ton at Vallejo. Cal, will be COM
pleted IN January.
Francis b. Smith. constructing
engineer for the contractors, was In
Washington this week comforting
with officials of the navy department.
The new dock will be Of concrete
throughout, and Smith talks interest
ingly OF the difficulties which the con-
tractors have encountered. "ln tn,
foundation of the dock" he said,
I'VE used 1920 piles Of Oregon fir.
driven 40 feet under water into from
20 TO 40 feet of earth. Upon that
foundation We built a concrete dock
but only after repeated failures.
"The construction OF a dock of this
size and character is a prodigious un-
dertaking. The contractors which I
represent are the second ones to taxa
hold OF the matter, and already the
dock has been in process of construc-
tion for nine years"
Smith brings with him to Washing

Plant Trees.

The United States forest service
has a plan for the utilization OF the
WORKOUT farms OF the country
scheme TO make them a paying prop
osition The idea is simply to plant
trees.
An. Ohio farmer suggested the
scheme. He owns a homestead where
farming has been losing proposition.
He has therefore decided TO plant the
entire tract with trees. Norway
spruce has been selected as the tree,
and as soon as they are large enough
they will be sold for Christmas trees
and. by the way. Christmas trees
bring hrst-class prices.
One OF the fundamental principles
of forest economies. say the experts.
Is that soil which Is not good enough
to make the growing profitable,
should be devoted to the production
Of wood crops. OF cereal crops. This
does not mean that trees grow better
on poor soil than on fertile soil. But,
IN proportion 10 the money invested,
better returns are secured from trees
planted on the less valuable land.
The Ohio farmer mentioned above
expects to plant chestnut in the blank
spaces left after removal of the first
crop of Christmas trees. About the
time when the last spruce is cut. II Is
predicted that the chestnut will be
ready for the axe. In addition. catal-
pa. black locust, elm. boxelder and
sycamore will be planted. All of the
trees mentioned are excellent for the
purpose: growing well on less fertile
land. and furnishing comparatively
quick return on the money invested.
