ABANDONED LAND AND FOREST
TREEg

Land, abandoned either through
government crop reduction contracts
or for other reasons, may he made
to show profit through planting
with forest trees, according 10 coun-
ty agent Miller, who points out that
the best time for transplanting
young trees is during the months Of
March, April and May. Young tree
seedlings may be purchased from the
State Forest Nursery, at College
Park, for from two to seven dollars
a thousand, 1t is stated.
Reports compiled by Kenneth ].
Seigworth, forester for the Extern
sion Service, show that the total cost
of planting idle land with young
trees, including transportation and
cost of the trees and labor, will rum
from four to ten dollars an acre.
This will vary, he says, from two
dollars an acre for loblolly pine to
from five or ten dollars an acre for
red and white pine, spruce and To-
Gust. A number of loblolly pine
plantations have been established on
the Eastern Shore and in Southern
Maryland, it is said.
1t is pointed out by county agent
Miller, that, in addition to the in
come which may be derived from the
q .e of cordwood, fuelwood, fine
shavings for bedding, Christmas
trees, fence posts, maple syrup and
timber, there Is the factor of soil

age. Species of tree and section

Sunlight from God and heaven,
That ever in beauty shine.

The songs of redemption and mercy
We all so much love to sing.
Faith, it converses with angels,
And lifts above things Of the

And giveth His children new

And the eye that looks into Gods

Laughs at the seeming impossible

Like people who watch their

not you who are changing. It's
gold, wavering in value because
of uncertain economic conditions.
Every day, the worlds business
waits until each nation informs
world markets how much 1t con-

Everywhere, there's constant talk
of the gold standard and whether
to stay on it or go off it.
