Getting acquainted in New York is thus

told me To sit down.
Sat down twenty-five minutes. Saw Il

"'Who's the man from Atlanta who

Il am the man. I replied, trying to
act as if / was also hurried.
Come along with me, said the man,
as he grabbed me by the arm. He dragged
me through the main door into the hall

car TO stop.
THE door of the car slid a. jar and the

MILLIONS IN TREE PLANTING
National Forester Outlines Possibili
ties of Waste Places.
t in the Boston Transcript

Clifford Pinchot in the Boston Transcript.
Not including old plantations that have
been cut, approximately $500 acres of
forest have been planted in New Eng
land. 1t is estimated that 100000 board
feet of white pine and $4,000 feet OF
hard woods could be harvested today
from plantations in New England.
Most of the white pine plantations have
been established within the last few years
and will not be ready to cut for twenty
five or thirty years. Two hundred million
feet is a conservative estimate of what
may then be obtained. From the trees
that have been planted during this year
of 1908 about $1,000 600 feet may be OBJ
tanned when the plantations become mer-
charitable. And only a beginning has
been made toward rendering productive
the immense area of land in New Eng
land which can be devoted to forest
growth better than TO anything else.

New England that need planting are Sc.
