The average area to each officer
theoretically available for patrol duty
was 1856 acres. But more than
three fourths of the time of these
forest officers IS now required By
the fastRrowing volume of national
forest business, so that in point OF
fact the force on duty at the close
of the year provided about one patrol
officer to each 100000 acres of for
est. This is considered inadequate
for protection of the forests. Until
provisio is made for large increass
of force Il is necessary either to cur
tail the business arising from use
OF the forests or to neglect the pro
per safeguarding Of Government pro
perry against fire.
Experimental broadcast sowings
were made during the year in %
forests. in the States OF Idaho, Mon
tana, Washington. Oregon, Wyoming.
Colorado. Utah, and New Mexico. The
total area sown was 131 acres of
which A were in the Black Hills Ma
tionaI forest.
About 100000 trees were planted
last year on Forests in the States
OF Nebraska. Kansas. Colorado. New
Mexico. Arizona. Utah, Idaho. and
California. There are now growing
at the planting stations over 2,20o,-
900 trees which viii be ready fo-
planting in 1909. Sufficient seed was
sown in the spring Of 1908 to pro
duce 1900 900 seedlings.
Besides administering the National
forests. the forest service renders. on
request expert advice and assistance
20 other parts OF the Executive Gov
eminent regarding the practice of
forestry. Work OF this kind was car
ried on several military and Indian
reservations in various parts OF the
country. Cooperative state forest
studies were carried on with Ken
lucky. Mississippi. New Hampshire.
and Illinois
The forest service conducts inyes-
legations of forest products along the
two lines of wood preservation and
wood utilization. Some Of these in
aim primarily TO pro
mote bstter use OF national forest
timbers; others seek results either
of general application or contribut-
ing to the best Use of the forests OF
some special region.

This conference is not to be exclu-

thought is gotten up and promoted by
the anti-saloon league. Other mat
ters of law enforcement also are to be
considered, although it is presumed
that the question of enforcing the anti
saloon and anti-blind tiger laws will
consume most of the time. Among
other subjects to be discussed arc
horse racing, prize fighting and Sun
day dissertation. On all of these sub
tects governor Marshall has pronounc.
ed views of his own and he has re-
peatedly stated his policy to be in OPP
position to law violations.
The anti-saloon league, however
does not seem to be very we'll pleased
with the attitude assumed by governor
