To Find Your Way Out Of The Forest

Lewiston Journal. It's a TRANCE
thing. but when a man gets lost in the
woods the first thing he usually Ices is
TO start out and run as fast as he can
In a sort OF a panic stricken way. This
Is the very worst thing he can do.
Nine times out OF ten he Will go
around in a circle and meet his own
tracks. He only exhausts his strength
TO no purpose.
l remember before / went in the
Maine woods | had an idea that there
were great bald spots and you could
find your way from open TO open as
easy as walking the streets OF a city.
But my guide soon disabused me Of
that Idea. file too me up on a high
hill and then told me to climb a big
tree. He went ahead and / followed
him. AS far rs our eyes could see
there was nothing but woods, woods,
woods. There We're tiny openings here
and there that looked like the mouths
of bushel baskets, but my guide told
me that they We're only small ponds.
These openings were sometimes five
as near as we could Judge. I made
up my mind that there would be wood
enough to last after ] was gone.
When you are lost in the woods, as l
hope you never viii be there is n

Persons uaskilled in planting are apt
to choose inappropriate trees. Fancy
leads them tc use odd kinds and to
FORM grotesque combinations which
fulfill zone of the purposes of planting.
ssesides, the use OF such trees is likely
90 be very costly on account of the high
prices charged for them and the labor
required TO make them grow. Fortu-
nately, the best trees for planting are
EASILY obtained, because they are usu-
ally those common in the locality.
1'ne nrst rule 10 lay down is TO plant
only the kinds that are known to be
hardy. A school ground plantation is
no place for experiment. Naturally
the trees viii have to enGure greater
nardships than those of a private
plantation, they win be likely to have
tess cultivation and he subject TO more
abuse. No matter how strict the rules,
the soil about them will be more or
less trampled and the twigs will m
times be broken from their tops. Any
tree that cannot endure moderate
abuse OF this kind should not be given
a place ON the school ground.
on cou of difference In the soil
a tree that thrives in one place In a
ocality may not thrive in another
place. Sandy soils are often found
near together, and the trees that grow
thriftily in sandy soil may have a hard
struggle 10 exist when planted in clay.
For this reason both the soil and the
subsoil of the school ground should be
carefully examined, and a list should
be made of trees in the neighborhood
that are thriving on soils OF the same
character, and no other species should
be used. Much better success may be
expected with n soil and subsoil of a
porous character than with one that
is tenacious and impenetrable. Yet a
careful study will show numerous
species adapted to ZACH kind of soil.
Elns, oaks and naples are to be had
almost anywhere and are easily trans
planted. They are as beautiful as any
trees 10 be found and are in every way
well adapted for the school ground
They grow on a variety of soils and can
be easily raised from seed il young
trees are not available. Every region
viii afford other valuable sorts, such as
beeches. chestnuts, walnuts, ashes,
pines, or spruces. From these and
such other desirable kinds as the local
ity affords the selections should be
made.
The school ground being permanent
and the need of trees continuous, for
the most part long-lived trees should
be used. But where the present need
of trees is great, there is another side
to the question. A short-lived tree
grows quickly, coming into early USE
fulness and serves its purpose for from
twenty-five to fifty years. A long
lived tree usually grows more slowly,
but serves its purpose for q century or
more. In many cases il is advisable
10 use the two kinds in such a way
that h long-lived trees will become
useful about the time the short-lived
trees az maturity. The latter can
then be removed, leaving the ground to
the long-lived trees. In all cases an
ultimate stand of such trees as elms,
oaks, walnuts or chestnuts should be
the aim.
1t may seem that the number of
kinds which can be used for school
groung planting is small, but this is
not the case. In almost all sections

for the five years was nearly 1856, 900, 600
During the last fifteen years the bal.
ance of trade in favor of his
all articles considered, exceeded $4,384,.
0O0,0 900, but taking farm products alone
these showed a balance in our favor OF
more than IS, 300, 600, 600.
Reviewing the increase in farm cap
ital, the secretary estimates it conserv-
atively at S 1900, 900, 900 within four
years-this without recognizing the
marked increase in the value OF the land
during the past two years. 4he most
startling figures shown as illustrating
the farmers prosperity are those pre-
scented by deposits in banks in typical
agricultural states. The secretary Sc
lects for this Illustration Iowa, Kan
sas and Mississippi. Taking all kinds
of banks national, state, private and
savings-the deposits increased from
June 30, 1896, to October 81, 1904. in
Iowa, 164 per cent. in Kansas, 2l9 per
cent, and in Mississippi, 301 per cent.
in the United States " per cent. a
similar favorable comparison nay be
made as to the number of depositnrs-
The secretary concludes that the
farmers rate of financial progress need
fear no comparison with that of any
other class of producers.
Under the head of new industries de-
veloped the secretary enumerates, first,
rice. OF which under the encouragement
of the department, there has been enor-
mousiy increased production in Texas
and Louisiana. Preliminary estimates
give the area devoted to rice in 1904 in
these two states at 600, 900 acres, md
the crop will approximate $780, 600, GOO
pounds. In reference to durum, or
macaroni wheat, the success attending
it's introduction continues u%nabated.
Probably no less than IA. 900, coo bushels
of such wheat will be grown this year.
The present situation as regards for
estry in the United States the secretary
regards as exceedingly hopeful. The
lumber industry seems to be awakening
to the fact that numbering with refer
ence to future as well al present profits
may be good business. The general
adoption of forestry as an established
| policy now depends primarily on BUSH
ness conditions. Extensive inyestig2-
lions of forest conditions are still ur-
| gently needed.

The ideality and intellectual StimuIous
of Great Poets.

Century: While not lacking in width
OF popular appeal. Keats has always
been the poets poet, aud always will be.
He stands In a peculiar way for the
poetic career. No poet OF the present
day but is his debtor. The generous
glow and freedom of his mind, the full
pulse Of his song, the single-minded-
ness OF his artistic purpose mark him
not so much as one who chose his art
as one who was chosen by II. Writing
from Winchester, August 20 1918, he
says:
II am convinced more and more, ev-
cry day, that fine writing is. next to
fine doing. the top thing in the world;
the Paradise Lost becomes a greater
wonder. The more | know what my
diligence ma in time probably effect,
the more does my heart distend with
pride n obstinacy. l feel 1t in my
power 10 become a popular writer. /

We often hear much nowadays Of the
decline OF poetry-often with a tone
OF lament. oftener with something like
contempt. Whitman's theory hat the
future OF America is 10 be a future
not OF great men but OF a greater
average, seems for the moment to be
true OF English fiction and verse. Bur

propitious for the larger Inspirations.
