COMMERCIAL ASPECTS OF TREE
PLANTING

1t sometimes takes a live sport to
bring out a point that otherwise might
remain hidden indefinitely. Some five
years ago two festive American citizens
in the vicinity of Walhalla entertained
different opinions as to how much wood
could be cut from an acre of natural
timber. The timber in question con-
sisted of the much abused and despised
White Poplar, only that and nothing
more. 1t had been encumbering the
land for a period of eighteen years. that
is to say. on a certain dry autumn day
eighteen years before a fire had swept
over the land cleaning up every vestige
of living vegetation. From the roots of
the poplar trees that had been consumed
by the fire new trees sprang up as thick
as the proverbial hair on the traditional
dog. At the end of eighteen years they
had waxed and grown fat to the extent
that one of these aforesaid sportive
citizens ventured to guess that there
could be IS cords of 4 #. wood cut from
a single acre. His opponent offered to
give substantial backing to his own
opinion that there would be somewhat
less. The wager was accordingly laid,
the stakes. being deposited with the
village deacon, who was put under
bonds not to 60 over to the Canadian
side until after the wood was cut. The
acre was then measured off and with
the aid of a bunch of half breeds who
saw in rapt vision sufficient smoking
tobacco to last them for the balance of
the winter, was quickly reduced to 4 #.
cord wood. After being piled it was
measured by a reliable committee who
reported the product of the cut to be
exactly go cords. The money was &C.
cordingly paid W and the deacon re-
leased from his bonds. The half-breeds
had been paid so cents per cord for
cutting and putting the wood in piles
and piling the brush. The wood was
sold on the ground for So. so per cord,
making the total net income of the one
acre tract $270. 90.
The moral of this story is that this
acre produced an annual net income
during the eighteen years of SIS. 90 pc
acre. The writer of this true tale was
upon the ground when the wood was
being drawn off. He was also there
three years after and made the rash at
tempt to drive across the tract with a
heavy farm team and a pair of bobsleds.
The three years trees which had grown
up since the wood was cut were so large
and thick that the team was unable to
make its way across. 1t is fair to pre-
sumo that at the end of another eighteen
year period a like amount will be cut,
only in that day the wood will net $50.
instead of $27. The White Popular
can be grown anywhere in North Dakota.
Young trees should be set four feet apart
each way. Some ~benighted farmers are
erubbing out these poplars to prepare
the land for wheat on which the annual
net profit is less than S.. 90 per acre:
