a supply.

The difficulty in obtaining fence
posts at reasonable prices has given
an impetus scarcely realized to for
est planting in the middle west.
Newspapers, farmers Institutes, wo-
mems clubs and boards of trade
throughout the region are pointing
out the need OF such material and
dwelling on the profit realized by the
few men who planted trees years ago
and whose plantations have been
successful The local supply of all
forest products is Insignificant, and
/ timber, If not grown at home, must
| be imported. With the continuous
retreat of the sources of supply under
the attack of the vigorous demand,
the length of the haul increases and
the cost of transportation rises high
er and higher Yet the fields and
pastures must be fenced. The posts
must be had.
| The annual production of fence
posts in the regular logging camps of
the country, as reported by the last
census, is S,715.6G1. How many
times greater than this is the annual
cut from the home woodlot no fig
ures exist to show; but by taking
the total number of farms and their
acreage and making a conservative
allowance for posts for the fences
inclosing each farm, 1t has been esti-
mated that upwards of 100000, 900
posts are set each year. Such figures
are too vast to mean ANYTHING. Even
the nine million posts of the census,
a mere drop in the bucket as COM
pared with the unreported produc-
ton. would, if set 10 feet apart.
girdle the earth. or would build a
solid pile So feet wide, 40 feet high
and mile long.
Durability and at least moderate
strength are the desirable qualities
for fence posts. The use of species
which are not durable Is expensive,
both on account of the more frequent
renewal which is necessary and be-
cause repairing is constanuy called
for. Timber of the required quail
ity is produced in the middle west
by hardy catalpa, black locust and
Usage orange.
Catalpa makes an excellent growth
on deep, porous, fertile soil but only
on such soil. Five or six inch posts
should be ready to cut in about ten
wears. In regions immune from the
locust borer black locust will yield
satisfactory returns from soil in
which catalpa would fail, and for
this reason it is adapted to wide
area where the rainfall is light
Under ordinary conditions. locust
should produce fence material in fif-
teen years.
Several other species. such as
white willow. European larch, Rus
sian mulberry and red cedar are also
being grown with good results. but
none of them is better fitted to sup
ply fence posts than those first
named
The forest service fully recognizes
the Importance of fence posts in
farm economy and the great demand
for suitable timber Studies of the
growth and durability of various
species have been made. and the linn
it's of the commercial planting range
of each has been morec loosely de-
fined. Rapid-growing species which
are not durable have been studied to
determine some form of preservative
treatment which will increase their
durability. Further work along this
line will undoubtedly add largely to
the list of species which can furnish
the desire product.

Farmers complain OF having many
grievances against the automobile anC
its users, but there is another side t
the story. There are some farmers
who have been guilty of conduct cal
culated to cause harsh feelings toward
the whole class of automobilists. Be
sides the timing traps manned by
country constables, the unjust arrest.
and the punctures caused by new nails
deliberately bent and strewn on the
road, the motorists have been an
noyed and imposed upon in many
ways by some bucolics. One interest
ing illustration of this comes in 6
story from lower California telling OF
how a thrifty farmer near Ventura
adds to his income. His place is or
the Mission road leading from Los
Angeles to Ell Canine Real, a highway
much in favor with tourists. There il
a ford in the Ventura river near the
farm house which is deeper this
spring than it was last year, and in
consequence the automobiles that at
tempt to ford it get stuck and have te
be hauled out by team of horses

tnesS. The cause for complaint is that
there is no natural reason for tina,
ford having a hole in it in which the
engines of the motor cars get drowned
out of action, while the ford yet re
mains safe for horses. The farmer
