From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The planting of three and a half
million trees within a period of eight
years by single corporation is an
item of practical forestry deserving
the attention of students of forest con-
servation. In the adoption of it's pol
icy of tree planting the Pennsylvania
Railroad company is acting under the
pressure of economic necessity, the
growing scarcity of railroad ties and
the increasing cost of those available
having pointed the necessity of max
ing provision for the future. This
great undertaking, calling for profess
sional skill of a high order. "a very
considerable outlay of land and CAPT
tai and a patient waiting for results.
is in line with other similar forestry
experiments by railroads in the Unit
ed States, but differs from all of them
in it's magnitude. Unlike some of the
railroad ''tie-wood plantations those
OF the Pennsylvania are not confined
to the cultivation of the quick-grow-
ing catalpa, but give preference to
black locust and red oak. And the
effort is not confined to the cultiva-
ton of suitable timber, but involves
the study and eradication of insect
enemies of different trees and the per-
lection of wood preservative process
SEES. Altogether the work is a COM
pick and difficult one, but if it results
in securing to the railroads regular
and adequate supply of the material
it will probably justify all the cost
and trouble.

Business Review of The
Past Week BY Henry Clews

ued easy rates until changed conditions
assert themselves. The foreign mon
ey markets are also easy and in sound
condition. all OF which will powerfully
tend TO encourage worldwide recovery.
Our foreign trade is still a source of
some dissatisfaction because of large
imports and small exports. and this
situation is not likely to be corrected
while the price of levelng the United
States is so much above that abroad
Either foreign prices must rise TO a
closer parity with ours, or our own
prices must recede, which is hardly to
be expected until abundance takes the
place of scarcity. This condition in
our foreign trade suggests the proba-
bility of large gold exports during the
coming spring. the only check TO which
will be foreign purchases of American
securities. Fortunately. conditions are
somewhat favorable in this respect.
Money abroad, as just said. is easy
Notwithstanding this weeks loss of
gold to the Bank of England and the
disposition toward American securities
is distinctly more satisfactory since the
January decline. There is good de
mand for bonds both at home and
abroad. and the improvement in this
indication for stocks. About $4,000,
600 new issues have been announced
this week and more are pending in.

The treasury situation is better than at
one time anticipated. Customs re-
ceipts have been heavy and returns
from the Corporation Tax are likely to
exceed early estimates. This delays
an issue of a government loan, though
should the Corporation Tax be declared
unconstitutional the treasury would be
short the amount collected. Our rail
, roads are enjoying a large traffic: the
results for January proving much bet
ter than expected. If this condition OF
affairs continues it will tend to offset
the disQuiet caused by demands for
higher wages. The withdrawal of the
leading Rockefeller interests from their
various activities is not likely to have
any material effect upon the market
For some time past this enormous pow
err has made itself felt only in the in
vestment market. AS speculative
factor the Rockefeller fortune has been
of small influence. except in times OF
panic to check disaster. Mr.. Rookie
Teller and his son have been builders
rather than spectators, and their more
complete withdrawal from active bus
mess means much less to the stock
market than the retirement or the
death of Mr.. Hartman. who was es
sentially man of speculative pro
clivities.

Another week of comparative quiet
has passed, during which the tenden-
eies on the Stock Exchange were visi-
bly, toward Improvement. The under
tone is stronger. and confidence is ris-
ing. At the same time there are
enough uncertainties TO prevent any
premature upward movement. Labor

plOyeS, but the violence shown in Phil
adelphia naturally arouses fears of pos
sible disturbances elsewhere. 1t is
not forgotten also that the Standard
Oil and Tobacco cases are still before
the Supreme Court. and that decision
may be anticipated at almost any time
in the next few months. There is less
fear of drastic opinion than a few
months ago. but these two cases are in
any event important elements of un-
| certainty. Some further hesitation
has been induced by sensational re-
ports of damage to the winter wheat
crop. but as these prove to have been
much exaggerated they may be dis
missed: it being too soon to form any
reliable idea as to the condition of the
winter wheat crop.
When it comes to considering the ia,
vorable features the balance appears to
be largely on the side of the latter. The
political skies are Frightening. and I'M

slowly abating. Business conditions
are generally satisfactory, although

period of the year before the spring
trade sets in. Dry goods buyers are
especially conservative for the reason
that distributors refuse to stock UP

FAIR IS AN ESTABLISHED
FACT.

At a we'll attended meeting of the
directors OF the Interstate Fair Assoc
citation held yesterday morning the re-
port Of Secretary Jas. c. Watson,
showing the receipts and jisburse-
ments. with recommendations of the
secretary, was received and read.
This shows a deficit of quite a sum,
which was passed to the finance COM
mittee for settlement.
In view of the small entrance fee
charged at the gate. the directors
were pleased that the deficit was not
larger. The fair is an established
fact for Pensacola, and the directors
are determined to have it upon even
a larger scale next year.

The report of the secretary was
read as follows:
To the Officers and Directors of the

1910 fair having been concluded, with

can only feel that the 1910 Fair
was of untold benefit to the territory
included within the bounds of its Or
ganization, and that it will be the
means of inducing immigration into
the counties represented.
Much praise is due the Management
of each Department of the Fair, and
especially Miss Chipley, as Chairman
of the Woman's Department; whose
efforts to excel in her display of
woman's work in this territory. added
much to the general success Of the
Fair. The ease and manner in which
her Department was carried on. and
the system employed, proved her the
right person in the right place.
A vote of thanks is also due all
those who untiringly worked for the
success of the Fair. and the Mayor
and Chairman Of the Board of Public
Works are entitled to the thanks Of
this Board for responding Immediate
ly to an emergency call for water for
lie grounds; the supply being entire
ly inadequate at the Fair Grounds.
The United States Hospital Corps
deserve the consideration of this
Board for their excellent work during
the Fair, and for the numerous emer-
gency cases given prompt and proper
attention. Much credit is due Dr.

PROFESSORS ROLLS, MQUARRlE
AND SPENCER TO VISIT EScAM-
6iA, SANTA ROSA, WALTON
AND WAkULLA COUNTIES.

Gainesville, Fla, Dec. 1.-Profes-
sors Rolls, McQuarrie and Spencer
leave today for west Florida to con-
duct a series of Institutes in Escam-
bia, Santa Rosa, Walton and Wakulla
counties. This series of meetings will
run up to- December 23rd, when the
staff will return to Gainesville for a
few days before going out ON a similar
trip in another portion of the state.
The demand for Farmers Institutes
exceeds that of all previous years
combined. making it necessary that
the counties must be handled in such
a way that the greatest number of
meetings can be given in the short
est length of time. The present
schedule gives sixteen Institutes in
the counties mentioned.
The farmers of the respective co,rn-
ties have become deeply interested in
the Institute work that is being done
in their midst Everything looks ia
vorable for large attendance and
successful meetings from all classes
of business men. as we'll as farmers.
and while these Institutes are CON
Quoted at large expense TO the Uni
versity Of Florida. it is felt that nc

are equally effective for bringing
about better farming methods to the
individual farmer in the state.
The staff is especially we'll prepar-
ed to meet the demands of farmers in
the state, having prepared an equip
ment superior to that of any other
southern state for institute work.
Professor Rolls has been able by his
persistent efforts to organize the In
stitutes for Florida in such a way
