VALUE OF WOOD.LOT TIMBER
Farmer Should Familiarize Himself
With Products-Big Losses Can
Be Prevented.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Lack of familiarity with the business
OF timber selling usually puts the own
e. of small woodland at disadvan-
tage, and In many regions material
from the wood lot is sold considerably
less than it's real value. The loss to
the farmers Is, In the aggregate, very
large. In order to stop this loss, 1t is
necessary that the farmer informs him
self about the different kinds of grades
of wood-lot products, the methods of
estimating and measuring them and as
certaining their value, the methods of
selling. the markets, and the current
market prices, Especially does he
need reliable information about the
amount and real value of his standing
timber and the location of good mar
kets. Farmers Bulletin rs, which
may be had free, contains detailed in
formation on these points.

BEST TIME TO PRUNE
TRANSPLANTED TREES
Early Spring Has Been Most
Generally Recommended.
Fear Has Been Expressed That
Branches Cut Back in Fall VIII
Not Dry Out suffioientIy-Re-
suits Of Missouri Station.

The time to prune transplanted
trees. and young trees not to be trans
planted, has been much discussed.
Early spring has been most generally
recommended. II is the usual custom
to prune back the branches of young
trees when they are transplanted.
Some writers have recommended de-
laying pruning back fall transplanted
trees until spring. The precaution Of
ten urged against cutting back the
branches I'm the fall is that the tree
loses too much moisture through tho
cut surfaces of the twigs. Fear has
been expressed that the cut-back
branches will dry out sufficiently to-
kill back badly during winter. The
question naturally arises as to whether
more water will be lost through the
wounds of the cut twigs than would
be transplred from the branches were
they left intact.
In order to answer this question for
Missouri conditions. which are more
or less typical of the central states.
general observations have been made
on young trees pruned at different sea-
sons at the University Of Missouri
| College of Agriculture In the last
twenty years. The results uniformly
indicate that better growth results II
the branches are cut back in the fall.
This holds true for young trees gener-
ally, whether they are transplanted in
the fall or spring or are not trans
! planted.
The same observations are true OF
grapes. A skillful grape propagation
and grower of Hermann, Mo. has found
that grapes make better growth II
pruned back In the fall. This grower
sets his cuttings in autumn as soon
as the vines shed their leaves and

That the water content of young
apple trees is not greatly affected by
fall pruning was established by ex
periments in 1900 and 1901 at the Uni
versity of Missouri Little difference
in water content was found between
apple trees transplanted In lnte fall
and those which were not transplanted
Also, the trees whose branches were
pruned back In late autumn contained
on the average, slightly more water
than those which retained their
branches. While this difference is not
great 1t at least indicates that the
pruned branches did not suffer from
drying out through the wounds, but
that on the contrary the pruned trees
dried out slightly less than those
which were not pruned.

Terracing Is Effective.
One of the most effective methods
Of preventing erosion on sloplng cul-

A considerable amount of grain in
the field is lost each year by fires
which reach the stocks through dry
stubble or through lightning. Fire
protection demands that large mum.
