In order to get crop of potatoes we
plant and cultivate; If we want the
best orchard we spray and prune, but
we let nature plant and care for the
wood lot, and then we wonder why
that wood lot does not pay.
The timber crop can be improved by
care for the same reason that other
crops can be improved.
Although 1t takes longer to raise
this crop than any other, 1t can be
raised on land otherwise Improbable
or idle.
Such crop will in the end yield a
comfortable bank account, and the
value of the wood lot to the farm Is
greater than the sale value of the
crop in the convenience and the saw
ing of money by having various wood
products at hand, in protecting the
buildings and fields from wind and
in the beauty of the farm. The time
is coming when thrifty young timber
not yet large enough to cut, will have
a good sale value.
The care of this crop causes little
expense. and the wood lot offers one
means of solving the problem of how
TO keep good farm help profitably
employed all the year
The three principal aims in caring
for the wood lot should be to keep
the ground thoroughly covered with
trees, to have only the best possible
trees and to make them grow rapidly.
In order to make timber grow fast
care should be taken in choosing the
kinds of trees to raise, the soil should
be kept moist and mellow by protect
| ing the leaf mulch, and the best trees
should be given a fair amount of
| light by making Improvement cut
| tings.
Methods of starting new trees
either to fill openings now in the
woods or to replace timber to be har
vested, are as follows: BY sprouts
by seed falling from neighborinl
trees. by sowing seed broadcast anC
by planting trees or seed.
When you look over the woodlot yol
will find that some OF the trees are
broken down and some have the limbs
more or less broken or injured. Cut GU
the trees that cannot survive so yol
can put in a new one, protecting i
from stock.
There are some things to pay atten
tior to in trimming trees of any kind
Consider it as surgical operation
then you will see the Importance o
some of these suggestions.
When large limb must be cut OF
try and leave as small q wound a
possible and yet not leave stub. Thi
