. 154]
1%
severe frost is past, is the best time, since the seedlings will by winter
be strong enough to resist the cold, drying winds. Broadleaf trees
should always be transplanted between late March and early June.
METHODS OF PLANTING.—In planting evergreens care must be taken
to prevent the drying out of the roots. When seedlings can not be
planted at once, they should be removed from the packing case and °
‘heeled in” in some shaded situation. If the packing case with the
seedlings is placed in a cool cellar and the roots well moistened they
will remain in good condition for several days, but if the tops become
wet they will heat, become moldy, and die. Small evergreens should
be carried to the planting site in baskets or pails containing a few
inches of water. The roots may be kept moist with wet moss or sacks
placed about them. The hole should be considerably larger than the
root system and the seedlings should be set a little deeper than they
stood in the nursery row. The soil must be packed firmly about the
roots.
Spacina.—The pines and spruces should be planted in rows from 12
to 16 feet apart, with the trees from 6 to 10 feet apart in the row. There
should not be less than four rows in a windbreak. When the trees are
from 8 to 12 years old the rows should be thinned, in order that all the
trees may have sufficient moisture and room for full development.
Corn may be grown between the rows for two or three years, which
will provide cultivation for the trees and at the same time yield a profit.
The hardwoods, such as silver maple, catalpa, honey locust, and ash,
should be planted from 6 by 6 feet to 10 by 10 feet apart each way.
Thinnings should be begun when the trees are small poles and
continued as long as there is danger of injury from overcrowding.
DISTANCE AND DIRECTION FROM DWELLINGS AND ORCHARDS.—Many
windbreaks have failed because they were placed too close to the home
buildings and orchards, so that snow is piled in around the buildings
and over the orchards. Windbreaks should be 5 or 6 rods from the
buildings they are to protect, and there should be a space of 2 or 3 rods
between the outer and inner rows of trees.
Orchards should not be completely surrounded by windbreaks,
since lack of air drainage seems to increase the danger from disease and
insects. The stillness of the air within such an inclosure makes it
possible that a warm day may start the buds of fruit trees enough so
that they will be killed by the frost which usually follows. The same
stillness of air may, on the other hand, cause a lower temperature on a
cold day or night, and create a ‘‘frost pocket,’ so that there may be
Julling frosts within an orchard too completely surrounded by winds
breaks, when they do not occur outside.

Fic. 1.—Diagram for proposed windbreak, for average soil and moisture conditions in central Iowa.
The outer rows should be 12 feet apart and the trees spaced 8 feet
apart in the rows. The trees in the inner rows should be planted 6 by
6 feet each way, and the catalpa should be removed when large enough
for fence posts.
Russian olive is suggested for the outside row because it is a hardy,
low-growing tree, which succeeds under a wide range of soil and mois-
ture conditions. It will protect the evergreen seedlings on the interior
and will produce a medium grade of fence posts. Russian mulberry
may be used in the same way in places where it 1s hardy. It is not
advisable to plant such quick-growing trees as silver maple or boxelder
vith the slower growing species, for they quickly overtop the more
valuable trees and retard their growth by shade, and if they are not
removed in time will be a detriment to the windbreak.
CARE OF YOUNG AND OLD TREES IN THE WINDBREAK.—A large pro-
portion of the failures of windbreaks is due to a lack of cultivation and
care during the first few years. The land upon which the planting is
to be done should be well prepared. Growing corn on it for a year or
two will put the soil in excellent condition. After the seedlings are
planted the ground should be cultivated as long as it is possible to pass
between the rows, usually from two to four years. Cultivation should
be discontinued by August 1 each year, for it is likely to stimulate new
growth which can not become mature before winter. Windbreaks
[Cir. 154]
19
require little or no pruning. The evergreens should be allowed to
retain their lower branches, since they increase the efficiency of the
break. When the lower branches begin to suffer from crowding,
enough trees should be removed to permit complete development of
the remaining ones.
A number of successful windbreak plantings in different parts of
the State are mentioned here to show that success has been attained in
parts of the State which vary widely in soil, moisture, and situation:
On the farm of F. F. Bakken, 5 miles west of Decorah, Winneshiek
County, is an excellent grove of white pine 25 years old. The soil is a
sandy loam, well suited to this pine. ‘The trees are from 30 to 34 feet
hign and from 4 to 12 inches in diameter.
On the farm of W. Herring, Lincoln Township, Dallas County, there
is a good windbreak of red cedar. The trees are 9 years old, and
from 12 to 16 feet high and from 1 to 3 inches in diameter. Although
the trees are making rapid growth on the rich black loam of this sec-
tion, they are badly infested with cedar apple fungus.
On rich prairie loam on the farm of W. A. Wilson, 5 miles northwest
of Ainsworth, in Washington County, there are several rows of white
pine which have made excellent growth. The trees are 35 years old,
and range from 60 to 70 feet in height and from 9 to 16 inches in
diameter.
The Amana colony, in Iowa County, has several large groves of
white pine and other pines which have proved very successful. The
soil of this region is usually a rich sandy loam.
Four miles east of Dougherty, Floyd County, on the farm of Henry
Schafer, there is a windbreak of Scotch pine 10 years old, which has
so far been very successful. Millet has been grown between the
rows to keep weeds down.
On the C. E. Whiting estate, 24 miles north of Whiting, Monona
County, is an excellent sample of a black walnut windbreak.
TREE PLANTING FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES.
The rich prairie soil of Iowa is so valuable for the production of
grain and stock that it will not pay to plant large areas for com-
mercial purposes. Forestry in the State will always be a matter of
farm groves or native woodlots. It is probable that in the future,
as frequently in the past, a large proportion of the grove plantings
will be for the combined purposes of protection and the production
of fuel, fence posts, repair material, and shade for stock. Hence,
species should be selected which will most nearly meet these com-
bined requirements.
Location.—Usually those portions of the farm unsuited for other
agricultural purposes have been utilized for tree growing, and this is
[Cir. 154]
20
right, for it is desirable to utilize completely or reclaim such waste
portions. The owner frequently can not afford to plant any other
part of the farm, for the better portions are necessary for its proper
management. Good returns may be obtained by reforesting these
rough Sande and caring for the plantations to keep out dense growths
of weeds, shrubs, and scraggly trees. Large ranches and farms,
however, can profitably devote several acres of good, rich land to
trees for posts and farm repair material. There is no reason why
large farms should not grow more than enough posts for their own
fencing. But even on the best soils, unless the trees are carefully
planted and protected, they will yield only a a small part of their
possible returns.
Sprecies.—Where a considerable area is to be devoted to the pro-
duction of posts, the best species to use are: Osage orange, which,
however, is hardy in the southern half of the State only, hardy
catalpa, European larch, honey locust, and green ash. Where very
quick results are desired, willow may be successfully grown, but even
the best quality of seasoned willow posts will not last more than
from three to five years. Other slower-growing species make excel-
lent posts, and it would be well to devote a small portion of the area
to black walnut, coffeetree, white ash, slippery elm, red oak, Russian
olive, and Russian mulberry.
On bottomlands subject to overflow, and which are consequently
not adapted to tillage, cottonwood and silver maple may be planted
in groves for lumber. Excellent returns in lumber and dimension
material have been obtained from plantations of these species. On
dry soils cottonwood groves do not succeed.
PLANTING.—Where Osage orange, hardy catalpa, Russian mul-
berry, or honey locust are planted on the heavy, rich loess soils of
the State for the production of posts, they should be spaced 4 by 6
or 6 by 6 feet, or if planted with a field crop like corn, they shouid be
planted 8 by 8 feet each way. Such spacing will cause the young
trees to make a rapid height growth, which is necessary for the pro-
duction of the greatest number of good fence posts. On light sandy
soil, the trees should be set at a greater distance apart, since there
is not sufficient moisture to permit close planting.
Seedlings of hardy catalpa, Osage orange, and honey incu have
been successiully planted with corn in this State. A field is planted
to corn in the usual way, and just as it is breaking through the ground
a seedling is set in every other hill of every other row, in place of the
corn. ‘Two-thirds of the crop of cern is obtained in this way and
the seedlings receive thorough cultivation and are protected by the
stalks during the first year. Corn may also be planted the second
year and a third of a crop obtained. In this way sufficient corn
[Cir. 154]
21
may be grown during these two years to pay for the rent of the land
and for the cultivation.
_ A very good example of this method of starting a catalpa grove is
the 10-acre grove of George S. Waller, 2 miles south of Pioneer, Hum-
boldt County. Twenty years ago Mr. Waller obtained hardy catalpa
seed from Tennessee and raised seedlings which, when they were
one year old, he put out with corn. The rows are about 8 feet apart
each way and the cultivation, while the corn remained on the ground,
gave the trees an exceptional start. Measurements show that the
growth has been above the average throughout the twenty years.
The trees are now from 25 to 32 feet high and from 4 to 10 inches in
diameter, and will average at least 3 good posts per tree. In 1903,
400 posts were cut out of the grove as a thinning, and a careful esti-
mate in 1905 showed that there remained on the 10 acres 6,146 trees.
With 3 posts to a tree, the plantation now contains 18,438 posts.
Besides this a large quantity of cordwood will be obtained when the
final cut is made. If these posts 4re worth 15 cents each, the grove
represents a value of $2,765.70. Add to this amount the returns
from the 400 posts cut in 1903, at 15 cents each, and there is a total
of $2,825.70, a good return from 10 acres in 20 years. During this
period the grove has served as a windbreak for the home and farm
buildings, and produced nearly all the fuel and repair material
needed on the farm.
The usual method of planting seedlings is to have two or five men
work together. When there are two, one digs the holes with a spade
or mattock and the second follows with the seedlings in a basket or
pail. As explained before, the roots must be covered with wet moss
or a sack and the trees should be set somewhat deeper than they
stood in the nursery row. Where five work in a gang, two men dig
the holes and three plant. On ordinary ground one man can plant
from 400 to 700 trees per day.
GROWTH AND PROBABLE RETURNS.—The probable rate of erowth
of any species and the returns under the most favorable conditions
for growth can be stated only indefinitely. The data obtained
during the investigation of the State’s timber represents growth
under unfavorable conditions. The groves studied had been, as a
rule, pastured constantly, had not been thinned, and fires had run
through most of them. Even under these conditions the returns
have fully repaid the owners for their financial outlay and the occu-
pation of the ground.
The hardy catalpa, which has been planted extensively through-
out lowa, grows rapidly and produces a good grade of peste repair
material, and fuel. Fence posts reach a Flemeter of 4 or 5 inches in
from six to nine years, according to the care and cultivation which
(Cir. 154]
22
is given. The most satisfactory results have been obtained with
this tree by cutting the 3-year-old seedlings back to the ground
during the winter. The stumps send up a number of straight, clean
shoots the following spring. All but one shoot should be removed
within a few weeks or as soon as the best shoot can be selected.
This principal shoot which is left will grow straight and clean to a
height of from 8 to 14 feet the first season. By this process posts
can be obtained as quickly as if the trees grew from seed without
cutting back, and of a better quality. By cutting on short rotations,
other crops of posts may be obtained from the stumps im a shorter
time than the first crop. The Russian mulberry, Russian olive, and
Osage orange may be treated in the same manner with satisfactory
results.
Posts from 3 to 5 inches in diameter may be grown from the
Osage orange in from seven to eleven years; from honey locust in
from eight to fourteen years; from Russian mulberry in from nine
to fifteen years; from European larch in from nine to sixteen years;
and from green ash in from seven to fourteen years.
Some forms of the white willow will produce fence posts of ordi-
nary size in from four to seven years. early all of the slower-
growing, more permanent species mentioned require from twelve
to thirty years to form posts from 3 to 5 inches in diameter. The
red oak and coffeetree are not planted as extensively as their value
warrants. Both are hardy, fairly rapid im growth, and excellent
for posts, repair material, and fuel; and each can be reproduced
readily from seeds or stump sprouts. The coffeetree prefers moist
situations, and the red oak well-drained slopes and uplands.
The appended table shows the returns which have been obtained
from various species under ordinary conditions of treatment. Typ-
ical groves in different parts of the State were selected as the basis
of the table.
