CHESTNUT FARMING. Tho Interesting 'Mountain Land Ex periment of Thomas Harrington. Wilkes Harre Correspondence In New York Sun An experiment in chestnut farming on a large scale has failed heie, owing to the destruction of a tract ten miles long and the burning of 30,000 tiecs by the foiest fires which recently devas tated tho mountains near here. The projector of the expeilment, a new one In this country. Is Thomas Har rington, of New York city. Some years ago he concehed the Idea of converting a tiacl of wild Hnd Into a chestnut farm und while traveling through this country In 1S97 saw land which suited him and purchased 900 acres. The land is about fifteen Ipilles from this city, on top of the mountain between Bear Creek and Stoddards vllle. The timber was stripped from It years ago and when Mr. Harring ton made the purchase It was covered with a wild ar.d rank growth of young chestnut trees. In the fcprlng of 1897 ho cleared a space all around tho land, to protect It from forest fires, and sjbdivlded the big tract into smaller ones. Then he grafted 10,000 European scions upon the native chestnuts. They did well, survived a hard win ter, and this encouraged him so that he continued the giaftlng until he had 50,000 tiees, Italian, French and Japanese. They proved hardy nnd giew splendidly, and he expected to reap a big three-year crop. During last winter he bought more land to devote to the culture of locust trees, tci make fence posts. Made of this wood posts are of great value and last fully sixty years. There are some on the Patterson farm near heie which are 100 years old and still sound. The fire which destroyed Hnrilng ton's big farm was the most ssrlous of many yeats. It extended from tho mouth of the Tobyhanna creek near Stoddardsville to Rear creek, about tm miles, nnd swept the district thor oughly. The residents are few In that region and they had all they could do to save their farms, some of them suffering heay losses, while the peo ple of Rear Creek, who would othei wise have done their best to save Harrington's tract, had theli hands full m fighting tho flames which threatened their village. Mr. Harrington, in speaking of I1I3 loss, said: "While I undertook the cultivation of the trees as a diversion, I also expecte'l a profit, as improved chestnuts bring a fancy price In the maiket. I also want ed to demonstrate thatthe mountain lands In this section, usually consid ered worthless after the timber Is Btrlpped from them, can be utilized with pi ont. I grafted 10,000 European scions in 1897 and 20.000 more In 1898, The 1897 trees bore fruit last fall and the whole tract would have yielded this year. I was somewhat elated over It proving a scientific success, and It was a question of only a few years befote It would be a success financially as well. "I found a great deal of pleasure on this mountain top. On my first visit 1 was delighted with the country and much Interested In the people. I was moved to pity when I saw their homes, more wretched than the tenements of New York. I found that the men would willingly work ten hours a day for St, and I at once saw how I coula enga&,o them without loss to myself and so de vised tho plan of grafting, It was a question If tho scions would withstand the haul winters ot the altitude Two varieties I found were not hardy enough. I purposed, howevet, to con tinue tho woik, seeing it would finally become very lemuneratlve, as the- nuts bring wholesale $100 a ton, with ever Increasing demands, as the Imports show. JIany people do not appreciate the value of this pioduct and they will be surprised to learn that chestnut flour Is sold In New York at 50 cents a pound, yet It Is grown cheaper than corn. "Ultimately when the trees grew large I expected to have them so far apart as to be good nut trees and to have grnzlng below, and I felt certain that the production would give a value equal to coal or mineral lands. I do not know whether I shall contmue tho effort, for It has been badly burned and It will be two years before I have a growth, but what has been done demonstrates that It Is a success and can be mado to pay If better protec Uon from fires can be arranged."
