T * i V 'il'Vi a" 11t ^ .. :t <*. ?,) * ~| PRACTICAL ADVK DIVERS] An Example of Profitable Forestry. an The fact that three-fourths of the thi timber of the United States is In nil private ownership seems to indicate l*11 I conclusively that It is to these Drivate m< owners that we must look for th.e 'e< bulk of the timber supply of the fu- wa ture. Few private owners regard co their holdings as permanent timber . investments even when the land is of th< a character which makes it of little PH or doubtful value for farming. The by general policy is to cut as closely as m( possible to increase the amount of the present profits; to neglect the Pr' protection of the young growth on the cut over land' from fire on ac- du count of its cost: atid then, if possi- co ble, to sell the cut over land if not f?< good farming land, rather than pro- mi tect it and improve it for future cut- rei ting. du That it is possible for private own- Sr ers to manage their timber lands so ?b as to maintain them as permanent tel producing investments is well shown wi by the results which have been ob- aa talned by the University of the South, w' at Sewanee, Tenn. These lands con- Pe sisted of 6600 acres of rough moun- eri - tainland which, in 1900, the universi- ?r S, ty thought of selling for $3000, since it. the tract was not of the best quality, th The trustees' of the university knew pis nothing of the methods of managing be timber lands and were absolutely un- no able to protect the tract from fire, on which was yearly injuring much of an 3 the young timber. At the instance e of a member of the faculty, who was Ju i- an enthusiastic believer in the possi- sa r bilitles of scientific forest manage- 1)3 ment, experts of the Forest Service te> ' examined the tract, and prepared a ,s working plan, marked the trees ta ' which were to be sold and cut, and th those which were to be left, and th t recommended a method of securing su y protection from fire, which always wl threatens to destroy young trees. t.vl ' The system of cutting was to get u rid of all defective trees, and all of j species of low value, cutting at the de _ same time sound trees wherever re- ca e moval would not injure the future ou value of the forest. During the dry s months of the autumn a paid patrol ev s was maintained to prevent the start- el' ing of any fire, or to see it before it be had made headway, and at once ex- Gi tinguish it. Cutting, with these objects in ! view, was begun in 1001, to supply s a small mill, and by October, 1900, sp the tract had been entirely cut over, of n The net profits, after deducting all an expenses of every kind, including fire m: ? protection, exceeded $1S,000, or it. | about six times the accepted value of the property in 1901. The cost of sb fire protection has amounted to more an than $600. All of this amount, ex- or cept $122, was for patrol service, a ha e man being kept constantly on the ye watch during dry and dangerous r weather. He was paid $30 a month, fo: r Extensive fires occurred only during ra ; three years. The cost of extinguish- m; e ing them with hired labor amounted 70 y to $122. The excellent patrol service se | prevented fires getting under fe^ad ^ and beyond control. The logqjng ly ._ i was done by contract, and the con- go | tractors were required to prevent as I fires. There has been only one fir?- dc n | of importance, and that burned only 'to h a small part of the tract. A leaf has ou i, not been burned in eight years on bu i? more than nine-tenths of the tract. Although the tract has been entirely th logged, the conservative cutting as- co cures a second cutting within ten a years, and indefinite future cutting be l1 thereafter at ten-year intervals; and en e the indications are that at each fu- th ?z ture cutting the amount of timber ar a which is cut will increase, and the quality improve. The defective trees sit have been largely removed, as well as bu lj the species of low value. The young sh trees are all sound and thrifty, have th never been scorched or stunted by cl< fires, and there is an increased pro- in portion of the valuable species like ot , yellow poplar, hickory and red oak. he The cost of fire patrol has been ex- pu r cessive, since one man should patrol c a much larger tract, and this patrol on ? cannot stop now, but must be con- ag nuucu ioi iiik iit*At it'ii years, wnen in no cutting is taking place and no in- m come is being derived from the prop- ml erty. The great value of the results eb d which have been secured indicates, su however, the desirability of a legal^ Ized or systematized patrol system ml during the dangerous season in the co forested portions of the counties, es- th pecially in those sections where there ah is tender young growth. The result- so u ant benefits extend far beyond the in- Aj dividual owners. It means the main- so '0 tenance of the producing value of th lands, assuring additional property co o for taxation, and a cheaper and more six 0 I abundant supply of raw material for ? building and for industiial uses.?

Many plants are permanently in- i red by water remaining in the ucer; others often suffer from a < d selection of the soil.
