Desirable for Settlers.

For homestead purposes some of the
forest farm lands are very desirable for
settlers. They include. as a rule. not only
land that is naturally fertile. but some
that is protected and secluded inside the
big government tract. Some of the little
mountain meadows are picturesque and
valuable we'll
There is good deal of the forest re-
gion that either through fire or for some
other reason, has become deforested, and
an effort is being made to haye this re-
covered either by seeding or planting
trees from the national forest nurseries
There were 3O,OD acres covered this way
last year. and the work of reforestation
is progressing about at that rate. In
wears when there are exceptionally heavy
seed crops the work Of planting Is made
secondary to seed collection.
New and cheaper methods of collecting
forest seed are being developed, and
about 10000 pounds was collected last
wear. at an average cost of S1.6S pound.
1t has been found by experiment that the
best results in planting are secured with
seed grown in the region TO be reforested.

IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE
One Forester Can Now Garry a Com
plete Outfit.
WANT FARM LANDS TAKEN UP
New and Cheaper Methods of Col
Letting Forest Seed Are Now
Being Developed.

The-iSftinS apparatus VIII ne HSei
more extensively than ever this year in
the national forests. The Department of
Agriculture is making ela borate plans
along this line. This government takes
the lead in developing this sort of me-
chanical aid to the forester. The extent
of the national forests and the great
amount of Waterless territory make it
!, necessary.
The slowneSs OF Congress in passing
the appropriation bills last year caused
the department to lose practically a
whole seasons work and an effort is be-
ing made to catch up this winter and
during the coming season. The new APP
paratus includes chemical eXtinSuishers,
fireproof face and body guards and pack
saddle outfits. by means of which a for
ester going to a fire can carry guam
tity of water and chemicals on a led
horse and do the work of a score of
men following the old method of back
firing and beating out a ground fire by
hand.
So compact and powerful has the APP
paratus been made that two men and
four horses can be rushed to threat
ened point over any sort of trail, or no
trail at all. and by timely work, can
| head off fire that otherwise would do
thousands of dollars worth of damage
before adequate force could be col
| lected to fight it by the old methods.
Effort to Have Lands Taken Up.
In the same connection an effort is be-
ing made by the department to encourage
the taking up Of farm lands in and
| around the national forests wherever the
land is more valuable for agriculture
than for forest purposes. Secretary VIII
son says that in making the first reserva-
ton of national forest lands the object
was to protect the area as fully as pos
Sible and keep it out of the hands of
timber spectators.
Thus there was large amount of aSri-
cultural land included i'm the forest with
draWals. These boundaries have been
gone over more slowly and carefully and
10C00.0GW acres have been restored to en-
try. This land is principally along the
borders Of the forest, but there are many
valleys and deep indentatiOns that are
included in the tracts that have been re-
opened. There is other land also abso
of this has not yet been surveyed and
eliminated, but there are about 4,oOo,OW
acres of such land, and the department
is trying to get it settled as quickly as
possible. because the presence of settlers
is desirable as an auxiliary fire protec
ton.
Wherever there are such farms inside
the forest boundaries the settlers are
being organized TO cooperate with the
forest guards and patrols, forming a sort
of secondary line of fire defense. These
auXiliaries already have been found very
useful by the department.

girl into acute embarrassment, and
her hands sought to screen them
