Respecting the white pine Professor Sargent says: " The entire supply grow ing in the United States and ready for the axe, does not to-day greatly, if at all, exceed 80,000,-000,000 feet, and this estimate includes the small and inferior trees, which a few years ago would not have been considered worth counting. The annual production of this lumber is not far from 10,000,000,000 feet, and the demand is constantly and rapidly increasing."

As the white pine is one of the most rapid growing of all the coniferae, it should not be lost sight of by those who are considering profitable forest planting.
