The Forest Service is raising several
acres of Bigtree seedlings on the Tahoe
National forest in California, at more
northerly point than any natural Big
tree grove. While the giant sequoias
are found in the forests of the Sierras
at various points throughout a total
range of some $50 miles, in the northern
two-thirds of this range there is prac-
tically no natural reproduction. 1t has
consequently been question whether
the species would not practically dis
appear from this region when the
present mature trees die.
The most northern existing grove of
Bigtrees is on the Tahoe forest, but
about "a miles southeast of the site
selected for planting. This site is on a
moist fiat not far from Nevada City,
and is about 2,700 feet above sea level.
The first seeding was done in the fall of
1910, with very successful results, and
last fall an additional area was seeded
The method used in planting the seed
was that known to foresters as "the
seed spot method" Spots about 6 feet
apart each way were prepared by
pulverizng the earth with a garden
hoe. Seeds were then dropped on these
spots and lightly pressed in the soil
with the foot. The flourishing condi-
ton of the young seedlings gives good
reason to expect future growth of
Bigtrees at this point. With protection
of forests from fire there seems to be
no reason why the Bigtrees should dis
appear, even though scientists regard
them as survivals from a past age,
botanically speaking.

Montana's coal production has in
creased steadily during the last three
years, the gains being due chiefly to the
development in the Bull Mountain field,
which was opened in 1908 after the con-
struction of the Chicago, Milwaukee q
Puget Sound railway through it. In its
increased production in 1911 over 1910
Montana furnished marked exception
to the condition prevalent among the
Rocky Mountain States. The increase
was not large but in year of general
decrease it was relatively important,
though attended by a slight decline in
price. In 1910 the production of the
Bull Mountain field was divided between
Fergus and Yellowstone counties. In
1911 new county, Musselshell, was
created which embraces all of this new
field, and the new county appears with
a production of FOG, 364 tons. Some of
the. Montana Goals possess coking quality
and considerable quantities of coke have
been made in Park county. All the
ovens were idle, however, in 1911.
The number of men reported as en-
ployed in the coal mines of Montana in
1911 was 8, 1866. The average production
per man was ITO tons for the year and
3.5 tons for each working day.
Only two labor disturbances were re-
ported during 1911. In one 118 men
were idle 20 days and in the other All
were idle IA days. The total time lost
was not sufficient to influence the pro-
duction.

Professor Alfred Vivian, dean of the
Ohio State university, says: THE
grange has always stood for the best
things in rural life. 1t already has a
membership running into hundreds of
thousands. and it is steadily growing.
1t is not too much to prophesy that it
will continue to increase as an infuen-
tial force in rural advancement. 1t is
not hard to believe that the ambition
of the grange to take its place beside
the school and the church as one of a
trinity of forces that shall mold the life
of the farmer on the broadcast possible
basis, bids fair TO he fulfilled"

Among the willing workers which
work for nothing and board themselves
are the birds, which have often been
called 1.-The farmers best friend. "
They assist the farmer in three distinct
ways-as insect eaters, as consumers of
weed seed and as destroyers of large
numbers of field mice, gophers and
other rodents. Entomologists estimate
that the destruction of agricultural pro-
ducts from insects amounts to over
$500, 900, 600 year. What it might be
were not such vast army of birds en-
gagged daily from dawn until dark in
making war upon these various insect
pests can only be vaguely realized, says
Farm and Home.
Among the birds that eat insects are
the fly. catchers, warblers, swallows
and chimney swifts, which live exclu-
sively on insects. Many others, such
as the backbirds and several varieties
of hawks depend on insects for large
part of their food. The meadow lark
has large appetite for insects and in
the course of a season ribs the meadows
and pastures of countless pests that
are injurious to crops. Even the
much-abused crow has a fondness for
cutworms that almost equals his liking
for corn.
AS seed eaters some birds are most
tireless. To this group belong the
large number of sparrows. Many
other birds eat seeds; in fact, most
birds eat both insects and seeds in
varying amounts. A large number of
birds feed on field mice, gophers, ground
squirrels, moles, etc., chief of all being
hawks and owls.

Mayor David F. O'Connell, of Wor-
cester, Mass, offers a bounty of 10
cents hundred on dead flies, says the
Albany Times Union. The crusade
against the pestiferous muscae is to be
waged by school children. There is a
clearness and vigor in the mayors man.
ifesto which recalls the fervor and zeal
of Pope Urban II addressing the as
sembled hosts in the great square of
Clermont: 81 call upon you to wipe off
these impurities from the face of the
earth.
A fly crusade, to be successful, must
be started early. The first preliminary
faint buzzing and wisping is call to
arms. SKATERS should be ready for
them before the premonitory tickling of
the scouts antennae announce an i'm
minent inrushing poisonous swarm.
Why-in all enthusiastically not close
all the schools in town on an appointed
day, and set it apart as Swattiag Day?
Prof Washburn demonstrates in the
Popular Science magazine that a single
pair of ordinary house flies will beget in
four months p trillions of progeny.
This is quite enough of an argument to
emphasize the Importance of beginning
the swatting process as early in the
season as possible.

Appreciation of Vermont Farms,

While the era Of high prices is bear
ing somewhat heavily upon the con-
sumers in different directions, we are
reminded that this i'll wind is bringing
prosperity to host Of landowners
throughout the country, and particu-
larly in Vermont, where farm land has
been unusually and unreasonably low.
An observing citizen of Orleans coun-
ty says that a number of good Cana
dian farmers have been coming across
the line and purchasing farms, and that
property Of this class which went beg
cling few years ago for 500 now
sells for $40, 600 and other farms sell in
proportion.
We hav mind well known citi-
zen of Ad acounty, who bought a
farm for D., and who was recently
offered 81, 500 for the property, although
part of the increased valuation should
be credited to improved farm buildings.
These instances which might be multi
piled almost without limit vindicate the
assertions we have frequently made in
these columns, that Vermont farm lands
constitute the very best kind of an in
vestment for those who know how to
handle this class of property.
The effects of this increased valuation
of Vermont farm lands and the conse-
quently added attractions of this State
as a region favorable for the estab-
fishing of homes are to be seen in part
in the return to Vermont of people who
migrated from the State years ago,
and in some instances the children of
former residents of the State are com
ing back to the old home.
We welcome these evidences of in
creasing thrift and success on the part
of our farmers as a class, for we should
never lose sight of the fact that the sol
is the foundation of our prosperity, as
commonwealth, and that the posses
sion of increased wealth among this
class of our citizens means better educa.
ton for the sons and daughters of oui
State as a whole and the higher life
which follows in the train of such de.

in statement just issued by the United

The figures show an increase over the
production for the previous year, which
was 2,920,970 short tons, valued at

Two Bodies Found.

st. Johnsbury, June 1.-The bodies
of Herbert Smythe and Miss Ellen
Ellis, two of the victims of the Mem
orial Day drowning accident were dis
covered early last evening. The girls
body was found quarter of mile be-
low the scene of the accident. This led
to a more thorough search of the i'm
mediate vicinity and Mr.. Smyth's body
was found only few feet away. There
was no coat on the mans body which
would indicate that he made a desper-
ate effort to either save himself or the
others. The body not recovered is that
of Miss Helen Smythe. A large force
is now engaged in the search for her,
dynamite being frequently resorted to.
