All the weight of scientific investi-
CATION into the subject of forest cover
and the control of stream flow indi-
Gates that trees have most import
ant part to play in holding back the
rainfall
In order to settle this controversy
for all time and by actual experience
instead of through deduction alone,
the United States government has
established, an experiment station at
Wagon Wheel Gap, Colo, where the
relation of forest cover to steam
flow will be shown through observa
ton extending over long period of
years. This experiment includes the
study of two independent water
sheds. each containing a living stream
of the type familiar to the Rocky
mountain country Each water shed
is fairly we'll forested. The expert
ment was begun in the summer Of
1910. Everything that can enter into
the question of stream-flow is being
accurately recorded by experts at this
station. After the records have been
continued for several years. one wa
ater shed will be denuded of all its
| timber and a set of comparative rec
| ords will be started The records of
the soil wash in the concrete settling
basin of this water shed, as taken
before and after the denudiation of
the slopes will prove whether trees
have real economic value in preventing
rapid erosion of soil. The compara-
tive height of the stretm before and
after removing forest cover, will show
exactly what effect trees have in reg
ulating stream-flow in general. There
will be no disputing the records
made by the"e scientists at Wagon
Wheel Gap. fo~ most of the entries
are automatic, being made by the lat
est devices used in meteorological
work, stream gauging. etc.
If the experiment shows the peo-
pie of the middle west how forest re-
storation will gradually eliminate
this annual springtime horror. it will
be worth untold millions to future
generations.

LIBRARY NOTES.


At this season of the year, our
feathered friends who have been
spending the winter months in the
Southland, are returning to take up
their summer abode with us. In many
sections of the country, bird fanciers
provide houses for them and some
have even marked them with num-
bered metallic bands and have the
pleasure of renewing acquaintance
with them each successive season. If
you would provide yourself with a
fascinating pastime, get some bird
books and learn the art of making
friends with a feathered colony. The
study of bird life and the cultivation
of an acquaintance of individual birds
is most interesting and profitable as
well.
We would like to call your atten-
/ tion to the collection Of bird pictures
| which we have on exhibit in the IL
brary, the work of some Of the school
children. We also have a very good
collection of bird books, a list OF
which you may obtain at the desk
at any time. Two particularly good
