the period from 1890 to 1896, except for Prussia, for which 

 the periods end in 1892 : 



In the expenditures there are absorbed by woodchoppers 

 15-18 per cent of the income from wood sales. For planting 

 alone the following expenditures per acre of forest were in- 

 curred in 1894-1895: Prussia, 22 cents; Bavaria, 6.5 cents; 

 Saxony, 14 cents; Wiirtemberg, 17.1 cents; Baden, 18.8 

 cents. This means not per acre planted, but per acre under 

 management. 



P. 138. Rise in Wood Prices. A very careful and exhaus- 

 tive investigation into the movement of prices for wood and 

 for agricultural products in Prussia, comprising the fifty years 

 from 1830 to 1880 (by Dr. Fr. Jentsch in Zeitschrift fur 

 Forst- und Jagdivesen, 1887, pp. 91-108), during which time 

 the price for wood (average) rose 74 per cent, namely, from 

 z\ cents to 4^ cents per cubic foot, brings out the following 

 facts : 



1. The tendency of prices for agricultural products as well 

 as for wood has been toward a rise. 



2. Prices for wood have increased more rapidly than those 

 of the staples wheat and rye (imports!), less rapidly than of 

 potatoes, beef, and butter. 



3. Prices for wood have risen more steadily than those for 

 agricultural products.
