on whether the land is incapable o.

From the foregoing figures there can
be no question that the annual re

greater than those from timber land

This statement from a government

to cultivate, such as quilted or very
rocky land, swamps, steep slopes,
and barren soils Unused cbrners
and small uncultlvated spots about
the farm are good places for rapid

economic reason for timber growing
on the farm is tc get profit from
those portions which would other
wise be unproductive.
Refcrestration Practicable Only In

Though the land on which the
farm forest is situated may nat be a
