MAPLE is HOLDING ITS OWN

Though at one time in the early
history OF the country an average of
5000 maple trees were destroyed in
clearing the ordinary New York or
Pennsylvania farm, maple is today,
according to the department of agri.
culture, one Of the most widely used
and valuable native hardwoods
A bulletin on the uses or maple,
Just issued by the department, states
that the wood finds place in an enor-
nous number of articles in daily use
from rolling pins to pianos and organs.
It is one of the best woods for floor.
ing and is always favorite material
Tor the floors OF roller skating Kinks
and bowling alleys. 1t leads all other
