TAKaf NO SUSSTITUTE. J.I'lit REFORESTATION IS EASY. (Condadsd from last week.) I am told that Germany spends several million marks annually to raise trees, and receives annually more than twice as much money from the sale of timber than she expends. I would also advocate the imposing upon all Weed-off lands a basie tax sufficiently high to insure their revert' ing naturally to the state for a reason able compensation, the lands to be util ized in raising tree for futre genera tions; the levying of this tax to be sus pended in ease private owners should wish to set aside their logged-off lands for the purpose of raising timber under state regulations; this timber to pay a cutting tax at the time it is cut. , The details of such a tax and the set ting aside of logged-off lands for the raising of timber by private owners are matters that can be worked out; the in terests of the people protectod; the rev enue which the timber and lumber in terests should rightfully pay the state provided, but collected in such a man ner as will help conserve our forests in stead of encouraging owners to cut and waste them, as under our present system of taxation. I am firmly of the opinion that if our forests are to be conserved and new forests grown, the first step necessary is the revision or evolutiomz ing of our system of taxation. The following table shows a list of trees under observation, with age, diam eter, and estimated number of feet, upon which data the accompanying ar tide is based: Bed Tir. Diameter on Stump (Inches) 26 83 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 120 122 120 120 105 136 123 124 T4 125 118 130 135 140 135 105 . . , 125 ... 125 ,., 123 85 ... 120 ... 125 ... 90 ... 125 133 143 90 102 85 80 112 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 r 24 21 20 15 19 18 16 li 15 14 18 23 24 22 18 20 13 15 15 12 13 14 16 12 32 31 26 30 28 44 28 c 30 18. 28, , 28 50 52 62 44 '26 31 32 36 18 24 25 20 30 32 42 20 20 22 18 Hemlock. 40 105 90 ,. 92 96 105 19 18 17- 21 23 22 25 24 19 . 30 36 30 82 ' 34 Esti mated No. of 1200 1000 700 650 200 600 400 250 150 200 175 400 900 1000 800 400 650 150 200 200 100 150 175 250 100 2400 2000 1200 ; 1800 1500 4500 1500 .1800 40O 1500 . 500 ' 7000 7500 7500 4500 1200 2000 2400 3000 400 1000 .,1100 650 1800 2400 4250 650 650 800 400 800 500 400 325 700 900 800 1100 1000 500 1800 3300 1800 2400 2800 Tellow Fir. 490 .... 410 84 My conclusions regarding the growth of timber are as follows: Bed fir will attain an average diam eter of 16 to 18 inches in 40 years; hem lock a diameter of 18 to 20 inches in the same length of time. The growth of the timber examined by me is about two inches in diameter during the past 10 years for trees 40 to 50 years old, and one inch in diameter for trees 125 to 250 years old. The growth on trees 400 years old is hard to read without a glass. Tha TImberman. The increasing exodus of emigrants is alarming England.
