FACTS ABOUT OUR FORESTS.

A survey of the forests of the State
no = almost completed reveals some
rather startling facts. There are
100000 acres of wood and brush
land in the State. The value of the
product of these lands at the point Of
production for the past year was
approximately 100000. To pro-
duce it required over three times as
much wood as the growth for that
year. This means that we are taking
much more than the annual growth
and that we are drawing on our
forests capital at the expense of future
production. The present stand Of
sa timber in the State is approx
mately 71s,s75,000 cubic feet. We
use annually about 77,500,00O cubic
feet of wood. The forests Of the
State grew approximately 100000
cubic feet of wood per annnm which
is less than one-third of what we use.
At the present rate we will use up
all Of our forests capital, besides the
yearly growth, in about IA years
with disastrous results. This means
either that the forest production
must be greatly increased or that we
must use wood more economically
probably both. The wooded area is
not likely to increase, the tendency
is along the line of a decrease, but
there is no doubt that the present
timber production can be greatly
increased under proper forest man.
agement Iii safe to say that event.
ualiy when we have learned to follow
the best forest practices, our forests
will produce four or FIVE times az
much per acre as now. This predic-
ton is based on the fact that in
countries where growth conditions
are not as good as ours, their forests
are yielding six times as much as
ours. Ii this can be attaired we will
be producing as much wood as we
now use and more. To do It how
ever, will require that every acre Of
forest land yield fall crop, and un-
less we make beginning at once il

By the vote of majority of the
100000 and more public school chill
dren of Maryland, approved by the
formal vote of the State Board of
Education, the "black eyed susan
has been chosen as the State flower.
This flower is well distributed in
every County Of the State, but the
reason which weighed most strongly
on the youthful voters was It's gor-
geous display of the Maryland colors,
orange and black. The black eyed
susan is also known as the ox-eye
daisy. 1t is somewhat larger than
the common daisy, and has cone
shape center of black, with splendid
orange petals. The goldenrod wai

votes were cast for the rose, the trail.
ing arbutus and the pink carnation.
Now that the State flower has beer
designated, we think it is up to the
Board Of Education and the schoo
children to give it a shorter and more
inspiring name than black eyed
susan.

PRESIDENT rAeT's GOOD WORK

On Friday last William Howard
Taft reached the first milestone Of
his four years term as President Of
the United States
That he has made good so far and
given satisfaction is the pronuncia-
mento Of ell fsir-minded citizens Of
this country
Mr.. Taft since bis incumbency has
endeavored to carry out the promises
incorporated in the Republican ma
tional platform, upon which he made
bis fight for the high office he now
holds. He has shown his intention
and desire to do this in his general
messages to Congress and various adj
dresses delivered throughout the
country.
Every indication points to the full
realization of these promises of the
President and Republican party by
Congress.
One Of the most significant things
to illustrate this was the passage last
week by the Senate without dis
senting vote among the Republicans
of the Postal Savings Bill. There
seems to be every reason to believe
that the other measures advocated by
the President will pass both branches.
There are some measures which
the President Is anxious to put
through before the present session Of
Congress is over, and we believe
he sill be in a large manner success
full.
The Republican party, through its
national platform, promised to enact
law that will build up American
shipping lines in foreign trade.
American shipping during the Civil
War was effeetually driven from the
high seas and the leading position as
a marine power then lost cannot be
regained unless this country adopts
TIE special methods which other
countries are putting to use to main
tain marine prestige. The Ship
Subsidy Bill is one Of the Taft meas
ures and what's more, it embodies a
policy plainly advocated by the Re-
publican party in convention as
sembled. 1t is a measure which
should be passed before the adjourn
ment Of the present session. The
policy of building up and restoring
the lost prestige of the United States
upon the high seas ought not to be
longer delayed.
In bis various appointments Presi-
dent Taft has used good Judgment
He has not been hasty, nor has he
endeavored to play peanut politics,
but has endeayored to make them
upon the ground of merit and eff
fieiency.
The close of his administration S,
successful at the end of the frs
year deserves the commentator anC
we believe it has of the American
people as a whole.

Il seems quite wonderful to read
vi the proposal Of a Harvard student
By wireless in Honolulu and his ac-
ceptanee by the lady in midocean.
But it loses all the romance of the
good old way Of settling the matter
face TO face with soft whispers on
one side and sweet bushes on the
other. Besides, there is always the
danger Of wireless proposals being
intercepted and the wrong girl get
ting the fateful message.

Along with the warm spell Of
weather, as natural as the croakine

poets again. In the Baltimore New,
on Saturday horde of them gave
vent to their sentiments, from among
which we pick the following:
0, springtime is coming, old Winter is
past.
Bright Fairies Of flowers are gathering
With song birds returning from South
ern cline.
o, life will be glad in the singing
springtime.
%, springtime is ieeting, old Winters
forgot.
Comes the Violet, the Rose and Forget
Me-Not.
All nature is waking and Winter is gone.
Aud may the bright Summer kiss
spriugtime alone.

TO REGULATE CLUSTERING.

The following bill has been intro
duced in the Legislature by Senator
Frere
A Bill entitled an act to regulate
the takins and catching Of oysters
from the Potomac River.
Whereas the laxity of the Virginia
authorities in enforcing the Gull Law /
in the Potomac River, the oystermen
Of Maryland, have suffered greatly
and demand some legislation to relieve
them of the embarrassing position in
which they are placed from the uneven
enforcement Of the Gull Law between
Virginia and Maryland, therefore,
Section l. Be it enacted BY the
General Assembly Of Maryland That
all ol sters taken from any natural
rocks, bots OF hoals in the waters of
the Potomac River shall be culled on
their natural rocks, beds or shoals as
taken, the oysters whose shells meas
ure less than two and one-half inches
in length, measuring from hinge to
mouth, and all shells shall be Included
in said culiing and replaced upon said
rocks, beds or shoals, provided that
oysters once passed from the cutler
less than the prohibited size, and all
shells shall be considered as not hav-
ing been culled, according to the pro-
visions Of this Act; provided, that
when small oysters are adhering so
closely to the shell of a marketable
oyster as to render removal impossible
without destroying the young oyster,
then it shall not be necessary to re-
move it. And it shall be unlawful for
any person 10 take, buy or sell the
small OF sters and shells from the ma
ural rocks, beds and shoals as aforesaid.
