Profit From Waste Acres

The national bureau of forestry
is trying hard to convert the
American farmer to the wisdom of
tree planting for profit, as a part
of sound farm management. Many
have adopted the idea particularly
in the eastern states but the
practice cannot be called general.
A recent bureau bulletin gives
a summary of returns received
from plantations of this character
on waste lands in Illinois. Catalpa
and larch, grown for posts are
both found to be profitable f; the
average annual return from the
former appearing as $5.l8 per
acre, and of the latter as $4.38.
These profits will increase rather
than diminish for the post market

1MREU SUPPLY OF UNITED STATES
Three Times the Timber Used
Each Year as Timber Grows

Every person in the United
States is using over six times
as much wood as he would
use if he were in Europe. The
country as a whole consumes
every year between three and four
times more wood than all the
forests of the United States grow
in the meantime. The average
acre of forest lays up a store of
only ten cubic feet annually,
whereas it ought to be laying up
at least 80 cubic feet in order to
furnish the products taken out of
it. Since 1880 more than
700, 900, 900, 900 feet of timber have
been cut for lumber alone,
including $4,000, O00,O 900 feet of
coniferous timber in excess OF the
total coniferous stumpage estimate
of the census in 1880.
These are some of the remark
able statements made in Circular
81 of the Forest Service, which
deals with the timber supply OF
the United States and reviews the
stumpage estimates made by all
the important authorities. A study
of the circular must lead directly
to the conclusion that the rate at
which forest products in the
United States have been and are
being consumed is far too lavish,
and that only n result can follow
unless steps are promptly taken
to prevent waste in use and
increase in growth of every acre
of forest in the United States.
This result is a timber famine.
This country is today in the
same position in regard to forest
resources as was Germany $50
years ago. During this period of
$50 years such German states as
Saxony and Prussia, particularly
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1907-05-23

the latter, have applied a policy of
government control and regulation
which has immensely increased
the productivity of their forests.
The same policy will achieve even
better results in the United States,
because we had the advantage of
all the lessons which Europe has
learned and paid for in the course
of a century Of theory and practice.
Lest it might be assured that
the rapid and gaining depletion of
American forest resources in
sufficiently accounted for by the
increase of population, it is pointed
out in the circular that the increase
in population since 1880 is barely
more than half the increase in
lumber cut in the same period.
Two areas supplying timber have
already reached and passed their
maximum production-the north
ern states in 1870 and the lake
states in 1890. Today the south
ern states, that cut yellow pine
amounting to one third the total
annual lumber cut of the country,
are undoubtedly near their maxi
mum. The Pacific states will soon
take their ascendency. The state
of Washington within a few years
has come to the front and now
ranks first of all individual states
in volume of cut.
At present but one-fifth of the
total forest area of the United
States is embraced in national
forest. The remaining four-hfths
have already passed Or are more
likely to pass into private hands.
The average age of trees felled
for lumber this year is not less
than $50 years. In other words,
if he is to secure a second crop of
trees of the same size, the lumber
man or private owner must wait,
say, at least one hundred years for
the second crop to grow. AS a
rule, such longtime investments as
this waiting would involve, do not
commend themselves to business
men who are accustomed to quick
returns. But the states and the
nation can look much farther ahead.
The larger then the area of the
national and state control over
woodlands, the greater is the
likelihood that the forests of the
country will be kept permanently
productive.
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1907-05-23

gets ever farther from having its
demands met.
South Dakota farmers will do
we'll to observe this opportunity.
The planting OF the quick growing
but comparatively vaiueless cot
tonwood may be expected soon
to give way to the serious culture
of those trees which have COM
mercial worth.

PARK CONTRACT GREAT GAME
Engenders III FeeIing---Kerstan Says
He Didn't Get Square Deal

That the contract for the park
improvements which are now in
progress on the plot Of ground
owned by the county on the cor
ner of Fifth street and Kelley
avenue, was illegally let, bids for
the contemplated improvements
not having first been advertised,
is the contention of Peter J. Ker-
stem, florist and landscape gard
ener. Mr.. Kersten states that he
approached several of the COM
missioners when he first heard
of the contemplated improve
ments and said to them that he
wished to be given a chance at
bidding for the contract. This
he says, was assured him. Three
days subsequent, he states, the
contract for the new park was
let to T. M. Dolan, a landscape
artist of Minneapolis. He now
claims that the contract was let
illegally by reason of it's not hav-
ing been first advertised, as the
statute states that all contem-
plated improvements or work to
be let by the county, which i'm
provements or work will exceed
i$100 to execute, shall be first
published for bids.
Mr.. Gust Furstenau, one of
the county commissioners, stat
ed that Kersten came to him and
applied for the job of setting out
the trees in the new park, but
|said nothing about wishing FOR
the whole contract, and that he
was not considered when the
contract was let, as the under
standing was that he did not
wish for the whole contract.
NoW5.K Kersten says that he
wanted the whole thing, and
maintains that he can now do
the job for at least 5000 less

And Some Brilliant Timber
Developed
BIG LEAGUES MAY NOW CHOOSE
Base Ball as Played Between Fats
and Leans Sunday

dIl0 ltdllS ouil0dy
In a game absolutely replete
with brilliant errors, said errors
being the main and only feature
of the game, a team know as the
Fats" downed their opponents,
the Leans" by the score of Il
to 8, last Sunday afternoon at
the Chautauqua ball park. The
game was called during the pro-
gress Of the sixth inning by rea-
son of the ball being lost among
the weeds outside the park fence.
The Leans think, and probably
always will maintain, that were
the game allowed to run it's full
length the final score would have
been in their favor, and they had
the Fats ''going SOUTH and badly
winded. s~.,.
Ed Routier, the Fats pitcher,
was up in the air and had lost his.
cunning, so Kneeshaw was sub
stituted. When the time was
called on the game that gentle
man, too, showed signs of weak
ness and was not delivering the
ball with his usual lightning ra-
pidity.
Albert Bell, the rotund drug
gist, played a star game at Sec
ond for the fats. He was there
at every stage Of the game, and
his agility in base running was
freely and favorably commented
upon. s
Laundryman Johnson was the
left fielder for the Fats. He play
ed his position in first-class pro-
.fessiona STYLE, and proved Il
sttoWersof Strength for his team
by his deft welding of the wag-
on tongue. :: >
,sss Town-lots Jones was the first
baseman.. Jonsey proved a verit-
able dark horse, and the Leans
i say thatiff they had known Of his
base: ball prowess before the
game they would have disquali-
fed him, from participating ON
! the grounds Of being an ex-pro-
I fessional. 1, F.s*. 5sss !, - !

! game Harry Kneeshaw filled the
catcher's shoes. Nothing in the
way Of passed balls escaped his
capacious NIT, but some of the
fair sex in the audience were
heard to remark that it made
them shudder to see how Harry
i would look behind prison bars,

,,.pearance.i Later, as noted be-
