For Commercial Utile -
First, for commercial use, such
as .maple, elm, oak, 'ash, 'pine,: hem-
lock or poplin, according to the
land suitable for each kind. Every
100 -acre farm should have not less
than 10 acres of bush, and when
planted should join as nearly as
possible an, adjoining farmer's bush,
so as to make it more compact to
break high winds. When planting
on workable ,land it• should, the
year previous to planting, be well
summer-fallowed and maimed, and
the following spring punted in rows
about one rod apart, but closer in
the rows. -
For several years following, the
farmer could grow potatoes or roots.
,As a result of cultivation, the trees
would grow faster, and when about
10 feet high the- land could he
seeded down •-and ' pastured.

In ,growing trees for commercial
use they should. be trimyned,espe-
ciallr those intended for°sawlogs.
The Government + should have
more control in preventing the cut-
ting down. of email timber hi a Bush
of not much, commercial value, as
these trees would later on become
valuable. So' far reforestration has
been made ; chiefly for ornamental
purposes, or on land not suitable for
cultivation, owing to' the idea that
good, valuable working land on
which to plant trees; to become bush
;for future generations was too ex-
pensive.

Good Results Indicated
Forests have many values:
1. Te conserve •Moisture as well
as have heavier dews.
2. To prevent the damage of high
winds.
3. 'Where_ forests , are it ,means
Purifying the air•
-4. The conservation of birds which
are;i beneficial' in destroying 'insects.
More attention should also be
given to planting• trees: around farm

The largest lens opening on a box-

Buildings that are entirely or part-
ly outlined with electric lights (the
lights, showing as tiny white disks
on a black background): make fan-
.tastioally interesting shots. Details
of the building should not show in
the finished print or the effect will
be lost; therefore, care should -be
taken to avoid overexposure. With
a folding type camera, use a lens
opening of 1/16 and allow about five
to fifteen seconds, depending on the
brilliancy of .the lights. This lens
setting should give detail around
the lights only and make them stand
out quite dramatically.

when he receives prints Will be,
"Gee; those pictures were swell."
