FORESTRY AS A BUSINESS.

Forestry on huger scale than has
ever been attempted before in this
country by a private corporation will
be practiced in southeast Texas when
the Kirby Lumber company puts into
use the working plan for its lands to
be prepared by the bureau of forestry.
. The numbering operations of the Kir-
BY company are probably the largest
I'm the world They extend over tract
of million and quarter acres of pine
lands. which contain about so per cent
of all the 1ongleaf pine Of Texas-a
vast single body of virgin forest reach
ing out over seven counties. and unin-
terrupted except for the clearings
around the villages and farms which it
incloses.
This great forest is estimated to have
contained, uncut, six and quarter bill
lion merchantable feet of lumber, board
measure The cuttings already made
amount to only a small percentage of
what the great forest originally con-
tanned
The company operates II mills, which
now make an annual cut of 250,00O, 900
feet, board measure. and supports
population of $4,000 people Since the
forest is mature and is helped rather
than harmed by the culling of the larg-
er trees. the annual cut is to be in
creased to o0.o0o.000 feet In addition
to the trees used for lumber, which are
cut down to as low a diameter as IL
inches. 100000 ties are being cut out
of the forest from trees between and
IL inches in diameter to fill a contract
with the Santa Fe railroad
1t is Just because its opera tons are
on such a huge scale that the Kirby
company has decided it must protect
itself by adopting some system of for

they are properly managed and protect
