The Division of Forestry will con-
tinue the investigation of Pacific
coast timber begun last summer,
and several parties will start in June
or earlier for the Redwood belt of
California and the Red Fir forest of
Washington. The object is to COM
pare the reproduction with the pres
ent depletion and to investigate the
possibility of reforesting logged-off
land. There will be from fifteen to
twenty-five men in each state.
Most of the work will be done by
young college men under the di-
rection of Government forest ex-
perts. The research will be carried
on in pursuance of system which
undertakes by ascertaining the rate
of growth and general life history
of an existing forest to foretell the
behavior of a future one growing
under like conditions. Measure
ments will be made and the age
found of several thousand trees in
the logging districts, and large
tracts will be cruised and surveyed
to find the stand of timber in vary.
ing situation. BY measuring and
counting the annual rings of a tree
at several sections, an expert can
determine not only its age but a,
what stage it grew fastest, when il
reached maturity, and the exaci
amount Of wood added during any
period. By obtaining these figures
for large areas it will be possible &c
compute the time necessary to raise
successive crops in the Pacific tim.
Der regions. This work will be
especially valuable to owners oI
timber lands who are in doubt as &c
the profit of paying taxes on thei,
property after it has been logged.

When the foolish man wants to
buy or sell anything he rides all
over the country in all sorts Of

puts few lines i'll the newspaper,

has horse or COW or anything else
to sell, there is always some other
man somewhere who is wanting to
buy the thing, but these two men

finding each other. Advertising

The following is clipped from a
paper published in North Montana:
From the little town of Havre, a

intelligence that the editor of this

editor is not prepared to draw on
his celestial bank account Just now

A plant to make syrup and vim
egar from watermelous is to be es-
tablished at North Yakima, with
a capacity for handling the melons
from 100 acres in the canning sea-
son. 1t is said that one acre in
watermelous will produce five times
the syrup that can be produced from
one acre of sorghum. In saccharine,
the juice of the melon is richer
than cane juice. To obtain the
best results, the melon rind must
be removed, and the ripper the melon
the better.

1t is reported that even a larger
