WHAT CONSTITUTES
A GOOD WOODLOT

The important considerations are
these:
I. The woodlot should be well stock
ed. This constitutes the capital, the
increase in growth is the rate OF inter
est yielded on the investment.
2. The trees should be OF good quail
ity and good kinds. Diseased sorely
by trees are simply cumbererS of the
ground only healthy, vigorous ones Of
the valuable kinds such as oaks, chest
nuts, poplars, hickorics, etc, should be
provided for,
T. The growing stock should be of
all ages and well dist fbuted. As trees
reach maturity and are removed others
of succeeding ages down to the tiny
see dline should be coming on to re
new the forest. The larger trees
should be so distributed over the area
as to shade the ground and at the same
time give each sufficient room in which
to develop in the best form.
d. The soil should be porous, full Of
organic matter, and covered with a
good humus and leaf litter to act as Z
kind of mulch. Where the trees are
well distributed and fires are not al
lowed to burn, the humus and litter,
or cattle allowed to tramp the ground,
this desirable condition OF soil is nat
ural consequence.
s. The forest should be free oi dead
trees and branches lying on the ground
as these harbor insects and encourage
disease as well as furnish fuel for for
est fires.
While the ideal condition is seldom
realized, the farmer should constantly
have before him such a standard in
order to mould the oodlot into the best
form: that is possible.
COMMON DEFICIENCIES OF
WOODLOTS.

Recommendations BY Farmers Club


The following are the resolutions
adopted at the Farmers Club meeting
on the 18th, and omitted from our is
sue of last week for want OF space:
l. That the Cecil Farmers Club re-
commend the County Commissioners
to employ competent men vested with
authority to employ aborers and teams
and to oversee the repairing of roads in
the Spring and the making OF gravel
roads in certain designated sections;
these overseers to report the condition
of the road and the progress of the
work weekly to the Commissioner in
charge OF the district, who shall at all
times determine what work shall be
done.
2. We would suggest that the Com
mssiOnerS give notice that farmers
wishing to mend any section OF road
make application to the Commissioner
i'll charge of the district before the
March meeting, so that the Commits
sionerS may enter into an agreement
with them to mend said road in the
early Spring.
3. We recommend the enactment
OF a law b ythc next Legislature en-
powering the Commissioners to issue
long time bonds with low rate OF in
terest and easy payments, to raise
money for building gravel roads.
T. We favor law empowering the
Commissioners to buy gravel deposits,
by condemnation, ii necessary, for the
making and repairing OF the roads.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1907-03-02

OF productivcness. The inferior kinds
oi trees must be suppanted by those
OF the valuable kinds such as oaks,
chestnut, poplar, etc. This can often
be done by encouraging these species
where they exist, both in the matter OF
natural seeding, and in thinning out
other kinds where they interfere with
the best development OF those to be
favored. Where open places occur,
the planting of a few nuts, requiring
but a few hours time, will often &C
comp!sh great deal in improving
the composition OF the woods
One OF the serious mistakes tina, the
farmer makes is to use the woodlot
Tor cattle, hogs and sheep. \ continu-
Gus Use OF it Tor such purposes is disas-
trous. The hogs eat the nuts that are
needed for resecding the forest, the
cattle and sheep eat the young seed
lings that happen to come up, thus
preventing reproduction. The result
is that the woodlot consists only OF
older trees and as these are cut out
open places are left in the forest The
sun and wind get in to dry out the
soil, the litter is dried up and blown
away, leaving the ground, which is
trampcd BY the cattle, SO hard that
seeding is impossible. In this condi-
ton grass comes in and the appearance
is more like a park than a woodlot,
The trees are limby and do not make
the best timber and the woodlot with
out 4 young growth coming in is, like
the family without offspring, doomed
TO extinction.
