Unfortunately tht C unty Agent cju!d net accompany Mr. Curran, but from the. report made it was; shown that there was \ considerable quality of marketable timber now read^ to be cut and) should be taken out, Mr. Curran re ported further that the place ccn taincd cne of the most remarkablt growths of young ashe ?feat he hod seen in this State, and which, if thinned out, and the few mature trees removed with care, would doubt less return to Mrs. Sink $1,000 per acre more in come few years ltence. "When the local mill men visited this timber tract last year their idea was to cut over the growing timber" says Mr. Yeager, "and then have Mrs. Sink cut the rest of the timber, including this ycung ash for wood. Had this been done Mrs. Sink would ave received probably less than 10 per cent of thei; value cf her timber. Jnder our present plan the timber will be cut and marketed in an or lorly way ever a period of years, re turning to Mr:. Sink a steady and increasing income, and her forest will be preserved at the same time. 1 have no doubt but that there arc many other wccdlcts which might be handled in t!ie saiue manner." o o> SHOAL CREEK Wo arc glad to see our Sunday 3c o.l increasing with t!:e comihu >l spring. * \ Rev.
