Better Farms,

James j. Hill, in a speech delivered
before the National Corn Exposition at
Omaha. reiterated all that he has
said anent the crying need of more
farmers and said further that another
way to stave off impending disaster is
to bring about the use in place of the
abuse of agricultural lands. In other
words. he took the position that land
capable of producing 40 bushels of
wheat, which is so cultivated that it
produces but 20 busheis, is abused, not
used. There is great deal of merit in
his argument.

and all the implements of which he
makes use in cultivating that farm, is

to whether or not he gets the best use
of that farm. If he permits the land
to deteriorate, he is not true to his
trust. His farm cannot decline with

Eencina For Sheep.

Tho National Bureau of Plant IN
dustry tells of an experiment. Win
"coyote proof pasture" in which an
area four miles square was enclosed
nv q fence high and strong enough to
prevent the entrance of those maraud-
ers The area was then turned over
to pasture for sheep and at the close
of the season it was found that the
losses had been reduced to minimum.
Losses from all causes were but one
fourth of one per cent as against ~
times that amount in the herded
1ocks on the open range. The fence
paid.
The Boston Transcript. in comment
ing on the matter, points out that the
New England hillsides which ought to
be covered with sheep, are growing up
TO weeds and bushes because farmers
have tired of fighting dogs or collect
ing q pittance from the state for
slaughtered sheep. The Transcript is
correct in it's diagnosis of the case. 1t
has been the custom of chronic tariff
grumblers to blame the decline of our
sheep industry on the tariff. Then
they. and their representatives, lift up
their voices in a derisive shout every
time a farmer introduces an effective
dog law in the legislature. A lone
cur dog ranging the hills and pastures
of a Maine town can do more to affect
the sheep industry in week than the
tariff can do in ten years. The rem
edy suggested by the Transcript is an
expensive one. 1t would be cheaper.
perhaps, to kill the dogs that are per-
mtted to run at large. But it is a
certainty that once the fences We're
up, and the original investment in
wire, fence posts and labor, made, the
income from the sheep would pay Il
handsome return. Fencing such as is
described in the coyote experiment
would be entirely adequate.

Christmas Trees.

Is the cutting of spruce trees for
Christmas a menace to our tree sup
ply? That is the question that is oc-
cupying the attention of the forest
conservation people There is plenty
of cause for discussion of the subject.
New England contributes 100000
Christmas trees every year and of that
number, Maine furnishes 100000. On
the face of it it would appear that we
are cutting 100000 trees just when
they are beginning to be Of value. For
these Maine people receive about four
cents each, the few that are sold with
in the State of Maine being insgnifi-
cant and the price so low that the
wholesale price is raised but little in
computing the average. Thus it is
seen that Maine parts with 100000
trees and receives but $4,000 in re-
turn?
Are the trees worth more than that
to US? We receive but $4,000 for
them in cash, but 100000 people are
assured that they have bought a Maine
Christmas tree. That is worth some
thing. 1t is an advertisement for the
State. The retailer in New York does
not know whether Maine lies north, or
south of him. He only knows that it
produces the best trees in the country
and he knows that he can dispose of
his stock more quickly if he tells
prospective customers that the trees
come from Maine.
Many of the trees are cut in
pastures and woodlots where they
never would be permitted to grow to a
size where they would become very
valuable agents in conserving water
resources. Timber tracts which are to
be cut over for timber are not stripped
| of young trees. The return is not
large enough. No man is going to cut
| trees and haul them out to the rail-
road for four cents each when he can
| get many times that amount a few
years hence by permitting the trees to
grow.
1t is doubtless true that this cut
| ting, added to the many other drains
upon our forest resources constitutes a
serious menace, but we would be sorry
| to see the cutting of trees for Christ
mas festivities, curtailed until a more
strenuous effort is made to stop forest
fire and careless numbering waste. We
are doing more in these two matters
| than are most other states and per-
haps can affrd permit a more gen.
eral cutting of yong spruce than can
other states.
The margin between the price paid
the producer -four cents) and the
price paid by the consumer (from %
cents to so is too large There ought
to be some way for the producer to
get more and the consumer to pay
less. When that is brought to pass it
will be profitable to plant trees for the
Christmas trade.
