FORESTRY AT THE COLLEGE.

The classes in forestry at the State
College have been investigating the
different shade and ornamental trees
which within the past fifteen years
have grown to maturity on the state
experiment station farm, with a view
to determining which are best suited
to the conditions of soil and climate
found in the Pacific Northwest. The
standardization of the results of this
investigation are stated by President
Bryan as follows:
"We found that the Royal Oak,
planted fifteen years ago. added about
an inch to its diameter the first year,
and is now thirty feet in height. A
bushel of acorns have recently been
taken from this tree. The Flowering
Ash has proved to be one of the finest
of all the shade and ornamental trees
on the campus. Trees of this kind
planted fifteen years ago are now ten
or twelve inches in diameter. The
tree is noticeable by its beautiful. dark
green foliage, tapering pole. and
smooth, beautiful skin. The limbs are
strong and compact. and the tree is not
injured by the winds, this rendering il
adaptible in peculiar degree to a
prairie region.
"Our English Maple has all the vir-
tues of the eastern sugar maple, anG
is much better adapted to this climate
than the eastern variety. We fine
that trees of this variety are now eight
inches in diameter. while neighbor,
ing sugar maple of the same age is
but two inches thick. A curious fac
is that the corresponding European
variety does better than the American
variety, even though it be native here
This is also noticeable in the case o.
the larch or tamarack, and the noun
tain ash.

the burning was worse and the itching

cotton,s utlIitlea

The following is the report OF the
committee on cotton bags being sent
out by the Southern Wholesale Grow
ers Association, of which Mr.. j. A.
Van Hoose, of Birmingham, Ala, is
president:
I'VE, your Committee on cotton
bags recognizing the importance to
the southern merchants of a fair and
equitable price for cotton to our farm
ers, which affects all lines of trade
and professions of our people
and desiring that as much as possible
of the raw cotton grown in the South
be manufactured in our country to
maintain the price, and realizing that
a good cotton sack can be reused for
many purposes, recommend that the
Southern Wholesale Groeers give pre-
ference to goods packed in cotton
sacks and that we ask the manu-
faeturers, packers and dealers using
jute and burlap and other covering TO
use cotton whenever possible.
I'VE recommend that copy be sent
to each manufacturer listed with us
and that the various flour, grits and
rice mills, sugar and salt manufact-
urefs be sent a copy and that differ
ent Fertilizer Factories be also in
formed We recommend that the
National Wholesale Groeers Associa-
ton be asked to cooperate with us
to get the Wholesale Groeers in their
territory to further the use of cotton
bags and covering.
I'VE recommend that the news
papers be requested to give this
resolution as much publicity as possl-
ble."
Each and every one is urged to send
copy to every manufacturer inter-
ested whose goods you are purchasing.
Each is also asked to give this resolu-
ton as much publicity as possible
through every local paper published In
your town or county. Every farmer.
merchant and citizen in the cotton
producing States should be intensely
interested in doing everything within
power to further the object of the
above resolution.
Very respectfully,
j. A. Van Hose, President.

According to the Houston Post the
Farmers Union of Texas, through its
leaders, has indicated that it will CO.
operate with the governor to appre-
bend and convict night riders. The
Post expresses the opinion that the
Farmers Union means what 1t says,
and that the governor, the Texas rang
ers and the organization will camp
upon the trail of the outlaw until
he finds the state too hot to hold him.
Luster will be added to the name Of
the Lone Star state if the prediction
is fulfilled. AS an advertisement of
the quality Of Texas citizenship its
fulfllment would be of incalculable
value to a commonwealth which still
has need of a greater population than
can be secured without emigration
from other states. Say the Post:
every farmer in Texas has the right
to take his cotton TO the gins. Every
gin owner has right to operate his
plant Every producer has a right
to sell his cotton when he pleases, re-

Notable evidence. of the increasing
demand for Beaumont apple lands is
exhibited by the October report of the
Beaumont Land and Water company
showing total sales of $l8,43S, an in
crease over September of nearly $4,000.
This makes a grand total of over $780,
900 since the property was put on the
market thirteen months ago, and in
wolves the purchase by $50 investors OF
nearly 1000 town lots and a large per-
centage of six farm subdivisions. Sales
now pending should enable the land
company to pass the 100000 mark be-
fore November 15, and to meet the
growing demand for five and ten-aere
tracts a large force of men and teams

and subdividing of the Edgar Vineyard
tract, the company's seventh and last
subdivision.
Concurrent with the heavy transfers
of realty the prices of city property
and acreage are said to show a notice.
able advance, this being largely due to
an increase in population from 400 to
1850 and the erection cf 120 new resi-
dences and business structures. This
maintenance of progress and the con-
sequent advance in land values are re-
fected not only in numerous resales at
good profits, but also by the fact that
only one-half of 1 per cent of the buy
up their contracts, a record to be
proud of.
Added impetus to building is to be
given by the organization under aus
pices of the board of trade of build
ing and loan association, composed of
enough home investors to enable the
monthly loaning of $250O to $4,000 to
home builders. This move in advance
of the opening of the Beaumont bank,
which is scheduled for January /, will
be a boon to many property owners
who are anxious to make improvements.
