asking me what | thought Of the para
graphs on Willow Culture" ," and as thcr
are many Of your readers who want t.
know more about willow culture, | sen,
you my experience.
First, was rocked in 4 willow cradle
and ever since that time have workcC
among willow labout forty years. Now
sir, the writer Of the paragraph Of Apr
20, said yOu can sell willow in New Iorl
for $50 per ton That is about right
Next, he said this country imports from
France and Germany six million Gollar
worth yearly, and was on the increase
That is all right for anything know
And at the conclusion he said this coun.
try ought to supply the world with willow
at fifty dollars per ton, and make more
money by the operation than we make on
either wheat, corn or cotton. do not
know what is made on wheat, corn or
cotton; but | do know that you can not
grow willow and prepare it for market
for fifty dollars per ton, for it will cost you
sixty dollars per ton TO take of the bark.
under the present arrangement.
To grow willows iOrproht You must grow
them on good land; and land that will
grow good grass ifnot too high.) Many
people will tell you how meadow land that
il not good for anything else, will do for
willow. If you have meadow land and
want to plant willow on it, cover it with
four to six inches OF gravel and then you
may get crop; without the gravel they
will not do well on meadow land. Will
low, like any other crop must be taken
care of you want to make it profitable,
and you must get the right kind of plants
and plant them as follows: Rows eight
cen inches apart, and twelve inches apart
in the rows: keep them clean for the first
two or three years, and after that time
you will not haze much trouble with them.
Plant them as soon in the spring as you
can plow the land.
Now we rome to the harvesting of them.
They should be cut in March or April, if
you have a pit to put them in; ifnot, cut
them MS soon in the spring as the bark is
loose. About the first of May is the time
to takcof the bark; this must he done in
two or three weeks or you will lose them;
this is an important time Of the year to
willow growers. Sometimes you can sell
the crop as it stands (grcen;) if so, it is
worth from sixty to one hundred dollars
per acre. think crop of six tons (green)
a good crop, and worth one hundred dol.
