PROFIT IN CATALPA TREES SOIL MUST BE RICH AND RATHER MOIST Catalpa Is Especially Adapted For Wood Crops of Short Rotation—Favorable to a Very Speedy Growth Greater skill and attention to details are required to grow catalpa profitably than perhaps any other tree. In the first place, the seed of young trees must all be of the particular species known as hardy catalpa; the others, for the production of wood, are not worth the planting. The soil must be rich and rather moist, and must not contain too much alkali. Whenever the young trees are making a low branching growth so that they will be unsuited for posts or poles they should be "cut back," that is, cut off close to the ground, when two or three years old, just as if they were large enough for market. Several sprouts immediately spring up from each stump and grow vigorously, and the competition for sunlight stimulates height growth and encourages natural pruning. This enables the tree to form a straighter stem with fewer branches. At the end of the season the sprout is nearly as tall as the three-year-old tree would have been. The many disappointments in growing catalpa are attributable largely to unfavorable site and stock of an inferior kind of catalpa. Crooked, limby trees also often result when the trees are not cut back, and where the limbs, after attaining some size, are broken off, decay enters and the heart rot so injurious to the tree begins. Returns—Value of posts $315.21; value of firewood, al gross returns, per acre, 300 acres is cut annually, but there are so distributed through plantation that the openings are conspicuous. The farm conserve so 300 acres of apple trees, catalpa is counted the surer crop ago the late freeze almost destroyed the apple crop offset its loss a double pot catalpa was harvested. While it is true that no forest tree except eucalypt been grown in large plantations so great profit as catalpa, it is really true that, with the end of cottonwood and black locust other has been the source of disappointment. Catalpa grown profitably only with a hand knowledge of the habit tree, and a care that the market are favorable; there should be the exercise good management and as sention to detail as would be ed to run any other factory and house combined. That is the tice of forestry. BELL ADDRESSES LARGE Leader of State Democracy Political Issues Theodore A.

The many disappointments in growing catalpa are attributable largely to unfavorable site and stock of an inferior kind of catalpa. Crooked, limby trees also often result when the trees are not cut back, and where the limbs, after attaining some size, are broken off, decay enters and the heart rot so injurious to the tree begins. When trees are cut back the plantation must be sprouted, either by removing the undesirable sprouts while green, or by cutting them out the following winter with an ax. All but the strongest one or two sprouts are removed. After ten years under best conditions the first crop has gained the size at which it can be cut most profitably for posts. Each tree should then produce one first-class post, worth 12 or 14 cents, one second-class post worth 8 cents, and two or three stays worth 3 cents each. From the small and crooked limbs considerable firewood is secured, which, in a large plantation is sawed into stove lengths and piled convenient for shipping at the same time that the posts are sawed. After all material of value has been removed, men go through the plantation with long poles which are pushed ahead of them under the brush. When a considerable amount has been collected the pole is tilted upright, forming a neat pile of brush, for burning. The plantation is thus kept free from obstructions. A vigorous root system has now developed, and future crops are grown from sprouts in 8 years. In catalpa, heartwood forms early. This is in marked contrast with some woods, black walnut for instance, which contains but little heartwood until after the tree is fifty years old. On account of its tendency to mature early, catalpa is especially adapted for wood crops of short rotation. Other favorable qualities are its speedy growth, its power of enduring frequent cutting back, and its light weight. The wood is strong, straight-grained, and durable.

Accompanied by a number of friends he passed through town lerton, where he made an returning here, he spoke for an hour upon political issues, ed from the democratic state. He dwelt upon the tariff, saying party stood for the removal tariff upon trust-made goods; change would be made, he said the citrus schedule if the de were successful. He upheld it upon the question of national antee of bank deposits, and c instance of the Market-street bank in San Francisco, as other banks which failed, millions were lost to depositors arguing that these depositors as all others should have real guarantee that their money was returned when called for. Jas Phelan, he said, one of the bankers on the coast, favored ment guarantee of deposits. Bell spoke at some length Japanese question, saying there 75 000 Japs in California, or on the male adult population. He had just returned from Ohio, Indiana and New York brought good tidings, he said,ifornia democrats in the claim all would be for Bryan on e day.

Southern, resident of ersburg, was arrested at midni heartwood until after the tree is fifty years old. On account of its tendency to mature early, catalpa is especially adapted for wood crops of short rotation. Other favorable qualities are its speedy growth, its power of enduring frequent cutting back, and its light weight. The wood is strong, straight-grained, and durable. The Yaggy plantation, four miles northwest of Hutchinson, Kan., comprises 500 acres of catalpa, and is one of the most successful and profitable in the country. The trees are planted at intervals of four feet in rows six feet apart, or 1800-1900 per acre. Thus, if each tree yielded posts to the value of 30 cents, an acre would yield $544.50 every six years. This does not include the firewood. Excellent shipping facilities are afforded by two railway lines which run through the plantation and have established a station which is named for Mr. Yaggy. Connection is made with other railroads at Hutchinson. Mr. Yaggy estimates the income from his plantation for the first crop to be as follows (the seedlings were home grown). Interest on the investment, not included in these figures, should be considered: Investment—Cost of land per acre, first year, $22; cost of seedlings per acre, 80c.; cost of transplanting per acre, $3.20; cost of cutting back per acre, third year, $2.50; superintendents, implements, fire guards, etc., $3.96; cutting and marketing an acre, $20; total, $52.46.

A year late freeze almost completened the apple crop, and to loss a double portion of was harvested. It is true that no other except eucalyptus has in large plantations with profit as catalpa, it is equthat, with the exception food and black locust, none been the source of so great ment. Catalpa can be vitably only with a beforeledge of the habits of the ca care that the site and are favorable; after that would be the exercise of as agreement and as strict atdetail as would be requirny other factory and store combined. That is the pracestry. GREAT INTEREST TO SHEEPMEN Reduction in Grazing Rates for Sheep on National Forests Following out a statement made a year ago at the meeting of the national wool growers' association in Salt Lake City, Gifford Pinchot, foreester, and A. F. Potter, assistant foreester, in charge of the branch of grazing in the United States forest service, have just announced a reduction of 10 to 15 per cent in the rates for sheep grazing on the national forests of the west. This reduction in the schedule of grazing rates will take effect for the coming season of 1909. The changes in market con­ditions which have made the sheep business less profitable this past year, especially the greatly reduced prices offered for wool and the depreciation in the value of mutton, make the announcement of great interest not only to those who are interested in the sheep business but to the men of every allied industry.

FREE SHOTS AT WIFE in Santa Ana Jail on a serious Charge Northern, resident of Winterset arrested at midnight on take effect for the coming season of 1909. The changes in market conditions which have made the sheep business less profitable this past year, especially the greatly reduced prices offered for wool and the depreciation in the value of mutton, make the announcement of great interest not only to those who are interested in the sheep business but to the men of every allied industry. In 1907, when the promises for a reduced schedule were made it was with the understanding between the stockmen and the forest service that the grazing rates would not be changed for minor fluctuations in the market which would naturally occur from year to year, but would apply only in case of radical or unusual changes. The new schedule does not affect the cases where the minimum charge of 5 cents per head has already been allowed or a specially low rate has been fixed on account of some local condition. In most cases the revised fees will mean a reduction of about one percent per head. In fixing the rates for grazing by different kinds of stock, the local conditions, the effect of grazing by different kinds of stock on forest growth, the demand for the use of range by owners of different kinds of stock, the needs of the homesteader, and the profits of the business have been taken into consideration.
