Natchaug gl hdd its regular meetrln‘ last Friday MWIO’;" ltmh lec- turer’s programme o with a pa- g wuu Products ow to Uu nxe of the Farm, by M L. A. Demming, and a violin solo, by Fannie The lecturer then mtroflnmwn Forest Fire Warden Austin Hawes, who spoke on forestry. Connecticut is the most favorable state in the United States for forestry on account of near markets for lumber. Thie state used 23 billion feet,of lwnber the past year and has raised only about seven billion feet, showing that there is three times 4s much used as is grown each year. The average is about one-half cord of wood to the acre in Connecticut at lhe rnem. time. With forestry meth- it could be easily doubled. .. Fbre-try will increase yearly if the people are given protection from nre to their forests. At the present time there are forest fire wardens in all but two or three towns in the state. The past year there were 300 fires. burn- ing over nearly 18,000 acres. The cost of putting out the fires was $37. The railroads in the state were re- ugomilflo for one-half of the fires In the past year. At present the state has three for- ests, one in Unign of 300 acres, one in Portland of 1,000 acres, and one in Simsbury of 126 aéres. “The trees best adapted for forest planting are the chestnut, white, scotch and red pines, white ash and oak. The white pine is the most profitable on acoount of its fast growth. In the past year there were nearly 50,000 trees planted. The state has a nursery; by this means the trees can be secured much cheaper ‘than from the nurserymen. The trees can be bought from the state nursery for about $4 a thousand, this belng very reasonable. The first planting of = trees there should be about 1,500 to the acre, or otherwise five feet apart each way. On good lnndrfour m;n ean set out on dt-hn average four thousand trees a day. Forestry is carried on flcut or anywhere in the United oub-mh ‘McQuade recited The Old Village Choir, and a talk on The New Invanllon of Making Paper Out of Corn Stalks, by O.
