Days o. dream-the summer days when
the world is still
Save for laughing breezes murmuring
across the hill.
When we look across the fields to the dis
tant wood
And the breezes sing a song never UNDER
stood;
Never clash nor claug that grinds in the
city street,
But a world OF quietness. soothing. silent,
sweet.
Splendid idle days are these where the
flowers blaze
In a scented glory all along the grassy
ways.
wild rose nodding in the wind and holly
hooks aglow
Where they stand as sentinels solemnly
arrow,
Honeysuckle tossing forth it's scents that
go adrift
TIL they break in perfume spray where
the hilltops lift.
Aye and white, white clouds that sail
through the summer blue,
Sending down a mystic hail TO the soul of
you'll
Gold and purple In the dusk and silver In
the dawn.
Casting racing shadows that speed down
the fields and on
Piling In a thousand shapes and glinung
in the sun
Till your lazy eyes half close at all ths
magic done.
Days O. dreami brook that sings and
babbles to the stones
Telling OF the treasures that the spend
thrift sunni er owns.
And the hush above IL all-the hush that
is a song
Which the heart has hungered for these
mary days and long.
Can the little road that loafs and ram
bes up and down
Ever lead our feet again back TO the
noisy town?

Damages Awarded to Government
for Destruction of Young
Forest Growth,

In an action for fire trespass on the
Black Hills National Forest brought by
the United States against the Missouri
River and Northwestern Railroad, the
jury has awarded damages to the Gov
eminent not only for the loss of mer-
charitable timber but also for the de-
struction of understandable young
growth.
This is regarded by Government Of
ficials as establishing a very important
precedent. So far as is known at the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, it is
the first time that any court has recog-
niZed what foresters call the "expecta-
ton value of young growth as furnish
ing a basis for the award of damages.
The difficulty in the way of such an
award in the past has been that there
was no way to prove to the satisfaction
of the ourts the money value of the loss
suffered.
The award in the South Dakota case
followed the presentation of evidence
as to the cost of work in r~eforesting
which the Government is actually doing
in the Black Hills.
The amount claimed for the young
growth burned was $12 an acre, and the
claim under this item was allowed in
full by the jury. The total amount of
damages claimed was SO, 728. 50, of
nrhinh 60 HOi Az uac e., ooralo-+oL1
timber destroyed OF injured by the fire.
1t is recognized by foresters that the
cost of artificial reforestation will not
always furnish a fair basis for estimat-
ing the damage to forest reproduction.
Where new growth can be expected
by natural sowing from seed-trees on
the ground within a short time, arti-
fetal planting or sewing is an unneces-
sarily expensive method. To meet such
cases what are known as "yield tables"
are being prepared. By the use of
these the loss can be shown in terms of
the final crop and the time necessary to
produce it.
Thus, if it is known that ten thousand
feet of timber per acre can be cut once
in seventy years, it is easy to calculate
the value of the crop when it is ter
years old by %discounting from its value
when mature. In European countries
where forestry has been long practicec
this method is regularly applied in sell
ling, c%ondemning, or estimating dana.

abroad in insurance, which would be
impracticable if there were not both al
accepted basis for determining the los.
suffered and a reasonably accurate
knowledge of the hazard involved.
