PROTECT YOUR
. YOUNG POPLAR
Favorable Weather Conditions
Beget Complete Stands of
Young Poplar Seedlings
We SHOULD LOOK FOR LEAFS
PopIars Grow Quickly and Are the
Greatest Money-Makers of All
Native Trees.
(By W. R. Nation, Forestry Spe-
cialist.)

(By W. R. Nation, Forestry Spe-
cialist)
The season Of 1915 is proving to be
q remarkable year in the restocking OF
woodlands to young poplar, Full crops
of seed coincident with weather con-
ditions favorable for its termination
and the establishment of young seed
lings come only at intervals of se-eral
years apart.
In East Tennessee, and probably,
widely throughout the region, the 1914
poplar seed crop was heavy. A mild
winter followed by seasonable weather.
in the spring of 1915, has resulted in
one of the most complete stands Of
young poplar seedlings for many years.
Little poplars from one to four inches
high are plentiful in small openings
and under shade that is not too dense.
In one farm wood lot In Washington
county, where a few mature poplars
are standing in an oak-chestnut type,
there are now more one-year-old pop,
lars than all other kinds put together
up to the ages of eight to fifteen years.
A selected tract, one square rod IN
area, counted in July, contained nine
ty-flve Seeding poplars, four hickories,
four dogwoods, one sugar maple and
one sassafras. The whole woodlot
perhaps averaged as many as ten pop
lars per square rod, which means q
complete young stand. Seedlings and
saplings are to the woodlot exactly
what children and young people are
to town; and town with no inhabi-
tants except old people is doomed.
Since young poplars are succulent
and eagerly eaten by cattle, horses and
sheep it is Of the Utmost Importance
to protect them against destruction
by grazing. After the trees become
well established and reach heights Of
from s to 10 feet, moderate grazing
can be permitted without serious dam
age.

~ ONDTIONS in the House of Representatives are said

 Once its attention has been forciby called the mpor ance of acOn it is difficult to believe that either House ate will neglect to take the proper steps.

ALASKA DEVELOPMENT BOARD
 MEANS MUCH FOR TERRITORY

T HERE to be lot of msconception about Lane $ X proposed development board for Alaska. Some crit
 else it usuping the rights of local self government
 On the contrary the board proposed will have nothing to do with territorial subjects It simply that aging board will placed the head of the federal departments in Alaska. Federal affairs in Alaska will then be managed by board with headquarters in Alaska instead of by bureaus and departments at Washington
 There s in fact imperative need of such board in Al aska The various federal departments form seperate units They work entirely independent of each othcr although through the general bureaus at Washington.
 The present system is the though branch offices of corporation worked through distant managers with divided responsibilities instead of through central managing board All that Secretary Lane seeking is inject better methods, with view of efficiency and saving of money into the federal departments of Alaska.

With the decline Of the Gushing
field, interest in this the greatest oil
field is also waning. Activity Of old
has disappeared from the field and I'm
most parts II looks like an old settled
field. The daily production now is
right close to 100, 600 barrels per day
and some authorities place it much
lower
During the past week only ten wells
were completed in the field proper
and all OF these We're producers In
fact the average initial production Of
these wells was way up being S65
barrels each However, the total was
only $3.50 barrels, hardly enough to.
hold the total figures steady. Ten
cOmpletions is the smallest number
in one week in the past several months
but there are hardly more than one
hundred drilling wells in the entire
field now.
