LANDS BOUGHT
BYGOVERN|NEN7i
Six Thousand Acres in Tucker
and Randolph Counties Are
Approved for Purchase.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July ID
Lands just approved by the national
forest reservation commission for pur-
chase by the government include 6,0S3
acres In West Virginia, of which one
tract comprising 5000 acres is situated
In Tucker and Randolph counties in
the Monongahela purchase area. The
remaining eighty-three acres are on
the Potomac watershed in Hardy
county In the Potomac purchase area,
Total Now $4,000.
These lands are to be acquired in
accordance with the general policy
under which national forests Of good
size are being built up in the eastern
mountains, both north and south.
through successive purchases. Tracts
are bought within certain designated
areas, OF which West Virginia has
three. The lands Just approved by
the commission bring the acreage OF
the Monongahela purchase area up to
42.SS7 acres and the. acreage Of that
part OF the Potomac area living In
West Virginia to &c. 405 acres while the
total acreage in the state approved for
purchase amounts to los ,4S0 acres.
Most of the lands approved forrpur-
chase today are cutover but the Tuck
er county tract originally bore a heavy
stand Of such hardwoods as poplar,
Eastwood, cherry and oak, and It Is
the expectation that new stand OF
valuable young trees will cover the
land within a few years.
The lands approved for acquisition
by the government for national forest
purposes In the east since the pur-
chase policy was inauglrated In 1910
are now l.1o4,oo0 acres, having a pur-
chase price of s5,5oO.OoO. About So
100000 Of the original appropriation
remains available for further pur-
chases in the fiscal year 1918. The
lands favorably acted on to date in
clude $4,000 acres in the White noun
,tains Of New Hampshire while s71 900
acres are in various parts Of the
southern Appalachjans from Virginia
to Georgia. Nearly 100000 acres were
approved for purchase during the last
year, at an average price of s4.s6 per

GOOD
ROADS
PLEA FOR WIDER RoADWAYs
Fourteen-Foot Road viii outIast Three
Nine-Foot Roads and 10 Much
Better In Every Way.

Have not our counties and townships
been wasting good bit Of our money
by building 9-foot roadbeds on "a by
20 foot wide road grades? A 24-foot
wide grade is plenty wide enough for
a 14-foot roadbed. Then why spoil
a good grade by putting on a 9-foot
road when It costs less than one-third
more to make good job of it? Four
teen feet is sufficient width for two
tracks; that would mean just one
half of the wear on the road. Then
VIC can drive so as to have a wheel on
each side of the center and that makes
one more track and viii be equal to
a 9-foot road. So you see we have
three times the wearing surface on a
l4-foot roadbed that we do on 9-foot
Then we have a chance to pass other
rigs without one or both going into
the ditch. Now this is claiming quite
a lot for one-third more expense, but |
think 14-foot road will outlast three
9-foot roads, has a handler surface and
is better in every way, writes John D.
De Cou in Michigan Farmer. If you
come up behind a rig you have a
chance to get by. II you are driving
an auto you do not have to go outside
Of the hard roadbed and take chances
on skidding into the ditch.
A 9-foot roadbed has but one track.
Where the wheels run 1t gets packed
perfectly solid and heavy load will
crush all small stones into dust, and
the first auto that comes along sucks
it up on the front side of the wheels
and then blows IL clear of the track
when they let go. This doesn't seem
much, but when from one to fifty or
more go over the same track II soon
counts. Meanwhile, the horses travel
ing In the center with iron-shod hoofs
have kept that dug loose and it gradu-
ally works out, leaving the road low
in the center where it should be high.
Then when heavy rains come the
ridges where the wheel tracks come
hold it in and it washes down the CEN
ter to the lowest level, where 1t runs
of at the sides, cutting bitches and
causing bad chuck hole.
This road is hard to keep in repair
II you rse road grader or drag to

Paramount of all the insects caus-
ing loss to the horticulturists and
nurserymen Is small scale insect no
larger. when mature, than the head OF
a common pin. This insect is the San
Jose scale pronounced San Ho-zay),
Aspidiotus perniciosus. No insect
pest has received more attention and
has had more written concerning 1t.
Nearly every experiment station in
the land has published one or more
bulletins as to It's life history and
ravages, and remedies for its control.
Newspapers, journals and maya
zines have issued volumes calling the
attention Of fruit growers to the eff
fects of this scale pest and encour-
aging legislation for its control.
Those who have needed this admoni-
ton Of the entomologists and fol-
lowed their recommendations have
satisfied themselves that in spite of
the enormous Damage done by this
scale, there are methods which, II
properly pursued. will reduce injury
to the minimum. The careless, I'M
needing grower who has scale-infested
stock and has done nothing by way of
controlling the pest suffers heavy
losses and eventually is compelled to
go out OF business (be he horticul-
turist or nurseryman) or is advised
to start anew.
Perhaps the worst feature Of an at
tack of San Jose scale is the difficulty
OF recognizing the insect, due to its
size and color; It is about lie of an
inch in diameter when mature, and
in color 1t resembles the bark OF tree
or plant infested. II there is q very
bad infestation an ashygr1y appear
