the prosperity of the commonwealth
here we especially need a better supply
OF hard woods adapted to our climate.
We need forests upon the alkali lands
and upon the treelCss mountain slopes.
No State in the Union offers a broader
field tor Intelligent forestal agencies than
does California.
When the State University, only
eighteen months ago, assumed control of
the two forestry stations of the State-at
Chico and Santa Monica-it was felt to be
great step toward an efficient forestry
system for the State. The commission
system had been so utter failure that no
California newspaper would suggest try
ing 1t again, nor would any individuals,
except few members of the old Board Of
Forestry or the recipients of their favors.
The story OF that board is an unpleasant
chapter In our civic history.
The university, assuming control,
placed the two forest stations in its circi g
OF experiment stations. Zach station
has a local trustee called patron; each
Is visited i've or six times a year by an
inspector, and also receives visits from
the professors of the Agricultural De-
partment, and the chief director; all con-
sutute working part of the univ versity.
1ne hrsG aim OF the university authori-
ties was to restore the wasted and neg
lected stations, to label the unlabeled
trees, to create records, for none had been
Kept; to replace tools which had disap-
peared, and purchase others as needed.
Two competent toremen were placed in
charge, and the work of reorganization
has steadily progressed, until both sta
LlonS are now sources of local pride.
The State University desires to carry
on this work, and also to establish d
third station on the $500 acres OF Mount
Hamilton, rising from 2.400 feet altitude
TO +, 100 feet. Much of this land is pre- =
emlnently adapted for hardwood forests
and tor skilled illustrations of cOppice,
high coppice and mixed high forest
after the most approved European ex-
perience. a hundred acres can be de-
voted to cork oak forest, which will in
time become very profitable to the State.
A bill has been introduced in the Legis-
lature appropriating $4,000 to carry on
1or two years the two stations already es-
tabllshed. and to begin work at the third
proposed station. This sum includes the
estimate for some necessary cheap build
lngs at Chico and Santa Monica and the
outfit required at Mount Hamilton.
There is now in Congress bill which
the unlversity's friends expect to pass,
establishing at Washington q National
School OF Forestry and granting to each
agricultural college under the Morrill,
Act the sum Of $1,000 annually to main
tain Professorship of Forestry and in
Drlef forestry department. This money
must be spent in teaching, in lectures
and in appliances. The passage of the
Dill approprlating $4,000 for the Cali
1ornla forest stations has thus become of
very great importance to the State as it
Will greatly aid the success of the pro-
posed School OF Forestry and will un-
doubtedly lead to additional aid as re-
quired from the National Government,
especially in the Sierras.

RoLL-CALL OF ATTACHES.
Ewing offered a resolution directing

certify daily list of absentees from roll
roll TO the Sergeant-at- alarms, and in
structing the latter not to allow such ab-
sentees pay for that day.
Dixon moved to amend by making the
roll-call commence at s A. NJ, so that the
Clerk could get through with the army of
attaches before the time for the Assem-
bly, to convene.
Brusie objected to the roll call for three
reasons: First, that it would take up the
time of the House; secondly, that the rule
was not large enough to cover the SUBJ
ject; and thirdly, that the public would
have an opportunity to know the magni-
tude OF the army of attaches.
The rules were suspended and the reso-
luton adopted.
AT P. NJ, on motion of Dixon, the
Assembly adjourned.

California Forestry svstem

Every Intelligent American citizen ba-
gins to recognize the necessity of trained
technical skill in the maintenance and
restoration of our forests. The trouble
with our present national reservation
system is that, while it withdraws large
areas from settlement, it does not as yet
provide for the careful, continuous man
agement of these areas according to the
principles of modern forestry, modified
and adapted to American requirements.
The greater part of the opposition mani
tested to the Sierra reservations, is be-
cause the sheep men and cattle men do
not understand that if those forests are
managed by skilled foresters, they will
ultimately furnish fully as much pastur-
age as they do now. Pasturage is one of
the legitimate sources of revenue under
scientific forestry SYSTEM but it must be
strlcti iy controlled and regulated. In
forest management for profit las our
Sierra forests should be managed) the in
discriminate growth of young trees is not
desired; seeding is best allowed at def
mite intervals, and often for long terms of
years pasturage tunder proper supervi-
SION may be both useful and desirable.
Forestry in California differs in minor
particulars from forestry elsewhere; the
objects are the same-to furnish a con-
tinuous yield of wood materials and to
protect the water supplies SO essential to

G. n. Post thought that the average
jury hated to convict in such cases with a
heavy fine. With a small fine they
would convict. People unfortunately
look very leniently on offenses against
the game law.
}. NJ. Morrison asked Mr.. Post if the
cost of conviction was large. If the ex-
penses exceeded the amount of the fine,
he thought Justices would throw many
cases out or court. The Justice is apt to
lntllct the lowest fine possible.

PLANT Niorsi. CoIsN.

The Montgomery Advertiser advises

more corn" 1t believes corn is TO be

is lead to this opinion because the des.
titution of the farmers out West, ow.
ing to crop failures last season, COM
PEELED many to abandon their farms
and others having no money to buy
seed, have been able to plant only that
which was furnished by the State.
Our contemporary concludes that
these conditions are sufficient to make
decided reduction in the crop, aud
now that the Western section of the
country has been visited by saud aud
snow storms, 1t is more probable that
the shortage will be greater than was
hrst anticipated These are oil reason.
able propositions aud Will doubtless
have their weight.
The Advertiser, in urging the plant
ing OF more corn, makes point which,
along with what it has before said on
the subject, very properly says: by
taking advantage of the misfortunes OF
our Western brethren we will be III a
condition at harvest time to send them
few train loads of provisions and con
