URGES TREE PLANTING.

State Forester F. w. Besley has a
word Of advice for the man who lives
in the country 1t is to plant trees,
and then more trees. Back yard gar
dens are all very we'll to grow the
vegetables that go upon the table, but
they will be of very little good if the
woodshed and coal bin are bare of
.wherewithal to cook them.
In the words of Mr.. Besley, there
are more than 100000 acres of land in
Maryland that have no economic ex-
cuse for their existence. They are alb
solutely nonproductive, so far as any
crop of value goes, and not only are
they valueless themselves, but in the
case of sand plains and marsh areas
the tendency is to seriously encroach
upon the better lands beside them.
There is just one thing that they will
produce nowS with benefit to the com.
.munity and with profit to the owners,
and that is wood"
The Board of Forestry realizes this"
