their continuous supplies of fuel, that
mark the distinction between the
comfortable home and the one wherein
comfort is lacking. Owners estimate
the value of good groves, on an aver
age, at 81 900 an acre, on the basis
that their property, it placed upon the
market, would be increased to that
extent by the trees. Bankers and
land agent stake special note of thrifty
groves, for they have learned that
buy ers are ready to pay for the pro-
lection and comfort of grove. The
effectiveness of the grove as a wind
break is determined largely by the
number and kinds of tress planted
and their relative positions.
When planting for direct profit is
contemplated, inquiry becomes neces-
sary into (1) the market, (2) the cost
OF production, and (3) the species
planted. AS result of the absence
of natural supplies, posts, poles, and
ieul wood areshipped intethis region
from northern Minnesota at a freight
rate of 10 cents hundred weight, or
about $3.50 cord. This, with the
original selling price and the dealers
profit, brings the local selling price
up to from 81 to SILL a cord.
The value Of the land is usually the
largest item in the cost of producing
wood crop. Although the best soil
will produce timber most rapidly, yet
rough, sandy, or occasionally over
flowed situations can also usually be
utilized. In selecting tree for COM
mercial planting it's hardness in the
climate and situation is most import
ant. After that, rapidity of growth
and the quality of the wood, especial
ly its suitability to serve local de-
mands, are considered.
Cottonwood and white willow are
profitable on the deep, porous soils of
the river valleys. Seven cottonwood
groves yielded in lumber and fuel an
average annual net return per acre of
$1O.67, while eight groves of white
willow gave products of posts and fuel
equal to an average annual net return
OF 1924 per acre. European larch and
Scotch pine produce, respectively, an
annual net return per acre of $l1.93
and $l3.35 when planted on upland, =.
and would do even better in the river
valleys. White spruce, Norway spruce
and western yellow pine are also
adapted for planting for windbreak
purposes. In species for park, lawn,
and roadside planting, symmetry and
gracefulness are important considera-
tions.
Cuttings are usually used in estab-
fishing a plantation of willow or
cottonwood. The expense is little or
nothing. Seedlings of broadleaf trees
are easily procured. Unfortunately,
coniferous stock is expensive. Con-
sidering, however, their high protec-
tive value in the winter, and their
ability to resist drought, heat, cold
strom, and snow pressure, and the.
quality Of the wood produced, conifers
have proved more desirable for per
manent plantations than broadleafs.
The foregoing facts and other in
formation and directions about plant
ing are contained in publication en-
titled Forest Planting on the North.

How to Take Care or th. Skin.


 There really is no necessity for one letting blackheads appear on the face, enlarged pores or not. if the face is kept clean. That requires monthly steaming and massage and careful bathing every night. Rlackheads are nothing more than an animal life that has been engendered by dirt. If they once get hold on the skin, strenuous efforts must be made to remove them. Squeeze out the little seed with the finger tips after having given the face a massage with cold cream. which will make the task of removing the acne a simple one. Next bathe the sac with hydrozone to prevent any possible sore ness. If this fails to remove them, a more radical cure is to apply every night a lotion made of two ounces of brandy, one ounce of cologne and one half ounce of liquor of potassium. This usually has a most satisfactory result.
