pasturage for sheep, horses and
cattle.
There are hundreds of acres worn
out farm land that does not produce
enough in ten years to pay taxes one

Why not plant this in black locust
and realize more from II than any
other part of your farm. This is a
business proposition worthy of
weighty and immediate considera-
ton.

8 inches through and 10 inches long
is worth 20 cents each in the rough.
1t is also good for spokes and felloes
(fellies). and is the highest priced
timber in the market to day.
Every farmer, rich or poor, should
grow for himself an acre or two Of
black locust. And il our young
farmers set a few thousands trees,
it will pay them better than life in

the benefit of such investment. and
once you have planted locust you

The Great Problem.

Is how we are to get posts tc
fence our farms and build our tele.
phone lines9 The day has come
when we can no longer 60 to the
woods to get posts and poles for any
purpose.
What shall we dor is in the minds
of every farmer. Our oaks, sassa-
fras and mulberry are about all
gone. And the wide-awake farmers
are looking about to see what kind
of timber they can grow that will be
profitable. Some who have we;
land are planting that true and tried
favorite, Catalpa.
OF this plant there are but two
kinds to-wit Catalpa Bignonioides
named for that tribe of Indians of
North Carolina, by Catesby, who
discovered il in 1927. II has i'm
mense leaves with blue or white
flowers, trumpet shaped, and long
cylindrical pods. This is merely
an ornamental species, quick to
grow and quicker to decay.
Another catalpa is more con-
tiguous to Tennessee and the South,
Catalpa Speciosa Mississippi Vally.
OF slower growth, hardy, compact
and easy to cultivate. This catalpa
will pay and make its owner good
money if managed right from the
start.
Now let US see what one acre will
pay in fifteen years.

cents each will be $l622.40. In
