The Openlnu Address

This autumn our department of po-
litieal economy and allied studies will
occupy the new S1,000,000 building given
US by our friend Mr.. James Wilkin-
son, the gifted head of the Clothespin
trust, while Professor HohbitS will fill
the chair of political morality, so gem
erously established for us by the Hon
orable James p. Hogan, a leading fig
ure in the wrought iron industry. DR..
Jonas from New York will conduct a
seminar on the proper sphere of mu-
nicipal regulation of public utilities-a
course made possible through the
kindness of a gentleman who does not
wish his name mentioned, but who has
become interested in this problem
through his position as president of
the New York Gas and Rapid Transit
company
owing to the action of our honored
board of trustees, Professor Oldfellow
will not be with us this year. l am
sure our good wishes go with the pro-
fessor in his new fields, whatever they
may be, in spite of his somewhat hasty
articles in one of last years sensa-
tional magazines. His course in civic
honesty will be changed to a lecture
sequence in which the students will
have the privilege of being addressed
weekly by sterling successful practical
citizens. Mr.. John D. Rockeman of
the gasoline industry will begin the
course next Monday with a talk on

GERMANS PLANT
TREES In CHINA
MANY ACRES ARE STOCKED IN
ACACIAS
GOVERNMENT TAKES UP WORK
OF AFFoRESTATioN
In Tsingtau, Where Most Progress Has
Been Made, Natural Conditions
Rendered Arborieulture Ex-
ceedingly Difficult

In considering the progress of the
almost worldwide movement for pro-
lection of forests, an interesting review
has just been made of the work in
China--a country which is so often
cited as an example of the evil effects
of deforestation.
In a portion of the celestial kingdom
earnest efforts are now being made to
re-establish a forest cover by planting.
Consul Wilbur T. Gracey of Tsingtau,
China, reports that the Germans in
that region are making successful at
tempts at reforestation. The success
of the work was practically assured at
the start, for to Germany is given the
credit of having the highest developed
system of forestry and it was natural
to expect that the long experience in
forest work in the fatherland would
lessen preliminary experimenting and
hasten progress in China.
When Tsingtau was occupied by the
Germans about eleven years ago the
hills were found bare and barren, with
only a sporadic growth of scrub pine
and weeds. Plans for reforestation
were at once made. and about 1866
acres have already been planted. About
half of this is planted in acacias, the
balance in pine, larch, walnut, oak,
ash, NAPLES and alders. So successful
has this planting been that the point
has already been reached where the
sale of timber can be made. Small
branches are sold for firewood and
some of the timber is used for
mining purposes The sale and eX-
portation of acacia is expected to be-
come a considerable source of revenue
during the next few years.
Conditions Unsatisfactory
1t is particularly remarkable that
this work should have been so success
full in view of the difficulties to which
the plantation was subjected The
rainfall Is light and lack of moisture
considerably retarded the development
of the trees. BY far the worst enemies,
however, were insects Various spe-
cies of caterpillars and other insects
have been so destructive that thou
sands of Chinese boys and women are
now engaged annually to destroy them.
Various measures for prevention have
been tried, such as placing girdles of
glue on the trees, but these have not
been effective, and 1t was found neces-
sary to resort to a systematic destruc-
ton of the insects by hand.
During 1908 more than seven million
caterpillars were gathered by hand,
smashed, covered with lime, and after
wards used as fertilizer This method
has been successful in protecting the
greater part of the plantations but on
the mountains on the border of the ter
ritory the trees are eaten bare. Aeacias
appear to withstand the attacks of the
insects better than any other species,
and the. SUBMITS of the mountains are
now being planted with these trees in
an effort to check future destruction.
In addition to these enemies, Chinese
thieves are another source of difficulty
and on one occasion band of thirty
six thieves was captured in the act of
stealing wood.
Despite these drawbacks, however,
the work has been so successful that
the Chinese government is now under

gauges, for a trip to Europe, and In
fact around the world. Mr.. Garvey
will send to The Herald each week an
interesting batch of correspondence
covering the points of interest he VIII
visit, especially devoted to the auto
mobile world. and many of these WIN
be accompanied by photographs OF the
scenes that viii come under his obser-
walton.
Being a versatile man of affairs,
widely read and experienced, it may be
presumed that any articles from the
nen of Mr. Garvey will have touch
of interest to many thousands In this
section. most of whom favorably know
this genial apostle of the air gauge and
who has in three months sold over
hundrede thousand of the little device
that is almost Indispensable to every
automobile owner in the world.
The article itself Is manufactured
here In Los Angeles and represents the
fidelity and loyalty and aggressiveness
of w. d. Newerf in the welfare of the
city of his adoption and where he has
become one of the most progressive
factors in the life of the business

taking forestry schemes in a number of
places under advice from German ex-
perts. This work centers about Muk-
den, Manchuria, where success has all
ready been obtained with acacias, ana
experiments are now being made with
other trees. The first Chinese forest
school was established at Mukden two
years ago. Six hundred and twenty
FIVE acres have already been set apart
for cultivation. and PATIO acres are to
be purchased for afforestation.
Three large mines in China, in the
provinces of Chihli and Shansi, which
are under the management of Europe
ans, are making plans for afforestation,
and the Shantung railway Is planting
acacias along 260 miles of its track.
This, however. is simply beginning
of the work, and the Chinese govern
ment now has in contemplation the in
auguration of extensive afforestation
work in different parts of China.

off for Europe Today

James Garvey, formerly branch
manager in Los Angeles for Morgan
& Wright, but now sales manager OF
the Twitchell air gauge, which Is man
ufactured here by the Newerf Rubber
company, will leave today for Europe,
where he will place several distribut-
ing agencies in France, Germany and
England. Mr.. Garvey's trip has been
occasioned by the great demand for
gauges from abroad, to supply which
the local factory has manufactured
specially constructed instruments for
use upon the several styles of valves
turned out by European tire COM
panies.
Mr.. Garvey recently made tour of
all the leading American cities, COW
ering over 10000 miles in three
months, during which time he sold
over 100000 of these valuable little
gauges.

CHAUFFEURS WILL
TAKE HAND IN LAW
Organize in Chicago to Go After Reck-
less Drivers, Render Legal Aid
to Members and Give
Medical Aid

CHICAGO, Nov 1S.-With intent to
aid in enforcing existing laws govern
ing the driving of automobiles and the
prosecution of reckless chauffeurs, the
Auto Drivers Protective association
was organized last night with 115 men,
bers.
The association, which recently in
corporated, plans to make war against
recklessness in driving. AT the meet
ing wealthy owners of machines rubbed
elbows with professional chauffeurs
while casting their ballots. The asso-
citation which, it is believed, will have
for its members before long, all the ca
pable automobile drivers in the state,
will give legal aid to all of its mem
bers when arrested, and medical atten-
tion when i'll or suffering from injury.

SEEK SITE FOR SANlTARIUM
tuberculosis Hospital May be Loo at
ed at Custer Backed by State
APPROXIMATION.

A meeting was held Tuesday in the
office Of DIR. Fl. T. Rate, relative to
the location of a tuberculosis hospital
in the Hills district. DR.. Rattle is the
originator of the bill for the location
Of the hospital near Custer and for an
appropriation Of $4,000 to defray ex-
penses Of building, to be followed by
annual donation from the state for
running expenses. At this meeting
there were present several members
of the state board Of charities and
others Of influence in the state. There
is some objection to the location on
account of Custer being situated at
an altitude of 5000 feet above the sea
level. Hermosa and Buffalo Gap are
suggested as more fitting locations.
The business men of Custer want the
hospital there and have agreed to do
nate 160 acres Of land as SITE. DIR.
Rattle is fayoring Custer and believes
| it, good location on account of the
freshness of the air and general
healthfulness Of climate. Visits will
be made to the three places and q
| site determined on later.

Call For Brains.

Souix City Livestock Record: Cur
rent comment of the agricultural
press is good index to the impor-
lance Of the subject Of soil fertiliza-
ton. In constantly growing volume
OF late years the attention of farmers
has been called to the vital question of
the proper treatment of lands for the
purpose of conserving their fertility,
and the Investigations Of experiment.
farms along that line as well as the
treatment of the subjects by econom-
lists and public men would fill vol
umes. The agricultural department.
has helped out by furnishing statis-
tics of yields and averages for past
years, as we'll as by active and we'll
directed investigations in modern
agricultural conditions. The awak-
ening to the disastrous effect of that
system of land piracy by which the
land is despoiled of its wealth and
rendered impotent of further produc-
tivity has been general.in intelligent
circles. The brainy bnen Of the
American farming population have
long ago realized the Importance as
well as the profit Of scientific farm
ing, and they have shown it in their
prosperous looking farms and in the
fecund nature Of the soil, which, al
though titled for years. is yet sound
and whole. But there is large class
of American farmers who are indiffer-
ent, whose farming methods are the
methods Of their forefathers at base,
although machinery has largely re-
placed the antiquated means. These
are the men who wear out soils and
migrate, who pursue their piracy al
ways on virgin fields, who are not
permanent members of any communi-
ty. There is another class too igno-
rant to learn and too poor to move.
But the third and most dangerous of
all-that which knows just enough to
keep the land from deteriorating too
rapidly but not enough to learn how
to keep it at it's cristine worth.
Farming is a science. Not every
man can be a farmer. In the future
there will be fewer who now think
they are farmers who can hold the
job. 1t is an occupation which re-
quires not only brains but the con-
slant use Of brains. There is some
thing to learn now, and when that is
learned there will be something more
to learn about farming. The subject
is as ineXhaustable as nature herself.
The highest intelligence can find a
field in it and the name of farmer
will in the future stand for some
thing more than that rusticity which
has made the agriculturist the butt
of so much American humor.
