Early tree planting in Iowa as in all
the western and middle states was
done for windbreaks or ornamentation
and little thought was given to other
utility. Now the country is slow
ly waking up TO the value of careful
selection and advantage of farm
wood lot. The acreage of useful trees
is growing with the experience of the
farmer.
For several years the bureau of for
estry has been Investigating this sub
ject, with results which are recognized
throughout the prairie region as of
great practical value. The work con-
sists of field studies of the existing
forest growth both natural and
planted. of it's relation to soil and CHI
matte conditions. and of the effect of
various cultural methods.
In carrying on the work bureau field
parties examine and make measure
ments OF representative groves. From
these measurements volume and yield
tables are made which show the re-
turns in cordwood, posts stakes. and
lumber to be expected in a given time
for each of the species studied. In
addition to the measurements, the
characteristics of growth and repro
duction of the trees are noted. and
valuable data on the natural distribu-
ton and advisable planting range OBJ

JOHN HAY.

When the news OF Secretary John
Hays death shortly after midnight
this morning flashed over the wires. 1t
startled the country with it's sudden
ness like the shock Of an assassina-
ton. The worry of the country over
his condition had been abated ana
hone for his ultimate recovery awaken
cd by optimistic press dispatches.No
such sudden shock has been sustained
since Mckinley was struck down at
buffalo and the people are asking. az
they asked then in the midst of their
sorrow, how and by whom may his
place be filled?
It is hard to find comparison for
John Hay among statesmen. He had
brutality; all Disraeliis keeness and
grasp. without his unscrupulousness
Among living statesmen he had no
peer He was type. II Gladstone had
been an American he would have been
like Hay. Losing no just advantage
for his own country, Hay never for
got the responsibility OF the United
States to the world at large. A vein
Of altruism cropped out OF the granite
OF craftsmanship. His grasp of af-
fairs was world and the horizon
of his view never limited by shore
lines and boundaries. The elements of
Lincoln and Of Blaine mixed In him to
make him usefully great. He settled
International disputes as farmers set
tie controversies over line fence, by
the simple principles of justice that
should govern nations as individuals.
His plain, commonsense administration
OF his office reminds us that he was
Lincoln's secretary and friend and his
wide concept of world conditions that
he was contemporary with James G.
Blaine When history places John Hay
It will be upon narrow panel among
few names.
Hay was of the people, the descend
Scotland seeking the employment of his
adventurous trade, and whose son. fol-
lowing the example of his father, emil
grated to this country to serve in the
revolutionary war with distinction, and
found the family from which sprang
the dead secretary OF. state. John Hay
was born nearly 81 years ago at Salem.
Indiana, studied law and was admitted
to the bar in 1861 at Springfield, ILL
nois, where he formed the acauaint-
anoe of Abraham Lincoln. Hay went
to Washington with Lincoln as his Sec
rotary, and began his political career
under the great commoner. He was
secretary of legation in Paris five
years later, charge d'affaires at Wen
ma In '6S. and left the post of secretary
at Madrid in 1870 to become an ed-
tor on the New York Tribune. He was
Hayes first assistant secretary
of state plenipotentiary to Great Brit
ain under Mckinley, and appointed
secretary Of state in 1898. The Roose-
Welt administration inherited him from
Mckinley.

Gradually the wedge closes together,

stop flying about sunset, feeding on
