he laughed and whispered:
Its the simplest thing in the
world; decide every question quickly
and be right half the time. And get
somebody who can do the work.
That's all there is to executive ability.
II looked at him in astonishment.
He had grown quite serious.
There's another thing he added.
Don't spend too much time In your
office. A quarter Of an hour each day
is generally too long. unless there are
a whole lot of letters. OF course he

Blight Killed Chestnut
Can Be Used.

Washington. June 22.-The
inroads of the chestnut bark dis
ease, or chestnut blight, on the
chestnut trees of New England
aud the Middle Atlantic States
is resulting in the death OF a
great deal of chestnut timber.
Officials of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture recommend. to
prevent the spread of the disease
that shipments of chestnut tim
Der should include only material
from which the bark has been
removed and from which the dis
eased spots have been cut out.
In the region affected there is
a good market for all chestnut
except cordwooi. The demand
for poles and ties absorbs all that
are offered. and lumber finds
ready sale in local markets. Cord
wood, however, is often a drug
except within shipping distance
of tannidg extract plants, brass
foundries, lime kilns, brick Yards
and charcoal plants.
The question has arisen as to
whether the disease-killed tim
Der is less valuable than that
from green trees. Strength tests
made by the Forest Service indi-
cate that sound wood FROM chest
nut killed by the bark disease is
as strong as that from green
timber.
The bark disease kills the tree
by girdling the trunk, and does
not cause unsound or decayed
wood, which is the result of at
tack by fungi or insects. Until
two years after death of the tree
the wood generally remains
sound, though at the end of that
time insects have commenced
working in the sapwood. Three
years after death the sapwood is
honeycombed with insect bur-
rows; in four years it has decay
ed, and begins to dry and peel off
in the fifth year. After this the
heartwood checks badly. To
avoid loss, therefore, all timber
should be used within two years
after being killed.
At a recent meeting in Tren-
ton, N. J., foresters were present
from most of the States in which
the chestnut bark disease is prev
alent. Connecticut, New Jersey,
New York, PENNSYLVANIA, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, North
Carolina, and the Forest Service
and the Burea OF Plant Industry
were represented. Represen-
tatives of the States approved
the investigations undertaken by
the Forest Service, and recon-
mended that the individual States
give particular attention to the
development of local markets for
stands of blight killed chestnut.
Owners of such timber should
apply to the State foresters or
to the Forest Service for further
information upon the uses and
markets for chestnut.
