not sufficient for all species; the ex- cessive evaporation also limits plant distribution. Trees have been killed in seasons of severe drought. The bullG, tin deals in detail with the two forest types of the region, the valley type and the pine type, and with the process of reproduction, by which they maintain themselves. This study is followed by an explanation of the working of the natural forces by which the forest con tinues to extend itself. The tables con tained in the bulletin make it possible to learn how land now given over to stock can be made, in comparatively few years, to produce a stand of trees whose value will exceed the accumu- lated rents as pasture.

BACK TO THE FARM"

William Borsodi Urges Secretary
 wilson to Sound the Slogan.
 In an open letter on "the crying need of the country" addressed to Secretary Wilson, William Borsodi, editor of the National Advertiser, says it is becom- ing more and more an acknowledged truth that the prosperity of the world depends upon successful farming.
 Tt is my earnest hope" he tells the secretary of agriculture, that you, even if you should not be your own successor, will get the credit due to the pioneer in great movement which has as its slogan Back to the farm"
 He says that the tendency of popula- ton to flock to the already congested cities is menace to the prosperity of America, as it is to that of England, and goes on:
 "In this new country, however. there has really been more reason for this influx into the larger centers of popula- tion than there has been in Eugland. Much of the brain and nerve power which Is so great force in the cities of this country was originally nurtur- ed on the farm.
 "The time has come, however. when the farms need to retain much of that same ability which it has heretofore given so profusely to the city. The twentieth century will be a period in which the farmer should be universal ly recognized as the king among the workers who bring benefit to mankind. The young man and the young woman will find 1t profitable as well as pleas urabIe to stick. to the farms or to leave the crowded cities for the country. where one with small capital may more easily secure credit and a com potency and can have in these days better opportunities as to the right kind of socisl life than that which Is concomitant with limited means in the city.
 The superiority of country life in relation to the raising of families will be recognized by all thoughtful people. and the happiness of being near to ns- lures heart will be considered as truer and better than the pleasure which the city affords

AN OLD TIME BALL

Society Function to Be Held in New
 York-Ghost Dance a Feature.
 Arrangements are being made to give New York a real old fashioned Knick- erbocker ball-one representing the people and the period of the early years of Manhattan's settlement, says the New York Times. Its invitation list is to include the old line arlstoc- racy of New York, and its tone Is to be exclusive. Weymer Jay Mills. who is a descendant of the Jay family and who is a member of the City club, B planning it and intends holding the ball in the old Astor House downtown, where the Vans and Tens back in the thirties danced and dined in what was then the heart of the metropolis. The old Astor House hasn't had a full tiedged ball for many years.
 Historical color will be given the af- fair through the costumes of the men and women who will attend. The men will wear the orthodox evening coat and trousers. with straps about the instep to hold the trousers over spat- ted boots. This will be set of with the fluffy frilled shirt and the broad tie of the years gone by. The women will be expected to wear the hoopskirt and old fashioned waist. with hair dressed after the style of the period.
 The intention is to hold the ball in the main dining room of the Astor House It is probable that the dance will take place some time in March or April. It is said that while many fam ilies of New YOrk's best society will attend the invitation list will be linn ited to the families whose ancestors were among the early settlers of the city. The ballroom will be decorated appropriately. and the supper menu will be as nearly as possible like those of the early years of the last century in New York.
 Another picturesque incident is to be a ghost dance" Promptly at 12 o'clock on the night of the ball the ball room will be darkened. and a dance in memory of the beIIes and beaus who were there so many years ago will be given. The dining room Of the old As tor House. used as a dancing hall. has been the scene of many famous social events. It was here that the Prince ue JoinvilIe of France was entertained in the early forties-
