PAYS TO PLANT TREES.
Commissioner COnkIin Hopes To
Restore the Forests OF The
State.

state.
Through cooperation of all de-
partments of the state government
concerned in conservation of natur-
al resources is necessary to re-estab-
lish the Pennsylvania forests, ac-
cording to the Harrisburg Patriot, to
proper degree in the opinion of
State Commissioner of Forestry r.
S. Conklin.
Commissioner Conklin emphasizes
this point in a recent report to the
State Board of Agriculture, and also
brings sharply home to the. farmer
the financial return to be derived
from planting trees, a good wood
crop being just as valuable as a
good wheat crop, even though it
does take longer to mature.
Commissioner Conklin points out
that trees are of especial value be-
cause they will grow where no other
crop will grow, and also because they
tend to improve farming conditions
generally by holding or restoring
the general quality of the soil and
conserving the water supply
In his report Commissioner Conk-
lin says: 1T is the duty of a gov
ernment to perpetuate itself, and in
perpetuating itself there is further
duty to provide for the common well
fare of its citizens. With these OBJ
jects in view it is wise for a state to
see to it that every square foot of
soil, the source of wealth, be made
to produce it's highest revenue.
Whenever elements of production
are allowed to be washed, the whole
moral fiber of those in connection
with the waste is lowered and gen.
eral dissatisfaction follows. The

Reciprocity And The Farmers.

The Canadian reciprocity agree
ment negotiated by President Taft
and Secretary Knox is manifestly un-
fair to the farmer. 1t is not framed
on the lines of exact justice. In
most cases it preserves the high tar
iff protection that the manufacturer
enjoys, while at the same time Civ
ing Canada free trade in farm pro-
ducts, lumber and fish. The Dem
ocrats do not indorse this discrimi-
nation, but they strongly favor the
agreement because they regard it
as the first breach in the high-tariff
wall, as the first step toward freer
trade with Canada. The Democrats
in the House supported the agree
ment almost solidly. The prospects
are that it will receive almost as
strong Democratic support in the
Senate.
Both Senator Raynor and Senator
Smith have announced that they
will vote for the agreement; not that
they approve all it's terms, but they
consider it a step in the right direc-
ton. The delegation of Maryland
farmers who called on the Senators
to protest against the adoption of
the agreement express the feeling of
the farmers throughout the country,
that the agricultural interests have
not been accorded the same meas
ure of consideration as were the
manufacturing and commercial in
terests, But the changes that will
be wrought by the arrangement with
Canada are not likely to affect the
Maryland farmers in an appreciable
degree. Possibly the prices of but
ter, eggs, cheese and various farm
products may be affected to a slight
extent in some communities close to

In the villages of Brittany I've
watched the peasants dance;
On the lovely lake of Como l have
seen the blue sky
Match the blue of placid water, tint

I've beheld the German war-lord and
his handsome, stalwart sons,
With the "Kaiserin" and "kinder"

I've seen princesses and princes
English, Spanish, Swedish, all
Plain and pretty, dull and clever,
rich and poor, and short and
tall.
In the wonder-town of Nuremberg
I've fingered, loath to go;
BY a fretted Moorish palace heard
the fountains splash and flow;
And I've been to Monte Carlo

THE NIGHT WIND.

Have you ever heard the wind go
Yoooo?
'Tis a pitiful sound to hear!
1t seems to chill you through and
through
With a strange and speechless
fear.
'Tis the voice of the night that broods
outside
When folks should be asleep,
And many and many's the time I'ye
cried
To the darkness brooding far and
wide
Over the land and the deep;
Whom do you want, o lonely night,
Ihat you wall the long hours
through?'
And the wind would say in its
ghostly way:
'Yooooooooo!
'Yooooooooo!
Yooooooooo!"
My mother told me long ago
(When | was a little lad)
That when the wind went wailingsse
Somebody had been bad;
And then, when | was snug in bed,
Whittier | had been sent,
With the blankets pulled up round
my nedQ,
I'd think of what my mother said,
And wonder what boy she meant!
And who's been bad to-day?" I'd
ask
OF the wind that hoarsly blew,
And the voice would say in it's mean
ingful way:
"Yooooooooo!
'Yooooooooo,
Yooooooooo!"
That this was true | must allow
You'll not believe it, though!
Yes, though I'm quite a model now,
was not always so.
And If you doubt what things / say,
Suppose you make the test,
Suppose, when you've been bad some
day
And up to bed are sent away
From mother and the rest
suppose you ask, who has been
bad?"
And then you'll hear what's true;
For the wind will moan, in it's rue
fullest tone:
"Yooooooooo!
"Yooooooooo!
Yooooooooo!"
