Economy In F As Well J Wai deuhtisss Bs Os? sf the Lee? United States, Not Only Be, But of Probable Shortag Special te Tho Intelligencer. WASHINGTON, I). C., Oct. 31. Doubtless ope of the lessons of 1914 to th? farmers of the United States will be ,economy ih fertilisers as Wei! as in ? ot nor lines. This is likely not only becauso' of enforced economy as In ali; lihou, 'but because of a probable shortage' and corresponding advance in price ot fertilizer ingredients which have been customarily Imported from Germany." Besides, it is weil known that among the most serious "leaks" I in the average farm ls the waste ot ? refuse that would, if properly han dled, make good fertiliser. Having this idea in view, tho de partment of agriculture has just Is sued a statement legardlng the value of thu wood lot or woodpile as a fer tilizer producing cheney, and indicat ing ho\v tho supply ot both fuel and fertiliser may be conserved by tho Improvement of the wood lot It says: "Every farmer needs fuel; every farmer needs fertilizer; and every farm wood lot. needs Improvement, Why not kill all three birds with one BICUP?- Wy Judiciously planned thin ning th? condition of the wood lot can be greatly improved; tho material re-1 moved fn tho-thinnings' can be burned j as firewood, and the wood lashes letti are so rich, in potash ss tb m ak o a'val uable fertilizer.

No detailed technical knowledge is re quired for tho'work, all that ?B neces sary is the exercise of common sense. "It is obvious that thc trees in any wood lot aro not ail of equal value. Some are taller, straighter, thriftier, and of species which jrMd moro val uable wood than others. It is also ob vious that there ls a conBtant struggle going on between the trees for light and growing space. The object of thinning is simply to givo the best trees the advantage in this strugglo by removing the poorer ones which in terfere with their development. "First of all defective trees should be removed. This Includes trees at tacked by insects or fungi (conks) trees with file-scarred butts, with tops broken off by wind or lightning, and in general all trees which are un thrifty from any cause. Next como tho trees of poor form, such as very crooked or very branchy ones, which aro interfering with the growth of butter formed neighbors. And finally aro tho trees of loas valuable species, such as dogwood, ironwood and horn beam. These not only lake up opaco that might better be occupied by such species as bah, hickory, and ash, but reproduce themselves at the expense of more desirable trees. "While the wood removed tn these thlnings is frequently ot no value for other purposes, it can practically al ways be used to advantage for fuel. In this way the work cab be made to pay fdr . itself, particularly when the fu ture use ot tho wood ashes for fertil izer I'B borne hi mind. The essential point to remember in making such thinnings is that the wood lot is a tree society.
