Excerpt from Forest and Water

These and other cognate subjects on which I have extensive notes are more fully discussed in this volume under appropriate heads.

Tree planting in Southern California has been more general than in any district with which I am acquainted. The entire aspect of the country has been changed. The objects of the forest tree planting were for roads, wind breaks and fuel. At present the large eucalyptus groves have become valuable for piling. The leaves of the Eucalyptus are also used by several local establishments for the medicinal oil and for eucalyptol. These trees and the Acacias grow with wonderful rapidity and insure a fair fuel crop at seven years and a good one at ten years.
