State College Of Agriculture. Just what value do you place on that patch of woods on your farm, or do you consider it only as an ob stacle to the cultivation of the land? A hundred years ago timber was very plentiful and prices low. At the pres ent time the best of the timber in the East and South has been logged, or destroyed, and lumber prices are advancing rapidly. No longer are the big timber holders of the United States recklessly logging their lands —rather, they are holding their tim ber to take advantage of the rapid increase in wood values. It is con servatively estimated that the pres ent forests of the United States cannot supply the demand for more than seventy-five years. When this is gone we shall have to compete with England and Germany in the world’s markets. During the year 1914 lumber prices in Germany ranged about four times as great as in the United States, and these prices showed an increase of 10 per cent to 15 per cent over the current prices of the year 1913. If this then is true — that the present lumber prices of the United States will be increased 300 per cent or 400 per cent during the next twenty or twenty-five years—can there be any doubt as to the value of a timber investment? The South is particularly favored in the matter of wood produc tion. Nowhere else do trees and for ests grow more rapidly. During the course of twenty years a second growth thicket of old field pine and yellow poplar has developed into a forest, the trees of which average 12 to 15 inches in diameter. While trees of this size do not produce a high per centage of good lumber, there is a strong demand for this class of mate rial in the production of boxes and packing cases. Even as rough lumber the product of these trees would have a value of from S2O to S4O per thou sand feet, and, at the present rate of increase, these prices will have dou bled in ten years, quadrupled in twen ty years. If this is true, and there can be no doubt of it, are there any other portions of the farm with the potential value of these thickets of young trees? What, then, is to be thought of a man who clears away this young timber, often from steep slopes, with the object of placing the land under cultivation for a few years until erosion has carried away the surface soil) and then abandon ing the area to weeds and small trees until nature has painstakingly and slowly re-established a forest cov er? Instead of creating wealth, is he not in reality destroying it?
