Throughout the country the govern
ment is encouraging the planting of
forests by private landowners, and the
total area planted in the past few years
is enormous. In Nebraska alone there
are at present some 2S6, 600 acres of
planted forests. The public is being
educated to appreciate the commercial
value of these forests.
The forests of the country constitute
an enormous source of the national
wealth. 1t is estimated that the value
of the forests for a single year is
81 $50, 600, OO0 To realize what this
total signifies, it is interesting to point
out that it is some fifteen times the
value of the annual gold and silver
output In addition to this the forests
are safeguard against floods, winds,
snowsides and moving sands, and have
a direct influence upon the rainfall.
The presence of great masses of trees
modifes the temperature, doing away
in large measure with extremes both of
heat and cold. The presence of for
est, 1t has been observed, lowers the
heat average more than seven degrees,
while raising the temperature in winter

THE GRANGE
Conducted by
J. W. BARROW. Chatham. N. r.,
Editor Of the New York State Grange
ReUieD
GRANGE INTEREST
IN FARM SCHOOLS.
county Grange Deputies Organize to
Assist an Agricultural School and
Develop General Interest.

1t is a good thing to see the grange
officials of a county or counties taking
an active interest in our agricultural
schools and in the teaching of agricul-
lure in the public schools. The latest
In evidence of such interest was the
attendance of the county grange mas
iers and county grange deputies of JEFF
rerson, St Lawrence, OSwego, Lewis
and Franklin counties of New York on
conference held at the state school of
agriculture at Canton recently. With
two or three exceptions every one of
the officials named was present and
took an active part in the discussions
to increase the interest in the school
and make suggestions for its advance
ment. After visiting and inspecting
the buildings and premises an organi-
cation was formed of the county depu-
ties for the purpose of arOusing a
stronger interest in northern New York
in the agricultural school. 1t is the
purpose to make the school the active
working center for the upbuilding Of
the agricultural life of that section of
the state. President Gunnison express
ed the desire to have the school in
closer relationship with the grange and
its work.
Such interest in our public educa
tional institutions is obviously the duty
as we'll as the privilege of the grange.
1t is one of the things for which it is
organized. 1t comes fully within its
province of activities. Wherever
there are educational institutions de-
voted to the instruction of our young
men and women in agriculture and
the household arts, there the grange
should become active not merely pas
sive, in the promotion of all endeavors
to increase the usefulness of the insti-
tuition. And this is not by passing
resolutions only. but by doing some
particular thing. performing some def
mite service. The example of the
grange officials of the northern tier Is
commendable. Let similar officials Of
other sections and other states take
pattern after it.

PROTECTION OF BIRDS.
What Massachusetts Grange Is Doing
ALONG This Line.

For four years the Massachusetts
state grange has had committee on
the protection of wild birds, whose
duties have been the support of legis-
lation and proposed legislation for
their protection and to oppose such
measures as seek to extend the open
season and to remove protection in
any way. The chairman of that COM
mittee is Raymond ]. Gregory of
Princeton. Mass, who has bsen styled
an enthusiastic devotee of "the sport
of bird study" He has been and still
is an important factor in protecting
the bird life of the state and of the
country from annual onslaughts Of
mercenary bird hunters and used his
influence as well as that of his COM
mittee in behalf of the McLean-Weeks
bill, which passed congress by the
largest majority given any bill that
had come before that body. The COM
mittee has held many meetings the
past winter, has appeared at legisla-
tive hearings, has issued much litera-
ture and otherwise sought to arouse
public sentiment in behalf of the wild
birds all over the state. Professor E.
II. Forbush. state ornithoogist, has
been untiring in his efforts to aid the
grange committee in the furtherance
OF these protective measures.
Bird study should have its place on
the literary program of every grange
at least once a year and as much
oftener as circumstances will war
rant. Stereopticon views can be used
to good advantage in these studies.
and slides can usually be procured of
the state education department or
through the state ornithologist. We
observe that the state ornithologist of
Connecticut gave an illustrated bird
lecture before a Connecticut grange on
"The Value and Profit of the Wild
Birds on the Farm" in which he set
forth many interesting and profitable
features of bird life Where experts
can be secured land it will be found
that they are quite accommodating in
this particularly an entire evening at
the grange can well be devoted to this
phase of nature study.

THE Long Trail which is to run
from one end of Vermont to the other,
over the tops of the Green Mountains
and through the valleys between them,
is taking definite form, says the Youths
Companion. Lovers of mountain tramps
find stretch of the trai, thirty-five
miles in length, now ready for them
over Killington, Pico, Cancels Hump
and Horrid mountains, and a crew of
woodsmen are busy on another long
link, through the wilderness between
Cancels Hump and Lincoln. The state
forestry department was quick to see
the value of this continuous mountain
pathway, and is using it as a line of
patrol for the forest fire wardens to
follow. The department has set up
lookouts at convenient points, and will
use the trail as a road over which to
hurry crews of file-fghters when an
emergency arises. This use of the
trail every summer will help to keep it
open, even If walking parties do not
take advantage of the glorious tramp
that it offers. Both in its length, and
in its nature, the completed trail will
give tourists an added nducement to
visit Vermont.

The forests of the country once
covered some 700, 900, 900 acres of land
and were the richest in the world.
Today, through neglect and waste, the
total has been enormously reduced. A
startling effect of the neglect of our
forests is to be observed in the Missis-
sippi Valley. Thirty years ago, boats
drawing seven feet of water ran regu-
larly to st. Paul. Today, boats of
one-haf this draught have difficulty in
making the same trir. With the dis
appearance of the trees floods have
become common, and the once mex
haustible supply of water-power is
being rapidly eXhauted. The Christian

The annual report of New York S
state fire marshal contains impressive
figures regarding the value of property
lost through preventable causes. In
1912 there were Is, 633 fires in Greater
New York, and the average loss was
$3.50. In the rest of the state there
were ~, S35 fires, with an average loss
of $1,000. Eighty per cent of them are
attributed to carelessness or ignorance.
The marshall says that the way to re-
duce losses is to 'provide popular iu-
cation in fire prevention, and its i'm
portance over fre-fghting. The con-
vincing argument for such education is
found in his tables showing fire losses.

THE HURST CASE UP BEFORE
JUDGE BULLOCK ON p WRIT
OF HABEAS CORPUS

: Mrs. ]. w. Hurst and her son, ]. H.
Simpson, charged with being Access
series before and after the fact in
the killing of Louis E. Boiler by ]. w.
Hurst some weeks ago, the details
of which have already appeared in
these columns, were up before Judge
Bullock Tuesday forenoon on a writ
of Habeas corpus. The writ was sued
out by Hon. w. X Zewadski, counsel
for the defendants, and in presenting
the same to the court made some
what of an elaborate argument.
The state was represented by Hon.
George w. Scofield of Inverness, re-
Gently appointed state attorney, vice
Edwin w. Davis, resigned. and Judge
William Gober, who looked after the
interests of the state before the com
hitting magistrate, Judge w. E.
Smith.
Both gentlemen made an argument
before Judge Bullock.
Before rendering his decision
Judge Bullock entered very fully into
the details of the case, showing an
intimate knowledge of it in all its
bearings.
He failed to see any preconceived
plan to kill Mr.. Boiler on the part of
the defendants, and hence had not
conspired one with the other to do
so.
He held, however, that in tatempt-
ing to shoot Mr.. Boiler after the fight
between Hurst and Boiler had ter
minated, constituted a distinct and
separate offense, and for which
young Simpson would have to an
swer before the grand jury at its
next session.
He fixed the young mans bond in
the sum of three thousand dollars
AS to Mrs. Hurst, he held that the
testimony did not fix her as a con-
spirator or an accomplice of her hus-
band in the killing of Mr.. Boiler, but
when the fight was over and she
struck the wounded man over the
head with the butt end of her buggy
whip that it was wanton and uncalled
for and constituted separate of
tense, and she was held for her ap-
pearance before tn grand jury in the
sum of two hundred and fifty dol
lars.

Irene Mente and Evan D. Slattery
and to Catherine Anna Mente and
Kettrell d. Mahon.
The two young copies eloped Mon
day night during the absence of the

quietly married. The news of their
elopement was telepohned to this
city Tuesday morning.
The brides are both very young

brides.
