(Alice Mai) Wilkinson of Shreveport, Chairman of the Executive Council of the Louisiana Forestry Association and Chairman of the Waterways Committee of the General Federation of Women's Clubs (page 19) and makes a fine tree for ornamental purposes. We have in Louisiana a good deal of willow and tupelo gum, which are quick growers and should be used to a great deal of profit in the manu- facture of barrel timber^ case goods, and veneer work, and are, as a rule, considered quick-growing timber; and they could be used to great advantage for planting along our denuded cypress swamps and along the battures of the Mississippi River. For this purpose, I feel that they would aid in preventing caving banks and would go a long way to assist in the protection of our levees during high water, and would help the i8 conservation of our timber by being planted behind the levees along the river. Another substance that grows in Louisiana forests, principally along our inland lakes and bayous, is the gray or Spanish moss, which grows on al- most all the trees that are raised in this state. This moss is generally picked when the trees are being cut down for the mills, and is allowed to rot, when it becomes black and makes valuable material for the making of mattresses, cushions, and pillows, and is shipped to all parts of the United Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original American Forestry Association.
