Forester Hawes and Prof R, T. Haw- ley Point Out State's Opportunity. At the annual meeting of the State Forestry association held at Middle- town Saturday, addresses were made by State Forester A. E. Hawes on the subject of Thinning Willie Pine, and I . by Prof Ralph 'l‘. Hawley, of the Yale Forest School on The Treatment of the Wood-Lot. Mr. Hawes said: “Recent statistICs published by the United States forest service, show that. in New England last year there was cut 600,000,000 feel of box boards. mostly white pine. Of this only two per cent was cut in Connecticut, while Massachusetts furnished 48 per cent. These box- boards are retailing today in Hartford at $27 per thousand and some of our native white pine of better quality has recently SOld for $90 per thousand feet. These prices are much higher than they were five years ago and there is every reason to expect that they wii continue to rise as the supply of western pine becomes ex- haunted. “It takes no great forethought to see the immense advantage to the state which would result if the thou- sands of acres now lying idle or co- vered with brush were raising valuable timber as would be perfectly possible. It; is the realization of the profit in timber raising which is bringing about the present growing interest in forest. » F planting 300.000 white pines are being planted this spring in Connecticut mostly by private owners. “But there is another way of in- creasing the state's output of white pine and of adding to the wealth of the timber owners. This is by con- servative management of existing pine ‘ lots. There are not a great many of these lots left and it is all too com- men for the owner to sell them at. ilie age of 30 or 40 years to a saw mill man at half value. With stumpage worth $5 to $7 per thousand feet it makes a big difference: to the owners whether he estimates his stand at 15,. 000 or 30,000 per acre. Timber own- ers should study the question of tim— ber estimating before. selling. They should also realize that a pine lot ,30 to 50 years old is the best possible investment they can own: that it is not only safc but is producing larger interest than any other form of invest. ment open to the ordinary individual. A pine lot of this age needs thinning out and thinning can be made every five years bringing in a periodic rev— enue which will soon far excced the price offered by most lumbermcn, for the whole lot. i am at. present can ‘ tying out, it thinning of this character in a pine lot belonging to tbc Loomis , institute at Windsor. This lot is two 1 miles from the railroad. The trees to the removed were marked and sold to a mill man at $0 per thousand for the xldmbet‘ and $1.25 per cord for the South Norwalk. Telephone Cali 336-6. ed at 35,000 feet per acre of which about 8,000 feet are to be removed. Provided all the trees cut furnished lumber this would furnish as the im- mediate return $48 an acre. Probably the amount of dead wood may bring these returns down to $40. The rate of growth during the past 50 years without treatment has been at an arc: rage of 700 feet per acre, per annum. it is believed that the present thin- ning will increase the growth to 800 or 1.000 feet besides resulting in a better quality of timber, 800 feet at $0 per thousand are worth $4.80 and with the probable rise in price it is fair to assume that this grow will make from now on $5 per acre nor an. aunt. ’l‘he adjoining land cut over and repeatedly burned over is assessed at $5 to $8 an acre and it unfit for any. thing other than forestry. By this system of periodic cutlings the forest can be reproduced naturally without planting so that it becomes a perniair out money producer. The owner has the inn-rest on the money received for the ihinnings bcsidcs the annual growth of the remaining stand. There is no reason why woodlots of this class should not. yield their owners perma- nent incomes just as the hay field and the pnsturc.“ Professor Hawlcy of the Forest school said in part, in speaking of the treatment of the woodlot: “At the present time. undoubtedly greater interest has developed through- out the state toward the planting side of forestry than toward the proper handling of existing woodlands. This is shown by the comparatively large number of owners who have started forest. plantations in contrast to those who apply scientific management to their woods “That. this should be so is rather remarkable inasmuch as planting calls for an immediate outlay of money with returns (although sure) long do layed, while the well managed Wood lot. constantly improving in condition under treatment often provides a pro- fit from the. very start, “Clear cutting of the. woodlois in the past has resulted in the present forest being of sprout origin and of even- aged character. The treatment which such a woodlot needs first is a thin— ning to utilize the dying trees and those already dead but still sound. lic- sidcs utilizing material which would otherwise be wasted the thinning frees from crowding neighbors the better trees and accelerates their growth. if properly executed the rate of growth may be appreciably increased so lunch so that trees large enough for poles and ties can be produced in three- quarters of the time required by the untreated forest. "By allowing the, promising indivi- duals to develop unhindered a better grade of timber is provided in the stand regularly thinned than in an an touched forest. “No large gaps are (0 be made in the forest cover, its this would result in a decreased height growth: but the trees that remain standing should have only a foot or two of space between one another. “The amount of wood taken out in such a thinning often appears surpris- ingly large to the uninitiated. For ex- ample in a 35 or 40 years old stand 01' chestnut and oak running 25 cords to the acre. six cords per acre would be the average amotinl taken out in n thinning. The cover remains unbro- ken and the stand is left in butter growing condition than before tbc cut- ting. “The profitability of tliinnings do- peuds on the demand for cordwood and on the distance ‘(fl market. Us itally they yield -a profit: but at a (Iii-i- tam-c of over six miles from a mnrkct the. reverse may often bc true. Even though no direct financial return in sc- cured a thinning inadvisable for its effect. on the growth and development nod.

When the timber is large enough to make ties, piles, poles or lumber, which would occur in sprout woodlots between the t‘rieth to eightleth years, it should be cut. and Slilliliiillliliii iLillllli ilow Parent Fishes Take Care of Their Young—Modern Re- search Confirms Fish Stcry Originally Told by Aristotle Twenty-two Centuries Ago DASlilNG'l‘OX, May 29.~—Somc good fish stories are being told by Dr. Theodore N. Gill, professor of zoo- logy in the George Washington Uni- versity of.this city and international— ly famous through his work for the Smithsouian institution Dr. Gill has been making a special study of the habits of fish iii caring for their young. Affection is not supposed to be a fishy characteristic, but this expert has found that some of the finny tribcs acknowletige‘some of the responsibi- lities of parenthood. In the course. of this investigation Dr. Gill has had occasion to look into the manners and morals of a very cele~ bratcd Greek fish, the Giants, and to verify an antique description which for centuries was regarded as damag- ing to the veracity of the Greek philo- sopher Aristotle. The, results of this study have been published in the Na- tural and Physical Science Serics of the George Washington pnbllcat us. in one of those pamphlets which s "I've to call attention to the unique opportunities for special re- search which are offered at the nut- ional capital. An odd little fish is the Giants and one that has been the subject of much scicntific discussion. (‘cnturles ago Aristotle wrote this interesting para- graph which for litany ccnturlcs was regarded as distinctly u "fish story." "()l' the river fishes, the nitric Glnnis lakes great care of its young. For the fcmnlc, having brought forth, do parts, but the male, where the greatest deposit of eggs has been formed, re- mains by them watching, rcntlcring no otlicr service cxccpt keeping off the other fishes from destroying the young. lie docs this for forty or fifty days, until tin.I young are sufficiently grown to escape from the other fishes. And be. is known to the fishermen wherever he may t'huncc to be. wntt'lr ing his eggs: for he ltccps off the other fishes by rushing movcmcnts‘and by making a noise and moaning. And he remains by.thc eggs With so much of natural affection that tbc fishermen, when the eggs adhere to deep roots, bring them up to the snailowust placc they can; but he does not even then leave his oi'l‘spring, but if he chance to be a young fish. he is easily taken by the book, because lid snaps at all the fishes that approach him; but it be is already accustomed to this. and has swallowed books before. he does not even then'dcscrt his young. but breaks the book by a very strong bite." Because none of the fishes of north ern Europe have habits similar to those attributed to the Glanis the tics- cription was long regarded with sccp tlcism. in limb two of the greatest fish experts of the, last century, Cuvicr and Valeucieuues, wrote: ' “What Aristotle relates in detail. and in two passages, of the tutre‘which the male. Silurus takes of the eggs of his female borders a little. on the mar- velous. According to him, the large Silnri deposit them in deep water: the smaller among the mots of will w and other trees. among the reeds own the mosses. The female, hav laid them. leaves them, but the 1 male. guards and defends them, and, as the eggs are long in hatching, ho continu- cs this care forty or fifty days.“ It. was reserved for Professor Louis Agassiz. the one hundredth anniver~ snry of whose birth is about to be cc lebruled at Harvard University, to dis cover the real facts about. the Grecian fish. in 1856 through President Fel- ton of Harvard who was an enthusias tic student. the great naturalist receiv- ed a Glanis from the very same river where Aristotle had made his observa- tions. Agassiz’s trained eye at once discovered that the fish had been wrongly identified with the. Silurus faintly of northern Europe. A new name Glanis Aristotilis, was given to the species. A new interest, was arous- cd which resulted iu the naturalists‘ noticing that the care-taking habits of tho Glanls are similar to those. of the American cntfishes which are not of the same family or sub-family. Dr. Gill has now brought together in his contribution to the George Washington University series the known facts re~ gurdlug this particular fish. , In another publication he has recent- ly dcclopcd tiiauy other facts which tend to remove the impression that all fishes are indifferent to their eggs and young. lnuving ilicin entirely to the cure of Mother Nature. Oliver loldsmltli in l774 told his readers that fishes seem. all except the. whale kind, (-uitlrcly divested of those parental soli- cltudes which so strongly mark the. manners of the more perfect terrestlnl animals.“ But, Goldsmith, was no naturalist. ' he studies of the George Washington University expert have in fact shown that this action is for from the trnili and that although. of coursc‘ greater mtrcntui wntchfnlnons is ox- clscd among tbc higher animals. cvi- dour-cs of the sumo instinct arc to be found among many of the fishes. The most. common or frequent form of cure is verysimplc. it consists simp- Unlversity ‘ ture'l processes is to be noted. One of the catfishes of Queensland invar- iably noses and splashes and wishes up stones from the river by piling them in a heap over her 6353. Many American and African fishes, instead of laying their eggs in a particular spot and watching them while they hatch, actually carry them around in their months for weeks at a time. Again in South American streams a distant cousin to our catfish has a uni- que habit of attaching eggs in a mass to its skin. The cuticle of the fish then grows around them—“like the cups of acorns around the nut." In this way the eggs are carried and protected until they hatch. Some fishes' eggs, Dr. Gill states, are deposited in floating nests which in- volve rather skilful preparation. One of the most elementary forms is that of the coloredfishsof-Psradlse which by means of a sticky substance secreted in his mouth, makes a floating nest out of a mere conglomeration of air bubbles. Twigs and fallen leaves are employed by other fishes, producing a nest which looks like a mere bundle of river waste but which safely con‘ tains the precious eggs. A single species, the stickleback, is equipped with special web tasking organs to weave a binding thread for the motor- ials selected for the nest. in discussing the philophy of this rudimentary parental instinct among fish, Dr. Gill does not attribute its origin to a very high motive, however exalted it may become in its develop- ment among higher forms of life. At the dutsct. he says—“tho attitude of pareutlnl care must be regarded as an outcome of selfishness, or if you will. self love a result of the sense of pro- prietorship. The eggs are the fishes' own and, therefore, they and the re- sulting larvae are to be cared for as such." <1 anusrnruis p; HOYT’S THEATRE WEEK COMMENCING MONDAY, MAY 27. (Excepting Wednesday).
