FORESTRY ADVICE 10 CHANGERS
Plant Pine Trees Says Assistant State Forester A. E. Moss- Is Speaker Before Meeting of Norwich Granse-Ade quate Return from Planting in 40 Years.

Norwich grange. No TIP. Patrons of Husbandry, conducted a Forestry evening in the lecturers hour at it's meeting in Pythian hall on wednes- day evening and heard an interesting and instructive address from Albert E. Moss of New Haven. assistant state forester.
 After the business of the meeting had been disposed of, with Worthy Master k. C. Jewett presiding, Lec- turer Frank T. Naples introduced Mir Moss. who had come in place of State Forester Filley, who had been unable to come as he had intended. In open ing his address MT. Moss spoke of ear- ly conditions of the forests of Con- pecticut in colonial times, saying that the state was then very heavily wood ed. but with large trees and with very little underbrush, or the colonists would never have been able to make some of the overland journeys across the state through the woods which are recorded of them.
 The colonist had an idea that the lowlands were unhealthy, so that they first cleared off the hilltops for farms and they also had a fear that there would be a shortage of timber, but this was dispelled when they subse- squently learned of the great forests of the west. Now the hilltop farms are considered the poorest land in the state.
 Changes in the character of the trees are indicated by the name Candle wood Hill" which is found all through the southern part of the state, and in- dicates place where pine knots used for firewood could be picked up. Now these places have all disappeared. The colonists used the up and down type of sawmill and sent much ship timber back to England, as we'll as sending barrel slaves to the West Indies. The abandoned hilltop farms reverted to forest, showing an increase of wood- land acreage but not of timber.
 At the present time, he said, the portable sawInill makes accessible. and therefore marketable, many hitherto inaccessible pieces of woodland
 MT Moss gave some advice as to forest plantations and said there was much land in sthe state that could be used that way advantageously, which now grew nothing but scarlet oak or tuft grass. but should be planted to white pine, which can be done at a first cost of about SIS per acre. This is on rocky knolls which are not pro- ducing anything now. There are a number of such plantations which have been made in the state. some of 450 to 800 acres. Some are set in white pine and red pine. The trees are set six feet apart each way and man should set 500 trees to an acre.
Norwich bulletin., 1914-06-25

MT Moss said that the best financial
 returns would be realized from a for
 est plantation in 40 years. but it could
 be cut sooner. As an instance of how
 the trees grew. he said that in a plan-
 tation at Portland trees set seven years
 ago were now 12 feet high and at
 Granby where trees were set in 1903
 these are now IS to 20 feet high. For est plantations can be made success
 on the poorest kind of land, land that
 is too poor to grow tobacco.
 The speaker mentioned several things which increase the value of the farmers woodland or hasten the cut
 ting of of the trees. Good roads and
 transportation are in the first class. while chestnut blight and taxes hasten the cutting off of the wood. The
 chestnut blight scares the farmer and is used by the mill man to his advan- tage. as when he finds tree affected with blight he is apt to use that as inducement to get the farmer to sell in the fear that all the trees would be affected. But. MT. Moss said. there had to be very large proportion of
 dead trees to make it advisable to cut off the wood on that account He de- scribed how the blight attacks the soft inner bark of the tree by getting in through wounds made in the outer
 bark. There is not much of it in this part of the state. The timber is good for two or three years after the tree dies. He said one mill man in the state will not touch a piece of woods l unless he can double his money on it,
 while 20 per cent. profit Is the least any of them will consider.
 He spoke of the fire wardens who ] keep a watch for fires and said that there are not so many woods fires as 1 formerly
 i Regarding the matter of taxes, he 1 said that the last legislature passed a new tax law by which the owners of | woodland may have their land listed l as such and the assessors are to list if | at its true and actual value and there | Is to be no tax for 50 years, but a | stumpage tax of 10 per cent. is paid ] at the time /of cutting. This law. he | said. was intended to aid in forest 1 plantation, and it seemed to be doing ' it.
 1 The grange gave Mir. Moss a vote ! of thanks for his talk and afterwards i the members were tested as to their ] knowledge of trees by having a guess ! ing contest in which there were 3s specimens of the better known trees | shown.
 i In the business part of the meeting ! one new application was voted upor l and 1t was announced that the next
 meeting of the grange would be Coun- ' ty Improvement League night and thai County Agent Murray D. Lincoln would be the speaker and that there would be musical programme.

the employ of said Mrs. Hibbs, the na-I ture of the injury, being a rupture which injury incapacitated him from his regular occupation. In the evf-5 dence' submitted he maintains that the injury arose out of and in the course of his employment while lifting grain in a barn on the premises of said Mrs. Hibbs at East Lyme on the day in which he strained himself.
 The only witness which the claim ant produced was his brother, James Davy, and the only testimony which said brother, James, could introduce was that his brother Earle had told him some days after the injury oc- cured as was asserted by the claimant.
 It was stated by the claimant, Earle Davy, that the injury occurred on the Fist of March. 1914, and he continued in the employ of the respondent until about the 2nd of April, of the same year, for which services he was to re- ceive at the rate of $35 a month. and an allowance variously estimated from four to eight or nine dollars per month for provisions.
 During this time the claimant made no complaint to the respondent of having received an injury on the date stated neither did he state the fact to any of the employees of the respon- dent who were working with him
 In fact. Mrs. Hibbs in her testimony, stated that when grain was being put into her barn on March 30th, subse- quent to the time claimant states he was injured. she had said to the claimant. Earle Davy, Isn't it pretty heavy Hfting?" and Davy replied, "No. I have worked on an ice wagon for three years and have lifted half a ton," to which statements Davy agreed as recollecting the conversation.
 The claimant states that he had read the compensation law and was familiar with it, but still no notice was given to the employer by him of such an injury as he claims to have re- ceived until about May 4th, or about seven weeks after the alleged acci- dent. and then tn notice was sent to her by registered mail at time when he was still in the hospital where he had been for a few days.
