 There are two noticeable features in connection with this Mexican program. the first being that the denuded land is to be at once retimbered. They do not propose to wait until the land is ruined by exposure and erosion, but will plant as soon as the ground can be made ready. By this method the land will be protected from scorching heat and washing rains and the ad- jacent streams will not be subject to floods at one season and drouths at another. What is of much future im- portanee is that there will in future be a continuous crop of timber coming on. If those who succeed the present agents of arboral cutters wni keep up the present plan, the crop of valua- ble timber will be perpetual.
 There is no good reason why crop of timber cannot be made as sure and tables. All that is necessary is to start right and keep at it. These lumbermen Iof Mexico are starting right and those who come after them should follow the axampie.
 But there is another feature of this case that is of equal. if not of greater
 
 lost sight of. That is the statement that the denuded, land Is to be planted with tires of the same species as those cut" This is regarded as of the high est importance. Nature knew what she was about when she was planting the forests. While it is true that trees | nf hA n be acclimatized and made to grow in a new location. it is Also true that cer- tain species flourish best in certain soils and under certain climatic con- ditions. This fact is recognized by these lumbermen in Mexico. and it will do much to ensure the success of their work.
 The statement about the, Norway poplar in Minnesota is also interesting and significant. We are not acquainted with this species of tree, but we know that any variety of poplar is in great demand and commands good price down here, and suppose the Norway | What is said of it's rapid growth shows a remarkable quiekness of development that is true of but few other species , of timber. whatever may be the kind of tree selected. however. the impor- tant, point is to plant the best varie- ty. plant them in the proper way. and at the proper time, and keep at it. AS the Wisconsin says. there is likely to be always demand for wood. Met al, concrete and other materials may , largely take it's place in building, but for many purposes there has been no ; substitute found, and those who make l provision for a future supply will be : making a good investment.
