AMERICAN LUMBER SUPPLY.
The Planting OF Forests Likely to He an
Important Industry.

The Planting of Forests Likely to He an
Important Industry.
Looking not very far into tho future,
1t seems that tho planting of American
forests will become productive indus
try. Preservation Of old forests, with
their masses of dry underbrush and fire
inviting collections of dry leaves. may
DO advisable for some reasons These
immense masses of firewood undoubted-
ly tend to collect snow, which, by its
gradual melting furnishes supply to
tho water reservoirs beneath tho surface
of tho ground. Snow thaws less quickly
under the shade of trees than in the
bright sunlight. Less water, therefore,
runs to supply floods and freshets than
when the snow Is made to pass away
gradually But this question does not
affect the solid timber interests.
In old forests, where there is strug-
glo for life among the trees by reason
of their growing SO thiokly together,
tho result is tho necessity of waiting
many years before the trees will reach
n size To make them desirable for tim
Der purposes. Where trees have room to
grow and are properly cared for most
kinds of American trees will furnish
useful timber III 20 or 80 years. and for
many other purposes they can be EN-
ployod even younger. 1t takes we'll on
to century for the struggling trees in
dense wood to have any marketable
value.
While good timber is becoming grad
ually scarcer ON account of our annual
forest fires, rising from tho conditions
already stated, the demand Is increasing,
and. what il more remarkable, Europe
IL already calling on America for sup
ply Of lumber. American oak especially
Is IN great demand in the old world.
while our black walnut is closely fol-
lowing in its wake. .Onr lighter woods
also-such rs tho tulip tree and poplar
Arc coming into great demand there
for packing boxes and cases where light
weight is great object. Those who are
interested in forestry in our country
should take up the matter of encourage
ment of forest planting 1t will soon be-
n greater question than forest preserya-
tion. -Meehan's Monthly.

Across their dreams.
