In sixteen years $50 crossties or fence

idly does catalpa grow. Or their equiv
alent, telegraph poles or lumber, can be
taken off. and the catalpa Is tree that
renews itself from the roots and the
young shoots grow very rapidly because
they are nourished by ample roots The
present annual recruitment of the coun-
try in crossties alone Is 112,OoOOOO, ara
1t is safe to say that sixteen years from
now every crosstie will be worth nfty
cents Here. then, Is a crop worth $40
an acre that may be gathered every SIX
teen years. or something over S25 an
acre per year. This calls for five cross
ties from each tree. and any land That
would produce a fair crop of corn would
produce trees that could be turned into
crossties at that rate.
A Valuable Wood.

favorite wood of the Indians when they
built canoes. and there are stockade
forts standing, constructed from It, that
are a century old. AS fence posts catal-
pa Is very enduring. more so than any
other wood. Because the trees grow rap
idly it is assumed that they would quick
ly decay, but this is q mistake. for eX-
perience shows that they contain some
antiseptlc qualities which preserve the
fibre from decay beyond other woods.

THE CATALPA
A VALUABLE TREE

In about sixteen years the oaks and
the pines that now shade Alabama's hill
and valleys will have been swept away
by the mills and the tie hunters and
stave makers and various other pro-
ducers of the timber industry All of
our forsests are to go down even to the
gum and the lowest grade of the quercus
family. Nothing will be spared. A great
and growing country will demand all,
and all will be handed over year by year
to the insatiate timber hunter.
But arborculture provides a remedy. or
rather it puts a remedy within reach II
we are willing to avail ourselves OF II.
That remedy is found In the catalpa-
not the catalpa that springs up naturally
in many parts of the state, but the
catalina speciosa, a tree that grows
straight and large and very rapidly. In
sixteen years a field swept clear by the
timber seeker can be retimbered If 1t be
planted with catalpa.
How to Do This.
The International Society Of Arborcul-
ture explains in a pamphlet recently
published how this can be done. In
growing plants the seed shold be drilled

with rows 4 feet apart covered very

and transplanted the first year. There
are 10000 seeds to a pound
Thorough cultivation is essential. In the
autumn when the wood has ripened they
are taken up tied in punches of 100. and
heeled in for the winter. In spring, with
the ground well prepared. furrow out
deeply rows eight feet apart, and plant
trees eight feet in the rows. the Inter-
mediate spaces being cultivated In pota-
toes, corn, or some non-vining vegetable
Neither weeds nor grass should be per-
mitted to grow: a sod Of grass will quick
