The Profits
From ! Acre 5 5000

From 10 Acres 10000

After the first cutting these profits repeat
themselves every seven years indefinitely; for
the tree springs anew from the stump and
grows much faster than before From five acres
a revenue equal to $500 a year at the first
cutting. and thereafter over $4,000 year.

It's Commercial Uses

The need for proving eucalyptus has passed.
1t is no longer necessary to demonstrate that
eucalyptus can be used for all the purposes for
which other hardwoods are employed. 1t is so
used everywhere The extent of this use is
limited only by the present limit of the sup
ply If Supply could be drawn upon sufficient
to meet all possible requirements, not a foot of
eastern hardwood would be shipped to the Pa
c1fc Coast today for manufacturing purposes.
Moreover, when such supply becomes available,
eastern manufacturers assert that they must
establish themselves on this Coast, as the east
ern source of supply will soon have ceased.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-07

Never before have such an abundant
water supply and soil of such alluvial
richness been devoted to eucalyptus.
Never before has any eucalyptus COM
pany offered such protection to the in
vestor or merged itself so completely
with his interests.
Never before have all the necessary
factors for commercial success been SO
combined to insure the maximum
profits.
Never before has any company at
tempted to offer such values at so low
a price.
Glenarden, by it's possession of every
natural and commercial advantage
marks new era in the eucalyptus in

What We Do

The American Forestration Company has
studied every need peculiar to the eucalyptus
industry, as a commercial enterprise; and It's
operating methods more completely meet these
needs than any system hitherto devised, 1t has
embodied in it's operating methods neao featur9
tohtch distinguish it from any operating COZ
p1ny.
The planting and culture of the tree the first
two years is but one part of the eucalyptus in
dustry as a commercial enterprise. After that
comes the protection to the gr0t0ing tree, the
payment Of tdDes and expenses incidental to the
Npkeep, and proUiding both the best market for

The Profits
To the uniformed the commercial value OF
these trees is startling, almost incredible so lit

of the commercial value of eucalyptus is seen
in the project conceived by Clifford Pinchot,
head of the national forestry service, and now
under way, to plant 25,000000 of these trees
along the course of the great aqueduct between
Los Angeles and the Owens River. Within

This surplus would relieve both the city and
county of Los Angeles from all needs of taxa
ton for ten years Before that time another
cutting of these trees would yield another $780,

The eucalyptus has not single known dis
ease. It's peculiar sap repels all pests, no
blights afflict it. Droughts do it no harm, for
its roots drink up its copious sustenance from
the subirrigated soil, making all seasons alike.
Careful culture, during its first few years,
t0ith abundant irrigation while its roots are be-
coming established, supplies the aid needed to
its growth. So hardy is this tree, that there
is known instance of its dying a natural
death.
Panics, strikes, political changes, bursted

ROW SEEMS ASSURED
OVER PAPER TARIFF
Treasury Department Expecting Flood of Protest From
Consumers, With Result That Congress Will Have
to Reconsider Retaliatoy Rates EHecting
Certain Canadian Provinces.

u begins to look as if a fine row viii
be stirred Up In consequence OF the re-
tsliatory tariff rates imposed by Con-
gross on print paper from. certain Can
adian provinces and because Of the
Treasury regulations which have just
been given out Oh print paper impor-
tations from those provinces.
Good reason exists for the belief the
Treasury will be Hooded with protests
from consumers Of print paper. 1t is
likely the matter will be agitated in the
coming session Of Congress. II is quite
clear in the light Of the Treasury reg
ulations that no reductions Of import
snce on print paper coming from Can
ada are 10 be expected.
Under the D.ugley law. the rate on
print paper was s. per ton. The effect
~ the recent Treasury regulations IS
10 leave the rate on paper cominR from
the province Of Ontario at BID per ton
and on the print PAPER from Quebec a
little over So per ton. These arc the
figures which INC Treasury experts say
viii obtain. il is clear that in one case
only a nominal reduction from the
DiuEley rate has been effected and IN
the other an actual increase has been
brought about.
Outlined BY Mann.
10 great reason exists for surprise
that this is the case. though It Is prob
able that a large share Of Congress did
not realize what vas being done when
the print paper rate was fixed. But the
situation was set forth clearly by Rep
resentative Mann Of Illinois when he at
tackled the conference report I'm the
House and declared he would not vote
for H. And he kept his word and
voted against it. Mr.. Mann Old the
House then that the effect OF the re-
taliatOry duties which had been fixed
up would be 10 impose a duty Of 1913 a
