WOOD LOT IMPROVEMENT
Fuel and Fertilizer Go Hand in Hand.

| bulletin U. S. Department of Agriculture
| Every farmer needs fuel; every farm
er needs fertilizer; and every farm woOC
lot needs improvement. Why not xii
all three birds with one stone? BY judlcl
ously planned Trimmings the condition OF
, the wood lot can be greatly improved
the material removed in the Trimmings
can be burned as tirewood; and the wood
ashes left are so rich in potash tss to make
a valuable fertilizer.
The wood lot is, perhaps, the only farm
crop to which the farmer has not consid-
cred it necessary to devote any care. His
grains are sowed on carefully prepared
soil; his vegetables are cultivated, and
his fruit trees are pruned and sprayed;
his forest trees alone are left to look out
for themselves. This is the more re-
markable when it is taken into consider
alton that any labor expended on the
wood lot not only improves the final crop,
but ordinarily pays for itself as well. No
detailed technical knowledge is required
for the " ork, all that is necessary is the
exercise Of common sense.
1t is obvious that the trees in any wood
lot are not all Of equal value. Some are
taller, straighter, thriftier, and of species
which yield more valuable wood than
others 1t is also obvious that there is a
constant struggle going on between the
trees for light and growing space. The
object of thinning is simply to give the
best trees the advantage in this struggle
by removing the poorer ones which in
terfere with their development.
First of all defective trees should be
removed. This includes trees attacked
by insects or fungi (conks), trees with
e-scarred butts, with tops broken Oft
by wind Or lightning, and in general all
trees which are unthrifty from any cause.
Next comes the trees of poor form.
such as very crooked or very branchy
ones, which are interfering with the
growth of better formed neighbors. And
finally, are the trees of less valuable
species, such as lockwood, ironwood, and
hornbeam. These not only take up space
that might better be occupied by such
species as oak, hickory and ash, but also,
as a rule, produce seed more abundantly
and so reproduce themselves at the ex-
pense of more desirable trees.
While the wood removed in these thin
nings is frequently of no value for other
purposes, it can practically always be
used to advantage for fuel. In this way
the work can be made to pay for itself.
particularly when the future use of wood
ashes for fertilizer is borne in mind. The
essential point to remember in making
such Trimmings is that the wood lot is tree
society, in which the best trees should be
given every chance to attain the greatest
possible development by the removal and
utilization of the unfit

Aroostook Potatoes.

Very few potatoes indeed are coming
into the Fort Fairfield market nowadays,
although there is a very slight movement
in seed stock. Cobblers bring 80 to IS
cents barrel, while Mountains are able
to get only rs to 80 cents. There is a
general feeling that in few weeks the
market will clear up, so that for the
most of the season the price will range
somewhere between $1.00 and $3.50.
This price, although much lower than
Aroostook would like to see, is enough,
with Aroostook 8 big crop of fine stock,
to make the county sound and all right
this season. if not indeed very flush.-

Belfast, on FEBRUARY IA, 1909. lie In
herited scholarly tastes and naturally in
clined toward a collegiate education,
graduating from Bowdoin College, which
was also his fathers alma mater, in the
class of 1858. In college he was what
might be termed an all-round student,
entering heartily into the athletic sports
while maintaining high rank in his stu
dies, especially in mathematics, in which
he won a much-coveted prize. In fact,
he combined social popularity, athletic
skill and high scholarship. He inherited
also love for the legal profession, as his
father was well known lawyer and en-
joyed large and varied practice, and it
was therefore natural that after gradu-
alton he should turn to the study of law.
He prepared himself at Boston Univer-
sity, was admitted to the bar in Waldo
county in 1891. coming to Augusta in
1893, and forming partnership with
Williamson & Burleigh. For the 81
Williamson was engaged in an extensive

court.

in both personal and professional way
have clearly and discriminatory drawn
his picture. Little can be added. Were
l to summarize should say: That in his
personal and social relations Brother
Williamson was a charming companion.
He was jovial and sunny, running over
with good humor, and always seeing the
human side of things. He was gladly
welcomed in every gathering, and at our
Bar picnics his was conspicuous figure.
He radiated good cheer, because be was
