In reply TO Senator Walker he said
that Municipal Judge Churchman
would make an excellent Juvenile
Court judge as he has had much OK
perionce which qualities him TO deal
wisely and justly with cases that

DO you think a Judge who is ac-

There are 160,000,000 acres of ma
tional forests, so that to provide the
supply of trees means a cutting from
them alone Of one fir tree from every
thirty acres. SO it looks as If the tim
Der resources of the country could
stand that strain a few years longer,
especially when one recalls that each
day of the year 100000 acres of wood
land are cleared to provide for the
material needs, fuel, lumber and wood

With good forestry. however, a de-
structive waste of the conifels from
eight to fifteen years old for the holi-
day harvest is avoidable.
Many groves are planted by nursery
Christmas market. and judicious cut
tings of these trees cause no lessening
of the general supply.
Nature plants many square miles of
mountain and rough lands, sometimes
closely as 100000 seedlings to the
acre, and a liberal thinning of these
is necessary. Nature destroys the
surplus where they are growing too
densely by smothering them, but man

are retarding the growth of the others,
and these 'thinnings' are often suit
able for the Christmas market.
II trees stand too far apart they
throw out spreading branches and be-
come of little value. The ideal condi-
tion for favorable growth is to have
the trees so far apart that they are not
stunted, and SO close that they prune
one another of branches and race for
the sunlight. This results in a tall,
straight trunk, free from knots and de-
fects. Pines and frs may grow quite
thickly without injuring one another
until they are of Christmas tree age,
when a careful thinning gives a goodly
number of marketable trees.
In Germany, where forestry Is prac-
ticed under the law, the forests are
thinned annually, and in the case of
evergreens the Trimmings are sold as
Christmas trees in quantities proper
tionately larger than the number used
in this country. How many will be cut
there this year no one can tell, for
many of the foresters, as well as the
men in other callings, are fighting in
France or Russia or Serbia.

willing parents Christmas morning to
