w. B. Dillon of New York, who has
been summer resident of Randolph at
the Moulton homestead the last two sea-
sons, is vice president OF the Great North
ern Paper company and is being widely
quoted as saying that of all the timber
cut in this country, less than per cent is
used in making wood pulp. The remain
der, or 90 per cent, goes chiefly to the
lum herman. The Great Northern Paper
company owns 1000 acres of timber
land and, according to Mr.. Dillon, "scien-
tific investigation has shown that if tim
Der is cut under the regulations and rules
advanced by the Forestry department at
Washington, 1000 acres will produce one
ton of paper day for-well, for eterni-
ty. Therefore, if we had $50, 900 acres of
timber land we would be enabled to meet
our present output of $50 tons of paper
day. So you can see we have large mar
gin beyond our actual requirements. We
need not cut single tree that is less than
II inches in diameter breast high, as the
Forestry department recommends.
merely cite these figures as one example
to disprove any charges that there has
been a wanton waste of forest resources"

Mr.. Vaughan also presented paper On
aCrops Suitable to Grow in Young Or
chards," and expressed himself as strong
ly in favor of growing crops between the
rows OF young trees. Many man, he
said, would plant an orchard If he could
use the land during the years he is wait
ing for the trees to bear. Trees need cul-
tiyating and while cultivating an orchard
YOU might just as we'll cultivate a crop
