Fortunes Lost by Forest Fires.

Mr.. J. H. Bissell of the
Michigan Academy of Sciences
has been making close
study of forestry in Michigan. What
he says about forest fires should set
every man to thinking. The lumber
product of Michigan is OF immense
value. Mr. Bissell claims that the val
ue of pine and hardwood lumber that
has already been cut in that state
amounts to $2,649,175, 900. In addi-
ton to this, since numbering in the
state began. forest fires have de-.
stroyed pine and hardwood to the
value of 1859, 100000. This is sum
about equal to our national debt. It
is loss sustained in a single state Of
the union. Is it any wonder, there.
fore, that students Of public econom-
les are asking our legislators every
where to pass laws that will prevent
forest fires?

Nomenclature of App! $


Many man tries to alake himself
familiar with the apples that are
grown In this country, The skilled
horticultural feels pride in recogniz-
Ing the different varieties of apples at
sight, and this is pardonable, for 1t is
one OF the things the public supposes
him to know. 1t is always humilia-
ton to him to be unable to tell the
name OF an apple that is brought to
him him or to misname It. But those that
have made careful Investigation of
the matter have come to the conclu.
sion that no matter how much a man
may study apples. 1t is practically i'm.
possible for him to know all the varie.
ties so well that he can tell each one
at sight and not make q mistake.
There are over 1000 varieties in gen.
eral cultivation at the, present time.
It would be difiicult task to learn
the names of these and their descrip.
tons.
But what Is worse, these apples have
among them over $4,000 names, as w.
H. Ragan Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture assured the writer.
Mr.. Ragan Is the author Of large
bulletin that has recently been issued
by the government on this matter. Mr..
Ragan is the government expert on
genealogical nomenclature, and we
doubt 1t any man in the country has
put as many years of work on this sub
ject as has he. Yet We doubt very
much II even Mr.. Raglan would be able
to recognize some Of the old varieties
that appear ct our fairs and. winter
horticultural meetings. II an apple
always held its form and color It would
be different, but the forms and colors
change in accordance with varying con.
ditions.
One of the best known growers Of
apples in Illinois was showing the
writer through his orchard when he
came TO q Wealthy tree. that. bore ex-
ceptionally large apples. The fruit
looked much more like the Wolf River
than like the Wealthy, yet there was
no doubt about them being Wealthiss.
Mr.. Soverhill said that for some time
after; the tree came into bearing he
held to the Belief that the.tree was
the Wolf River. This illustrates the
way In which fruits change under
varying conditions. Mr.. Soverhill also
related q little incident that occurred
several years ago. There was dis
pute among some fruit judges at fair
as to certain plates that were sup.
posed to be Wealthies They were in
fact Wealthies, but the best judges
did not believe some of them to be So
Mr.. Soverhill picked apples from three
parts OF the same Wealthy tree and
brought them to the judges. Some
had grown in open sunshine, some in
the shade and others varied in size.
He asked the experts to name the ap-
pies, and they promptly gave them
three different names. He surprised
them by telling them that the apples
were all taken from the same tree and
that it was Wealthy.
The man that tries to learn all about
apples Is engaged in laudible under
taking, but he has taken upon himself
task without end, especially so as
new varieties are being continually
brought out by nurserymen as we'll as
by enthusiasts that are ambitious to
make record as originators OF popu-
lar fruits.
