AMERICANS CAN NOT
AVOID BAD FOODSTUFFS
Experts Say in United States
Cookery Is Not Perfect

BERKELEY. July 27,-Mrs. Ellen
Richards, the domestic science expert
from Boston. yesterday stated that the
art of cooking in America had by no
means reached perfection. Besides cat
ing bad mixtures the food expert de-
clared that Americans eat badly cooked
food because>often it can not be avoided.
Food is one of the fundamental needs
of human life" declared Mrs. Richards.
,hence we must have the proper amount
of 1t for efficiency. AS to kinds of food,
some think meat or eggs cause irri-
liability. Others decry vegetables as be-
ing full of cellulose. For yourself you
must find which combination acts well
on your system, and eat accordingly.
Most of us have certain likes and
dislikes in our foods, which may be
psychological For instance, dislike
of coffee in a woman may be traced to
the fact that as a child she spilled the
liquid on the best table cloth when COM
pany was present.
With children it is best not to allow
too many whims as to food supply, as it
increases cost of living

ent system.

ent system
For the year 1909 there were SO new
settlers who desired to enter a particu-
lar forest with their stock, but with
the reductions made upon the older
users 1t was impossible to take care
of but five of them; and while the
older users complain of the reductions
necessary to meet this demand from
the new men the new men also COM
plain because they are not allowed a
larger number at the beginning. One
of the basic principles in handling
grazing matters on the national for
ests is that 1t is better to help small
man make a living than big man a
profit.
The policy of the forest service in
making these reductions and restric-
tions is not to injure any person nor
TO allow the new men to enter the
forest with such large number as will
necessitate unnecessarily large reduc-
tions to meet them. The number al
lowed each individual is believed to
be that which will furnish modest
income to a man sufficient to enable
him to establish his home, support and
educate his family and advance his
own interests, as we'll as the interest
of the community and state.

ASSISTANCE NEEDED IN
THE STUDY OF TREES
Teachers Invited TO Aid the
Forest Service

WASHINGTON. June 12.-Teachers
throughout the country have been In
vited by the United States forester to
cooperate with the forest service IN
an effort TO obtain more definite knowl-
edge of the characteristics Of the most
important forest trees OF the United
States To do this it will be neces-
sary to obtain a large number of vol
unteer observers who will collect ma
teriaI on the time of leafng, blossom
ing and fruiting of the various kinds
Of forest trees. In his letter inviting
the cooperation of the teachers For
ester 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
purposes the results obtained for each
species, averaged and presented graph
iically by means of colored charts, viii
be available to all who are interested
in the subject, and particularly to
schools. They will form virtual tree
calendars and will be valuable aids
TO nature study.
TRAINING FOR CHILDREN
children can readily be Interested
in the actual work of obtaining rec
ords. This should form an attractive
outdoor feature of the school work
that should serve to develop the fac
ulty of accurate observation, and at
the same time to promote an interest
in forestry which may lead to a better
appreciation of it's aims and methods
1t may also prove TO be profitable ad-
dition TO botany courses for older stu
dents.
"A study Of this kind will be of
great value to practical forestry. since
the proper treatment of forests de-
pends partly upon knowledge of
these characteristics of trees. For ex-
ample, the time of year at which a
tree leafs out and blossoms is one of
the indications as to, whether or not it
is frost hardy in a given region. and
the length of time that a tree is in
leaf influences the growth it is able
TO make during the season. Knowl-
edge of the time when seeds of each
species ripen In various localities is
of great value to those who are col
| lecting seed. since seed often deterior-
ates or is eaten by squirrels and birds
/ If not gathered and stored as soon as
ripe.
EDUCATION IN FORESTRY
Another result of this study will be
more intimate knowledge of climate
as manifested by plant growth. for
differences in climate are shown bv
plant life as well as by instruments
and a preliminary idea can thus be
gained as to whether given region
is suited to a valuable tree which ii Is
desired TO introduce there. Many such
examples could be given, but sufficient
has been said TO show that the results
of these observations viii be a real
help to practical forestry, in addition
to their general interest and educa
tional value. Volunteers will later be
supplied with publications and charts
containing the information they helm
to gather. as a return for the services
rendered.
On request the forest service will be
glad 10 send forms upon which to re.
cord data and pamphlet containing
full instructions as to the nature of the
observations and how they are to be
made.
