Now there is an old story that has been told and
retold to the effect that nature has sackenedon her
JOB OF forest reproduction and that new theories
must be experimental with if there is to be sufficient
soft woods to maintain in state of healthy compe-

ture Of pulp and paper. The following letter from
MIR. F. A. Gilbert is of interest and would seem to
disprove this contention.

Bangor Maine, Nov. g. 1924.
The timber of the State of Maine is approximately
100000 Hon. F. H. Colby in 1919 estimated upon
this number of acres the amount Of soft aUoods
34,192,5000Oo FBM. Within short period 4s townships
explored by State officials amounting 1117797 acres
gives estimated stand of soft acoods at 1888 900
FBM of 263o FBM reduced to cords
at cords thousand equals 526 cords per acre. These
figures seem to bear ont Mr.. Colby's estimate
The annual growth of spruce and fir in accordance avh
some of best foresters is &c per cent per annux
Reconed at cent acch gerry conservative because
pe cedar and helock much faster than spruce and
r makes an annual production of 1367,7Oo Cords an
amount much greater than consumption

Ph'ladelphaa has been made lumber port and large

4:45 o'clock. The afternoon trains
tor commuters arrive at the Har
Dor station at Waterbury at 6:45
and 7:45 o'clock.
Last week anew motor bus line
was started between Washington

motor bus interests are awake to
the growing Importance of that

Opening OF the new Defense high

I'VE haye succeeded in eliminat-
