10 INTEND 10 get a cOn crop!
l am very far from wanting to discuss the supplies of standing
timber or the prospect of a timber famne-questons with which the
lumbermen are more familiar than am; but it is perfectly obvious that
the lumber trade is falling back year by year o poorer material and
longer hauls, and that the question Of its continuance is already de-
handing IN answer.
This is purely a business proposition, to be considered, accepted, or
rejected on a business basis. Forestry deals with the forest in some
ways with which the lumbermen have but an indirect interest. am
not talking now about the effect of forests on the flow of streams, on
winds, or on the general prosperity-matters of vital importance in
their places; but the question want to bring is simply this: Is it worth
the lumbernen's while, from a commercial point of view, to consider
the forest a a part of their plant, and from that point of view should
they cut off their timber and let the land go back for taxes?
The bureau of forestry offers certain assistance to lumbermen in
preparing the basis upon which such questions can be most inteLi-
gently decided. What it does is simply to put a certain amount of
trained skill at their command. They pay the expense and we prepare
for them the necessary figures. The way we do it is to send a man to
the spot who finds out what there is on the ground, with special
reference to the smaller szes-how fast each diameter class of trees
grows, how much will be left of certain sizes after cutting out others,
and how much will be standing to the acre after a definite number of
years. We put the thing purely and entirely on a business basis.
These methods of forestry are not at present as fully applicable
everywhere in the United States as they will be later on, and it is as
far from me as possible to want to urge any man to adopt the methods
of forestry unless they are going to pay. The arrangement we make
wifi timber owners is never that they shall be compelled to apply the
plans we submit, but always that they shall apply them or not as they
find it wisest to do. | would be exceedingly sorry if any man should
take up a proposition in forestry and apply it if he was not confident
it would turn out well, because this is not a question of a few DAYS or
merely for present conditions.
There has been too long a feeling that the foresters were trying to
force the lumbermen to do something or other against the lumbermen's
will. think it is time for the lumbermen to give the bureau Of forestry
a chance to do some things which they would like to have it do.

NUT CROP BREAKS RECORD.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, September 20.
Missouri is going to break an
other record this year with a
bumper nut crop. There will be
nuts to crack for every man
woman and child in the State.
For several years the crop has
been short, and, as a consequence,
the quotation on the general mar.
ket has been close around the
$3.50 per bushel mark. This sea-
son the hickory trees are loaded
and even the hazel bushes along
the roadside are fairly clustered
with nuts. The market price has
not yet been established on hickory
nuts, but the dealers predict a big
trade after the first goodsfrost and
it Is believed that shellbark varie.
ties will start in at from so to &C
cents per bushsl. The hazel nut
crop will be a bumper.

SLACK GIRLS.

The girl who at the window waits,
with idle hands and dreamy look;
Who, by her actions, says she hates
The household work OF maid or cook;
Who lets her mother work away
While she INDUCES in a play;
However refined that girl may be,
There's much that's lacking-don't you see
The girl whose recitations show
No earnest work or careful thought;
who fails In what she ought to know,
When skillful test OF work is brought,
That girl will fail to win the prize
WIN fail while earnest workers rise
A grand success she'll never be,
There's too much lacking-don't you see?

ing preliminary or preparatory to professional training should come TO
its end by the time the young men re Fl years old.
The principle on which the Harvard faculty has acted is this
They propose, in reducing the time required for the A. B. degree to
three years, to make no reduction whatever in the amount of work re-
CURED for the A. B. degree. In other words, they propose that the
degree of A. B, taken in three years, shall represent the same amount
of attainment o power acquired, which the A. b. taken in four years
has heretofore represented.
While this change was going on in Harvard college, the uni
versty took the important step of requiring the A. B. for admission to
its three oldest professional schools, first in the divinity school. then
in the law school, and lastly in the medical school. 1t had already
established the graduate school in arts and sciences, for admission to
which a preliminary degree was, of course, required. 1t is un
necessary to point out that this action gives the strongest possible sup
port to the A. B. If taken by the universities of the country at large
