LINCOLN MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY 



1 INCOLN Ivlemorial University, situated 

 in the heart of the Cumberland 

 Mountains, is offering for 1919 a one 

 year course in its School of Forestry 

 which coinbines practical field work on the 

 University's forest tract of 2,000 acres with 

 theoretical and practical studies. It does 

 not attempt to cover all the technical 

 courses offered at many other schools of 

 Forestry but does hope to combine enough 



practical and technical training in its short 

 intensive course, to develop a well qualified 

 forest workman. This is a co educational 

 undenominational institution with a total 

 enrollment la.st year of 493 students. Its 

 policy is to provide at a low cost a practical 

 education for ambitious young people, par- 

 ticularly for the white youth of its own 

 section of the country. 



TABLE OF N.ATIVE MAINE WOODS 



TVIXETEEX different kinds of native 

 Maine woods are used to make a 

 handsome and unique table for the Direc- 

 tors' and General Conference Room in the 

 offices of the Eastern Forest Products 

 .\ssociation at Bangor. The table is eight 

 feet long and three feet wide with five 

 legs. The top is made of si.x boards si.x 

 inches wide, of the following woods ; white 

 ash, birdseye rock maple, black cherry, 

 curly yellow birch, beech and quartered 

 white oak. 



The legs are of elm, hickory, chestnut, 

 butternut and mahoganized yellow birch. 

 The ledge boards are of sycamore, white 

 birch, brown ash and cherry birch. Under 

 the margin of the top is a plate to give 

 a thick top effect which is made of white 

 pine, hemlock, white cedar and red spruce. 

 With the exception of the mahoganized 

 leg, each piece is in natural finish and the 

 effect is beautiful. 



The table was the idea of H. G. Wood, 

 Executive Secretary of the Association, 

 and was made by Morse & Company, at 

 Bangor, a member of the Association. The 

 boards of birdseye maple and curly birch 

 are exceptionally choice and are said by 

 many to be the handsomest they have 

 ever seen. 



PLANT MEMORIAL TREES 



FALL IS THE TIME TO PLANT NAR- 

 CISSUS AND TULIP BULBS 



'T'ULIP bulbs should be planted in Octo- 

 ber, preferably about the middle of the 

 month, and narcissus bulbs may be plant- 

 ed up to the middle of October, but prefer- 

 ably about the first of the month, accord- 

 ing to specialists of the United States 

 Department of Agriculture. 



The bulbs should be planted in loose, 

 rich soil, devoid of rank, or unrotted, or 

 poorly incorporated manures. It should 

 be dug to a depth of from 12 to 15 inches. 

 The tulip bulbs should be set 5 inches apart 

 and 4 inches deep and the narcissus bulbs 

 about 10 inches apart and 5 inches deep. 



If they are to be grown in pots or window 

 boxes, light rich soil should be used. 

 Place I to 2 inches of cinders or broken 

 pots in the bottom of the pots or boxes 

 to insure good drainage. After planting, 

 place the pots or boxes out of doors and 

 cover them with about 4 inches of ashes 

 or sand ; or they may be placed in a dark 

 cool room or cellar for a few weeks, until 

 the bulbs have formed a quantity of roots. 

 They may then be brought into the light 

 and heat for flowering. Keep the soil well 

 moistened from time of planting, but avoid 

 overmoistening, for if kept too wet the 

 bulbs will decay.
