 year old tree 



Mr. C. E. Strawbridge. of Lima, Ohio, writes U8 

 under date of August 2e, 192U, as follows: ' On 

 April 10, 1916, 1 set out one of your new Rochester 

 Peach trees. Laet year we picked 5 peaches from 

 it, each averawirnf the tht- nize of an average tea 

 cup. THIS YEAR WE HAVE PICKED tXACTlY 403 LARGE 

 PEtOES FROM THIS ONE TREE. Many people have seen 

 this tree, and can hardly believe their own eyes. 

 One of its admirers was Postmaster J. E. Sullivan, 

 who wants me to put him in touch with the "FEL- 

 LOWS WHO HAVE SUCH TREES FOR SAU.'

HARDY AVOCADO DISCOVERED IN 

 ECUADOR. 



A variety of avocado, or alligator pear, 

 the fruit of which attains a weight of 18 

 ounces and the trees of which will stand 

 some frost, has been sent to the office of 

 foreign seed and plant introduction, United 

 States Department of Agriculture, by Wil- 

 son Popenoe, plant explorer in South Amer- 

 ica, and buds of it are now growing in the 

 department greelnhouses. Curiously, the 

 new avocado, hardier against cold than the 

 ordinary West Indian and Guatemalan va- 

 rieties, was discovered in Ecuador, a coun- 

 try situated on the Equator. The region, 

 hitherto unknown as producing this fruit, 

 is in what is known as the Chota Valley, 

 6,000 feet above sea level, giving a climate 

 comparable to many regions much farther 

 north. Most of the fruits of varieties of 

 this Mexican race are small. This one has 

 fruits comparable in size with those of the 

 more tender races. Regions occasionally 

 visited by a temperature of plus 18 degrees 

 F. have produced bearing trees of the Mex- 

 ican avocado.

FOURTH SOUTHERN FORESTRY 

 CONGRESS 



With February 6, 7, and 8 definitely set 

 as the dates for the Fourth Southern 

 Forestry Congress, President Roy L. Hogue 

 of the Congress announces that plans are 

 progressing for the meeting at Jackson. The 

 Mississippi Legislature will be in session 

 at that time, and the foresters are confi- 

 dent that favorable action will be taken in 

 forestry matters. A cpmprehensive for- 

 estry bill will be introduced in to the Leg- 

 islature at the recommendation of the Re- 

 clamation Commission which was created 

 by the last Legislature. P, P, Garner, 

 Commissioner of -Agriculture, is president 

 of the Commission, and J. T. Ward of 

 Waynesboro, who is also a lumberman and 

 inember of the House of Representatives, 

 is secretary. The Commission has delved 

 deep into the question of forestry in Mis- 

 sissippi, and their recommendations will 

 carry much weight. 



"We feel that the convening of the ' 

 Fourth Congress at Jackson while the for- 

 estry bill is under consideration will go far 1 

 towards focusing public attention on this 

 topic", says Mr, Hogue. "While the South- 

 ern Forestry Congress as an organization is 1 

 not committed to any specific bill, we are 1 

 always eager to further the passage of any 

 forestry legislation which has local support 

 In other words, we do not aim to 'mix' 

 in any way with local politics, but aim 

 to bring to each State an account of what 

 the other States of the South are doing 1 

 along forestry lines. In this way we can ; 

 render the most effective assistance in 1 

 arousing enthusiasm for forestry." 



The program of the Congress as tenta- 

 tively arranged includes a number of sub- 

 jects of first interest to the lumber in- 

 dustry. Among these are the knotty prob- 

 lems of the taxation of forest lands, which ' 

 was the center of a large part of the dis- 

 cussion at New Orleans on November 14 

 and IS, vifhen the Forestry Policy Com- 

 mittee of the National Chamber of Com- 

 merce called on the Southern lumbermen r 

 and conservationists to express their views : 

 on forestry. Every effort will be made tO' 

 secure the attendance of the Tax Commis- 

 sioners from Southern States, many of 

 whom are alive to the burdens under which I 

 the lumberman or land-owner labors when 

 he undertakes to practice conservative lum- 

 bering or outright reforestation. Other 

 topics of particular interest to the lumber- 

 men will be national forestry policies, and- 

 minimum silvicultural requirements for the 

 South. The latter is the technical title for 

 the study which is being made by the South- 

 ern Forest Experiment Station and Austin 1 

 Cary of the Forest Service of the meas- 

 ures which are necessary to keep forest" 

 lands reasonably productive of timber. The 

 topic covers the question of seed trees,, 

 slash disposal, and fire protection, as ap-
