As the list shows, the three heaviest
freight producing crops are cabbage,
onions, and potatoes Lumber is fourth.
Up to the present time timber has been
cut almost exclusively from wild land,
without much regard to the acres gone
over. But the time is coming when the
yield of wood per acre will be calculated
as carefully as the yield of corn, and as
much thought will be given to growing it,
though not as much work. How much
wood grows on an acre in year?
Some of the abused, burnt, washed and
neglected lands are producing only little.
1t has been estimated that the typical
hardwood regions of Tennessee, where fire
is kept out, are growing about 5000
pounds of wood yearly per acre. Good
stands of young pines in other parts of the
country are probably doing as well or
better. But this is not the limit, for
foresters say woodland can do much better
under forestry methods. Good timber
must be selected, the poor cut out, Just
as the farmer plants the best kinds of corn
and rejects the poor. In Europe where
they raise crops of trees they get, under
favorable conditions, any annual growth of
1900 pounds to $500 pounds of wood per
acre. This country can do at least as well.
The freight carriers, however, seldom
transport the whole wood growth. The
waste is left in the woods or at the mill.
This is much Or little, depending upon
what is made of the wood before the
transportation company gets it. 1t is
apparent, however, that after deducting
for waste the growth of an acre of timber
furnishes more freight than an acre of any
one of the agricultural crops except
cabbage, onions, and potatoes.
The quantity of any one of these COM
modities that will go to the market is
limited by demand, but the demand
for lumber is not diminishing. All that
the forests and planted lots can supply
will go to the market.
Woodland under care, yields yearly
crops as egularly as wheat fields, The
marketable timber only is cut at regular
intervals and new growth is always
coming on AS freight producer, a
timber tract may he depended upon as
surely as potato field. In fact, it is
surer; for land in farm crops wears out
unless constantly fertilized, but timber
land fertilizes itself with its leaves, and
becomes richer 1t will yield undimin-
ished crops forever
Trees grow on rough land where agri-
culture cannot profitably be carried on,
and the freight and other returns from
such regions are largely clear gain since
such land would otherwise be producing
little or nothing.

SPORTING NOTES
Cooked on the Bleachers.

Earl Moore has pitched winning
ball for the Philadelphia Nationals
this season in spite of his teams
poor work.
Some of those North Pole scouts
must be baseball fans following n
losing team with mallets aforc-
thought.
The all-around playing of Dick
Hoblitzel, of the Cincinnati Reds, has
shown a big improvement this sea-
son.
"Chick" Evans, the crack Hartford
pitcher, is taking his first and last
trip of the season with the Boston
Doves.
After several successful seasons
Manager Billy Clymer, of the Column
bus club, has resigned. Plotting q
German sender" team was too
much for Bill.
The fans don't see a home run hit
with the bases filled very often now
adays, but Becker, of the Boston Ma
ltionals, put over the stunt recently
in game with the Giants.
If wide across the narrows counts
for anything, William Brannan
should make good as National
League umpire. He is six feet three
and broad in proportion.
Pitcher Johnny Fisher, who was
knocked about the minor leagues for
several seasons, came into his own
this season by winning 16 games in
a row for the Wheeling team of the
Central League.
Jesse Burkett, the old National
Lacquer, belongs with the there"
class of managers He lbs just
copied his fourth straight pennanr
with his Worcester team of the New
England League.

VERMONT NEWS
Items Of Interest Cleaned From All
Parts of the Green Mountain
State.
A BrattIeboro Amusement Park.

Brattleboro is to have an amuse-
ment park for the season of 1910,
coated on the island just across the
Connecticut river bridge. Ten or Is
Brattleboro men styling themselves
the Island Amusement Company"
have bought up or received options
on all the land lying north of the
road. The plan is to build a baseball
diamond with a covered grand stand
adjoining a large pavilion on the wa
ter's edge for dancing, and eventu-
ally a cinder track, tennis courts and
all other things that go for outdoor
enjoyment. 1t will also be place
where the children of the town can
gather to play, and a playground is
certainly greatly needed in Brattle-
boro. The ball field is now being
graded. Turf has been removed
where the diamond will be and made
as level as a floor. The turf will be
replaced over the level surface,
rolled and watered and will be
ready for use early next spring. A
grand stand to accommodate 1000
people is planned so that entrance
can be gained directly from the east
end of the bridge. High board
fences will probably be placed on
the south and east sides of the
grounds The pavilion, which is
planned, will be 100 feet long and so
feet wide, and will have wide We
randa overhanging and overlooking
the river, and it is planned to have
a band or orchestra constantly in
attendance for dancing parties. The
veranda will be situated so that a
view of the river can be obtained, a
decided convenience when boat races
are taking place. The whole thing
will be surrounded by shrubbery,
flower beds and trees.

for the first time.
The practice was held for the CEN
ters and quarterbacks only The
big problem is to develop first and
second string men for those two
important positions. Thompson, the
old Boston Latin man; Dingle, the
big basket ball captain, and Brooks
being the more prominent among
the candidates for the place at the
middle of the line Pishon, Brady
and Boylan were tried at quarter.
There was lot of work in SNAP

ing under supervision of Coaches
Lilliard and Randall. The line
coaches put their men to work on
the charging machine for the first
time, all candidates for the forward
positions having a chance to kick up
the grass on the gridiron in the
charging practice.
Ingersoll and Ryan were out for
the first time Ryan is not to try
for quarter but is to take a chance
in the backfeld. kid" Stewart, the
1906 half who it was thought would

other than the veteran. For this real

Stop Ten Minutes. -

Columbus, Ca, Sept 19-If Presi-
dent Taft makes his promised ten
minutes visit to Columbus, he will
be given about the blacklist" recep-
ton on record. Angered because
the President had cut short his visit
after great preparations had been
made to entertain him, the COM
mittee announced that there will be
no official welcome to President Taft,
and it is not believed that there will
be single city official at the depot
to greet him. A number of negro
organizations stated, however, that
they will be on hand. A number of
citizens are talking of starting a pc
tition asking the President to change
his route but the conservatives OPP
pose the action.

TIMBER AS A CROP.
Increasing Realization Among Farm
ers of the Value Of Timber Land.

Lumber is one of the chief freight COM
modities produced by land. It's weight
per acre surpasses corn, barley, oats,
wheat and rye.
Few people are aware of the care used
by railroads in keeping tab Of the produc-
tiveness of land along their lines from the
standpoint of the amount of freight pro-
duced by various crops. Heavier the crops
per acre, the more business for the rail-
roads. Nor are there many people who
think of lumber as crop, and one of the
most important crops at that, which con-
tributes large share Of the freight bust
ness of railroads.
The quantity of freight produced by a
crop depends upon soil, region and kind of
crop Railroads figure it from that point
Of view. Their profit depends upon ton
mage and class, and they want to know
what crop pays the carrier best.
Many averages in many localities are
necessary to reach reliable results. Care is
necessary, too, in applying to one region
the figures obtained in another Indiana,
Illinois and Kentucky are the center of a
vast productive region, and averages
there possess as much value as those of any
part Of the country, but, of course, they
cannot be applied everywhere An acre
is credited with yield as follows:

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.

The Prohibition party of Rhode Is
land has named Willis H. White, of
Providence, for Governor.
Representative Miles c. Poindex-
ter, of Spokane, may become can
didate for the seat of United States
Senator Piles, Of Washington.
Massachusetts Prohibitionists, in
their recent State convention, adopt
ed a platform declaring in favor of
an income tax, election of United
States Senators by the people, wo-
man suffrage and a tariff commits
sion.
Charles p. Taft, of Cincinnati,
Representative Nicholas Longworth
and ex-Secretary of the Interior
James Garfield are already mention
ed as aspirants for the seat of Unit
ed States Senator Dick, whose term
expires March I, 1911.
Leigh r. Freeman, a pioneer of
the Northwest and who is widely
know as ''the father of good roads
and irrigation" will make an active
campaign at the coming primary ell
ection in Washington for the Repub-
lican nomination as United States
Senator.
Henry Crosby Emery, who has
been named by President Taft to head
the new tariff board, has devoted
many years to the study of econom-
les, with speculations along political
lines. Since 1900 he has been pro-
fessor of political economy at Yale.
Lewis Stuyvesant Canler, the de-
ernor of New York in 1906, and for
two years Acknowledgements of the
State, intends to become a Democrat
ic candidate for the General Assem-
bly, at the election this fall.
Congressman Charles G. Reid, who
has represented the Fifth District of
Arkansas for the past eight years,
has declined to become candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Arkansas. His present
plan is to retire from public life at
the expiration of his term in the
House.
The opinion prevails in Washing
ton that Congress will do little more
work than mark time and pass ap-
propriate bills the coming session.
With the tariff situation awaiting the
disposition of the income tax and
railroad legislation hating for a de-
cision of the Supreme Court, in the
Missouri rate case defining the rate
fixing powers of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, the field may be
left open for a limited grist of cor
porate law but not much more.
If the next House of Representa-
tives is Democratic, Champ Clark,
o missouri, will probably be Speaker
and Representative Underwood, of
Alabama, chairman of the Ways and
Means committee. If the Republicans
continue in control, Mr.. Cannon will
in all probability again be Speaker
and Representative Payne, of New
York, again chaii hian of the Ways
and Means committee. Such at least
seems to be the calculation from the
Washington point of view.
The Republicans have begun a
spirited campaign for the Governor
ship in Virginia. The party leaders
are making roseate predictions of
carrying tho State. Tie more sober
judgment of well-informed politici-
ans, however, is that this is not to
be expected, but that it is possible
that the Democratic majority may be
cut into heavily The Democratic
party in the State is divided irto fac
TORS, while the republicans seem
united.
