his business is to cut trees into small sections, and
study their structure under the microscope in the
forest service laboratory. After long study he
writes report which later is printed at consider
able expense by the government for public dstri-
bution but up to now the public has taken very
little interest in xylotomist, and there has not been
request for such report since the forestry SER

anxiously hoping that if there is anywhere in the

: Some genius in Spokane. with a taste for statis-
tics has figured out that the crop harvested on
commercial apple orchards in the state of Wash
ington this year would mean about eight apples, in
an equal distribution, for every man. woman and
child in the United States, according to the esti-
mate of the 1910 census. The yield is placed at
$500 carloads, which growers and buyers say is a
conservative estimate. There are $50 boxes in a
car, and the average box contains 1872 apples, ma
king total of IT'S, 24O 600 apples.
It is also figured that if the apples harvested in
the United States this year were converted into
pies, the army of bakers required to do the work
would turn out 25O 600 pies, which placed side by
side, would make path of almost 975, 600 miles,
or enough to girde the earth 80 times. The total
weight of this mountain of pastry, including flour,
lard and other ingredients, is estimated at $780,
