Future Forests in America.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears the following in
teresting paragraph predicting what
the future forests of America will be:
1T is just possible that a goodly
proportion of the future forest pro.
ducts will come from the Atlantic
coastal plain-seven millions of acres
of which are in the State of Virginia.
1t is mostly suited to agriculture,
but not a third of it is cropped
yearly. The forest prospects of this
area lie in the ease with which it
may be used for the growing of
trees. In the first place it tends to
plant itself, though artificial seed
ing should not be overlooked. The
Forest Service says, Various native
pines spring up readily and thrive
Markets of timber are close. Water
transportation is available. The
cost of keeping up forest is insig-
nificant, chiefly fire protection.
One of the best pines known is the
loblolly pine otherwise known as
the 'Oldfeld,' rosemary or slash
pine which grows naturally in these
regions. The Forestry people are of
the opinion that owners of farms in
this region would do well to dedicate
portions of their lands to these
trees. 1t takes from 20 to 40 years
to make a crop. but it can be shown
that without counting on rising
prices for lumber a return from 8
to 10 per cent can be expected on an
investment of from SIS t SIT an
acre. Men who plan for a long
time ahead should be interested in
this"

Sporting Nez0s Of the Day
BOWDOIN WORK FAST AND
White LOOKS FORMIDABLE

Brunswick, Me, Oct. H.-(SpeciaD..
Over 80 men responded to the aall
of Coach McCann for more material
to work against the Varsity sqcsa
and short practice held Wednesday
afternoon found capable team
against the first string men for the
first time inmany weeks. Louis Garce-
lon, the former star Bowdoin lineman,
has returned to his college for q while
and will drill the White in movements
calculated to break UP the skillful
open work of the Colby players.
In the short scrimmage held this aft
ernoon the showing of the first team
was satisfactory despite the fact that
Chapman, for the second team, sue
ceeded in scoring on a cleverly execut-
ed forward pass. Following Chapman's
touchdown the ball was given to
Varsity in about the center OF the
field, and in less than three minutes
George Goliath, halfback, had car
ried the ball over the line for the first
team.

BATES HOPES FOR DRY

Tufts. Captain Moore in the DOCTOR
cafe-the chances not to defeat the Z. of
NJ. here Saturday, but to make good
showing against the thrice football cham
pions depends on the whims of the gods.
That means that the Garnet needs the
breaks on its side and the greatest break
Coach Greene can have is fair weather
celon field will shatter the Bates chances
beyond recognition of the most optimistic
The results of the last two games show
that the coaches have been able to whip
the green material into line after recov-
cries from the Harvard and Tufts game,
but none of the varsity men are in good
shape and each is far from the form
usual at the start of a championship
week.
If the white-streaked field is firm and
dry there will be an opportunity to see
what a light team can do with the new
dances against heavy men. If the field
is anything like last year and the year
before, however, the ruels might as well
be in Tophet as far as Mr. Bates team
goes.

CAPT. FRASER OF
COLBY BACK IN
GAME AGAIN

Waterville, Me-, Oct. 21.-with the
first championship game of the season
only three days away, the Colby foot
ball warriors are griliing and grind
ing in daily and evening sessions OF
practice. Bowdoin has a good team
this year, and the blue and gray boys
are looking for a big fight next Sat
urday at Whittier field in Brunswick.
Coach Fuller and Captain Fraser are
exerting every power to send win
ming team down the river three days
hence, and the players are trying to
do their parts in the accomplishment
Of this act.
Captain Fraser will probably return
to his former position in the back
field, and his presence will undoubted-
ly brighten up the players and urge
them to fight harder than ever before.
Dutch" Schuster. inspite of the injury
which he sustained two weeks ago
may again appear in the field next
Saturday. All of the men will be in
toys, if nothing happens within the
next few days.
The Colby football squad misses the
presence of Pendergast, her veteran
guard, and a player from whom much
was expected in the coming championship
games. Pendergast received an injury to
his leg few nights ago in practice
scrimmage. At the time it was consider
ed but slight but as the time passed 1t
seemed to grow more serious until the
present time and he is now forced to re-
main on the hospital list. After a close
examination by physician it was decid-
ed that a small blood vessel had been
broken and will likely keep him oft of
the Bowdoin game at least. Pendergast
has been a regular man for three years
and Coach Fuller will find it hard prop
osition to find man to take his place
at such short notice.
