Thtf ever-increasing scarcity and cost of firewood and coal has turned many land-owners' attention to the feasibility of growing their own supplies. Nearly every farm has a certain amount of poor land. A good idea is to plant this up with pinus insignis. The trees grow rapidly, and can T>e used for firewood about tho sixth year. The wood, if kept dry, makes splendid firewood, and burns brightly without sparks. If 1000 trees to the acre are planted, starting at tho sixth year these may be thinned down to 100 to tho acre bjr the twentieth year, and you will &till have an asset worth £200 per acre for timber.
