boiler tubes of the craft at one
time had been found stuffed with
iron and debris shortly after the
torpedo boat left the Mare Island
yard, and that the boiler tubes

Government Timber Cruisers al
Work in Florida.

Florida is about to get its trst
practical experience Of the results
Of National Forest administration. A
reconnaissance survey Of the Choe-
tawhatchee Forest, which was put
under control Of the Department OF
Agriculture in November, 1908, by
Presidential proclamation, is now be-
ing made by q force Of Forest Ser
vice experts. This survey will fur

use of the forests can be promoted
through properly regulated timbe'
cutting through turpentinlng under
the eup-and-gutter or the cup-and'
apron method ind through grazing,
without harm to tae permanent value
of the forests. Florida was the first
State east of the Mississippi to have
a National Forest.
The Choctawhatchee Forest con-
tanning approximately 467,6O6 acres,
is located in the western part OF the
State, along the Gulf, in Walton and
Santa Rosa counties. The Oeala
Forest, embracing some 2O7,285 acres
lies in the central part, the greater
portion Of the Forest being in Mar
ion county, with a small fraction in
Lake. The two Forests were placed
under administration November !,
1909.
As long ago as 1925, Congress ap-
propriated $4,000 to buy live oak
land on Santa Rosa sound to make
sure Of a supply Of ship timber for
our war vessels. This reservation,
toeether with other tracts subse-
ouently set aside, made a total Of
2O8,224 acres in Florida timberlands
which the government purposed to
hold as a source Of supply for its
ships. Large quantities of acorns
we're planted and many young oaks
set out. But the plantation was not
