ers who are unfamiliar with lumber
values because of having always sold
their trees for fuel wood are accepting
prices somewhat lower than $25 per
thousand feet b. m. Other growers VINO
have been selling piling are realizing
much more.
Oak and hickory are worth $40 to 500

Hardwood prices are constantly ad-
vancing and will undoubtedly be much
higher in few years, but at. the pres
ent time $25 per thousand is a safe
fair average.
The grower, who by proper planting
and care produces 100000 feet of timber
on an acre in ten years time. can
safely expect a net return of $25OO
This is not reasonable and may be
accepted as the standard of stumpage
value per acre of first class euca-
lypts of marketable size.
There is not as much variation OF
values in eucalyptus groves as In or
chards of fruit trees, because they 40
not require the constant care and are
not affected by fuctuating prices, but
there is nevertheless some variation in
the quantity and quality of the timber
product.
Growers who saw their own lumber
will also derive the lumberman's proht

and slabs for fuel wood.
The extracting of oil from the leaves
and twigs is also profitable, and the
keeping of bees where they can feed
on the eucalyptus blossoms adds to the
income. This bulletin, however, deals
only with the stumpage values that

THE MIGRATORY SENSE

The migration of birds, unlike the
migration of human beings, is very
mysterious thing. Flying, as most of
the song birds do, by night, coming
and going in great flocks, and chang
ing their locality for no one reason, but
for many, the problem of these tidal
waves in bird life is wholly fascinat-
ing. Mr.. D. Lange, in the Atlantic
Monthly, in discussing some phases of
it, speaks as follows concerning the
birds sense of direction:
"How do birds find their way? There
is no doubt that they are often guided
by sight along coasts, lakes, rivers and
valleys, which are plainly visible for
great distance from the height at
which birds travel
"In other cases, old birds which have
been over the route lead the way, and
the young birds follow their calls and
their leadership.
"What wonderful stories these wing
ed trevelers could tell if they could
talk to us! What fascinating teachers
of geogra ply they would make for our
children! 1t has, however, been SHOWN
lately beyond all reasonable doubt that
in addition to keen sight, acute hear
ing, individual experience and race in
stinct, birds possess what must seem
To US kind of sixth sense. the sense
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-02

of orientation.
THE Hartman Alaska expedition
found f1ocks of murres, which are sea-
birds, flying straight for their home on
a lonely rock island thirty miles away,
through a fog so thick that everything
a hundred yards off was absolutely
hidden from view. What human brain
could guide a ship thirty miles through
a dense fog without a compass?
"Still more conclusive demonstration
of this sense of direction in birds has
recently been furnished by Prof. John
B. Watson. He caught and marked
fifteen sooty terms and noddies on the
Dry Tortugas, in the Gulf of Mexico,
and took them out to sea. Some OF
the birds were carried as far as Cape
Hatteras, $50 miles north of the Tor
tugas, before they were set free.
The sooty hens and the noddies are
southern birds, which seldom range
farther north than the southern coast
of Florida, and it is not likely that
any of them experimental on had ever
been farther north; but none the less
thirteen out of fifteen found their way
back to the Tortugas Islands

USE OF WOODS EXCEEDS GROWTH

1.-THE total yearly drain upon our for
ests, not counting losses from hres.
storms and insects, Is some twenty Dill
lion cubic feet" says r. S. Kellogg, as
sistant forester in charge of the ofllce
of forest statistics, in publication just
issued by the forest service on Ihe
Timber Supply of the United States.
"Our present forest area of 550,000,000
acres may be roughly estimated to con-
sist of 200, 600, 900 acres of mature forests,
in which the annual growth is balanced
by death and decay of 25O,OOO,OOO acres
partially cut or burned over on Wnlch,
with reasonable care, there is sufficient
Young growth to produce in the course
of time a merchantable, but not run
crop of timber, and 10O,OO0,0OO acres Vi
more severely cut and burned over for
ests. on which there is not sutficielt
Young growth to produce another crop
of much value.
"Taken as whole, the annual growth
of orr forests under these conditions
does not exceed twelve cubic feet per
acre, total of less than I0O0,O0o'ooo
cubic feet. That Is, we are cutting our
forests three times as fast as they are
growing. There is menace IN the CON
tinuance of such conditions. While we
might never reach absolute timber eX-
haustion. the unrestricted explo tation
of our forests in the past has already
had serious effects, and 1t VIII nave
much worse if it is allowed to continue
unchecked.

once considered inexhaustlble, mas

and more than As per cent since l9oo'
The cut of oak, our most valuable hard
wood lumber, has decreased 16 per cent
since 1900. and that of yellow poplar "
ner cent. The same story will be told
of other woods if they are not con-
served.
"The fact that timber has been cheap
and abundant has made US careless or
its production and reckless in its use.
We take 250 cubic feet of wood per
capita annually from our forests, while
Germany uses only 81 cubic feet, ana
France but 25 On the other hanu'
