on tracts of waste land near Phillips,
Maine Last year 10000 of these
trees were set out, and they nave
thriVed to such an extent as to dem
onstrate the practicabil1ty OF sucn
transplanting. The success achieved
is regarded as definitely solving the
problem of refOrested wastes, and OF
providing the future supply of ma
terial for the paper mills OF New
England The big paper corporations
owning pulp lands no longer cut
wastefully, but employ scientific for
esters to superintend their cutting
and see the possibility of obtaining
perpetual supply through the proper
projection of young trees and the
adoption of systematic and continu-
