at discount of cents. The July
and September spread was So cents
last night, the narrowest so far. 1t is
the belief of the traders that the dis
tant futures are heavily oversold. A
very conservative commission man
said: Patten interests have the July,
big line OF Decemb Der and Armour has
the September" Bins throughout the
country are empty awaiting the move
ment of new wheat. Crop prospects
in the spring wheat country are so good
that any change will be in the nature
of a decline. which will favor higher
prices.
] CORN-This is bearish weather on
corn. There is plenty of moisture and
with the high temperatures the crop is
being forced along rapidly and reports
from the country say that the corn is
growing very fast. Advices from CEN
trail Illinois are that the crop has been
plowed twice, and by the end of the
week it will be worked over the third
time and many fields laid by. Local
traders are much mixed over the sit
uation but are inclined to the bear side
of the market The country is liqui-
dating July corn in a small way and
the cash trade is extremely light.-In-

FOREST CONSERVATION.
! Railroad Presidents Called Upon to
Practice Forest Conservation ..
And Better Wood Utilization.

Washington, June 1.-The presl-
dents of the leading railroads of the
country have just received a letter
from Clifford Panchot, United States
forester, calling upon them to prac-
tice forest conservation and better
timber utilization. In his letter the
forester says:
II am writing to call Your atten-
tion again to some phases OF sub
iect to which | know you must al
ready have given much thought-the
conservation Of our forests. The re-
port Of the National Conservation
commission shows that we are cut
ting our forests three times faster
than they are growing; that much
large timber and young growth are
destroyed yearly by fire: that as a ma
tion we have used wood waStefully
and extravagantly; that the only
way we can get the timber we shall
need in the future is to keep all our
forest land constantly growing trees ;
and that the longer We delay action
the greater will be the pinch Of a
timber shortage later on.
"One-ffth of our remaining tim
ber is in public forests, and on these
forests the nation and the States are
practicing forestry. Feur-ffths Of
Our timber i privately owned, and
Il is being cut almost exclusively for
present profit without regard to the
future. The problem Of providing a
timber supply can not be solved by
the National government alone, by

Destruction of Telephone Poles By
Insects.

Insects play most important part
in timber destruction, The injury
done is generally underestimated as
their depredations 60 on gradually,
but forcibly, attracting little observa-
ton. When they bore into the tim
Der they open up air chambers and
channels which make it easy for rain
water to seep in, and thus keep the
wood in moist condition. Fungous
spores floating through the air are
enabled to germinate with greater
rapidity and with increased effective
ness and the decomposition of the
pole consequently is materially has
tened.
Several years ago the forest service
cooperated with one Of the large tel
ephone companies in Georgia and
Florida to experiment with various
preservatives in protecting the butts
of telephone poles from decay. These
preservatives were simply painted up
on the wood, and Of course did not
sink in to any great depth. A recent
examination made of this pole line
showed that wherever the preserva-
