A Permanent Forest that 

 Nets $40 an Acre Every Ye ar 



Fifteen years ago all marketable timber was removed from a hundred acre 

 tract of Chestnut. Pine and Oak owned by Cristian Sharer near Port Matilda, 

 Pa., but the young growth was not destroyed. Last winter again the ripe 

 stuff was cut, and the return secured from five average acres was 700 telephone 

 poles, 15 cars of mine ties and props, some railroad ties and some saw stuff. 

 The 700 poles brought $3,000 cash ; cutting and hauling them cost $3.)0. 

 Tile 15 cars of small stuff netted $225. This, without the other lumber, for 

 which we have no figures, make $:.'.s7.") as tlie net cash return from five acres 

 for fifteen years. It Figures $38.33 For Each Acre Every Year. Wheat, 

 corn, oats or hay do exceedingly well to net $20 an acre yearly on the best 

 of land. This timber grew on steep, rock mountainside, and required only 

 as much labor in fifteen years as farm crops do in one or two years. 



If you have any sized area which in the light of these facts needs timber, 

 let us help you put timber on it. We have specialized on growing seedlings 

 and transplanted trees for forestry purposes for over fifty years. We are 

 headquarters in this line. Ask for "The Forest Planter's Guide," a little 



book of interesting suggestions and
