PLANT PRES,
State Expert Baker Says Denuded Land
Would Be Worth $400 an Acre In
Sixteen Years,
“Unpro 'uctive mountain regions, |
denuded of their trees, forlorn and for- |
saken by all except the tax collector, |
cin be made worth at lenst $400 per |
acre in a score of years, if planted in
red oak seedlings,” was the statement
made by Prof. Hugh P, Baker, head of
the forestry department ia the Penn |
sylvania State College School of Agri-
culture and Experiment Station, |
But that big profit message is only a |
minimum valuation to which Penn-
sylvanians can expect thelr ** cut-out’
and barren woodland to enhance with
little expense and even less labor, It is
almost a story of how to sit still and
grow rich. Prof. Baker then told how
to do it, and this is what he said :—
“If it is necessary to purchase de-
nuded forest land, you should be able
to sectire it for not more than $250 an
acre, for that was the maximum price
paid by the state in acquiring ita re-
serve of 7000 scres. Very probably the
hills will be covered with a shruboy
growth, which can be profitably
marketed either ss an excelsior or
charcoal. If you do not care to cut it
all d ‘wo just destroy the bushes and
growth within a yard radius of where
the seedling is to be planted,
“It is as easy to grow trees as to
raise turnips. You ean purchase good |
red oak seedlings cheaply, or
more economically gather them in the
woods, aud after cariug for them a
year in a shady place in your garden
trapsplant the small trees on the hill
There place them at the corners of
rectangles eight feet square, and after
you have aided them to get a good
start all the work necessary has
been completed. Then instead of work-
ing for your profits, all you need do
is to wait for them.
“* As the trees grow their gradually
extending shade will kill much of
the shrubby growth beneath it. Ip
from eight to twelve years you can cut
the red ak for fence posts ; in sixteen
to twenty-five years it is marketable
for railroad ties, and after forty-five
and within seventy-five, will yield
esormous profits as saw logs. Just
now I think tbe most money could
be made in the shortest time by sell-
ing your red oak as ties,
‘* At the present market price of
such ties an acre growing them at a
distance of eight feet spart is worth
$100, but the steady consumption of
native wood so far in excess of produc
tion is constantly causing the price of
timber to rise. Now If the $400 valua-
tion sounds sufficiently good for an
acre of red oak suitable for ties, pros-
even
RN 2 : AR ——— ERA Ar
pettive reforeatets will find additional
enthusiasm in my candid belle! that
within a score of years that kind of
lumber will be worth three times itn
present value,
“Lumber i» among the absolute
necessities, and with so few persons
preparing for the future supply, you
can readily imagine the prices that
will be received within a score of years
when the native growth shall have
been exhausted and reliance must be
placed on a new supply.”

The Reporter quite agrees with the
Venango Daily Herald in ite plan to
have the Arbor days of Pennsylvania
made days of real tree planting rather
than days of arborial exercises, The
Herald presents a well-defined plan
whereby the public pupils
could be made a powerful factor in the
matter of promoting forest rehabilita-
tion If school districts ware to sequire
the gradual ownership of lands lying
contiguous to rural school houses, and
then the Arbor days of the year being
made the occasion of actual and ex-
tensive tree planting, the state nur-
series to supply the seedlings. Our
contemporary would have these
young forests known as school pre
serves, and suggests that they be un-
