Practice Of Forestry Important
Issue in National Development

a few years ago forest conserya

Cleveland. jr., in a circular on the
statue OF forestry in this country,
which has just been issued by tho
United States forest service. In con-
nection with the general plan to con-
serve all natural resources. il is the
most important and far-reaching eco
nomic policy ever adopted and pur-
sued by any nation.
1.-The forest is one of the chief sur
ports of the whole material fabric Oh
civilization. The forest means NOT
only a permanent supply of wood and
the life Of all industries which de-
pend upon n. but also the control
of water.

at the gates of which modern indus
try is standing Yet the guardian OF
the water is steadily compelled 10 re-
treat before the AK and fire.
In waste alone We reject more
than two-thirds of the lumber that
might be taken from the standing
trees. At least half of this waste
is unnecessary. In the first place, We
waste the forest by refusing to take
advantage of it's full capacity TO-
growth. Protected and properly man.
aged. our forests will produce far
more wood than they do at present.
But while 1t is wasteful TO crippis
the forest by a violent numbering
which destroys young growth--the
promise of the future forest-it Is
doubly wasteful to lock up the forest
and let the ripe timber die and de-
cay. for in the former case the forest
at least contributes temporary sup
Dly of wood. whereas in the latter
case 1t contributes no wood at all.
1T is not use which destroys the
forests. but waste. Not as such. but

II is strange that so Revolutionary

Fulton, however. vas not discouraged.
All he apparently thought about was
the problem OF keeping the air fresh
in the submarine He had found that
the candles consumed too much oxy-
gen. and therefore made a second boat
in which were windows. These, he
says. did excellently vel. but the
main problem remained.

WHITE SOX ARE VICTORS
Dallas Nine Without Strong Pitcher
Falls Easy Victim to SherwoOd's
Heavy Batsmen.

Sunday afternoons baseball game
between the local nine and the Sher-
wood White Sox was won without
serious exertion by the visiting team,
the home players, scoring two runs
(through the courtesy of the Sherwood
players) to their opponents eight.
Although the work Of the Dallas
players in the field was very credltable,
the weakness Of the home nine in the
box made the loss of the game fore
gone conclusion. Neither Doty nor
Barham, who pitched for the locals
seemed able to put the ball where the
White Sox could not connect with it
il they 80 desired and the result was
the most unmerciful hammering that
has been dealt out to a pitcher or
pitchers on the home diamond this
year.
The Sherwood players reached out
and clouted the ball at will. They
batted it over the fence; they batted 1t
into odd and unusual corners of the
enclosure, causing the fielders to run
after it until their tongues hung out.
1t really appeared at times that it
must be either merciful working OF
Providence or else a lack of interest
on the part of the powerful batsmen
from Sherwood. that prevented the
score from mounting up to so instead

There was little to complain about

field. They made few errors ano

nothing In the face Of an aggregation

visitors had deposited the ball on thu
