THE EAGLE OIL co.

So favorable are the reports of geol-
ogists regarding the property of the
Eagle Oil Company that the big
moneyed producers are purchasing
every property adjacent to these hold
ings. The treasury stock of this com
pany is going at 8 cents and within a
very short time will have increased.
1t is wisdom, therefore, to call at the
oil company's office, 215-216 Ideal
building, meet the president and busi-
ness manager and get definite infor-
nation on the investment, which is on
sound basis. The development is
exceeding expectations and the pur-
chase of stock now will be greatly ad-

terms this poetic effusion 'An indict-

tural progress, devotion to the real

Growth of Trees.

The rate of growth of trees in wood
lots and in plantations in central New
York is being studied at the New York
State College of Forestry. Soil and
climatic conditions in central New
York are unexcelled for maintenance
and rapid forest growth. The so-called
virgin forests of the Adirondacks are
growing Mt the rate of about 200 board
feet an acre year. Properly man.
aged forests of southwestern Germany
are growing at the rate of from 1000
to 1000 board feet an acre a year.
Reasonable use of farm wood lots and
the planting of the right kinds of for
est trees on forest coils means the pro-
duction of excellent crops of timber,
and that within comparatively short
period of time.
