THE WEATHER

Rocky Ford enterprise., 1911-09-29
y tBy CLIFFORD p1NcHoT.)

The object of forestry is to discover
and apply the principles according to
which forests are best managed. 1t
is distinct from arboriculture. which
deals with individual trees.
Forestry has to do with single
trees only as they stand together on
some large area whose principal crop
Is trees. and which therefore forms
part of a forest The forest is the
most highly organized portion of the
vegetable world. II takes It's i'm
portance less from the individual trees
which help to form 1t than from the
qualities which belong to 1t as a
whole.
Although it is composed of trees,
the forest is far more than a collec-
ton of trees standing in one place.
It has population of animals and
plants peculiar to itself. soil largely
of its own making. and a climate diff
ferent in many ways from that of the
open country. Its influence upon the
streams alone makes farming possible
in many regions. and everywhere 1t
tends to prevent floods and droughts.
1t supplies fuel. one of the first nee
essaries of life. and lumber. the raw
material. without which cities, rail-
roads. and all the great achievements
of material progress would have been
either long delayed or wholly impos-
sible.
The forest is as beautiful as 1t is
useful. The old fairy tales which
spoke of It as terrible place are
wrong. No one can really know the
forest without feeling the gentle in
fiuence of one of the kindliest ad
strongest parts of nature. From every
point of view It is one of the most
helpful friends Of man. Perhaps no
other natural agent has done so much
for the human race and has been so
recklessly used and SO little under
stood.
One of the points of deepest inter.
est to the forester is the reproductive
power of his trees. Except In the
case Of sprouts and other growth fed
by old roots. this depends first Of all
on the quantity Of the seed which
each tree bears; but SO many other
considerations affect the result that a

tree which bears seed abundantly
may not reproduce itself very we'll.
A part of the seed is always unsound.
and sometimes much the larger part.
But even a great abundance of sound
seed does not always insure good re-
production. The seeds may not find
the right surroundings for successful
termination, or the infant trees may
perish for want of water. light, or
suitable soil Where there is a thick
layer of dry leaves or needles on the
ground. seedlings often perish in great
numbers because their delicate root
let's cannot reach the fertile soil be-
meath. The same thing happens when
there is no humus at all and the sur
face is hard and dry. The weight or
the seed also has n powerful influence

A successful salesman for a hard.
ware line of goods had a novel way
last season of exciting at least a
momentary interest in his prospective
customers in the new territory he had
been given. On entering the office of

"Mr. Smith. We are both business
men with whom time is money.
only ask for three minutes of yours.
as l can oily give you three minutes
Of mine Let's be sure We keep to the
limit"
Thereupon he pulled from his peck
ct quickly and placed on the desk of
his hearer. well within his vision and
reach, reat little article of the same
shape as and patterned after the we'll
known hour glass. but containing only
sand enough to require three minutes
for its passage from the upper to the

I was engaged all day upon some i'm
portant work in my Office, and had
had no occasion to see Monsieur Bots
segur since a word or so when he
came in at ten o'clock. My attention
was called to the affair finally by his
stenographer. Monsieur Netterville.
who came to me for instructions. He
had finished the letters and the am
bassador had not returned to sign
them. At this point began an in
vestigation. Monsieur, and the further
I went the more uneasy grew.
Now, Monsieur. there are only two
entrances to the embassy-the front
attendance from nine in the morning
until ten at night. and the rear door.
which can only be reached through
the kitchen. Neither of the two men
who had been stationed at the front
door had seen the ambassador since
breakfast, therefore he could not have
gone out that way. Comprenez? It
seemed ridiculous, Monsieur. but then
l went to the kitchen. The chef had
been there all day. and he had not
seen the ambassador at all. inquired
further. No one in the embassy, not
n clerk. nor a servant, nor a member
of the ambassadors family had seen
him since he left his Office
Again he paused and ran one hand
across his troubled brow.
