FOREST PLANTING BY SMALL FARMERS
RECOGNIZED ACR|CUL TURAL ADJUNCT

Forest Planting by small land own
ers is an important line of forest
work. and in many sections of the
United States is recognized adjunct
to successful agriculture. 1t had its
beginning long before forestry became
a subject for general economic con,
sideration, and the settlers of the
Middle West planted trees for years
before there was professional for
ester in this country or recognition of
the subject by the National Govern,
ment.
The farm windbreaks and shelter.
belts and the small planted groves
which furnish fuel, fence posts and
repair and construction material con.
stitute one of the less striking phases
of American forestry today. Consid-
cred. however, from the standpoint of
the greatest good to the greatest NUM-
Der. their value TO the vase host of
citizens who follow agricultural pur-
suits becomes apparent.
On Waste Land.
The planting of crest trees on waste
lands was begun in the east at very
early date. 1t is said that between
TAO and 1850 an experiment in plant.
ing trees for ship timber was made at
Pembroke, Mass. Tradition relates
that the plantation was complete
success. and that timber was cut from
IL about 1910. Another early plant
ion was made in Bristol county
Mass, in 1890, where farmer stocked
a field with young oaks by sowing It

ments in planting OF which there is
record was made in 1919 at Chelms-
ford, Mass, where Rev. j. l.. Russell
transplanted large number of pitch
pine seedlings from a field, which he
wished to cultivate, to a stretch of
barren drift sand. He was much
laughed at by his neighbors, but to
their astonishment the trees flourish.

in 1880, Ezra Sherman, of Preston,
planted about Is acres OF locusts az

highway for about 200 rods. In 1870
$50 trees were cut down and 1,50G
posts were obtained, netting s525. A
certain amount of planting on small
scale is now done by farmers in Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois for the purpose of
forming windbreaks and for fence
posts.
VIII Help Every Section.
Practically every section of the
country can be helped by more in
telligent and extensive forest plant
ing by small landowners. Throughout
the North Atlantic and Lake States
great general interest is being mani
tested in forestry. True forestry is
practiced whenever land is managed
with the intention that 1t shall yield
repeated crops OF timber, and is so
treated that the producing power is
maintained at high point. On near
~ every farm there Is some portion
which has small productive capacity,
and should be utilized for the growth
of forest rather than field crops. The
use of such land for forest planting
would furnish an added and growing
value to the farm. For all the tim.
Der planted now there will be an ex.
cellent market at maturity for mine
timber, railroad ties, lumber, etc.
Excellent railroad facilities exist to
furnish transportation of the products
to the mines or to the cities and
towns of the region .Cut-over lands
may be quickly and cheaply restocked
by planting, and in the same way
sand dunes can be held and new
lands made to grow valuable crop.
Another great field for forest planters
Is to protect the source OF city water
supplies
Many mistakes are made by forest
planters, chiefly in the selection of the
proper species and In regard to
methods of planting, and care. With
this fact in mind, the Forest Service
has taken up the study OF the prob.
lens of tree planting. A circular on
Suggestions for Forest Planting In
the Northeastern and and Lake
States is now being published and
will be available for distribution In a

MONEY CRAZY
IN VIRGINIA
FEVER SPREADS OVER EXPOSE.
TON.
PLUCkING THE STRANGERS
Show Has Opened Eyes Of People of
Norfolk to Opportunity Of Fairly
Coming Money-cloak consciences
Under the Plea Of Exposition
Prices"

Norfold, Va, May 6.-The people of
Norfolk are money crazy. The open
ing of the Jamestown exposition has
opened their eyes to the opportunity
of fairly coming money, and the fever
has spread from the business center
of the dirty old Virginia city to the
very outskirts of its residence dis
tricts.
There is excitement in the air. The
women of each neighborhood talk
feverishly about their room-renting
ventures, and all congratulate them
selves about the easy time they have
plucking the strangers within their
gates. They see easy money coming
their way, and the excitement of it
is not unlike that which spread over
this country at the time gold was dis
covered in California.
Norfolk people have been lured into
their money craze partially because
of the great contrast with their for
mer opportunities. Their home city
has enjoyed but such fair prosperity
as comes to sea coast town with
few industries. Rents have been rea-
sonably low. Nor. until now. has
there been unsual demand for living
space. But now Norfolk finds itself
in the position of entertaining as
many people as could not be comfort
ably cared for under ordinary condi-
lions by city of less than 100000
population. Its citizens are awake to
the fact that they have monopoly
on one of the chief necessities of life.
And they are making the most of
their opportunities. If they have any
consciences left they soothe them by
using that term, which is now much
in their mouths, exposition prices. :
Il have been at about all the re-
cent expositions,'' said one man who
has rooms to rent, "but | never saw
such grating before in all my ex-
perience. had some view of exposi-
ton prices at St Louis, Buffalo and
Portland, but this beats anything
saw there.
Driven Into obscurity.
So much has been said about south
ern hospitality that one hesitates to
smash a cherished bit of optimism
But the fact appears to be, either
that southern hospitality is largely a
beautiful myth, or else that the money
craze of Norfolk has pretty complete
ly driven it into obscurity
Inflated prices prevail along the
line. Foremost have been the rents.
Then the grocers have boosted the
prices. Labor has gone up. Even the
cooks have caught the money craze,
and sound the cry of exposition
prices" All such expenses are
passed along to the visitor, each per
J son adding liberal percentage as his
share of the exposition plumber. The
result is that the landlords demand
and get, Waldorf Astoria prices for
country tavern accommodations.
