Field for Forestry in
Southeastern States
The Practical Woodsman Is Needed In the Mountains OF
Tennessee and North Carolina

NUR southern Appalachians offer
an excellent field for practical
forestry. The need of systematic
and conservative forest management
is beginning TO be keenly felt, both
for the timber tract and the wood lot.
The present desultory form of lum-
bering, which dates from the settle
ment OF the region, has resulted In a
serious reduction of the existing sup
ply of timber. The unnecessary dam
age which has accompanied this lum-
boring, together with the repeated
fires and excessive grazing to which
the forest has been largely subjected,
has greatly retarded the production
of second crop. Although there is
still enough wood to fill the wants OF
the settlers, the cost OF obtaining IL
is constantly increasing with the
growing distance between the supply
and the market. Around the towns
and villages the belt of woodlands
from which all merchantable timber
has been culled widens every year,
while fire and grazing often prevent
young trees from springing up on the
cut-over area.
The mountain region OF western
North Carolina and eastern Tennes-
see comprises an area of $4,000 square
miles. 1t includes the Blue Ridge on
the east and the Smoky mountains on
the west, with the high and broken

ly, began the exodus of many northern
lumbermen TO the hardwood forests
of the VUginias, Georgia and Tennes-
see, and to the pineries and cypress
swamps In the far south. With their
arrival began numbering on a large
scale In the southern Appalachians, to-
gether with the investment of COM
mensurate capital In logging outfits,
the thorough repair and extension Of
logging roads, and the application of
those sldllful aud businesslike meth
DDS which constitute clean numbering.
The active and systematic manner in
which these men conducted lumber
job and the margin of profit which
they wrung from it were revelation
to the natives, but have not yet result
ed in any appreciable improvement in
their methods.
The degree of care which is justified
in the numbering of any forest depends
primarily upon the value of the timber
which 1t produces. The higher the
margin of profit on numbering the
larger the capital which is represent
ed by the immature trees and the
more important the financial con-
siderations involved in their pro-
lection. Stumpage values are not sur
ficiently good in the southern APP
palachians to warrant the application
of an elaborate system of forest man
agement, but they are high enough to
make a sound business measure of
practical forestry. The production of
repeated crops of merchantable tim
Der Is here advisable, not only on ac-
count of the price this timber COM
mands at present, but because it is
rapidly increasing In value for the lack
Of satisfactory substitutes, notably in
the case of the black walnut, cherry,
hickory, white oak and yellow poplar.
From the point of view of the state,
further considerations are involved In
the preservation of the forests of this
region. They constitute the drainage
basins Of several important rivers,
there Is no other great forest region
except the Adirondacks of northern
New York which is within easy reach
of so large a number of people, and it's
heahhfulness is sufficient TO have
tran sformed II in the last 20 years
from what was practically a wilder
ness to deservedly popular health re-
sort.
Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1901-10-17

more important hardwoods are the
yellow poplar. the oaks. hickories,
chestnut. birch, ash. cherry, bass
wood, black walnut and maple. The
merchantable softwoods, of which
there are comparatively few, are
chiefly shortleaf pine, white pine and
hemlock.
There are two distinct types Of
numbering In the southern Appala-
chians, similar in the extent of the
harm done TO the forest. but differing
widely in the manner In which they
are carried out.
The one is the snpshod. desultory
form which has been practiced by
the farmers of this region since Its
settlement in order to exc out the
generally scanty profits from their
farms. Although their output is
small individually. theiE combined eff
forts, extending over many years,
have resulted in the culling of the
best timber over large portion of
the more accessible forests. The scat
tered distribution OF the merchant
able trees, however, has rendered the
numbering comparatively light except
where flrewood has been cut as well
as saw logs.
The other dates from the time
when, some IS years ago. with the
falling supply of timber In Maine'
Michigan and the north woods general

plateau which lies between them.
Many spurs and ridges run off at
right angles from these two ranges
upon the plateau, and make of 1t the
Hottest and most rugged section east
of the Rocky mountains. The more
important of these cross chains are
the Black mountains, a spur Of the
Blue Ridge, which contain Mitchell
Peak, 6,711 feet high; the Balsam
mountains, with a mean elevation OF
over 5000 feet; and the Cowee noun
tains, one of the longest of the cross
ranges. Beginning on the east with
the spurs of the Blue Ridge, which
lose themselves in the Piedmont dis
trict, the elevation increases and the
character of the mountain region
grows more rugged westward to-
ward the Smokes, in which the APP
palachian system eliminates.
With the exception of the natural
meadows which occupy the submits
of some of the higher peaks, the
mountains are covered with forest
growth. The valleys are almost en-
tirely under cultivation. Upland
farming is carried on upon the foot
hills, and occasionally, for lack of
better ground, upon mountain slopes
so steep that their thorough cultiva-
ton Is impossible.
II has often been said that 1t Is In
this region that the forest trees Of
the north mingle with those of the
south, and the statement gives but
an incomplete idea of the great va
riety of trees which Is here the result
of wide local differences in soil and
climate. Western North Carolina and
eastern Tennessee contain over 100
kinds of native trees. OF these, some,
such as the black spruce and balsom,
which find In the Smokes at an eleva-
ton of 1000 feet and oyer conditions
similar to those of their northern
habitat, are either too rare or too diff
fcult of access to be often of com
mercial Importance. Others, such as
the black gum, sourwood, dogwood,
buckeye and aspen, are valueless for
timber, and are used for firewood
only when no better kinds are to be
had. Others again, among which are
striped maple, the haw, and the sill
verbell tree, have as yet no merchant
able value.
Among the commercial trees the

Sentenced to Imprisonment

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Dec. 15
In the district court yesterday
Santiago Iglesias and seven 9th.
er labor agitators were found
guilty under the Spanish law of
being the founders of the local
labor federation, which the
court holds is an illegal organi-
cation in that 1t conspired to
raise the price of labor, which
are still in force here. lglesias
was sentenced to three years,
four months, and eight days in
the penitentiary and each of the
seven other defendants to four
months and twenty one days in
Jail.
The court also ordered that
the local federation, which is
now under the auspices of the
American Federation of Labor.
be dissolved. and Gov. Hunt
was notified that the society no
longer exists. Judge Savage,
who is an American, dissented
from the decision holding the
federation illegal, but agreed
that Iglesias was guilty of con-
spring to raise the price of Ia
Dor. He, however, did not con-
cur in the sentences imposed.
An appeal will be taken to the
supreme court of Porto Rico, but
the plans of the federation have
been at least temporarily frus-
trated. AS result of the de-
cislon a labor mass meeting
which was to have been held
here has been called off.
The particular overt act of
conspiracy charged against Ig-
lesias was that last year when
the change was made from Span
ish'to American currency he de-
clared that wages must be paid
in dollars instead of pesos on the
same day the change was made.
Merchants and employers gener-
ally demand dollars from their
customers, and Iglesias there
fore claimed that he had not at
tempted to raise the price of Ia
Dor, but had only sought to
maintain the ratio between
American and Spanish money.

FOUL PLAY FEARED
Greenfield Man Left Home TO Buy a

ty, the man of whom Johnson IN
tended to buy the farm. 1t was

now fears he has fallen victim

with her eleven year-old son, is
