WOOD LOT IMPROVEMENT Every farmer needs fuel; every farmer needs fertilizer; and every farm wood lot needs improvement. Why not kill all three birds with one stone. By judiciously planned thin nings tlie condition of the wood lot can be greatly improved; the material re moved in the thinnings can be burned as firewood; and the wood ashes left are so rich in potash as to make a valuable fertilizer. The wood lot is, perhaps, the only farm crop to which the farmer has not considered it necessary to devote any -are. His grains are sowed on care fully prepared soil; his vegetables are cultivated, and his fruit trees are pruned and sprayed; his forest trees alone are left to look out for 'them selves. This is the more remarkable when It is taken into consideration that any labor expended on the wood lot not only improves the final crop, but ordinarily pays for itself as well No detailed technical knowledge is re quired for the work, all that is neces sary is the exercise of common sense. It is obvious that the trees in any wood lot are not all of equal value. Some are fuller, straighter, thriftier and of species which yield more valu able wood than others. It is also ob vious that there is a constant struggle going on between the trees for tight America Prepared To Supply World This Country is Taking Advantage of Opportunities for Trade and Oomrael'ce Afforded by Reason of Struggle in Europe.

The object of thinning is simply to give the best trees the advantage in this struggle by removing the poorer ones which inter fere with their development First of all defective trees should be removed. This Includes trees attack ed by insects or fungi (conks), trees with fire-scarred butts, with tops broken off by wind or lightning, and in general all trees w-hich are unthrifty from any cause. Next corre the trees of poor form, such as very crookeu or very branchy ones, which are inter fering with the growtli of better form ed neighbors. And finally are the trees of less valuable species, such as dogwood, Ironwood, and hornbeam. These not only take up space that might better be occupied by such spe cies as oak, hickory, and ash, but also, as a rule, produce seed more abund antly and so reproduce themselves at the expense of more desirable trees. While the wood removed in these thinnings is frequently of no value for other purposes, it can practically al ways be used to advantage for fuel. In this way the worq can be made to pay for itself, particulrly when the fu ture use of the wood lot is a tree so ciety, in which the best trees should be given every chance to attain the greatst possible development by the re moval and utilization of the unfit. cartridges for the use of the English and French armies were opened here today : 2 rerr- c:,tally es of those gove.mnents.
