Pine Stumps Yield Oils

A new proof of the fact that what

stances. is given in the success OF pine
tar plants that have been started up
near the head CT Lake Superior. That
the industry is no experiment and of

that the Weyerhaeuser syndicate, the

Il saw a fence in the Middle West
that consisted of a straight row of
beautiful catalpas, each of them
nearly twenty feet high. The row
was so Mechanically straight that
l wondered how the trees had grown
SO, especially as the row was nearly
half a mile long. So I rode over to
them and discovered that barb wire
was stretched from tree to tree, evi.

met the owner of the land, and he
explained to me how the trees had
come to grow in 60 perfect a line.
About ten years ago. he said,
I wanted to raise a barb wire fence
along the line Of my property, to pre-
vent my cattle from straying. I
went into the woods and we chopped
down lot of small catalpas, about
sapling size. We chopped the roots
off, leaving pointed end at the base,
and sawed the crowns off clean, thus
making stakes about eight feet long.
These we drove into the ground in
the row that you saw, and attached
our barb wire to them. Inside of six
months every stake had begun to
sprout, and since then the fence
stakes have grown into trees"
