INTELLIGENT AMERICAN CoNsuLs.

INTELLIGENT AMERICAN CONSULS.
The American consular service is being
bitterly attacked in some parts of Europe
because of the information furnished by
the consuls to the American manufac
turers in their official reports to Wash
ington. It is charged shat much valuable
and inside information is thus convey
ed to and utilized by American manu-
facturers who thereby succeed in forcing
the foreign manufacturers to the wall IN
their own peculiar field. There is some
wild newspaper talk of excluding Ameri-
can consuls from the foreign commercial
bodies and chambers, and even of giving
them no recognition whatsoever.
was improved by a Democratic president
it was a national reproach and the laugh
ing stock of Europe. Consular reports
were regarded as so much waste paper,
and the service was the last resort for
broken-down politicians Now the consul
lar reports are creditable publications,
containing much practical and useful in
formation. Advance sheets are issued for
the benefit of the merchants and manu-
facturers. prior to the issue OF the regular
bound publications, and in this way the
information is not stale when it reaches
the people who are interested IN it.
If foreign nations want to protect their
manufacturers from the encroachments of
American manufacturers and merchants,
they must be able to sell the right kind of
goods, of better quality and cheaper than
those offered by the American manufac-
turers. All the consuls in the service
could not cause damage to their trade
when they can do this.

rNFAIR TO oLEoMARGAR1hn

Prof. Munroe one of the government
chemists at Washington, in a recent in
terview, takes occasion to sound the
praises Of oleomargarine and he declares
he favors "all synthetic foods as best
meeting the requirements of the human
system He says hehas found the animal
fat used in the oleomargarine factories
not only deodorized, sterilized, chemi-
cally pure and kept on ice but also pre-
senting the most appetizing appearance"
Personally, he says, he prefers to use
''oleo, and recommends it to his friends
because he believes it is not SO liable to
be contaminated as butter.
This is all right ii the professor is sin
cere. If he prefers deodorized and ster-
ilized animal fat to fragrant creamery
butter, let him use It, 1t is one of the
inalienable rights of the American cit
izen to use oleomargarine If he wants to
do so. But it is another inalienable right
possessed by the American people that if
they prefer butter they may eat butter
just 50 IOilS dS lHey can Duy II. And 1t
is also their right and one on which they
insist, that when they pay their hard
earned money for butter they shall
be given butter. and not deodorIzed ami
NAL fat, however appetizing it may look
To prevent being served by INSCRIPTIONS
tradesmen with animal fat when they
buy butter, the people demand as "a
measure of protection from fraud that
oleomargarine shall not be colored to imi-
tate butter, but shall have its own natu-
raj color, or the absence of color.
If "oleo" is all that Prof Munroe
claims for it, there can surely be no OBJ
lection to selling it as "oleo" under its
own proper color. If it is so superior to
butter, it must be degrading to honest
"oleo" to be 'faked up, until it resem-
bles butter IN. appearance Give "oleo"
a fair chance on its merits, and don't ruin
good ''oleo" by making. it resemble bad
butter.

THE CENTER OF THE LOCUST IN
DUSTRY.

Where do the locusts breed, and where
is the center of their incubatory? The
Rocky Mountain locust Is referred to; the
winged destroyer that is alleged to allow
seventeen years to intervene between its
visits. Some time ago the opinion WIS
expressed that the breeding ground was
in the Turtle mountains of North Dakota
and Southern Manitoba, but ves!igation
has proved that the Turtle mountains,
though low in their habits. are not so
low as to harbor locusts.
The primary boarding house of the To-
| Gust is probably like the magnetic pole,
the center of population, the center of the
wheat or corn belts, in that it Is migra-
tory. The magnetic pole was once located
near James bay, but it has since fled. The
center of population was once at st. Joe.
Mo-. but now it rs in the vast suburbs Of
St. Paul. The wheat belt is travelling

And so the locust hatchery do move.
No doubt it was once located in the vast
desert west of the Ohio river; then It lied
beyond the Mississippi; thsnce westward )
and northwards lowell, perhaps it was
once in the Turtle mountains, whose
snow-capped peaks are scarcely visible
above the level of the surrounding prai-
ries, and are only snow-capped in win
ter. But at the present time we nave rea
son to believe. and do verify believe, tina
the head center of the locust industry IS
in the Touchwood hills. No local p idc or
industry is damaged by the allegation
True, there is an aged and irrepressible
Indian chief named Piapot dwelling with
| his band in that locust-infested waste,
but he cannot resent the SANDER on his
| beloved hills because he will probably
never hear of it, and wouldn't care II he
did. So long as he gets his "a ions regu-
larly from the government, PiapOt does
not care if the United States agricultural
department reports fill his native hills
with ella monsters. 1t is, therefore, wise
| to locate the locust center In the Touch

where there dwell none but indians 1t

IMPRACTICAL FORESTRY.

The question of forest cultivation and
prevention of waste of timber is one
which possesses peculiar interest to the
people of Minnesota. The northern part
of this state was once thickly covered
with forests of virgin pine, but much of
the old forest area is now almost a tree
less waste, having been denuded of its
timber by lumbermen
Efforts have for many years been made
to bring about the replanting of much of
this land with pine and other trees,
through state or. government means, and
the study Of forestry has been encour-
aged by the State Forestry association
and other channels in order to encourage
private enterprise in this direction.
The fact that no concerted action look
ing towards the replanting of the cut
over" lands in Minnesota has yet been
successfully inaugurated is due to sew
eral causes. First, there is lack of knowl-
edge and interest in forestry; second,
there is the fact that the reurns from
tree planting are very slow; and the
third cause is the dissemination of con-
fusing and misleading information The
first cause is being gradually removed;
the second can be overcome by the state
or the federal government taking the
matter in hand, but the third cause is
difficult to remove. For instance, the
Pioneer Press of May 1 published what
purported to be a special telegram from
Ithaca, N. Y, which contained these
statements; Forestry in Switzerland has
for its main object the prevention of
avalanches, and to protect the young
trees from avalanches stone walls are
built around them. There is nothing to
be feared from avalanches in Minnesota,
for the reason that We have no noun
tains for avalanches to descend, but in
Washington, Oregon, Western Montana
lanches in plenty, and any one who has
seen the vast snow slides in those states,
which shave the mountain sides to the
bed rock and shave off the mammoth
pines ana cedars as though they were
corn stalks. viii be under the impression
that tree planting is not useful in check
ing the descent of the American ava
lanche, however it may work on the
hillocks of Switzerland
Another statement made in the article
is that swampy regions may be dried up
by tree planting. This does not agree
with the teaching that trees increase hu-
Nudity and rainfall and prevent the evap-
Grafton of moisture from the soil.
Equally as confusing is a third state
ment that trees should be planted on
every important watershed to prevent
freshets. How do they prevent freshets?
Is it by holding the water back within
the forest area, and. Il SO, how does that
