Teachers to Cooperate With
Forest Service In Tree Studu.

Teachers throughout the country have
been invited by the United States For
ester to cooperate with the Forest ser,
vice in an effort TO obtain more definite
knowledge of the characteristics OF the
most important forest trees of the United
States. To do this it will be necessary
to obtain a large number of volunteer
observers who will collect material on
the time of leating, blossoming and fruit
Ing OF the various kinds of forest trees. In
his letter inviting the cooperation OF the
teachers, Forester Pinchot says:
knowledge of this kind is greatly
needed and will be of value from the
standpoint both OF education and of
practical forestry. For educational pur +.
poses the results obtained for each spe-
cies' averaged and presented graphically
oy means OF colored charts, will be
available to all who are interested i'm the
subject, and particularly to schools.
They will form virtual tree calendars

Children can readily be interested in
the actual work of obtaining records.
rms should form an attractive outdoor
feature OF the school work that should
serve TO develop the faculty of accurate
observation, and at the same time to pro.
mote an interest in forestry which may
lead to a better appreciation of it's aims
and methods. 1t may also prove to be n
profitable addition to botany courses for
older students.
"A study OF this kind will be of great
value to practical forestry, since the
proper treatment of forests depends
partly Upon knowledge of these char

time OF year at which a tree leafs ont

TO whether or not it is frost hardy i'm a

knowledge of the time when seeds of
each species ripen In various localities is
OF great value TO those who are collect
ing seed, since seed often deteriorates or
is eaten by squirrels and birds if not
gathered and stored as soon az ripe.
Another result of this studv viii no a
more intimate knowledge of climate as
manifested by plant growth, for differ
ehces In climate are shown by plant life
as Wen as by instruments, and prelim
mary idea can thus be gained as to
whether given region is suited TO "A
valuable tree which it is desired to intro.
duce there. Many such examples could
be given, but sufficient has been said to
show that the results of these observa
tlons will be real help to practical for
estry, in addition TO their general inter.
est and educational value. Volunteers
will later be supplied with publications
and charts containing the information
they help to gather as a return for the
services rendered.
Onrequest the Forest Service will be
glad to send forms upon which to record
data and pamphlet containing full in
structions as to the nature of the obser-
vations and and how they are to be
made.

SECRETARY BALLINGER of the

the wholesale Withdrawals of pub

sites but without sufficient infor-
nation, and at the same time to

drawn from entry only one-sixth of

purpose. When Secretary Bal
linger opened to entry the great
area Withdrawn under the former
administration and instructed the
director of the Geological Survey
to advise him as to what areas
must be withdrawn to protect the
water sites until congress should
have time to legislate regarding
them, there was an emphatic pro-
test from many who failed to grasp
the purpose of the secretary and
who imagined that his course con-

movement. 1t IL known that his
action had the hearty approval of
President Taft, and his withdrawal

of public land in Utah, Colorado,
Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and
Oregon demonstrates his entire

movement. These Withdrawals

No sooner had he taken refuge

the officers life. The men then
ran for the hill east Of McMechep,

A Far-Reaching Decision.

Milwaukee Free Press.
Just how far-reaching will be the de-
cision of the supreme court, sustaining
the Texas antitrust laws cannot be
forecast at this time. So much is GER
tain, however, that it confirms the
right of a state to deal with unlawful
combinations or conspiracies in re-
straint of trade operative within its
borders, irrespective of their interstate
character.
This naturally puts an entirely new
face on the problem Of trust control
and inhabitant of monopoly, and re-
moves it in a measure from the hither-
to accepted jurisdiction of the federal
government.
Of course, the popular appeal Of the
supreme court decision centers in the
sustainment of the fine. Here, at
last, is a penalty inflicted on one of
the justly despised monoplies which
satisfies the public sense of justice and
which can no longer be evaded by legal
expedients.
The right of the state of Texas to
make and enforce its own antitrust
laws being thus approved by the high
est tribunal of the land, similar laws
and similar operations will naturally
follow in other states. Giving each
individual state hand in the matter
simply widens the field of trust control,
and makes it possible to strike more
directly and Immediately at the inte-
grail abuses of any monopolistic system.
Moreover, any action that enhances
the powers of the Individual states in
the regulation of matters which, though
Of national significance, have their
vital local phase, is to be welcomed in
view Of the growing tendency to
centralize all power in the federal
government
1t remains for each state to deal
wisely and sanely with such a problem
so that its laws will stand the test of
the higher courts and it's verdicts will
be sustained by them.
