The subject Of timber culture ID one
that cannot be urged too strongly up
on the cultivators Of the soil. The
General Assembly, by passing laws
exempting certain amount Of prop
erty from taxation, owned BY the per-
son planting and cultivating . certain
amount Of land with forest trees. and
the State Agricultural Society, BY Of
fering generous premium for the
best ten acres Of cultivated timber 10

II now remains for local socistiss and
individuals to discuss the question Of
tree culture; settle upon the best "a
rieties to plant, the best methods os
cultivation and then 60 to work, till
every farm In the State shall have It's
native or artificial timber lot. If
