PROFIT IN PLANTED FOREST. PAR New York Salesrooms, 32 Warren St. 
BotH soil and climate conditions in Illinois 
are favorable to tree growth, as is well shown 
by the fact that over 180 species are found, and 
many introduced species thrive. Comparatively 
few species, however—those which meat furnish 
posts or poles at an early age—can be grown on 
the better classes of soils in competition with 
better farm crops. 
During a recent field season the Forest 
Service made a field study to ascertain the kinds 
of trees adapted to planting in the prairie sec- 
tions of the State. Over 100 plantations were 
examined. and more than 20,000 trees were 
measured as a basis for determining the rate of 
growth and the. value of the plantation. The 
yield of posts or poles per acre was computed 
for the plantations examined, and conservative 
prices were assigned in order to find their pres- 
ent value. - Detailed results and consequent 
recommendations are embodied in Circular 81 
of the Forest Service, “Forest Planting in 
Illinois,” which will be sent free upon applica- 
tion to the Forester, United States Department 
of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. 
Plantations which show a net annual income 
at 3 per cent.-of $4 an acre or more are re- 
garded as commercially successful. Judged by
