GOVERNMENT MEN AT WORK ON BROWN
MOUNTAIN, CALIFORNIA

Since November a gang OF men has been
scratching holes in the mountains, tossing pima
seed into the holes and covering them up Ten
derfeet have gone up into the mountains and
laughed at these men. Their undertaking looks
like affront to time-man with grub5ing
hoe impudently endeavoring to duplicate what
nature has taken ages to accomplish.
But this is not the first time that civiIiza-
ton has tweaked the beard OF the old man with
the scythe, telling MIN he's too slow Old
Father Time doesn't care. He'll live TO see the
trees grow up. flourish and die, which is more
than the planters will do. And the tree planters
don't mind being laughed at They are drawing
money from the United States Treasury eating
Agricultural Department beans and smoking to-
bacco furnished by the Department OF the In

special agents, T. P. Lukens and C. o. Sparks
