prepared by the United States Depart

Perhaps the cheapest and frequent
ly the best way to start forest plan
tatlOn is to collect seed from hard
wood trees and grow seedlings, say
forest specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture in Farm
ers' Bulletin 1923, Growing and Plant
ing Hardwood Seedlings on the Farm,
just published by the department. The
collected seed, says the bulletin, will
be fresh and the seedlings grown
from it should be thoroughly accli-
mated so far as climate is concerned.
Should Be Collected in Autumn.
Seed should not be collected before
they are ripe, and this means for most
kinds of seed that the work should be
done during autumn, usually after
frost. Collecting may be extended
into the winter for such species as
ash, catalpa, honey locust, sycamore
and others which retain the seed on
the trees until that time. A few varie-
ties of seed, such as elm, silver maple,
red maple, willow and poplar ripen
during the spring and summer and
should be gathered promptly before
they are scattered.
Middle-aged trees growing in the
open, where they have been permitted
70 develop broad, spreading crowns,
ordinarily produce seed in greater
abundance than trees growing in a
dense forest. The fruit of some hard
wood trees requires special treatment
to separate the seed from the fleshy
covering, pod or hull before they are
planted.
The best time to sow seed, either In
the nursery or in the permanent plant
Ing site, is soon after it is ripe, but
when this Is not possible the seed
must be stored until spring. If this
is done, the seed must not be allowed
to dry out excessively, because this
impairs its power to terminate. Seed
should be stored In a cold place,
Loamy Soil Preferable.
When the seed are to be planted
good, well-dr;sned, preferably loamy
soil should be selected. Proximity to
the farm dwelling is desirable, be-
cause rodents are less likely TO be
abundant there. Preparation Of the
seed bed should be similar to that Of
getting the soil ready for vegetable
crop. Except on commercial plant
ings, where the seed are sometimes
sown broadcast, 1t is best to plant
with a drill In rows sufficiently far

ment or Agriculture)
Wage rates for farm labor reached
their highest point in the history of
this country In 1920 as national aver
ages. AS ascertained by the bureau
of crop estimates, United States De
partment of Agriculture, the average
wage rate for labor hired by the month
was $46.S9 with board, and $64.95
without board for day labor at har-
vest, $3.50 with board, and $4.36
without board.
War conditions greatly accelerated
an upward movement Of farm-wage
rates that began after 1895. The rate
of that year for hirings by the month
without board was $17.69 as an aver
age for the United States, and no 9TH
er year In the record of the bureau
extending back to 1866 had low
er rate, except 1879 with $16.42.
BY 1902, this wage rate had in
creased to S2214, by 1914 to $296S,
followed by S30.15 in 1915, with no evil
dence of war effect. This effect ap-
peared, perhaps, as small beginning

rate was 1888, when followed rapid
rise to $40.43 in 1917, to $1707 in 1918.
to $500 In 1919, and to $64.95 in
1920.
The rate of gain over 1895 was 20
per cent in 1915 and 267 per cent in
1920, so that the gain of 20 per cent
in 20 years, from 1895 to 1915, was
followed by a gain OF 1877 per cent in
five years, from 1916 to 1920, or near
ly three times as much in quarter as
many years.
From 1915 to 1920, farm labor work
ing by the month without board re-
ceived a gain in wage rate as high as
115 per cent This was one of the
causes Of the greatly increased cost of
producing things on the farm, which

apart to permit horse cultivation.
With small or thin seed, such as that
of birch, elm or sycamore, best re-
suits will be obtained by sowing
broadcast rather thickly over the
beds, pressing the seed into the loose
soil with a board and covering 1t very
lightly with soil and light mulch of
leaves or straw. When the seedlings
are ten or more inches in height they
are large enough to be transplanted to
the field. Most of them reach this
size in one growing season. In dig
ging them care should be taken to in
jure the roots as little as possible.
Injured portions of the roots should
be cut off with a sharp knife. The
seedlings should net be dug until the
time for planting them In their per

Fruit trees that have borne during
the last year should be gone over. and
all mummifed fruits removed and
