The plants of early varieties are set
out in spring as early as the weather

two feet apart in the rows. The fall
grown plants are often planted in the
field in November. Burrows are turn

plants are set low in the burrows, so as

Later varieties require more room.
Early plants must be set deep-that is,
so the base of the leaves is below the
ground. If freezing weather comes

LUMBER CUT OF 1909.
Reduction Shown by Reports From
More Than 10000 Sawmills.

More Than 10000 Sawmills.
Every farmer in the United States
must be interested in the lumber pro
duced During the year 1908 81, 231
sawmills in the United States manu-
featured 1925. 100000 feet of lumber.
according to a preliminary report is
sued by the bureau Of the census.
These mills also cut II, LOG, 4S3, 900
shingles and 2,9S6, 6S4,OOO lath. Lum-
Der manufacturing, like every other
industry, felt the effects Of the bust
ness depression which began in Oc-
tober, 1907 Consequently the produc-
ton in 1908 was below that for the
previous year In 1907 the cut of
2S,S5O sawmills was 40,256 154 900 feet,
the highest production ever recorded.
Notwithstanding therefore, that in
1908 reports were received from per
cent more mills than in 1907, the de-
crease in lumber cut reported by them
was slightly over II per cent.
Washington, as for several years,
still ranks first among the states in
lumber production, its cut in 1908 be-
ing 2,915,92S,00O feet-a decrease of
22.S per cent over the cut in 1907.
Nearly all the lumber manufactured
in Washington is Douglas fir, the mar
ket for which was seriously affected
by the panic. Louisiana ranks second,
with 2,T22, 421 900 feet, a decrease Of
250,0OO,000 feet, or S4 per cent, from
the cut in 1907. Louisiana is first in
the production of both yellow pine
and cypress. Mississippi was the
third state in lumber production in
1908 with a total OF 1851, O16O0O feet
"a decrease OF II per cent from the
cut in 1907.
Arkansas ranked fourth with 1856
$4,000 feet, decrease Of nearly Il
per cent from the previous years out
put, and Wisconsin fifth with 1.G13,-
$4,000 feet against 2,O03,279O00 feet
i'll 1907. In Texas, where the lumber
industry is confined almost exclusively
to yellow pine the falling off was very
heavy. The total cut Of the state in
1908 was 1924 COS, 900 feet, a decrease
of BIG per cent from the cut in 1907
Eight other states manufactured
more than one billion feet each of
lumber last year. In the order of i'm
portance they were: Michigan, Oregon,
Minnesota. Pennsylvania, Virginia, AL
ALBANIA, North Carolina and West Nir-
ginia. California, Maine and other
states which reported more than one
billion feet each in 1907 went just be
low that figure i'll 1908.
While there are many very large
sawmills in the United States, the
small mills far outnumber the large
ones. Many of these small mills are
in the states which are not now of
first rank in lumber production. The
statistics for New York were collected
by the forest. fish and game commits
sion of that state, which secured re
ports from 2,29l mills. In Pennsyl
vania 2,224 mills reported to the cen.
