PRACTICE FORESTRY
Six Hundred Years Ago Switzerland
PractiCed Forest PrOte tiOn
SPRUCE MOST IMPORTANT TREE
In Switzerland-LaW Provides "FOrest Area
Shall Not be Diminished.


Switzerland recognized the benefits
of forest protection and development
600 years ago when the forest ordi-
nance of Bern was issded. The
| Sihlwald of Zurich, one of the most
perfectly managed and most profit
able forests in the world, has been
handled under a working plan since
1880. The little Alpine republic still
reports progress in forest work, and
the American consul writing from St.
Gall, says:
The government of Switzerland
has so carefully regulated the timber
output that it has never been per-
mitted to exceed the natural growth.
The thick growth of timber on the
mountain sides, purposely allowed to
become dense, has perceptibly les
sened the danger and frequency of
avalanches and landslides, which in
former times were so frightfully de-
structive. To control the spring
floods in the rivers and streams, mas
sive dams, fortified by thickly planted
trees, have been erected at exposed
places. In the extraordinary atten-
ton paid to its timber lands, the gov
eminent has taken into account also
the necessity for sheltering and pas
turing cattle, the maintenance of the
soil, the roads, and the natural
springs, climate, and the control of
mountain streams.
THE actual forest area of Switzer-
land comprises 2,205,50s acres, 214s
per cent. of the entire surface of the
country, 77,OO4 of which belong to
the state and 2,12s, 504 to the cantons,
communes, municipalities, and private
corporations. Seven hundred and
eighty-one acres of the state forest
are set aside as a nursery. From this
nursery in 1908 over $4,000, 900 young
trees were taken and transplanted in
the various forests.
Swiss forests are classed as pro-
tected and non-protected The for
mer are those which are situated on
mountain slopes where the immi-
nence OF washouts, stone and ice
chutes, landslides and avalanches calls
for the constant exercise of extra
ordinary care and attention The
'non-protected' are those ON COM
paratively level ground requiring only
ordinary attention to keep them in

FOOT BALL SEASON
PevieW Of The Games Played by
' Our Men This Fan

A review of the past season
would be incomplete without a
word of praise for the scrubs.
There can be no truer spirit shown,
no truer love for our college and a
desire to be loyal and help the
team of the college win victories,
than is shown by the members of
the scrub football team, who come
out for practice night after night
in face of the fact that they have
little hope of making the regular
team and their Only incentive be-
ing to give the regulars the practice
that's essential in winning games,
and to pave the way for future

good condition. Because of the char
acter of the country, the great major
ity of the forests are protected
THE law provides that the forest
area shall not be diminished and that
all forests shall be maintained in a
fairly dense condition. Even in pri-
vate forests close cutting or clearing
up is strictly forbidden, especially in
exposed places, without the consent
of the federal authorities, and then
only in small areas and when prompt
retorestation is guaranteed Trees for
cutting are carefully selected by for
cstry experts.
Through the forests there are ex-
cellent roads, made largely by the
cantonal authorities. The year 1908
was marked by such activity in road
construction that the state, which
bears proportion of the expense,
paid to the cantons the sum of $46,-
634.O0 on their account alone.
Spruce is the most important tree
in the Swiss forests, and then in or
der of their Importance come the
white fir, beech, larch, pine, cypress,
and few other varieties.
"The principal revenue derived
from the Swiss forests is from the
lumber output, there being no manu-
features of resin, turpentine, and
similar by-products. To offset the
cutting, there were planted in 1908
23,096,225 trees, of which 1901, 800
were confer and 5,O64,635 deciduous,
and no less than seven tons of seed
were sown
Statistics of the receipts and ex-
penditures of all forestry work in the
country are not available, but a cou-
pie of cases may be cited which show
gratifying returns. The total re-
ceipts from the sale of wood in 1908
from 2,421 acres of state forests in
the canton of ST. Gall are given as
$24,457.37 and the expenditures as ST.
104.s1, leaving a clear profit of $17,-
1896. In the forests of the town
of Winterthur, amounting to 2,s33
acres, the receipts were 1,174.63,
and the expenses SCI, 634.50, leaving a
net profit Of $29,540.13, or an average
profit of about $1O.42 per acre.
at is MOTTO be presumed that the
revenue from the entire Swiss forest
area can be Appropriated by taking
as a basis the earnings of the ST.
Gall or Winterthur forests, which
have been for many years under most
intelligent and excellent management,
but the universal opinion among for
estry officials is that the jealous care
with which the Swiss timber lands
have been guarded has vastly bene-
flied both national and cantonal
treasures from the financial point of
view"

place on the regular team.

The Alma scrubs the past
season have done much to make
the first team what it was. they
have shown that they are made of
the stuff that makes men, not only
in athletics but in the world. Too
much praise can not be given them
They have the loyal support and
appreciation Of the regulars and of
the entire college.
I'm the matter of winning games
they demonstrated that they were
of no little consequence, having
won two hard fought games from
the. scrappy St. Louis High school
team and winning their final game
from the heavy Barbarians.
We hope to see many. of these
same scrubs out again next year
winning their IaureIs on the varsity
II is their kind of spirit that does
win and it will be rewarded by
success.

Ralph VonThurn, our big cap

though this is only "Big Von's"
second year on the team, he is an
old hand at the game. He has re-

in the hard school of experience,
having received his apprenticeship
on the second teams during his
academy course.
His sterling qualities, both as a
leader and player were shown in
his choice for captain during his
second year. He is hard consis-
tant player, both on his offence and
defence, and his spirit and deter
mination has proven him to be an
able and worthy leader. He will

well, Aubrey had just arrived ana

to Uncle Dan, Aunt Hattie and my

Aubrey came at seven o'clock and

II couldn't help being glad when
Cousin Zeb said to Cousin Dan that
they'd better go, too. for they had hay
to cut early the next morning II the
rain stopped.
After they had shaken hands with
Aubrey and left the room Aubrey said
they were decent chaps to think of
the haying just then, and he changed
his seat to the sofa where l was sit

surprised us by coming into the room
with lighted lantern.

conditions in the Louisville and Nash
Vile Railroad shops in New Decatur
still seem to be In an unsettled state
and as a result business men are unable
to decide what is best to be done un.
der the existing conditions. During the
past few days number OF men have
been laid on from these shops.
Prior to the last session of the State
Legislature, these shops employed
about $500 men at good wages and the
morthly pay roll was more than $780,
600. Now II IL less than half Of that
amount. BY many II 10 believed that
the recent railroad legislation has
brought about the conditions In the
shops here. The people of the Decaturs
have awakened to the situation OF az
fairs as regards these shops and they
have come to the conclusion that some
thing must be done to Increase the en-
ployment for mechanics In the Decaturs
but lust what to do 10 q matter that
is worrying everyone here at this time
Much of the work that was formerly
done In these shops Is now being sent
out OF the state. to the compAny's
shops in Louisville, Ky. Why this 10
done no one seems to be In position
to say. unless 1t Is the result OF re-
cent railroad legislation In Alabama.
New Decatur is about the halfway dis
lance between New Orleans and Gin

system and 1t stands to reason that
this shop work could be done In New
Decatur cheaper than II can be done
In Louisville. on account Of the freight
