Yellow Locust for Tie Timber.

Forest Leaves, the pretty journal of
the Pennsylvania Forest Association.
has in it's June issue an article on the
comparative value of catalpa and To-
Gust as timber for railroad ties. and
in this article there is q quotation
from the superintendent of one of the
largest railroads in the United States,
whose trains are of extraordinary
length and weight. He says: ST con-
slider the locust as the best wood that
can be furnished for cross-ties, and
that such ties would give almost
twice the length of service of the best
white oak ties, and they could there
fore reduce their track force nearly
one-half if they had locust ties on the
track" We call special attention to
this statement. The same man says
that on his road locust ties were put
on a curve in 1897 and are still in
good condition, while white oak ties
at the same place have rotted and had
to be removed. The locust Is one of
our most rapid growing trees. We
have locusts now less than six years
from the seed which are today stout
enough to make a good crosS-tie.
There are thousands of acres of land
all over the country that lies waste
which might be prof1tabiy planted IN
locust. Trees which we grew from
seed six years ago were planted in
the deep sand of the pine barrens OF
North Carolina and have there made
an extraordinary growth, and it is
evident that the long leaf pine forests
that are disappearing there could be
profitably replaced with locust. In
all the Appalachian region from Penn
sylvania southwark, the locust grows
naturally on all the mountain sides,
and by proper attention the mountain
country of Pennsylvania and southwark
could be made to produce all the tia
timber the great Eastern railroads
need, for as fast as 1t is cut the trees
will be reproduced from the stumps,
and if proper care is taken in thin
ming these the supply can be made

A high market price often tempts
people to try to grow certain crop
outside it's best habitat. The high
price of broom corn started many
Eastern farmers to growing it, but We
have not heard of any who have made
it a success or interferl much with
the Western growers. Now a CORE

Agriculture in the Rural Schools.

The interest that has been excited
of late in the teaching of elementary
agriculture is nowhere better shown
than by the great summer schools for
teachers in the rural schools that have
been inaugurated in the South. AT
the North Carolina College of Agri-
culture the summer school. started
last year with two or three hundred
in attendance. had this summer nearly
one thousand. And in nothing was
there greater enthusiasm than in the
study of those branches that apply to
the teaching of nature and its appli-
cation to elementary agriculture. The
teachers realize that by far the larger
part of the pupils in the country
schools will go no further, but will
return to the farms, and that it is of
the greatest importance to the future
welfare of the farming interests that
these should have some training in
the work that is to be their life work,
and should be imbued with some en-
thusiasm for farm life and some
ability to read the great book of nature
all around them. This enthusiasm
will be caught from the enthusiasm of
the teachers, and hence the summer
schools have a great work before
them. At the North Carolina College
TIE session lasted through the month
OF July, and was very appropriately
followed by the State Convention Of
Farmers which lasted three days.
over 400 of the leading farmers of the
State attended this convention. and we
