[Correspondence of the Gazette.] Throughout a large part of the eastern states nearly every farm has its woodlot. From that woodlot, which is often all that remains of the vast forests which originally clothed the region, the farmer supplies his own needs. It furnishes him with fuel, fence posts, rails, poles, and even with timber, boards and shingles to keep the farm buildings in repair. A well-managed wood-lot is therefore a very valuable part of the farm, and the sum total of all farm woodlots represents a very large national asset. The U. S. forest service has for some years devoted special attention to the needs of woodlot owners. Its co-operation is offered to all who would have advice on the management of woodlots, and many thousands of acres of farm forests are now actually cared for under practical systems of forestry which it has recommended. As a general rule but little care is devoted to the woodlot. It is left to shift for itself, is often used too freely for the pasturage of live stock and is rarely guarded from fire or forest enemies. When wood is needed to become branchy if they far apart. Past neglect has produced woodlots in which the health of the best kinds are chiefly unsound and dead trees and inferior kinds. For such provement cuttings are not will pay to spend the time bor necessary to remove crooked and diseased trees with the weed trees, so the maining stand may be corrected good timber trees in sufficient under conditions far their best development. Be done gradually, as they can be utilized. When once the improvement has brought the wood businesslike shape, further tions should be made with reproduction and a lasting Care should be taken working up, and hauling to do as little damage as young growth. If reproduc to take place from seed, the location of seed trees must sidered. Where the forest is mainly of such trees as chestnut, which sprout the stump, it may be cut most of the good-sided part of the woodlots purpose of raising a crop. Such sprouts grow rapidly due good poles, posts and comparatively early age stumps should be cut low It is now used in the country. As a general rule but little care is devoted to the woodlot. It is left to shift for itself, is often used too freely for the pasturage of live stock and is rarely guarded from fire or forest enemies. When wood is needed but little discretion is exercised in the choice of trees, and no need is left of providing for the renewal or improvement of the stand. Yet it is decidedly a simple matter to care for the woodlot. The owner need not burden himself with any very elaborate system. Nor need he, in most cases, reduce the amount of timber which he cuts. Eventually, of course, he can cut more, for more will be grown. The first requirement of the ordinary woodlot is protection, and the second, selection in cutting. Fire is thief enemy of the woodlot. Fires damage the larger trees, starting hollows in the butts or weakening them until they begin to die in the tops, reducing their value when cut; but the greatest harm is done to reproduction and the growth of young trees. Running over the forest soil they consume the litter and kill the seedlings. The forest soil becomes too dry to encourage the germination of tree seeds. Even if seedlings succeed in finding root and begin to flourish, the next fire destroys them. Fires may easily be kept out of the woodlot with a little care. They are often started to improve the grazing and pasture. This is certainly poor policy. While the grazing may be improved for a few years the woodlot is often permanently injured. It is generally a poor plan to expect land to produce grass and wood at the same time. Neither will do well and the owner will be paying taxes on land which he only half uses. Grazing animals often do much injury to the woodlot. They mainly of such trees as chestnut, which sprout at the stump, it may be cut most of the good-sided part of the woodlot purpose of raising a crop. Such sprouts grow rapidly due good poles, posts and comparatively early age stumps should be cut lowering so as to prevent rotting cure strong and numerous. There are a number of systems, some of which requirements of one woodlot those of another.

Or, owner desire a special management of his would make application ester, U. S. Department of Agriculture, for the co-operation service. Value of Farm Wealth production on United States in 1905 highest amount ever obtained or any other country—$600. In the first annual reelection term Secretary of Wilson presented an array and a statement reproduc products and profits of this country, which "dreams of wealth produce hardly equal." Four crops make new as to value—corn, hay, rye, although in amount the corn crop is that exceeds previous every crop the general production was high and still higher.

It is generally a poor plan to expect land to produce grass and wood at the same time. Neither will do well and the owner will be paying taxes on land which he only half uses. Grazing animals often do much injury to the woodlot. They browse upon young growth and trample it down. They also pack the soil with their hoofs, destroying its power to retain moisture and encouraging the entrance of grass. Grazing should be watched, and should be permitted in the woodlot only when such harm will not result. In cutting, the first thing to look out for is the young growth. The whole point of forest management is to have new trees of the most useful kind to take the place of the old, just as soon as possible after they are cut. One thoughtless stroke of the ax will get rid of a fine sapling half the size of a man's wrist, if it is a little in the way, and a dozen years of growth is lost. On the other hand, the cutting of a good tree may simply open room for worthless trees to take its place. In some regions care must be taken not to permit the crown cover to become too open. In a good forest the soil will be soft and moist, and this soil condition is essential if the trees are to thrive and make good growth. Opening the ground to the sun dries out the moisture, and often burns out the young growth as though by fire, while the trees tend Four crops make new wealth the secretary estates the farms of the country creased in value during years to a present aggregation of $16,133,000,000. "Every sunset during years," he says, "has no increase of $3,400,000 in the farms of this country. This increased value suggests, is invested by bank deposits or even hedged bonds of private companies. "The black scale," said tary, "has for many serious enemy to citrus crops of California, and ladybird enemy of the sea imported from Australia. Effective only in certain of California. After successful attempts to establish known as Scutelia from Italy, it was found species also inhabits South America and from that point speciated which at one in California and have with such rapidity as enormous benefit to growanges, lemons and olives."

The continued prosperity of the viticultural industry of the Pacific Coast, in which over $85,000,000 is now invested, depends in a large degree upon accurate determination of these important questions." Secretary Wilson reports that hardy types of citrus fruit have been evolved called "citranges." and they of such trees as oak and nut, which sprout well from comp, it may be advisable to rest of the good-sized trees, part of the woodlot, for the use of raising a crop of sprouts. Sprouts grow rapidly and produced poles, posts and ties at a relatively early age. But the should be cut low and slantto prevent rotting and serong and numerous shoots. There are a number of thinning tips, some of which may suit the elements of one woodlot but not of another. By a careful readBulletin No. 42 of the Forest Department, entitled "The Woodlot," the American familiarize himself with and choose whichever one his woodlore and observation sugges the best. Or, should the desire a special plan for the element of his woodlot, he may make application to the Former J. S. Department of Agriculture for the co-operation of the forice. Value of Farms Health production on farms of the United States in 1905 reached the total amount ever obtained in this other country—$6,415,000,000.

Secretary Wilson reports that hardy types of citrus fruit have been evolved, called "citranges," and they are being distributed. The report concludes: "Should there be no relapse from his present position as a wealth producer, three years hence the farmer will find that the farming element, about 35 per cent of the population, has produced an amount of wealth within ten years equal to one-half of the entire national wealth produced in three centuries." Left to Wickson Berkeley, Dec. 4.—At a meeting held in Sacramento, the University Farm commission, created by the last legislature to select a site for the new plant pathological laboratory and sub-experiment station, decided not to visit any more of the sites offered by the various sections of the state and turned the whole matter over to Professor E. J. Wickson, dean ef the college of agriculture at Berkeley. Professor Wickson was instructed to visit the profered sites and to make a report to the commission rendering expert judgment as to the availability of the sites. The decision of the commission brings to a head a discussion that has disrupted the commission and rendered its deliberations useless for some time. Ever since the passage of the act which provided for a farm, there has been a contest for the honor of the farm among the various sections of the state. After the commission had traveled over a good postion of the state and arrived at no conclusion, the question arose as to what purpose the value—corn, hay, wheat and although in amount of produce the corn crop is the only one exceeds previous yields. In crop the general level of production was high and that of prices higher. Besides the enormous yield of corn the secretary estimates that farms of the country have increased in value during the past five years to a present aggregate value of 133,000,000. Every sunset during the past five days he says, "has registered an increase of $3,400,000 in the value of farms of this country." Has increased value, the secretary asserts, is invested better than in deposits or even in the gilt bonds of private corporations. The black scale," says the secretaire, "has for many years been a great enemy to citrus and olive of California, and although the third enemy of the scale had been tested from Australia, it was serious only in certain portions of California. After several unsuccessful attempts to establish the parthenocissus as Scutellista Cyanea in Italy, it was found that this plant also inhabits South Africa, from that point specimens were produced which at once took hold of California and have multiplied such rapidity as to prove of obvious benefit to growers of oranges, lemons and olives.
