Investment in Trees.

The planting and care of forest
trees has been carried on for several
years now by State Forester A. F.
Halves, of Connecticut, with interest
ing results. Mr.. Halves experience
Loiled down to a few lines indicates
that for sandy, cheap lands such as
were used fer most of the expert
ments the best trees are pines, white,
Scotch, Norway and pitch. 1t ap-
pears that in the long run white pine
is the best the trees being cheaper
and the growth through a term of
years being equal to any and the
lumber of good market value. The
Norway pine is also considered very
satisfactory, although the. trees cost
more at the outset. The Scotch pine
is very rapid grower and will do
well for planting in open spaces.
white pine requiring some shade of
bushes or brush to do its best at the
start. Two-year-old trees are most
satisfactory.
The young pines can be bought for
about SO per 1000, and at five or six
feet apart are set 1900 to the acre.
In fairly open land the cost of plant
ing was $40 per 1000, with higher
costs in rough or bushy ground. Ex-
animation of a number of old planta-
lions of white pine in the State indi-
Gates that with cheap lands and low
cost planting the pine would prove
profitable as a crop, paying at least
five per cent. compound interest at
present prices of lumber, with every
probability that prices will be higher
by the time paintings now made are
ready for market.
