To Plow Up the Missouri.

opinion of G. Eacrett of Strahan. Ia..
who has unburdened his mind on the sub
ject of the improvement of that incor.
rigible stream, which has been bothering
him for years.
Mr.. Eacretts plan is to pillow up tie

boats of the heaviest draught might nay-

The Congressional committees had never
thought of this before, and the new in
land waterways commission, which lust
organized today. may take up the idea
for consideration more or less SERIOUSLY
The Eacrett idea. to go more into de-
tail, is to construct Il boat of light
draught, fitted out with Implements
something like a lister" pillow. which
is the kind used on big farms of The
west. to be fastened on long beams that
could be raised and lowered from the

USING UP OUR TIMBER SUPPLY.
Three Times as Much Timber Used Each
Year as the Forest Grows.

Every person in the United States is
using over SIX times as much wood as he
would use il he were in Europe. The
country, as whole, consumes every
year between three and four times more
wood than all of the forests Of the Unit
ed states grow in the meantime. The
average acre of forest lays Ut a store Of
onfy 10 cubic feet annually, whereas it
ought TO be laying IP a. least 80 cubic
feet in order to furnish the products tax

0O0,OO0,000 feet of timber have been cut
for lumber alone, including S000O.000.-

OF the total coniterous stumpage estimate
Of the census in 1880.
These are some of the remarkable
statements made in circular No. 81 of the
Forest service, which deals with the
timber supply of the United States, and
reviews the stumpage estimates made
by all the important authorities. \ study
Of the circular must lead directly to the
lconclusion that the rate at which forest
products in the United States have been
and are being consumed is far too lavish
and that only one result can follow UNI
less steps are promptly taken to prevent
waste in use and to increase the growth
rate of every acre of forest in the United
States. This result is timber famine
The country is today in the same posi-
ton with regard to forest resources as
was Germany $50 years ago. During this
period of 100 years SUCH German states
as Saxony and Prussia, particularly the
latter, have applied "A policy of govern
ment control and regulation which has
Immensely increased the productivity of
their forests. The same policy will
achieve even better results in the United
States, because we have the advantage
of all the lessons which Europe has
learned and paid for in the course of a
century of theory and practice.
Lest it might be assumed that the zap
id and gaining depletion of American
forest resources is sufficiently accounted
for by the increase of population. it is
pointed out in the circular that the in
crease in population since 1880 is barely
more than half the increase in lumber
