sPRoUT AND WASTE LAND.
Timber Growing as Il Source of Prof
ituhIe announcements

Timber Growing as Il Source of Prof
stable Improvement.
4 forest tract of about 1000 acres
comprises Connecticut's modest begin
ming of what may become a great sys-
ten of state forestry. The land is
mainly in Sprout growth and costs less
than 81 Per acre. 1t is just such land
as can be had in any amount through
out the hilly parts of the northeastern
states, land not usually much valued
by the present owner because of the
long wait needed to secure another
timber crop, yet which sells in the
neighborhood of 500 per acre when
covered forty years later with a second
growth of chestnut or other marketa-
bic timber.
For the waste lands not in sprout
growth probably much could be done
without state ownership. The Connect
ticut state forester asserts that about
one-quarter Of the total area of the
state is 'nearly worthless land which il
gradually coming up TO gray birch,
pitch pine and Juniper" Farmers in
other states will recognize this descrip-
ton as applying to immense areas of
run out pasture land in New England.
This land will not again yield pastur-
age without heavy expense for re-
claiming it, and most is so thinly and
poorly seeded with trees that the first
timber growth viii be of no especial
value.
Help For an Infant Industry.
To start really valuable crop on
such land would vastly increase the
resources Of every eastern state, and
the Importance warrants state help.
Owners are freely offered state instruc-
ton and advice. For a time at least
new planted forest land should be ex-
empt from taxation.
In some localities young seeding
pines and other desirable forest varie-
ties are not easy to get, and planting
would no doubt be encouraged should
the state supply the trees to intending
planters. Forestry in America is one

Wheat ana Oats.

A liberal spring wheat crop is indi-
Gated by the figures S7.3 for condition
this season compared to 60 last year
at the same time. Estimates from diff
ferent authorities on the combined
winter and spring wheat crop range
around 7G0,0oo00O bushels, more rather
than less.
The condition Of oats, 90,3, against
S5.6 last year, promises a crop esti-
mated at least at 9000G0,000 bushels
The three foregoing crops as a whole
will therefore represent a remarkable
year in cereals.
