PRESIDENT KERR DEFENDS
D. A. c. APPROPRIATION

oregon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis, Ore.-The first definite indica-
ton of the attitude to be taken by
friends of the Oregon Agricultural
College towards the threatened use of
the referendum in the college appro-
priation bill was given today in
statement by President Kerr, in which
he said that a determined attempt
would be made to head off the pro-
posed action by demonstrating to the
people of the state that the delay in
volved in the use of the referendum
would be fatal to the work of the COL
lege and that it would jeopardize
vital source of support by breaking
faith with the Federal Government.
Does Not Fear Adverse Action.
He points out that it is not fear of
adverse action on the bill by the peo-
pie of the state that has prompted
the authorities to take action at this
time, but the disastrous results to the
college which will follow from the
postponment of the appropriation. If
the appropriations are held up until
the election one year from November
it will be at least three years from the
present time before these buildings
prvided for by the bill would be
ready for occupancy. This means
that the buildings, which are so
overcrowded as to make effective work
almost impossible at the present time,
will have to accommodate for at least
three years a college in which the
student registration increased 3S per
cent last year. A similar increase in
attendance will almost double in three
years the demand now made upon the
room, equipment and instructional
force. 1t is argued that such condi-
ons will make effective work impos-
sible.
1t is also pointed out that the state
by accepting the Federal appropri-
alton is absolutely bound to fulfill the
duties which the federal raw impos-
es as prerequisites to the granting Of
such appropriation. The Federal
statutes provide that specified am
cunt Of military drill shall be given
by all institutions benefited by these
acts. This It will be impossible for
the college to do, as the present ar
mory will accommodate less than one

fifth the number of students now re-
quired to take military drill.
School Serves the State.
The Federal laws also provide that
suitable buildings must be furnished
by the state to carry on the work in
agriculture and the industrial scien-
ces. The present laboratories and
present needs and will be entirely un-
suited to the increased demands. In
support of this contention it is stat
ed that the amount of room devoted
to the work in agriculture has been
doubled by the construction of the
Agronomy building, but that In the
past year the work given in this field
has increased nine times.
The growing interest on the part of
farmers and citizens of the state
generally, in the experimental work
of the experiment station and the coll
lege, as manifested by the doubling
OF the number of letters of inquiry
in the last four months, it is argued
makes an extra demand upon the re-
sources of the college, which must be
provided for if the institution is to
perform its proper functions.
President Kerr expressed himself as
confident that if the people of the
state can be reached it will be an easy
matter to prove TO them that it is the
present congested condition of the
college that needs relief, irrespective
of the needs of the future, and since
that is true, it would be disasterous
to bring about the delay which would
result from the calling of the refer
endum.

jungle of trees, high growing shrubs, tree

and mosses, the forest effectually prevents
erosion and serves as a reservoir to hold
back large percentage of the rainfall,
giving out the water gradually TO the
springs and streams that rise within its
boundaries. This is the more important
in Hawaii because here in the Islands the
catchment basins are small and the valleys
Of the streams short and steep.
In practically all the districts where
there Is permanently running water, the
chief value of the forest rests In the pro-
lection II affords the streams that are now,
or later may be turned to economic ac-

be taken to protect the sources of supply
and do what is possible toward equalizing
the flow of the important streams and
storing the storm water for future use.
Because a forest cover on the watersheds
and catchment basins helps In just this
way, the protection of the forest plays an
important part in the successful develop
ment and continued prosperity of the main
industry OF the Territory. Throughout
Hawaii are large areas potentially rich in
soil but semi-arid in character. Only by
the application of water can such lands be
made productive. Much of this area is
now in sugar but whatever the crop, irri-
cation is necessity.
The primary value Of the Hawaiian for
ests is that they help to put these lands
to use. The native Hawaiian forest is ad-

apart by proclamation of the Governor Of
the Territory, with "a total area Of 444,1l6
acres, OF which 81 per cent, or 273,912
acres Is government land. The remainder
Is owned by private interests, for the most
part sugar plantation companies. The
primary object In the creation of all but
one Of the forest reserves 80 far established
Is the protection OF the important water
sheds from which water is diverted for
economic use. The forest reserves are
therefore the direct outcome of u CONNER
cial need. They are made because To keep
sucn land under IA forest cover is To make
II Of greater use to man than IL could be
In any other way.
Recent estimates of the area of forest
land in Hawaii show that the Koa and
Ohia forest type-in which are all the
forest reserves-covers approximately L.
10000 acres. or this area 1t is probable
that in time about 10000 acres will be
included within forest reserve boundaries
The forest work of the Territory is car
red on by the Division of Forestry of the
territorial Board of Agriculture and For
estry. The present organization and the
inauguration Of definite forest reserve
policy date back little under six years,
out prior 10 lnat time not a Hltle forest
work had been done both by the Hawaiian
Government itself, In the way of tree
planting, and by individuals and corpora
tons in forest planting and in the setting
apart of private forest reserves. One OF
the notable things about Hawaii Is the
strong public sentiment In favor OF fores-
try that has made itself manifest In these
ways. IL is an index OF the intellectual
standing of Il community when the people
take measures looking to its future well
fare.
Besides the creation of forest reserves
there Is second main branch of forest
work In Hawaii that is directly of benefit
to the sugar industry, as It is to all the
people of the Territory-the planting OF
trees Because OF the prodigal methods
by which the forests of the American
mainland have been exploited the people
OF the United States are face to face with
growing scarcity of wood that promises
to amount to a timber famine.
Hawaii is very largely dependent on the
mainland for Its supply of wood products.
All construction timber has to be imported
and the local supply of even rougher
grades is diminishing. This points the

forests bear to the main industry of the

FIRST ORANGES OF EUROPE.
Story of the Introduction of the Fruit
From China

At time when tiny orange trees are
to be see mas table decorations, and
oranges innumerable are for sale, it is not
inappropriate to trace the Introduction
of the fruit into Europe. According to
Paris contemporary, says the London
Globe, after it's Introduction into Eu-
rope from China a Carthaginian con-
ceived the idea of grating the yellow
mandarin orange upon the grenadier
with the result that we have the blood
orange. Jean de Castro introduced the
orange from the West Indies to Portu-
gal, and the first attempt to cultivate it
was made by the Constable de Bourbon
but after this revolt Francis l. continued
the experiments. At the time Louis XIV.
visited Toulon the Chevalier Paul, in
compliment to the King placed some
preserved oranges on trees in the orang-
cry. Ladies in the retinue, it is added

oranges grew sugared.
