' Com- do|pared with chestnut, most other hLard their second growth is valuable mainly for cordwood. “The big' demand 'is for saw timber. Bven if the present hardwood stands would produce it (as most of them wit not), at least 100 years would be re- quired, according to the forestry depart- ment of the Connecticut —Agricultural Experimént Station at New Haven. By that time, if accurate account of costs and interest had been kept, the owners would find that they had played a. los- ing game.. . There is, however, a solutlon of the problem. Why not convert the present slow growing sprout hardwood stands in- to stands of faster growing coniferous or softwood species by planting? There are at least half a dozen conifers, pines, spruces and larch, that do well in Con- necticut. Planted coniferous stands may \be expected to yield saw timber in 50 years and at the same time pay interest on the investment comparable to that trom other forms of business. The length of time required to grow a timber crop should not be a deterrent. If bearing a promising crop of timber, land always has greater sale value than sprout hardwood land. On the. ather hand, if the owner passes his property on as a heritage to his children the lat- ter will reap the benefits of his fore- sight. Bvery owner of brush land and forest land that has been cut over ‘récently should plant such land to better species, for by so doing he enhances its value for himself, he leaves something of value for those who follow him and he helps to supply the future needs of the public for saw timber. If advice is needed, the state forester, at New Haven, may be consulted. BOYS SHEAR SHEEP.
