CONOLUSION. 
The Attitude of Some People. 
Replies to the following question evidence the atti-~ 
tude of a great many farmers toward the subject of wood- 
lots. "In view of the fact that the price of lumber is 
advancing rapidly, and that the woodlots are being 
destroyed, what ought the farmers to do with the woodlots ?" 
Some of the replies : 
"We have no children, hence, we have no object in 
keeping the woodlot for others." 
"The need of getting out of debt compels many of us 
to sell our timber." 
"Someone else may own my farm ten years from now. 
Why leave the wood for him to cut and sell 7?" 
"Every man should plant trees on his waste land." 
"There should be a law to compel or assist farmers to 
plant trees." 
"A man can cut off his woodlot, sell the wood, clean 
and cultivate the land, and from the proceeds of his crops 
buy coal. He will get along just as well and make more 
from his land."
