The wood lot is an integral part of the farm and an essen tial factor in its success. Forest planting is that part of forestry which seeks to restock and per petuate desirable timber and to estab lish new forests on treeless areas. Plantation of Hardy Cataipa, Reno County. Kansas. where they are n“eded for protective ! or other purpose? Forest planting should not be confused with tree plant ing or arborcultcre. for these terms cover only the planting and care of A 27-Year-Old European Larch Plan tation, Dundee County, III. trees chiefly for ornamental purposes, while forest planting indicates the llanting of trees in stands of consider able sire, in whi< h forest conditions are sought. In the farming districts of the east where almost every farmer has pre served a small bit of the original for est. which he calls his woodlot. there is verj general lack of appreciation of . the necessity for utilizing these wood lots to the best advantage, and of the methods by which this may be accom plished. Much may be done by man agement which consists largely in careful cutting that will keep the for j < st cover intact and in removing dead any dying and inferior trees Planting, however, is very generally needed in order to hasten the restocking of wood lots with valuable species. One of the fundamental principles of for estry is that the trees in a stand must be sufficiently close together to be mutually helpful; that is. that their crowns must form a continuous cover to shade the ground and the tree trunks, in order that 6ide branches1 may be seif-pruned and the trees be forced into straight upward growth : Where there are open spaces they should be planted and where it is de sirable to cut a portion of a woodlot clean much time can be saved bv planting instead of waiting for natural reproduction. On many farms the tract now occupied by the woodlot would be more valuable for crops, while on the same farm there may be' an irregular plat of land or a piece of worn-out or rocky land upon which it would be wise to plant trees Plant-! ing Is also valuable to check erosion, or Boil w ashing. The loads which offer opportunities ' for planting may be classified into (1) ; cut-over burned lands not fitted for agriculture, which are not restocking : naturally with commercially valuable species; (2) forest lands originally cleared for agriculture which have since proven unsuitable for this pur pose; and (3) farm woodlots. The abandoned farms of southern New England are striking examples of the second class, as are also the lands in i the southern Appalachians, once ! cleared for fanning but now ruined by j erosion. ihe area of plantation already made in the eastern region is nearly 93.000 acres, and S5.000 acres of this • are about equally divided between the northern tier of states and the central hardwood region Forest planting requires a consider able initial investment, and the cost is relatively higher than that requtred to ; start any other form of forest work Therefore protection of the investment is of the utmost importance, sad Sire . is the source of loss most to be guard ed against. Other things that mast be j taken into consideration are cheap ; land, a good market, a minimum initial cost, and a low rate of taxation. In the Lake States, which have a southern hardwood forest and a north- j err coniferous forest, forest planting is rapidly increasing- The principal species which have been planted are white pine. Scotch pine. Norway pine. European larch, and. to some extent, j the more rapid growing hardwoods. ! such as locust, catalpa. black walnut. ] cottonwood, ash and elm. As in the ! east, woodlots are deteriorating and require interplaating. Excellent trees i Red Pine Plantation, 33 Years Old. Rhode Island. for this purpose are the white pii-.e. the Scotch and Austrian pines, and the Norway spruce. Except for the early planting in New England, the farmers of Ohio and Indiana have been the first to recognize the value and Importance of forest planting. In these two states and generally throughout the central valley district, the practice has been to plant rapid-growing kinds. For ex ample. in West Virginia and south western Pennsylvania, walnut, locust sugar maple, red oak. chestnut, and catalpa, have been planted for posts, mine props and timber: in Ohio, black locust and catalpa for pests; in Indi ana. black locust, catalpa. and wal nut; in Kentucky, black locust, ca talpa. tulip poplar, maple, and wal- j nut principally for mining timbers and posts; in Tennessee, locust, maple and cedar; in Missouri, eatalpa. locust, walnut, osage orange, cottonwood; in Arkansas, locust and walnut. In the central section forest plant ing has been a part of the progress in agriculture and therefore has been quite extensive in the region of best agricultural development. Nebraska and Kansas lead in the acreage of plantations. About S40.000 acres have been planted within the central region Shelterbelts are increasing in the newer farming districts of the Dako tas and Oklahoma, and much interest is being shown in forest planting throughout the central section of the United States In the western region and the Pa cific <ioast states much of the forest land is within National Forests, and forest planting on these lands is chief ly a federal problem. But there are abundant opportunities for private planting in the valleys of southern California and on irrigated lands throughout the region. It is absolutely essential that the people of each state and particularly farm owners, should realize the im mense importance of individual effort in providing for a future timber sup ply. The quantity of land that can be restored tc value through forest plant ing by the federal government or by the states is in the aggregate small and comparatively insignificant as compared to the great area that must Interior of a 5G-Year-Old White Pine Plantation, near Bridgewater. Mass. be forested eventually by private land owners. among whom the farmer stands first and foremost. MIGHTY RIVER IS THE YUKOK Body of Water, at Place* Sixty Mile* Wide, I* the Hope of the Ter ritory of Alaska. Dismiss from your mind anv notion that the Yukon river is a puny stream fed by eternal glaciers and trickling away to the sea. It is a river, so mighty that it can spread out over a width of 60 miles on the Yukon fats I and still have depth enough in the main channel to Coat heavily Is den freight steamers From its month j (near St. Michael) at the Behring sea ! it is navigable all the way to White ; Horse, in the Yukon territory of Can ada, an unhroken stretch of over 1.100 miles—two-thirds of the distance from New York to San Francisco. Add to ; this the navigable water of its tribu taries—370 miles on the Innoko riTer. ! 320 on the Iditarod. 620 on the Koyo kuk. and 392 on the Tan ana—and you will begin to have a fair idea of what a big river we have in our great em : plre beneath the northern lights. 1 The valley drained by this wonder fui river system of the north is the hope of Alaska. The wealth of the past and of today has come from mines and fisheries; and the lifetime of all mining regions is briefer even than human life. It has been only a few years, yon remember, since the Klondike was the most active mining camp in the world; today it is a val ley long since deserted by the indi vidual miner and turned over to two big dredging companies, which work the lew-grade tailings.—Leslie's.

Ninety per cent of the wheat cp to Oct 1st graded Xo. 1. the only No. 2 being fall wheat The yield ranged from 20 to 40 bushels per acre, with an average of 2$. Oats yielded well, and barley about 60 bushels. Inverary is a new district in Alber ta. Here wheat graded Xo. 2 and some of it went 50 bushels to the acre, oats going about 75 bushels. Lethbridge correspondent says: “In the Monarch district the yield on sum mer fallow is averaging thirty-five bushels, a large percentage No. 1 northern.” "AH spring grains are yielding bet ter than expected in the Milk river district, south. A 300 acre field of Marquis wheat gave 414 bushels. “Experimental farm results on grain sown on irrigated land place ‘Red Fife' wheat in the banner position, with a yield of 59.40 bushels per acre. Oats yielded 132 bushels to the acre. "John Turner of Lethbridge grew barley that went 60 bushels to the acre. “Red Fife averages in weight from 60 to 6S pounds, and at Rosthem the Marquis wheat will run as high as 64 pounds to the bushel, while a sample of Marquis wheat at Areola weighed no less than 68 pounds to the bushel. This variety is grading No. 1 hard" Calgary. Alta., Oct. 8—The prob lem of handling Alberta's big grain crop is becoming a serious one. and there is a congestion at many points in southern Alberta. One thousand cars could be used immediately. The C. P. R. prepared for a normal year, while the yield of grain was every where abnormal, with an increased acreage of about 23 per cent. Moose Jaw, Sash., returns show eocie remarkable yields. Bassano. Alta.. Sept. 25, '13.—Indi vidual record crops grown in Alberta include 1,300 acre field of spring wheat grown near Bassano which went thir ty-five bushels to the acre and weigh ed sixty-six pounds to the bushel. Noble, Alta., Oct 1. '13.—All records for the largest shipment of grain by one farmer will be broken this year if the estimate of C. S Noble of Noble. Alberta, proves correct. Mr. Noble has notified the Canadian Pacific Rail way here that he will have 350.000 bushels of grain, chiefly barley and oats, ready for shipment verv short ly. L.
