Farmers who are planting locust

Farmers who are planting locust
trees declare that there is no more
profitable way of utilizing cheap land.
They figure it this way: Two thous-
and four hundred trees can be planted
to an acre; in eight years these trees
will be large enough to cut for fence
posts and each tree will yield two
posts. At retail these posts will be
worth % cents each, or so cents tree.
That means at retail crop worth
81, 200, per acre at the end of eight
years. or an average of $3.50 an acre a
year.
