AGED WOMAN

I FARMING WASTE.
State College Lecturer Advises Farm
ers to Plant Forests On Their
Property.
State College. How thousands of
acres of waste land, now a drug on
the Pennsylvania agricultural market
at $4 an acre, may be turned Into
almost a 'priceless heritage for fu
ture generations, was ono of the In
teresting topics offered at the closing
sessions of farmers' week at State
College.
Forestry, according to It. It. Cha
fee, of the college 'faculty, has solved
the usefulness of the wasted areas,
and after demonstrating to the visi
tors how rapidly the demand for se
lected timbers Is running ahead of
tho supply, ho advised the planting
at a total cost of $11 an acre of
white pine, European larch, red oak
and Norway spruce, which In the
course of two generations will at the
very lowest estimate sell at $532 an
acre.
Other discussions held during the
day had to do with the popular use
of concrete on tho sanitary farm, cor
rect planting of wheat and fruit can
ning and preserving. At the tap of
12 o'clock the various lecture rooms
were emptied of the visiting agricul

ages back to their homes in the sixty-seven
counties of the state.

mental agricultural chemistry, spoke
on the general conditions as good In
this state and the growers reported
good profits since 1910; when al
most the entire crop was stored and
declared unsalable 'because of the
dry season.
