Except In a comparatively small area In south-eastern Missouri and Arkansas the hardwoods aro not known west of tho Mississippi River, while in thelStatea north of tho Ohio, whero oak was formerly abun dant, there Is none remaining to day. In fact the principal source of supply for these woods Is tho very limited area In the higher mountains of western North Carolina, part of Virginia, West Virginia, eastern Tennessee and southeastern Ken tucky, while from fifty times this entire area In the remaining States of the Union the demand is constant ly Increasing. " Forest conditions in the Cumber land Mountains are far better than In other portions of the United States. The rainfall Is ample to se cure most rapid growths. The soil has not been eroded to such an ex tent as to make renewals difficult. An abundance of low growing shrub and herbage keep tho soil cool and moist and maintain soft fer tility, while much of the region con tains a fine stand of the more valua ble oaks, hickories, poplar, hemlock and walnut. The latter can be quickly secured by supplying the seed. Kllllkliinirk. "We ran out of tobacco while fish ing In the Canadian wilds," said a clubman.
