BEGINNING OF
FORESTRY.
First Government Reservation
Of Trees Was Live Oaks
For Navy.
Had It's Start While Washington Was the
Father Of His Country.

/ DeSlu Iile pTaCUlCe OF forestry
Few persons can answer this
question correctly Most people
are of the opinion that the be-
ginning of forestry in this coun-
try was of very recent origin,
and that the first 5 ep in that
direction was taken among the
mountains of the far West.
Neither fact is correct.
While Washington was serv-
ing his first term as President of
the United States, a recommen-
dation came to him that the
governmeTt ought to buy live
oak islands on the coast of
Georgia to make sure of supply
of ship timber for war vessels.
The idea appears to hare origi-
mated with Joshua Humphreys,
whose official title was "Con-
structor of the United States
Navy" although about the only
navy then existing was made up
of six ships on papers, and not
one stick of timber to build
them had yet been cut. The
vessels were designed to fight the
north African pirates.
Five years after the recon-
incubation was made Congress
appropriated money to buy live
oak land. Grover and Black
beard islands on the coast of
Georgia were bought fer $685.
500. They contained 1850
acres.
Louisiana was bought soon
after, and in 1917 the Six
Islands, of $4,000 acres, and
containing 81, 900 live oak trees,
were withdrawn from sale, and
set apart as a reserve. In 1925,
Congress appropriated $4,000 to
buy additional live oak land on
Santa Rosa Sound, western
Florida, and subsequently other
Florida timberlands, aggregat-
ing 1924 acres were reserved.
Up to that time nothing more
had been done than to buy or
reserve land for the timber
growing naturally upon it; but
the work was to be carried fur
Their upon the Santa Rosa pur-
chase. The plan included plant
ing, protecting, cultivating, and
live oak for the Navy.
The timber was then considered
indispensable in building war
vessels. Much had been said !
lnd written of the danger of ex-
laustion OF supply. Settlers de-
itroyed the timber to clear land,
md European nations were buy
ng large quantities for their
lavies. In response to repeated |
the Government finally |
ook steps to grow timber for its
,wn use.
Young oaks were planted on
he Santa Rosa lands. Difficulty
vas experienced i'm inducing
'oung trees to grow. The sue
'essful transplanting of the oak
S not easy, unless done at the
proper time and in the right
way. The plantations at Santa
Rosa were generally unsuccess-
III; but large quantities of
.corns were planted and fair
proportion of them grew. But
he chief efforts were directed
o pruning, training, aud caring
or the wild trees. Tickets
.bout them were cut away to
ct in air and light.
What the ultimate success of
he forestry work would have

Chicago's Smoke Problem.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
 Chicago's harbor practically will be freed from smoke this summer if the city department of smoke inspection can ac- complish this feat. Tugboat men especial Iy will be asked to do their share in putting in smoke reducers and consumers, and all steamship owners and shippers will be informed of what the commission hopes to accomplish in the harbor and will be asked to cooperate.
 ''The smoke problem in the harbor is one of the most serious difficulties that confronts us at this tlme' said Thomas E. Donneley. chairman of the comms- sion. Last year we undertook to abate the smoke nuisance there, but we were compelled to give most of our time to the solution of the problem presented by the railroads. This spring and summer we will have more time to work out the so- luton in the harbor, and we hope before the summer is far advanced to have elim- mated at least the worst of the evils arising from the smoke of vessels coming in and going out of Chicago"

Bees swsrminq Have Scouts.

Swarms of bees are sometimes COM
PEELED to take refuge in very remark
able shelters. A peculiar and instruc-
tive instance was observed by the
writer one spring. The swarm few
over large vineyard which contained
few buildings. One OF these buildings
was constructed Of hollow concrete
blocks. The swarm Jew directly to-
ward a small hole 10 one of the blocks
and disappeared in the interior No
doubt the swarm had rested on tree
or shrub on the preceding day and
had sent out scouts to seek a home.
The scouts found the little hole lead
ing into the great cavity OF the con-
crete block and reported their discov-
cry TO their comrades. This case fur
nishes indisputable proof that swarm
ing bees really send out scouts. as
they are believed to do. for the little
hole could not have been discovered in
the rapid and lofty flight OF the
swarm - Scientific American.
