studied conditions carefully, and he
found that the machine works very
satisfactory. It has two desirable ad

such a 'manner that better crop re

the jail from the of flee of the city re

TO GROW CORK TREES
San Francisco, Feb. 5. America
may some day grow Its own cork
trees, If experiments now being con
ducted at the National Plant Intro
duction garden at Chlco, Cel., are suc
cessful. Fifteen thousand cork oaks
are now being propagated from acorns
received from Spain. This Is the first
attempt to Introduce cork oak Into
America for commercial purposes.
The cork oak, from the bark of
which corks are manufactured, is of
Spanish origin and la the basis of an
Important Industry In Spain. About
20 years Is required for the tree to
reach the commercially valuable stage
when tho outer bark Is removed. The
trees continue to thrive, however, and
yield an annual crop of bark.
