destruction. He said This could
now be remedied by planting
trees on all such waste places
and advocated the yellow locust
as the best tree Tor this purpose.
Thought they should be planted
about FIVE feet apart and in dia-
monds rather than squares; that
this cloce together they would
trim themselves aud grow straight
stems: believed there would be
a profit in cutting for posts after
fifteen years, aud that when the
trees were removed the land
would be found restored in fer
tility. He quoted a Spencer
county man who said it was bet
ter to grow locust than TO par
chase an Investment life ih-ur-
ance policy; that locust would
sometimes cut four posts 10 the
tree at ifteen years of age.
Thought every farmer should put
part of his land in locust or
some other suitable timber. Es-
timated 800 cost to raise one
acre OF locusts in fifteen years.
Mr.. Atkinson Speaks.
Mr.. JObn b. Atkinson spoke
briefly on the same topic. Told
of beginning to plant black wal

forestry, one hundred bushels Of
nuts each year, ia the bottom

The ST. Bernard company came

exhibiting grasses aud grain,
grown on such lands, at the
Worlds Columbian Exposition,

ion at St. Louis and other expo
sitiOns, and OF prizes taken. One
sample had attracted attention
especially, at st. LOUIS, fine

the other grasses exhibited by
him at st. Louis, had been cap.

straw berry was the poor mans

said any land that would grow

Kentucky was near the markets ;
that we have more water front
