United States Department of Agri-
culture, Office of the Secretary,
Washington. D. C.

The United States, says the De-
partment of Agriculture, is probably
the largest consumer OF C~ircassian
walnut, one Of the worlds best known
and most expensive cabinet woods.
The high cost OF Circassian walnut
is due to the scarcity Of the
beautifully figured variety demanded
for furniture and interior finish, for
the tree itself Is more widely distrib-
uted than almost any other Of COM
mercial Importance, The demand for
the best wood, however, has always
outrun the supply. Even In the eigh-
tenth century, when wars In Europe
were frequent, so much Circassian
walnut was used for gnnstocks that
the supply u seriously depleted.
Early in the nineteenth century the
wood of IL, 600 trees was used for this
purpose alone. Single trees, contain
ing choice bnrls or due bird's-eye f.
CURES have sold for more than o 900.
The tree is native to the eastern
slopes Of the Caucasus and ranges
eastward to the foothills of the Hima-
laya Mountains, from which it ex-
tends southwark to northern India
and the mountains Of upper Burma.
It has been widely planted in Europe
and the United States, In this couu-
try under the name Of English wal
nut, The wood grown here, however,
has not the qualities demanded by
the cabinet and furniture maker.
Much Of the Circassian walnut now
used comes from the Black Sea and
from other parts Of Asia.
According to circular just issued
by the Forest Service the demand for
Circassian walnut has resulted In the
substitution OF other woods. Our own
red gun Is often sold Is Circassian
walnut, and butternut Is also similar
In general appearance to the less
highly figured grades. Many good
African, Asian and South American
woods resemble Circassian walnut,
Though none possesses the magnif-
cent figure, delicate tones, and velvety
texture Of the latter. i
The circular discusses the supply
opd usss Of Circaasian walnut, and

plants blossomed the first year and
yielded n ounre of seed. In 1912
plants were cut in June; second crop
did not mature seed, This spring the
crowns of the plants we're one foot
across. The hay cut from one of the
parent plants, weighed five pounds.
This was the weight cut green.
Comment by Prof. N. e. Hansen:
At 81. lbs. cured hay per plant, a field
set In hills at 2x4, or 5445 plants per
acre, would yield 25S tons. Plants
yielding five pounds Of hay each, II in
hills 2x4 feet, or 5445 plants per acre,
would yield over thirteen tons green
forage to the acre. 1t indicates that
alfalfa set in rows and cultivated will
do better, In dry seasons at least, than

Where Shall the Secretary Of the
Interior Come From?

Rapid City, -. OAK, Jan u, 1919
Editor Golfers:
In the Issue OF your magazine dated
the 18th you suggest that Mr.. Wilson
should retain q Secretary OF the In
tsrior who gives confidence to the
East, that the heritage of the people
will be kept secure from thieves; at
the sape time his Intelligent willing
to guide and help legitimate
development makes him satisfactory
to the West"
Will you permit q Western reader
OF your very able and patriotic journ-
q to offer some reasons why the West
desires : Western man At the head OF
the Department. OF the Interior?
It Is unfortunate, IL true, that
there ID mutual distrust between the
East and the West upon the subject
" conservation. The West believes
that the people of the East, who
ruthlessly destroyed their own forests
for their own Immediate advantage,
would now go to the opposite extreme
Ia dealing with the West, and utterly
blight large areas of the mountain
States by condemning them to re-
main Wild, uninhabited wastes, called
ssNational Forests" indeed, that is
what the National Government is
actually doing. On the other hand,
the East believes that the people OF
the West are eager to sacrifice their
permanent for present gain,
Just q their Eastern forbears did in
years past.
The writer hereof has lived nearly
thirty years in the mountain States
of the West, for the past seven years
On the edge OF the "Black Hills Ma
tional Forest" and feels competent
To speak Of conditions existing here.
The unanimous sentiment Of Western
people Is hostile to the lumber ex-
ploiters who would land actually do
destroy every acre OF woodland they
can buy, cutting down mere poles as
we'll - large trees, and working up
everything that is big enough to
make lath. But people are also
to the marrow Eastern idea that the
whole vast area Of these 'snational
forssts' must necessarily be kept de-
solate, uninhabited. and unproductive
wilds Ia Older TO preserve its natural
forest areas. Our people also resent
the contemptuous disregard Of their
rights and interests shown by those
Eastern conservation .cranksa who
would arrest the growth and develop
ment Of communities in and about
these national forests BY forbidding
the development OF al the resources
Of thee vast areas except timber and
mines. We believe that In our own
country, II we'll as in some countries
Of Europe, national forests could be
effectively preserved without pre-
venting the Lillage of such areas

tlon, adding vastly 20 the wealth Of

The Red Cross organizations working

The relief work is conducted on the
principle first of relieving immediate ne

these societies have been so heavily taxed
