FOREST STUDY PLOTS TO MT rs
TADLISHED ny STATE FOR
EST SERVICE

The science of silviculture which IL the
foundation for the business of forestry,
is SO new In this country that II is
practically an UNEMPLOYED field. The
American forester In prescribing treat
mont for certain kind OF forest. Ia
obliged to rely very largely upon the
experience Of European foresters. an
experience which has been gained in
forests quite different from ours
The practicing physician can very soon
get the result of hts medicines and profit
thereby. but the development Of forests
Is such that a number Of years nre
required to test any form OF manage
ment.
One Of the most important lines Of
work for the state forest service is
therefore, to establish series of cx-
pcrimcnts in different parts of the state,
which shall bear on the proper man
agement Of our varions kinds of forests
In the matter Of plantations for cx-
ample there is not only call for expert
ments with different species but with
different distances of spacing. Shall We
plant the sand plains OF tho Cha mplan
valley with pines eight feet apart as adj
vocatcd by some, six feet az advocated
feet as In many parts Of Germany?
Even more numerous are the problems
connected with the proper management
and harvesting Of our forests. The
movement for the better management
Is slow IN growing. II Is desirable thai;
by the time Il i. we'll under way we shall
have definite knowledge TO act upon,
just as the engineer who builds bridge.
seeding Of our land by having three or
four seed trees TO the acre or should
there be more? Does It. matter whether
these trees are above or below the area
to be seeded on a slope: or to the east
or west OF 1t on a level place. II We
have under an old forest of hardwoods
lot Of little spruce or pine that have
been growing very slowly. will these re-
cover their growing capacity when the
ha rdwoods are cut or are they stunted
beyond hope? These are only samples
OF the innumerable problems which mus,
be worked out before American forestry
Is on a basis such as exists In Europe
To help solve some Of the these prob
lens the state forest service in coop
Grafton with the experiment station Is
establishing a series OF permanent sam
PIE plots, each bearing on some par
ticular problem. These will be establish
ed on private lands wherever some par
ticularly interesting problems suggest
themselves, and where the owners arc
willing to guarantee that they will not
be disturbed during five years, providing
they retain ownership Any land own
ers who have the woodlands offering op-
portunities OF his kind. can do much for
tho advancement OF forest knowledge in

SUNDAYS ACCIDENTS WITH MOTOR

(From the Springfield Reporter)
The Monday morning newspapers
have Rruesome decoration for their
front pages In the many automobile
accidents, which added to the Sunday
drownings-17 recorded in one Boston
paper this week--make the day Of
rest a CHASTITY one in many homes.
However. people don't quit railroading
because Of the wrecks, but cheerfully
argue that more people are killed by
falling out of third story windows.
And as the life saving reports show
a17s deaths by drowning in June
alone. motoring is not the most dam
Eerous OF American sports
However. the big motor ear becomes
more and more of n problem and
there Is growing number Of men
who take chances freely. which IL
rather rough on that section OF tho
American public not classed as 10Y
Yiders. A writer in the outlook quotes
q railroad engineer that II Is a more
responsible Joy to drive an automo-
bile than a locomotive. II is a ma
chine of life and death, TO be handled

fellow who takes gambling risks with
life should be relegated to the one

Were the suddenly reversed atti-
tude of the corporation genuine, the in
evitable inference would be that the
corporation has lost its pontifcal posi-
ton in the industry, and that in the
last analysis would mean an intrinsic
weakening of the company's securities.
Even as it is, Chicago at least looked
askance at steel common. That issue
was given the go-by on what was
called bargain days. People who had
been confronted with direct evidence
of jockeying on the part of the com
pany preferred to purchase other
stocks. Playing the market to in
fiuence legislation they thought might
be condoned in an American Tobacco
company, or an American Sugar COM
pany, but it would not do for an in
ternational Investment, which the steel
corporation has striven to be.
Financially, the concern became more
or less of a suspect. All the early
preJudices against 1t were revived. One
