Pine GROWTH

St. Paul, Nov. 14.-The time-hon-

pine will not follow pine is being dis
covered this year in Minnesota, ac-
cording to VI T. Cox, state forester,
who has returned from Remer, Cass
county, where he witnessed the cus,
ting of a large crop of white pine
on land that was logged thirty five
years ago.
Only Deciduous Trees Grow.
There is a general belief among
lumbermen, according to Mr.. Cox,
that where pine is logged off only
d%eciduous trees will grow. The tim
Der in the country east of Leech
Lake, where Remer is located, was
logged off by T. B. Walker in 1873.
All trees less than ten inches in d.
ameter and all defective trees were
left standing and these furnished the
seed for the white pine which is TO-
being cut.
Methods Have Changed.
