Sale for Forest Tree Seed 



It would lie difficult to say how many bushpls of forest troo seed fiud sale 

 yearly in tlie United States for planting purposes, but the quantity is 

 large, and includes the seeds of both hardwoods and soft woods. Nurseries 

 are the largest buyers, but many private purchasers swell the total. Most 

 forest tree seeds, or at least larso (luantities, have come from fiermany. 

 Even the seeds of white pini' ;in<l Douglas fir. which are strictly .\mcrican 

 trees, have been coming from (iermany, after being collected from planted 

 trees. Nursery stock of the same species, and of many others, has been 

 supplied from Germany. Imports from there are now cut off, and It seems 

 wholly unlikely that supplies can arrive in time for next year's plantintr. 

 America should be able to supply tree seeds for its omi people. All the 

 kinds wanted are grown here, and there should be no serious obstacles 

 in the way of collecting and marketing them. The government collects 

 such as it needs for planting on lands of its own, but it will not be able 

 to spare many seeds for private nurseries. 



Wood Oil for Varnish 



The Chinese at Hankow make considerable quantities i»r wood oil which 

 is used in the manufacture of varnishes. The United States is one of the 

 best customers for the oil. .At the beginning of the European war the 

 price in Hankow was .$.'!. 06 per 100 pounds. It fell soon after to $12.97 : 

 but it recovered and went higher th.nn before. The latest (luotations list 

 the oil at §4.12. The rise in price is said to have been caused by large 

 purchases in the Chinese markets by .Japanese merchants. 



Arkansas Forest Fires 



The newspapers report that recent forest tires in Arkansas have tloue 

 little damage because most of the burning was confined to brush lands, and 

 that which ran through pine forests did not burn mature timber. That is 

 one way of looking at it, but it relates to the present only. It is a mis- 

 take to suppose that no harm results from burning small growth. Such 

 growth will some time become timber, if let alone. It is equ.ally erroneous 

 to suppose that Are can i)a.>s througli mature pine forests*w!thout doing 

 damage. It kills the seedlings, and thereby kills the future forest.
