WASHlNGTON'S FOREST FIRES
state Forester Issues 1912 Report OF
Work and Expenses of His
Dena ri mept
Department

|
Olympia.--ln his report to the state
board of commissioners J. r. Welty
the state forester and fire warden
shows that if the $4,000 appropriated
for the years 1911 and 1912. S34.9Sl
was used the first year and $23,77O the
second, leaving an unexpended balance
OF S16,355 The fact that the expenses
IN 1912 were materially less than those
IN 1911 is due in large part to the un.
usual weather last summer. There
were some bad fires in May, but June
July and August succession of light
showers dissipated any fear of further
loss, In this period many slashings
were burned under the supervision OF
the fire wardens and rangers.
The state employed fire wardens in
70 counties, the eastern ones being

kane. In the summer months when
the rain had left the forests damp,
making it possible to burn out the
slashings without doing damage to the
standing timber, there were 704S per.
missions given for the burning of
slashings, and, including cut-over
lands, SAL ,56S acres were cleared in
this way. This burning was not con-
Quoted without accidents, however, and
unintentional fires ran over 7O172
acres additional.
10,25O Acres Lost.
There were 10,250 acres of timber
lost by fire last year, part of which
was merchantable and part of which
would have been later.
There were no arrests for violation
OF the forest laws in the eastern coun-
ties, where there were fire wardens
and rangers, but in the western coun-
ties more than 1896 was taken in fines
for offenses of all sorts.
Last spring the state board of forest
commissioners made an application for
the cooperation of the federal authori-
ties under the Weeks law and asked
that the sum of $4,000 be allotted to
this state. The application was al
lowed and 33 additional patrol men
were employed at cost of $221S.

Can Be Prevented.
In answer to the question, Can for
est fires be prevented?" Mr.. Welty re.
plies that in large part they can. They
may at least be reduced to minimum
by the removal of all inflammable ma.
terlal on cut-over lands and along the
borders of standing green timber.
Fires do not start in green timber but
always in the mass of dry timber
refuse allowed to remain on cut-oyer
tracts.

There were displays showing the II
per cent loss that actually occurs be-
cause Of careless handling, and the ad-
vantsges Of using private egg cartons,
and of grading for size, shape and color.
Sanitation as a preventive Of poultry
diseases was given special emphasis.
The dangers resulting from from filthy
grounds and inherited weak vitality due
to poor breeding stock were prominent
lY featured together with general meth
DDS Of prevention, treatment Of drinking
water, treatment for lice, mites, etc.
Specimens Of various poultry diseases
were important features Of this exhibit.

The How and Why Of Poultry Raising.

A two-day poultry demonstration is
the latest thing at the College Of Ag-
riculture, Columbia, Mo. Such dem
onstration was given by the poultry de-
partment on Thursday and Friday,
May 2nd and 3rd, and was attended
by two hundred people.
Twelve incubators illustrating various
makes and types were in actual opera
tion and served to demonstrate the
process Of Matching chicks with the
wooden hen" Several Of them had
been timed to bring out their matches
on May 2nd. A dozen different kinds
Of brooders containing over 700 chicks
were in use. These showed all the
types ranging from the hen, hot watel
Jugs and ireless brooders, 10 those
heated By coal stove.

The primary election law requires
that all candidates for Offices TO be filed

mated on party ticket on the first
Tuesday in August. Candidates for
any office to be filed by electors Of
more than one county must file dec
laration Of their candidacy with the sec
retary Of state 90 days before the first
Tuesday in August, and such declara-
tion must be accompanied by a receipt
from the treasurer Of the state commit

TeChniCaIitiss VS.. Justice.

Now that complaint has been voiced
against the tendency Of American
courts TO exalt technicalities above
justice and the wishes Of the people,
sensible members Of the American bar
will begin to see and to point out the
deplorable weakness of our judicial
system. Mere theorists may not ap-
preciate the demand for simple justice,
but a man who has spent hundreds Of
dollars to win just judgment in court
only to find that his case must be tried
again because Of some trifing defect
in court procedure or a harmless error
Of the trial Judge fully appreciates the
demand for more law, more justice and
fewer learned deliverences about legal
technicalities. The bench may be
quite independent, free and untram'
melled and yet may not necessarily be
swayed BY the arguments Of the bar
and the precedents Of courts instead Of
the merits Of a cause on trial. There's
the whole trouble. Both the bench
and the bar should take cognizance Of
it and seek a remedy.

Farmers Institute Meetings.

It has been the custom in this state
to hold Farmers Institute meetings at
such places as manifest sufficient in
terest, and at such times as may suit
the convenience Of the speakers. This
plan has worked we'll ia the past, but
often increases the cost Of such meet
ings by necessitating longer trips and
more railroad expense. It is therefore
desired that some method be adopted
that will reduce the cost and also in
crease the efficiency Of institute work.
With this object in view, the state
board Of agriculture instructed this
Office to divide the state into districts
according to the facilities for travel and
the interest in the institute work, as
shown in the past. After carefully con
sidering all the conditions and the
needs Of the people, we have divided
the state into six districts, and have
given to each district four weeks time.
This time is to be divided into two
periods Of two weeks each to better
suit the various conditions.
The fifth district embraces Taney,
Stone, Christian, Douglass, Ozark and
sixteen other counties, and is given
two weeks from September 10th to Sep.
tember 28th, and another two weeks
from March Sd to March 18th.
The public is notified Of these dates
through the press and any community
desiring to hold an institute should at
once notify this Office, giving the iacil-
tiles for handling the audience, and
such other details as will show the
probable success Of the meeting. Such
notices should be in this office at least
90 days before the institute period, so
that the dates may be arrange d at e
minimum expense.
II you want Farmers Institute,
consult your neighbors, talk it up, and
it the interest promises to justify the
cost, write to me, giving all your con-
dition. A date will then be set for the
institute at your place and speakers
assigned to meet the requirements.
In arranging such meetings, prefer.
ence will be given to communities
where farmers clubs have been organ
lied and are in good working condition.

Faithful Service.

As a reward for faithful service, the
management OF the Missouri Pacific
Iron Mountain Railroad has decided tc
issue annual passes TO employees who
have worked for that company fifteen
years or longer. About 1900 employees
will receive these passes, including
agents, conductors, engineers, brake,
man, train baggagemen, switchmen,
firemen, hostlers, telegraphers, bridge
and building foremen and section
ioremen.
The rules covering the extension ol
this courtesy to employees are: For
fifteen years continuous service an EN-.
ploye receives annual transportation for
himself over the division on which he
is employed; for twenty years contin-
uouS service an annual pass for himself
and wife over the division, and after
twenty-five years continuous service
annual transportation for himself and
wife over the entire Missouri Pacific,
Iron Mountain system Of nearly 1900
miles.
R. W. Waters, a conductor on a sub.
urban train running out OF St. Louis,
is now in his Sind year Of continuous
employment. Beginning work for the
the Missouri Pacific before the civil
war, he has not changed employers,
and is the oldest man in point Of SER
vice on the entire system. He will
receive system pass for himself and
wife.
John Cook, and his son, both en-
ployed on the Central Kansas division
as passenger engineers, under the Is
years Of service ruling are entitled to
annual passes for themselves and wives.
In the territory from St. Louis south
to the Arkansas state line and from St.
Louis west to Kansas City considerably
more than 500 men are affected. From
Kansas City west, taking in the state o
Kansas, something over 500 passes vii
be distributed, while in Arkansas arc
Louisiana about 800 employees will ben
eft by this courtesy.

Baltimore seems to have lost its place
in the public mind as convention city
since the contest between the president
and the ex'president has assumed thrill

now, month before the republican

the scene Of the greatest political event
in American history. The delegates
who are to meet in Chicago will name
a president. Those who are to meet
in Baltimore will merely name a can

Planting COWpeas and Soy Beans.

where it is to be grown and how it is
10 be harvested are all matters that
must be considered.
The time Of planting may be from
late corn planting time up TO the mid
die OF July. When planted as late as
the middle Of July, seed cannot be
matured, but when the weather is sea-
sonable and the soil good, a fair hay
crop or crop to be plowed under for
green manure may be secured. When
planted for hay, they should be soWn
by the first day Of June. Cowpeas are
warm weather plants and cannot endure
