CORK FORESTS.
Money Making Trees That Grow In the
Poorest Kind of Soil,

FOOTSSt Nina OF DOLL
The cork oak is kind of jack at all
trades among trees, and its service in
dicateS well the kind of new freedom
that trees may give us by their new
helpfulness if we will just give them
Il chance. If the garden of Eden story
had been written in Spain or Portugal
think the fortunate couple would
have been placed in possession Of a
cork forest. If Il man in either OF
these countries has a forest Of good
cork trees you will find him in Madrid,
Lisbon or Paris. His cork forest works
for him, and he stays in town.
Cork trees grow on the rockiest and
poorest land. The poorer the land the
finer the quality of the cork. Every
eight or ten years the outer bark Is
stripped from the trees to furnish the
ever more highly priced cork Of COM
merce. BY dividing the land up into
blocks this decennial harvest will pro-
duce a fairly regular income.
These same oak trees produce acOrns,
often heavily, which are sold to some
farmer, who drives his herds Of lean
hogs into the forest. where they har-
vest the acorns and turn them into
salable meat. A Portuguese hog is ex-
pected to gain two pounds day for
ninety days when acorns are ripe.
More than this. there is beneath the
oak trees some heritage fit for goats to
eat Thus the cork forest owner in Lis
bon gets income from three cOntrac-
tors-the cork stripper. the pork raiser
and the goat raiser. And with care
the forest lasts forever. The individual
cork tree is good for hundred years
or more. after which 1t is fine big
salable tree. with enough young ones
near it to take its place when it Is
gone to market In Portugal cork
tree. ready for its third stripping, is
considered worth $50. When in full
bearing an acre Of these oaks will
yield from one to three tons Of cork
at stripping. now worth about $40
q ton to the grower. Most Of this is
profit The pork is profit 1t is the
common rule that the income from
the pasture pays the small cost Of
caring for the forest.-J. Russell Smith

PLAN OYSTER EXHIBIT.
Local Growers to Have Big Display
at Seattle Meeting Next Week.

One of the features of pure food
show and homekeepers' convention in
Seattle next week will be an attract
i've exhibit of the Olympia oyster by
the recently formed Olympia-Oyster
Growers association, as one Of the
first ventures undertaken by 1t to
stimulate still further the popularity
of this famous local product.
Talks on the Olympia oyster, it's
habits, methods of propagation, care
and handling will be made by Profess
sor Trevor Kincaid, miniature beds
which show the bivalve in his native
element will occupy a portion of the
exhibit, while oysters will be served
to visitors in various styles. The az
hibit has been heralded by the pro-
moters of the homekeeprs' conven-
ton as one of it's most interesting
features.

WESTERN PROGRESS OF
PROSPERITY IS NOTED
Larger Telegraph Business One Indi-
catiOn-Bank Clearings Increase
in % Cities.

A very certain prophecy of the
westward trend of prosperity, which
is already visiting in the East and
Middle West is contained in the state
ment of high official OF the largest
telegraph company In America. who
visited Seattle this week and an
nouced that the telegraph business
of Western Washington increased 20
per cent for October over the previ-
GUS year, while in the Spokane dis
trict the increase was "a per cent,
and Oregon's increase proportionate.
He declared that this awakening of
wire business is positive sign that
business is looking up. Inquiries and
orders to sawmills, purchase orders
and inquiries covering crops, and
merchants orders for goods, comprise
much of the new wire business. The
telegraph man is not alone in re-
porting the business revival in the
East and Middle West, with factories
running full time, and the biggest
crops ever recorded being distributed
at good prices, for Bradstreet's re-
port of bank clearings In 20 of the
principal cities of the country last
week showed gains of from per
cent to as high as lis per cent over
the same week of 1914, each city re-
porting an increase.
The nations first billion bushel
wheat crop, the record oat crop, and
a corn crop unequaled since the big
year in 1912, are contributing causes
to the awakening of trade, War or
ders for Eastern factories are also a
factor. This increase of business in
the East has naturally awakened
new demand for the products of the
West. The Pacific Northwest has been
about the last portion of the country
to feel the newly stirring pulse of
business. but the general opinion
seems to be that better business con-
ditions will be noted in this section
soon.
