OF CORPORATIONS
RECOMMENDS FOREST CONTROL

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2i.-Thc con
ccntratiOn into the hands of few
powerful interests of an enormous per-
centage Of the timber lands of the
United States has created a problem
SO grave for the nation, in the judg-
ment Of Luther Conant Jr., commits
sioner Of corporations, that he recon-
mended to President Taft that the eX-
isting national forests not only be re
tanned by the federal government, but
increased as far as practicable.
The note of warning was sounded by
the commissioner in forwarding to
the president the full text of part one
Of the bureau Of corporations inves-
tigatiOn of the lumber industry, made
by direction OF congress. A summary
Of this report. showing the extent Of
concentrated control of timber lands.
was sent to the president and published
nearly two years ago.
To increase government ownership
of forest lands the commissioner urges
that the forests of Alaska be included

advises further searching inquiry in
to land grants of the past with the
view Of instituting additional forfeit

Mr.. Conanl warns that attempts are
still being made to ''secure The trans

owners which in the past often proved

The part that Imperial valley will
take in this years affairs in Southern
California will give it a new place i'll
the reckoninSs of those who give
thought to such matters. In fact, il
will take our own people in large part
by surprise.
1t was estimated that last year the
valley sold an average Of million dol
lars worth of produce a month, and il
seems certain that it will not fall
behind the record, while it may make
considerable advance
1t is in this valley that the greatest
development work of the year i'll the
southwest is being carried out. that
of putting water on about l3S.00O
acres of new land. This. in fact. is an
accomplishment which runs beyond any
previous record anywhere in the South
west. and it will give such impetus to
the affairs of the valley that it will
beyond all question take by far the
leading place.
1t is impossible to say at this time
how much of this land will be made
productive this year. but there are
hopes that some Of it can be ready
for alfalfa seeding before the hot sea-
son. which implies a great increase in
the production of hay this year. Wheth-
cr this is done or not, it seems certain
that a considerable acreage will be
ready for corn planting. which implies
a considerable revenue from the sum
mer crop. while by fall it is expected
the entire acreage will be ready for
water 50 far as the bitches are con
cerned.
This work is furnishing employment
10 great many men and teams. and
thus il is helping to relieve the sur
plus Of labor in Southern California
1t will now be but short time when
the first product of the soil for the sea-
son will be ready for the market. this
being asparagus. and there will be an
increased acreage of this delicacy ready
for the market this year. while the
number Of carloads shipped east Will
increase considerably.
Following this will come the canta-
lOupe planting. and a little later the
harvest. 1t is too early as yet to
determine what the season Will be
like, but apparently all conditions are
favorable. The destruction of the cit
rus fruit crop has left biz deficit IL
the fruit supply Of the nation. and the
Press has already called attention 10
the fact that this opens up an extra
demand for cantaiOupeS.
Advices from tie east during The last
few days have been that warm weather
/. 4
and that the bloom was certain to be
caught by froSts. The chief cQmpeti-
tor Of valley cantalOupcs are Georgia
peaches. and should it happen that
there Is to be a shortage of this fruit
the demand for cantalOuues is apt to
run very heavy.
The outlook is therefore bright for

1t seems the weather is trying to
see how great variety can be com

the last week has seen in Chicago

an ordinary one. The mercury has
jumped up and down like jumping
