The subject of scientific forestry is
receiving considerable attention in
this state at present. Not only are
the state authorities conducting ex-
periments, but indiv iduals are becom-
ing interested. In Union the state
has small reservation, and several
individuals in that town are also
planning to conduct the business along
scientific lines. Ellis & Eaton of
this town are interested in the subject
and will devote some of their numer-
GUS acres to experiments. White pine
seedlings can be secured for So rs per
Thousand, and as it takes only about
1900 to the acre, the cost of starting |
is not large. White pine will thrive
and grow on soil that discourages
everything but the burdock and golden |
rod. Lumber at present prices, and
at the prices that are liable to prev all |
in the future, is a goodt hing to raise.
