1806 marked an increase of 93,000
cords In the imports of pulpwood, the
highest average value per cord for all
kinds, and a consumption greater hy
469,053 cords than that of any previous
year.
New York alone consumes each year
over a million and a quarter cords of
wood in the manufacture of pulp, or
more than twice as much as Maine,
which ranks next. Wisconsin, New
Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Michi-
gan follow in the order 'given. Sixty
per cent of the wood used in New
York was imported from elsewhere,
and even so the supply appears to be
waning, since the total consumption
for the state shows a small decreasc
since 1905, whereas the other states
named have all increased their con-
sumption. Other states important in
the production of pulp are Massachus-
etts, Minnesota, Ohio, Oregon, Ver-
mont, Virginia and West Virginia.
The average coBt of pulp delivered at
the mill was $7.21. The total value of
the wood consumed in 1906 was $26,-
400,000 The chief item determining
the price of paper is the cost of pulp
An example of the increased price of
paper is found in the case of a pub-
lisher of a dally in the middle west,
who recently paid $1,200 for a carload
of paper. The same quantity and

Washington. March 5.—The Oklaho-
ma congressional delegation is elated
over the decision of the house repub-
lican leaders that there shall be a
public building bill at this session,
even though it is intended that the bill
shall be only a small one carrying in
all no more than fifteen million dollars.
All of the oklahoma delegation had
introduced bills, several of which they
knew were hopeless at the time of
thedr introduction. The bills intro-
duced by Oklahomans were as fol-

drying winds; cover the roots with
moist, mellow, surface soil''and tramp
firmly.
Set the busies at least Ave feet
apart in one or two more rows, as
convenient. •
Pinch oft' any blossoms which may
form the first year, that the plants
may not waste their vigor trying to
produce fruit.
Do not allow adjoining crops to en-
croach upon the bushes. To ensure
good growth, it is best to give clean
thorough cultivation from early spring
till abouj midsummer, after which the
bushes should mature their canes for
winter.
The fertility of the soil about the
bushes may be most economically
maintained by constant applications of
barnyard manure. Unleachea wood
