EARLY KENTUCKY FORESTRY.
Interesting Facts About Timber Growing
Near Paducah.

An interesting example of the
profitableness of conservative
forest management in this coun-
try is furnished by DR.. S. B.
Caldwell, of Princeton, KY, who
has dealt in timberlands in the
southwestern part of the State
for fifty eight years. SIN 1917"
says DR.. Caldwell, 81 sold tim
Der from a track of land at 81 an
acre, the purchaser having the
privilege of removing what he
wanted and leaving what he did
not want. He took the choice
trees. but left a considerable
amount standing. In 1870 i
sold the timber from the same
tract and got for it SO a tree.
The purchaser removed an aver.
age of 3 trees per acre. In 1884
/ sold the timber from the same
tract for the third time, and got
for it as much as | had received
at the second sale."
DIR. Caldwell's experience in
the woods taught him long ago
the wisdom of conservative forest
management. Thirty years ago,
when he came into possession of
a tract of about 700 acres near
Paducah, he sold a quantity of
the timber for wagon stock. At
that time forestry in this coun-
try was virtually unknown. DIR.
Caldwell, however, was sufficient
ly foresighted to allow no trees
to be cut except those which he
selected. He went about in the
woods and picked out trees
whose tops aud general appear
ance showed they had passed
their period of greatest vigor,
and trees which interfered with
promising young growth. His
forest has been culled a number
Of times in the past thirty years,
but so wisely has the cutting
been done that today the land
will average from 10000, to 15,-
600 board feet per acre. This
was an experiment in forestry
which has amply justified itself,
and shows how a shrewd, far
sighted man may, even without
technical advice, secure good re-
turns from his woodland without
impairing its productive value
and while putting himself in
position to profit by the steady
rise which is taking place in tim
Der values.

MAGNIFICENT SHOWING

Many Thousands Of Dollars Added to
County's Wealth by These
Operations.

The official report of the coal
production of Hopkins County
for the year 1904 is given below.
These figures were obtained by
THE BEE from the Office Of the
State Inspector of Mines Mr.. G..
j. Norwood, and today are given
first publication in these columns.
The figures for the State are not
vet complete, though a prelimi-

Hopkins county continues pre-
eminently the leader of all Ken
lucky counties in the production
of these splendid black diamonds
that have steadily added to the
wealth of the county and State
for more than thirty years.
There is small decrease in
output for 1904 as compared
with the almost phenomenal pro.
duction of 1908, but the year
1904 is n166,2 tons greater in
coal production than was the
year 1902 which surpassed all
previous records by big margin.

UNITED STATES FUELS
Goals Turned to Gas and Used in Ex-

OTHER INTERESTING GOVERNMENT
TESTS.

The fact that the Goals and
other mineral fuels used in the
United States during 1904 cost
the consumers approximately ST.
SOC. 9 300 indicates the magni-
TUG and Importance of the
problems which t he United
States Geological Survey had un-
der investigation In connection
with its coal testing plant at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
1t will interest many people to
know that preliminary report
on the operations of that plant
has recently been published.
Among the results already
clearly indicated by these pre-
liminary tests the following may
be stated as worthy lof special
consideration: % The tests III
the steam boiler plant of 60 car
load samples of coal from IL
States indicate that the steam
producing capacity of American
Goals is high and that the quality
of many of these Goals may be
improved by washing. (2) The
producer gas, tests show the most
striking results, and they indi-
cate a revolution in the econo-
mical use of coal for the produc-.
tion of power. The results clear
ly demonstrate the following
points: (a) that most of the
American bituminous Goals and
lignites can be used successfully
in the manufacture Of producer
gas, and that this gas can be
utilized in an explosive gas en-
CINE; (b) that this method of
using fuel is much more econo-
mical than the present mode of
generating steam. (3) Some of
thellignites from partially de-
velopcd but extensive deposits
in North Dakota and Texas,
when tested in the gas producer
and gas engine, have shown un-
expectedly high power produc-
ing qualities, such as promise
large future developments in
those and other States. (4) Some
of the American GOALS and the
"slack" produced in mining these
Goals, can be briquetted on q
commercial basis.
