that 100000 acres Of forest are cut
annually to supply the railroads with
ties, and that 100000 are required
each year. At the average price of 35
cents each, the amount OF money put
into railroad ties yearly amounts to
$5,250,000. Railroad ties don't last
more than four or five years and have
to be renewed constantly. This Of
course is a great expense, and recent
ly some railroads have laid plans to
plant trees along their tracks in order
to have their own forests from which
to secure the needed ties. Several
southern railroads have adopted this
idea, and it promises to be a success.
One railroad company has thus plant.

in 20 years hence to have an excellent

acres upon acres could be reclaimed

This is question now beginning to
