Rensselaer Republican, Volume 15, Number 52, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 September 1883 — Trees in Ireland. [ARTICLE]

Trees in Ireland.

In view of a proposal to extend the planting of trees in Ireland as a means of improving the condition of that country, a Parliamentary return moved for by Mr. Morum of the number of timber trees registered in the sister isle has been issued. It is furnished by the Clerk of of the several counties, and it shows the total number of trees registered to be 5,958,973. The best wooden count y would appear to be Oork, with 1,250,963, and the most sparsely-timbered country proper, and distinguished from cities in Louth, with T,738 registered trees. —London Meld.
