Little Japan seems to have taken
hod OF the forestry question more in

Irrigated farms never wear out. 1t
may occur to farmers who are in the
habit of applying large quantities Of
manure and fertilizer to their lands and
raising only moderate crops, that where
irrigation is practised and immense
crops grown every season without inter
mission, either increased manuring is
necessary or in its absence, the land,
from the increased drain put upon it
will gradually lose fertility. This is
not shown to be the case however.
Where the irrixating water is drawn
from surface sspplies, it itself furnishes
an everlasting source, of fertility. The
lands irrigated by the Nile fads, are
OF SURPRISING richness and their tillers
never heard Of such things as crop ro-
tation, plowing under clover, manorinR.
or fertilizinR. The ancient irrigated
rice fields Of the Philippines. which
yield from four to six times the crop of
the dry-farmed sections, have never
known artificial fertiIizing, and in the
United States We have the evidence
of New Mexican farms which have been
under cultivation for 80 years and are
today as productive ~ virgin hand. Irri-
cation water l. both drink aud food.

Protect Our Food.

Z Q doctors inform It's that alum is a

sho Id be avoided because they make
tbet food unwholesome. Prominent
lhyy,enists, who have given the matter

ell that should he suppressed by state
action. In Minnesota and Wisconsin
ainm powders are not permitted to he
sold unless they are branded to warn
copsnmers of their true character, while
In the District of Columbia the author
tiles have under the direction of con-
gress, adopted regulations to prohibit
the use of alum in bread altogether.
Are not the people of other states, as
well as those Of Minnesota and Wiscou-
lsin, entitled to warning of danger
(which is apparently menacing them at
close hand, and is not the whole country
entitled to absolute protection. as the
people of the District of Columbia are
protected, by legislation which is entire
ly prohibitive?
i Until we can have protection in the
form of statute, how can our state
boards of health, state analysts or food
commissions better serve the public
than by publishing in the newspapers

Colorado's Need is Forestry.

C0lorado's Need is Forestry.
Colorado, more than any other stats
in the union, perhaps, is suffering from
the general ignorance OF Americans
concerning the object and principles Of
forestry. Nearly every resource in tie
state depends upon the preservation bf
the mountain forests, vet every year
sees vast tracts swept away BY iris
that might have been prevented; DIT
stroyed by insects that might have beeti
exterminated; or languishing because
of non-application of the scientific prin-
ciples of cultivation. In European
countries the study Of forestry has been
pursued for years, and America is now
in position to benefit by the expert
ence of Germany, France. Switzerland
and England.
In Europe trained fOresters have
reached marvellous degree Of skill In
their calling. They have taken into
consideration the composition Of the
soil; the relation of the trees to light;
the difference of temperature In the
forest; the qualities of the shade bear
ing and light demanding trees; the re-
productive power. and the rate Of
growth which determines the kind OF
tree thai is to survive. Destructive
numbering is also guarded against. and
the foreign methods Of forestry main
tain and increase both the productive.
ness and the value Of the forest land;
harvest the yield far more more COM
pletely than ordinary numbering. n
though less rapidly; prepare for, en-
courage and preserve the young growths
tend to keep out Hres. and In general
draw from the forest while at the same
time protecting 1t.
At Biltmore, N. c., the estate OF
George W. Vanderbilt, the principles of
forestry are applied in scientific man
ner, and other estates In different Sec
tions of the country are receiving the
benefits of the experience of imported
foresters. But what is needed in Amer
lea is a broader practice of the princi-
pies of forestry applied to the states
that are now in danger Of having their
producing power crippled by destruc-
tion of trees, through destructive lum-
bering Or through ignorance. The de-
partment of agriculture, in its forestry
department, is endeayoring to bring
about this consurnmation by the publi-
cation of plain treatises on the subject,
notably "A Primer Of Forestry" writ
ten by Clifford Pinchot. Inasmuch as q
great deal depends on the individual,
and especially the landowner, this liter
ature should be widely circulated, and
Colorado's representatives at Washing
ton will do much for the state by plac-
ing this departmental literature on for
estry in the hands of their constituents.

OF Mr.. and Mrs. Alex. Lothian Filed

of the survivor; and then provides for
the disposition of whatever may re-
