  1. 
  Hand-hewn 
  Hemlock 
  Timbers 
  En 
  Route 
  to 
  Market. 
  

  

  These 
  measure 
  7 
  by 
  9 
  inches 
  and 
  are 
  18J-2 
  feet 
  long 
  and 
  weigh 
  nearly 
  400 
  pounds. 
  When 
  such 
  means 
  of 
  

   transport 
  are 
  replaced 
  by 
  trucks 
  and 
  trains, 
  the 
  remaining 
  forests 
  may 
  be 
  doomed.

  2. 
  An 
  Old 
  Orchard 
  of 
  Jujubes 
  or 
  Chinese 
  Dates 
  Near 
  peiping. 
  

  

  Winter 
  wheat 
  is 
  planted 
  in 
  rows 
  in 
  this 
  orchard. 
  It 
  makes 
  a 
  good 
  growth 
  before 
  the 
  leaves 
  of 
  the 
  trees 
  in 
  

   spring 
  cast 
  too 
  much 
  shade. 
  Jujube 
  orchards 
  are 
  now 
  established 
  in 
  California.
