Forest Profits
in Short Period
Not Necessary to Wait Life
time to Realize Returns
From Trees.

Contrary to the current belief n
does not have to wait a lifetime to
realize returns from forest planta-
lions.
In fact, continues T.. L. Scovell,
specialist in farm forestry at Rutgers
university, trees established on idle
lands next spring will yield the owner
a very substantial profit in six to ten
years.
lnterplanting Favored.
lnterplanting of pine and Norway
spruce or Douglas fir is the answer
In a plantation of this sort Norway
spruce is planted at intervals of six
feet in rows six feet apart. Pine, pref
erably white or red pine, is then
planted in the alternate intervals. AS
the pine grows much more rapidly
than the spruce during the first few
years, IT is best to postpone the plant
ing of the pine at least two years from
the time the spruce is set. This al
lows the spruce trees sufficient time
to become firmly established and to
assure their not being crowded too
quickly by the pine. When planted at
this spacing, 1900 trees of each spe-
cies are required on an acre.
Under ordinary conditions the
spruce will be suitable for Christmas
trees when six to ten years old. Trees
of this size are now bringing 80 cents
to $1.50 per tree delivered at the mar
ket. If two-thirds $500 of the plant
ed trees reach maturity-the mortality
Is generally much lower-the harvest
ed crop per acre at present market
prices would be worth from $500 to
$1,000 delivered.
Profit From Thinning.
The pine is left to grow to timber
size. When harvested at forty years
of z 1t will yield 10000 to 25,0OO
board feet of lumber per acre, worth
$3.50 to $3.50 at present market prices
standing in the field. In addition it
will yield a small profit when the
first thinning is made, usually fifteen
to twenty-five years after planting,
and substantial returns from thin
nings at regular intervals thereafter.
The total investment, including
taxes and compound interest for n ten
year period, when the Christmas trees
are harvested, will not exceed S35 an
acre. The additional EOS of carry
ing the pine to maturity is practically
negligible.

Winter Green Feed Very
Important for the Hens

If n has cabbages or mangels
stored In a cellar where they may
freeze, 1t often pays to keep a Their
mometer in the cellar and give II ad-
dltional protection. or use a lantern
to bring up the temperature II the
mercury begins TO stand close to 80
degrees. Frozen green feed Is not
good for hens. and constant freezing
and thawing is not good for the keep
ing qualities OF the feed.
Hens do not like rye grain. but they
will eat sprouted rye, and II seems to
be a satisfactory green feed. Sprouted
oats are generally used. II you make
a homemade grain sprouter with
wooden trays, heated with II kerosene
Incubator lamp, be sure the fire risk
Is not greater than the value of the
sprouted oats. In most cases. I think
the metal sprouters are n good in
vestment, because the fire risk is
greatly reduced,
When mangels are sliced and
thrown in the litter, they pick up more
or less dirt and straw. Cutting them
In halves and laying them In wooden
troughs may be a better way. Then
the hens can peck out the succulent
feed more readily than when the
pieces are half-burled In the litter.

Farm Inventory Is Very
Simple Form of Record

IAN inventory can be taken on the
average farm in less than half a day,
and for the time spent II shows the
farmer the most about his business of
any records he can keep" This state
ment is made by Prof. V. b. Hart Of
the farm management department at
the New York State College of Agrl.
culture.
"a farm inventory is the simplest
form of farm financial record that
car be kept" he says. THE inventory
shows the farmer his net worth above
debts, and a comparison of two sue
cessive annual inventories will show
him whether he got ahead during the
year. This is the first step TO take in
putting a farm on a good business
basis, and from such an inventory a
credit statement can be made to be
filed with the bank where the farmer
does business.
ANY farmer borrowing money from
a bank should file a credit statement
with his bank once a year. The bank
er is a custodian of the funds of his
depositors and should not make loans
to any but responsible persons. He
is entitled to and should have the in.
formation which a credit statement
gives and this statement also generally
gives n farmer a better credit stand.
Ing at the bank"
The state college at Ithaca has
copies OF a form for taking an inven.
tory. with spaces provided for all
the items. 1t also contains complete
directions for taking the inventory
and for making a credit statement,
with blanks for two such statements.
This can be had free from the college

Railroad Safety

Railroad travelling is now safer than
walking. AS a result Of safety cam
paigns conducted by the railroads,
grade crossing accidents decreased 10
per cent in 1924 as compared with the
yearly average for the years of 1921
to 1923. Grade crossing accidents
constitute IN of the most serious
safety problems confronting the rail
roads. Passengers on railway trains
numbered 931,OO0,O0O persons in 1924.
with only $40 fatalities. The number
injured was 10 per cent less than
the average for the previous four
years and the smallest since 1901.
Despite the fact hat the greatest
traffic on record was handled in 1924,
there was a decrease in the number
OF fatal accidents to employees, fewer
losing their lives than during any one
year since records We're started in

are used in this. way in 10 central

possible to employ the thousands of

Early Seeded Oats
Give Larger Yields
Seventeen Test Made by
Nebraska Station.

While there is such a thing as
seeding oats too early in the spring,
there is no doubt but many farmers
are inclined to defer seeding more
than seems advisable. Oats are a cool
weather plant, and for that reason the
more its growing period can he
stretched while the weather is cool the
larger will be the yield. The Nebraska
experiment station has accumulated
some valuable data on this subject in
recent years that should be generally
known.
In a seven-year test, for example,
oats seeded on March 81 averaged IS
bushels per acre those seeded April
u, 40 bushels and those seeded April
20, 3S bushels. AT the North Platte
(Neb.l experiment station in a l4-year
test, oats seeded April 8 yielded IS
bushels per acre; those seeded April
is. 20 bushels, and those seeded April
20, p bushels.
Average yields of n given crop for
periods of seven TO fourteen years are
pretty reliable and the figures pre-
scented above certainly point to early
seeding as being very desirable for
oats. What may be said about oats
in this respect applies equally to bar
ley and spring wheat. 1t is impor-
tant, therefore, TO have the ground in
tended for oats or other small grains
In shape to rush seeding operations as
much as possible after the season for
spring work opens.

.MERRILL'S SCHOOL HAS
SUCCESSFUL ASSOCIATION
Parent Teacher Organization Do
ing Good Work For School.
Xmas Program Prepared.

AS an echo of the Democrats edi-
torial last week, information was
brought to this office this week, rela-
tive to the good work being done by
the Parent-Teacher Association at
Merrill's school.
The old orgaization of 1886 was
quickly reorgapized when school o.
pened this fall, and, at present the
Association has about 35 members,
with w. c. Wilson as president; VIM.
Howard, vice-president; and Miss
Mary Bounds, teacher, as secretary
and treasurer, and also chairman of
the Program committee.
At the regular meeting, which will
be held on December %, the children
have prepared a Christmas program,
and music will also be furnished by
the Pusey cousins. Considerable
pains have been taken to make this a
most interesting occasion and patrons
and any other visitors are urged to
lend the encouragement of their
presence.
The Association amongst many 9TH
er material aids has donated to the
school flag and pole, and furnished
the school house with curtains. An
unusual degree of interest is mani
tested and the workings of the Asso-
citation might be taken as a model
for other and larger institutions. The
trustees of the school are, Samuel
Churn, F. w. White, and w. Martin.
