plant or SOW as the case may be the
land with forest trees of the paying
kind.
The question if often asked, "What
would you advise me to plant!" This
is often hard question to answer, as
the successful raising of trees for
profit depends not only on the soil
and climate, but often as in agri-
cultural crops on the man who does
the work. These general rules, how
ever, may be layed down: First. that
it is always safer to raise species of
trees which is native to that region,
then to try to raise one which has not
been acclimated: Second, that all other
things being equal the fastest grow
ing trees should be chosen: Third,
the trees that will bring the most
money in the market, that can be
raised the largest number per acre at
the least expense are the ones to raise.
Fourth, the trees which have the least
number of enemies and can stand the

climatic changes the best and at the
same time are the same money pro-
ducers as others are to be considered
as good trees for commercial plan ling.
Now you may ask, how can l know
or find out these facts? There are
several ways. One is to write to your
experiment station for the informa-
ton. Another is to look around you
and notice what others are doing,
and what you might do. But do not
do as farmer of Southen Ohio who
had fine farm, but the locust trees
on his land were SO persistent in COM
ing up and occupying the ground
that he finally gave up the struggle
against them and sold his farm, and
then saw the man to whom he sold
come in and give over the farm to
the growth of locust trees, and in a
very short time make enough money
out of the locust trees flor fence posts)
to more than pay for the farm.
In some localities we could recon-

mend the locust as a good commercial
crop. in others the catalpa, and in
still others the white ash, etc. Every
locality has it's own popularity as to
soil, climate, etc., so that no general
rule can be given. The same holds
as to market prices.

TREES AS A MONEY
MAKING CROP.


timber is cut down in forest it will
take another crop about the same
time to mature from the seed as it
took the first. This idea comes from
the fact that they have seen agri
cultural crops year after year take
about the same time to grow and to
mature, and SO they can not think OF
anything different as regard the forest
tree crop.
Now while this may be true it the
forest we're left to itself and neither
Kindred nor held by the hand of man.
yet as the forest in most cases when
cut down by the hand of man, is left
in such condition that the reseed-
ing can not go on for many years to
come. and then only in part, it is
easily seen that there will not be a
forest at the proper time or at the
length of rotation in which there
should bea crop ready for cutting.
On the other hand, il the hand of
man is helping the restocking of the
land either by artificial reseeding or by
planting and then giving proper care
to the forest area, it will not be long
before the time of the virgin rotation
when we shall see another crop ready
for the woodsmans axe.
In the same way many people think
that il a certain forest area has yield
ed certain amount of timber that a
future crop from that same area
would be neither more nor less than
the first crop. They do not cary their
reasoning as regards their other crops
far enough to include the forest crop
in the crops of the land. 1t has been,
however, conclusively proven in some
of the European forests that virgin
forest can, after the first cutting, with
proper care and management, be made
to produce twice, yes three times as
much timber per year and per rota-
ton. Secretary of agriculture, Hon.
James Wilson, in one of his yearly
reports says, cit is as sure that forest
land can be made to grow successive
crops of trees under proper methods
as that pillow land can be made to grow
successive crops of wheat
But as American farming has had
to develop and is still developing
methods adapted to the condition of
each region to make the best of the
agricultural lands, so must the
forester and the man who wishes to
raise trees learn by scientific study,
and practical trial to make the best
use of our timber trees and our timber
land.
When we speak of trees as money
making crop, we mean, Of course, the
raising of trees in commercial way.
Commercial tree study begins with
the tree in the nursery, the forest or
the woodlot and follows it all the way
to the finished product in the market.
The first thing to be considered is
whether it will pay or not to raise a
certain species of tree in certain
locality. In order to determine that
we must know the market prices, the
length of time it takes the tree to
grow to commercial size, the expenses
connected with the raising and the
taking care of the tree till it is ready
for cutting. Then having figured our
