e NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1918 THE CULTIVATION OF TREES A PAYING INDUSTRY (Written Specially For The Bulletin.) In front of my northern neighbor's house stands a row of old maples— big-headed trees casting a Wwelcome summer shade over his trim lawn and, half the day when the sun is west- ering, turning it also across the dusty road for the cooling of passers-by. When I was a swall boy, sixty years ago, these trees were already Dbig enough to tap in the sugar season, and 1 remember that my first taste of ma- ple sap came from a pan under one of them. My father told me they had been set by Thomas Bowman, but he didn't specify when, so that I have no certain means of estimating their age. They must be well on towards their century. I never saw Thomas Bowman. He has been dead long, long vears. But the trees he planted are not only sturdlly outliving him, they are keep- ng his memory green before the eyes of his descendants to the third and fourth generation; they are mnobler monuments than could ever have been carved from granite or marble; they are continuing to serve the comfort and gladden the eyes of strangers as well as heirs and neighbors; they, more than any other means, have urnec wnat would have been just a house on a lot into a charming home in an ideally shaded and protected lawn, When he laboriously transplanted those maple saplings from the forest into his roadside border, did Thomas Bowman realized what a legacy of use- fulness and comfort and beauty he was preparing for those of his blood who should comec after? : If his consciousness ill endures in some dim zone of the mysterious Be- vond, does he now appreciate the gratitude in which his memory is held by those who gather, during summer heat-tides, und e’ cooling shadows his forethou provided—a gratitude none the less real though it may not find outlet i formal ' voicing? cerely se that he does; that he in some way, how great and long-enduring a good he did, ‘way at early year of the 1800s | amped the moist dirt around of his trnsplanted saplings them to stakes so no high blow them out of the ar. e knows how much obliged m. For, though I have no of his trees roundine: Iam to in a wei pass a great rock e whenever I my way to-the vil massed upheaval of. gre lue distance rd from ation and them nd their erv. bastionin ways as I look northw inspi benediction. Thinking of those trees has fa also set m crop. in m ) Nature hes provided u the woodland ready tocked, whi we could rea- sonal sk. But over New Eng- land . there are sca d areas which are worthless for wlands, unpro: itable even for pasture, but perf capable of producing again, as they onecn id, good growths of timber, These area may be on inaccess: ble summits: or on an uncultivatable hillsides; or lands so rocky as to baffie the ploy: or mere nooks and corners off from the rest of the farm by [ of ut road or vely, or ok ; p# patches so worn won't pay for trying to raise farm crops. places why not plant trees? Plan{ them around the home for ni them in such places as these lat- for profit and as a crop? We all have read about various re- forestation projects, and occasionally we hear how the government or some rich land-owner has put thousands of otherwise useless acres into timber- trees. Perhaps some of us have got the idea that only thos=e possessed of limitless resources, like the govern- ment or some muiti-millionaires, can afford to tackle such a job. Statistics. however, ~show that farmers,—plain common farmers like vou and I—are responsible for about nine-tenths of all the forest planta- tions in the United States. It is true that almost nine-tenths of this plant- ing has been on the treeless spaces of Middle West, where farmers were compelled to plant trees for need- ed fuel and timber or for wind-breaks. t those who planted for that pur- pose thi: or forty vears ago, when they took up homes‘eads as young men, are now, as old men, cutting valuable crops of lumber. the It isn't an expensive business, other than for the labor involved, this re- foresting land. In this state, as well as our neighbors of New York, Massa_ chusetts and Vermont, if forest see ngs are not more readily obtai ble from local woods, they are dis tributed by the state itself. I quote from a late report on the subject “The initial cost of establishing a forest plantation is not great, and, ex- cept to keep out fires, the trees do not need attention after the first two or three years. In themselves the trees are a source of protection to the farm buildings near which they are plant- ed; they increase the value of the farm and their products a source of considerable revenue to the owner. It seems certain that in the future many farmers will be forced to raise their own timber for general farm use or elee pay an almost prohibitive price for it. In some sections of the country the price of posts has doubled In the last fifteen vears and may be expected to double again in the next fifteen.” In the New England states there is a well 42fined list of trees whick de Criginal Malied Milk Nourishing Delicious = Digestible The) powder dissclvee! inatur Rich Milk, Malted grain extract in powder.

Among them may be mentioned the white pine, red pine, Norway spruce, hemlock, red, white and black oaks, chestnut, locust, white and black ash, hickory, black cherry, basswood, poplar, etc., all of which are valuable for timber. Some seem to choose one locality, some another. They have their likings in the matter of soil and exposure, as truly as small- er crops. But from the list may al- ways be selected such as will do well in any given neighborhood. Chestnut planting might well be ignored for the presest or until some means has been found to combat the threatening bark disease. Black locust, also, which pro- duces posts of exceptional value, is sadly subject to the attacks of a borer for controlling which no practical means have yet been devised. Hickory and white oak grow so slowly that one generation can seldom expect to see saplings develop into lumber-produc- ing trunks. Butternut makes a fine furniture wood, almost equal to its brother black walnut. Both, however, are rather ‘“‘chancy” trees to start and inclined to grow irregularly in many localities. But white pine, spruce and red oak cessfully grown in plantations in New England. There is nothing experi- mental about them. They have actual- ly been grown and are now growing in artificially reforested patches. All four will make marketable lumber in 25 years, or sometimes les red pine, Norway ave all been suc- This may seem a long time to wait for a crop.

The one is applicable where the plow can be used. The otner calls merely for a spade and consists in “openinz a wedze-shaped iole in the ground by forcing in a | spade and moving it back and forth. The roots of the seedling are then in- serted back of the spade in the hole thus formed, the de withdrawn and the earth pressed firmly around the stock with the foot It is not possible, assertions of va- tree-selling concerns to the con- v notwithstanding, for the average farmer to get profitable returns from tree-planting in any such absurd time as_three or four vears. Reforestation is a long-distance job, It will not do for old men to under- in any expectation of living to reap money benefits from it. Nor is it worth while on lad capable of regular cultivation. FEut for the oncoming seneration, burdened with parcels of land too rough or tpo poor to be work- able in fleld crops, it affords a real chance for investment which will pay big interest to those who can wait for it to mature. - THE FARMER.
