Distribution. Originally indig
enous chiefly in the mountain
GUS regions from Pennsylvania
to Georgia, and possibly in Ar
kansas and eastern Indian Ter
ritory. Now widely naturalized
through cultivation and other
agencies throughout the United
States east OF the Rocky Noun
tains. Of recent Years it is ap.
pearing in great abun ndance on
the abandoned hillside farms OF
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Ken,
lucky, and is also increasing in
the southern portion of the
plains region west of the Missis
sippi. 1t rarely forms exten.
sive pure growths except in
southern Pennsylvania, Ohio,
and Eastern Kentucky where il
is most abundant. Even in
these localities it is usually as
sociated with other decidious
trees, occurring in small scat
tered groves.
It has been more or less EN-
ployed as an ornamental tree
and considerably planted in the
western states as an economic
timber tree; it's tendency to
sprout from the root and it's fire.
quent failure through the at,
tack of borers has brought it in
to disrepute in many sections,
though these drawbacks are not
general and where present, can
to some extent be obviated by
proper methods of management.

triment near the surface, a habit
which seems to explain its ra-
pidity of growth and its
adaptibility' to soils underlaid
by very tenacious hard subsoil.
With favorable soil conditions
the Locust succeeds as we'll on
slopes and hillsides as on level
land.
Use and Value. The Locust
has found extensive use as fence
posts, ribs of vessels, nails,
in the manufacture of vehicles,
and has been used for railroad
ties and telegraph poles. Its
great durability in contact with
the soil, together withits tough
ness and elacticity, make it
very valuable for use in the
ground or where great strength
is required. On account of it's
tendency to produce a short
trunk and numerous branches it
is not well adapted to telegraph
poles and seldom produces one
of good length, but if planted
thickly and pruned while young,
it will produce straight poles Is
or 90 feet long.
1t is most commonly used for
posts, for which purpose it is
extensively grown. It's rapid
growth while young and its
ability to endure extremes of
heat and drought make it valu-
able for this purpose. A post
of 4 or 5 inches diameter will be
produced in good soil in Z or s
years, and when used in the
ground will last from 8 to Is
years. Unlike many timbers,
the young wood is almost as

Since the advent of the Hon. Jno.
Frost" has been reported from many
localities and speculation as to the
corn yield is about at an end there
has been some lively figuring indulg-
ed In which has resulted in establish
ing n belief among buyers of feeding
cattle that well finished beeves will,
n few months hence, realize such re-
turns that the feeding of high priced
corn will have been done Mt IL profit.
The upward tendency of the fat cat
tie market with choice fat native and
Western steers selling up to $50 and
mixed lots of steers and heifers up to
6 on the local market has helped to
encourage the idea. $50 to 100 III
,fccdershave advanced 15e to 2Je dur
ing the week. On the other hand,
the light tomedium weight stockers
and feeders have been neglected and
values on such offerings have declin-
ed as much as the heavy weights
have advanced. The Judgment of
the heavy feeder buyer is not to be
criticised but, at prevailing prices,
OF light cattle, the writer's opinion is
that the man who has sufficient
rOughage to carry n bunch OF light
cattle through the winter and does
not back in and get Il few loads will
wish he had done so'a year hence.
Corn-fed .cattle and heavy grass
beeves We're short of the demand
during the past week and generally
higher, as We're dry lot cows and
heiiers, but light weight and medium
fleshed grass steers were overlooked
and grass cows, while opening
strong enough, struck competition
in medium weight steers and values
settled slightly. The demand for
both fed and grass cows, however,
continues strong and active.
There We're about 5000 cattle and
100 calves received in the southern
division during the week against
1900 cattle and 2000 calves for the
previous week. Cows showed some
fair qualities which sold up to 800
but the most of the sales were made
at range of 2.15 to 2.S5 Fluctua-
tions were very slight in both COW
and steer values, the latter having
sold largely at 2.70 to $40. Trading
was done on an active basis and
larger offerings would have been
well received.
The interest in the American Royal
cattle show and sale which is to take
place October 21st to Goth continues
and as the annual horse show will
take place during the evenings OF the
same week n large number of visitors
is expected. Elaborate plans for
their entertainment are under way

account of the large proportion

The Locust is Of the greatest
value south of the 37th standard
parallel. In this re gion its
growth is most rapid and it is
seldom attacked by borers.
Hence it has become a very
popular tree in Oklahoma and
Indian Territory. In these ter
ritories it can be grown for posts
with profit exceeding that to
be obtained from agricultural
crops. Many farmers and ranch
men are maintaining plantations
to supply the posts and poles
required in keeping up fences
and sheds. The money saved in
this way in some cases amounts
to many dollars annually.
Propagation. The Locust is
propagated easily from root cut
tings and from seed. which is
the most common method. The
seed retains it's vitality for a
number of years if kept in the
pods or buried deep in the
ground, in the latter case hav-
ing been known to grow after
Z years; but seed out of the pod
will not germinate well after
two years. The pods ripen
about July or August and can
be sown Immediately, when they
will generally come up and
make a considera BILE start the
same season; if kept for spring
planting it is advisable to keep
the seed in moist sand in a cool
place during the winter. Old

Growth-The growth of this
tree is very rapid, especially in
in rich, loose soil. 1t is not,
however, a long-lived tree, rare
ly growing much after 80 yea RS
of age, and attaining it's maxi
mum timber value in 80 or &C
years. During its early growth
it makes an average of 3 to 4
feet in height, and nearly ! an
inch in diameter. For the first
20 or 30 years the average ac-
cretion is much greater than at
any other time. Once estab,
lished, coppice growth is easily
maintained, as it sprouts vigor
ously from the stump. 1t usually
attains a height of 10 to so feet,
with a diameter of l to 3 feet.
Soil.-The largest and most
quickly matured specimens are
generally found in deep, clay
soil, in valleys and on bottom
lands. 1t grows successfully
on any of the poor sandy or
gravelly soils, and is said to
produce more dura BILE timber
here than on richer ones. In
hard clay or wet soils, the Lo-
Gust is short lived and of slow
growth. The root system is
shallow and reaches out to great
distances, and the soils must be
loose and penetrable. enabling

Guilty from the tendency to
sprout. Sprouts do not grow
where the ground is shaded.
Every effort should be used to
keep the trees in thrifty growth
for the first u or 10 years. Bor-
ers seldom injure the trees that
are growing rapidly but contine
their attacks to those of less
vigor. Before the trees cease
rapid growth they should be
cut for use. Sprouts from the
stumps will at once renew the
growth. BY this method of
cutting, Il crop of posts can be
produced every 10 or II years.
The best success usually re-
suits when the locust is grown
mixed with some other heavy
foliaged tree, as its own shade
is not dense enough to keep out
grass and weeds. AS accompa
nying or nurse trees the Russian
Mulberry, Hardy Catalpa and
White Elm do well, as they
cast heavy shade and do not
grow rapidly enough to overtop
the locust. The nurse tree need
not occupy one third of the
spaces.
