INVESTMENT IN TREES.
Experience of an Expert In CultivatA
ing Forests.

Experience of an Expert In CuItivat-
ing Forests.
The planting and care Of forest trees
have been carried on for several years
now by State Forester A. f. Halves of
Connecticut, with interesting results.
Mr.. Halves experience. boiled down to
a few lines, indicates that for sandy,
cheap lands, such as were used for
most of the experiments, the best trees
are pines-white Scotch, Norway and
pitch. 1t appears 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 Wy 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
pines requiring some shade Of bushes
or brush to do it's best at the start.
Two-year-old trees are most satiSfac-
tory
The young pines can be bought for
about So per thousand and at five or
six feet apart are set 1900 to the acre.
In fairly open land the cost Of plant
ing was $170 per thousand, with high
err costs in rough or bushy ground. Elk

tons of white pine in the state indi-

cost planting the pine would prove
profitable as crop. paying at least 5
per cent compound interest at present
prices of lumber with every probable
ity that prices will be higher by the
time paintings now made are ready for
market.
Attention is called to the very rapid
way in which the investment increases
by compound interest and taxes 1t is
plainly unfair that the lumber crop
should be taxed over and over again
during growth, the tax gradually eat
ing up the profit from the plantation
1t would seem that every state would
see the advantage CT encouraging bust
ness tree planting by abating the tax
on Dast growth and taxing only the
annual increase. An original invest
ment of S. per acre for land and $12
for planting. compound interest and
taxes, in Connecticut amounts to $75
by the thirteenth year and to $3.50 In
seventy years. The present value OF
old plantations indicates that the
growth of pine lumber would pay for
the investment ard interest If original
cost were kept as low as possible. The
amount of lumber in one planting sew
enty years old showed that the annual
growth had been around a thousand
feet, indicating a yearly average in
come of Sc per acre for seventy years
Such figures indicate that forestry is
very good business investment for the
state as well as being desirable for
other reasons.

Wash Ecus For Market.

It would in sense be better to
wash eggs sent to market than to
send them in dirty condition. But
washed eggs have no keeping quail
ties. The water appears to dissolve
the gelatinous substance which seals
the pores of the shell. and air is thus
admitted and soon starts decomposi-
ton. The better way to treat dirty
eggs is to take a wooden rag only
slightly moistened with water and
gently rub off the dirt.

Nut Industry on the Farm.

An industry which the farmer might
take up with profit is nut growing.
Improved nut trees begin bearing at
about six or eight years, bearing the
same as apple or pear trees. Large
trees when grated begin to bear about
the third or fourth year, and large
trees that are budded will bear sooner
than small ones, but the small ones
bear longest. English walnuts can
now be grown in the central states.

Mrs. Elizabeth Payne Dies at Age Of
100 Years and Three Months.

Four years ago when Mrs. Eliza
beth Payne of this city celebrated
her ninety-sixth birthday she told
her relatives and friends that if she
lCould only live to see the hundredth
anniversary of her birth she would
be perfectly cOntented to die On the
! fifteenth day of last March this wish
was cratified and at 1920 Tuesday
morning this aged lady was called to
her reward. She had been exceeding
| ly feeble for several days and her
{death was momentarily expected. She
passed away peacefully and with a
smile on her lips.
Mrs. Payne was born March Is
lISO9, on the banks of the Cumhe'.
land river in Tennessee. Her mader
name was Dawault When she was
two years old her parents moved to
Indiana. where she was married to
/ William Payne on January %. 1925.
She came with her husband to Texas
in 1873 and located in WaXahachie,
where she resided continuously until
children born TO Mrs Payne only
one survives, Mrs. NJ. j Payne, with
whom she made her home for several
years.
The funeral service over the body
was held at the residence on Will
! liams street tuesday afternoon at
clock. The interment was made at
the city cemetery.
