The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-12-19

Middle Ages San Marine gave asylum tc the heads of great families who were engaged in quarrels and even became the arbiter of these misunderstanding At one time the inhabitants saw the sepulcher of Marinus violated and tho mortal remains of the hermit carried to Pavia! This city was retaken by Pepin, whose first care was to restore the remains of the saint to the people of Mount Titanus. Up to the ninth century the people of San Marine appear to have held amicable rela- tions with the Popes, but a clash came when a bishop named Deltone demand ed the monastery of San Marine and revenues as his right. After series of Church councils San Marine won out even with the Pope and the State and Church of the Republic became separate bodies.
 Defenses Built In 10th Century.
 During the tenth century the peo- pie made plans for defense and walls were built about the towns and forts were erected on the summit. The country grew in population and many persons moved to what is now known as The Market" at the foot of the mountain. New laws were made and for time the people enjoyed liberty

in it's fullest sense, but war and trou- bles with the Church at Rome menaced them from time to time, yet they always managed to keep their country intact. Even Napoleon re- spected their independence when he said Tn faith, we must preserve San Marine as sample of a Republic .' Thus freak of the conqueror saved the little country.
 The strict neutrality observed by San Marine during the successive changes of the map of Europe until 1915 went far toward securing for 1t the benefits of peace and liberty. In 1917 a brief of Pope Plus VII. con- firmed anew the independence of the Republic. In 1S49 demand was made by Austria that Garibaldi be delivered to them after he had taken refuge at San Marine. The request was refused but it was agreed that Garibaldi be allowed to take refuge in America and that after his companions had been disarmed that they be allowed to go their ways unmolested = and San Marine was again left undisturbed.
 In 1859 the descendants of Marinus decreed the abolition of capital punish ment.

ing forward a very peculiar variety of tree planting, one that was planned by the military branches of the govern ment and executed by the Forest Serv- ice. The military experts decided that it would be to the advantage of the coast defenses of the nation if they were screened from the rear by forests. Under these conditions, if. they were attacked from the land side, the artil- lery of the enemy would be unable to see them, to get the range and do the damage that 1t might if the view was open. So the forest experts have been setting out these fringes of trees with a new purpose in mind--that of national defense.
 One of the great advantages in for ests that are artiicially induced is the fact that the trees that are to go to make them up may be carefully se- lected and that they may therefore be composed of the very best lumber pro- ducing varieties. There is vast diff ference between the value of the yield of scrub growth of trees, a growth of average value, and a growth of specially selected kinds
 There is, for instance, the Douglas fir, a magnificent monarch of the

 The mountain at that time was the property of a wealthy Roman matron named Felecissima. Her two sons were serving sin the Guard of the Elm peror. and when they learned that land belonging to their mother was being occupied by teacher of the new religion they determined to drive the intruder away. So they made a nasty trip to the summit of the moun- tain. travelling under the burning sun, They came upon the man they sought clothed in the garb of poor workman and preaching the simple truths of the Christian faith. His calm, peaceful manner checked the harsh words they were about to utter and they gazed on the pious man in silence. The freezing air of the high altitude paralyzed their limbs which had been exposed all day to the burning sun and they limped back to the valley terror stricken. Their mother shared their superstitious fears and became so alarmed at their condition that she begged the hermit of Mount Titanus to come to her house and restore the young men to health. When the good Marinus appeared he found his pa tients offering sacrifices to Apollo the god of health. Filled with indignation he upset the altar, broke the statue into bits and invoked the ptercession

 Weird Place.
 The whole country is a weird place with it's high walls and dark houses. it's barracks, the edifice of the Sovereign Council and it's Cathedral. The latter is a miniature copy of the Church of the Madeleine at Paris and has high altar of precious marble and six small CT altars The sanctuary is guarded by statues of the four cardinal virtues and a figure of Saint Marine as a deacon is on a pedestal of verde antique in the choir. Relics of the patron saint are all about. The edifice of the Sovereign Council is rather pretty with its highly colored frescoes and pictures, especially the one of Saint Marinus in the centre. Portraits of Victor Emmanuel. the Empress Eugenia and Napoleon also embellish the walls The Post and Telegraph offices are at one end of the building, the latter having been opened to the world in 1880. A vast reservoir sug- gestive of the Princes Well at Monaco supplies the land with water.
 The resources of the country are limited to quarrying stone, raising cat tie, cultivating grain and the large chestnuts such as are used in the stuffing of turkeys at Christmas, the making of oil, cheese and wine, the latter being exceptionally fine.

San Marine has ex- tradition treaties with several .coun- tries, including the United States, and this was brought about only after long discussion of the Council, several of whom declared that they would re- fuse their signatures to the document in which they had to enter into nego- tiations with a country which .pre- served too many of the institutions of toms. among them the death penalty for murder.

ignated the Nebraska National Forest rather ambitious name for region on which there were absolutely no trees.
 The foresters had little idea what trees were most likely to grow sue cessfully on these sand dunes. There was no growth there that had proven itself. They went into the nearest forests, those on the eastern slope of the Rockies, those of the Black Hills, those of Michigan. From these they dug up well rooted young plants and put them out in the sand dune coun- try. Nearly all of them died. There were two varieties that survived in considerable numbers. These were the jack pine and the yellow pine. Of these proven varieties seed were sown in a nursery that was established for the purpose in the sand hills. It was four or five years before stock could be thus developed and ambitious plant ing begun. Eventually the little trees were ready for putting out in quanti- ties and now some thousands of acres are being added to the sand dune for ests every year.

of the true God on behalf of the two men was restored and they became converts to Christianity and with their mother and fifty of their relatives and servants received baptism. Marinus then returned to his mountain retreat to make prayers of thankfulness for the conversions. The lady Felicessima sent again for Marinus and made him d gift of the mountain and also had a cross set up on the summit bearing the word "LIBERTAS."
 The hatred of the new religion con tinued but fortunately Constantine gave the Christians his protection and Marinus continued his work. After a time he divided the land among his followers and Christian families were scattered over the mountain.
 Peace At Any Price.
 Among the things taught by Marinus was the sinfulneSs of war-indeed, his teachings were of the peace at any price type, and he died praying that the little settlement might never seek enlargement of their territory by the use of the sword. Such was the origin of this tiny country which through centuries has practically lived up to the principles of it's founder, for all the land added to it since his death was acquired by purchase, Many times it has narrowly escaped being swallowed up by bigger country, but somehow it has always been saved and in the end defied it's attempted con- ouerOr At one time. in 709. if de- clared war against Charlemagne, but the great man died without knowing anything about the declaration.

upon their missions. They waited a year, two years. There were few trees as a result of their work.
 It was thought that the failure of the broadcasting method was due to the failure of the seed to actually get into the earth. The second stage of the experiment saw the foresters go- ing forth with corn planters and sink ing the seed deep into the ground A further development of the same plan was that of the seed-spot method in which the men dug up with grubbing hoes a spot every few feet and placed seed in it. These methods usually re- suited in plants developing but drouth and cold and rodents. par ticularly the latter, prevented the baby trees from living. This second method was also pronounced a failure except in certain localities.
 In the meantime the foresters had been experimenting with tree seed sown in nurseries. In rich, cultivated beds these seeds had sprung up as thick as wheat in a productive field In these beds they had been allowed to grow for year, at the end of which lllIlG lIey Hdu DeeH TepldnCeQ, being set out in the open at distances of some six inches apart. Here they grew until they were two or three years old and lusty plants that might resist rodents and other hardships of the mountain sides. When the proper season came the tree planters took them on their backs. struck out for the region to be planted and carefully set them out. So handled the young trees could be depended upon to grow ideal ly and create a new forest of the flu ture that would be all that could be desired This method is now quite generally followed.
 Protect The Water Sheds.
 Since it has funds for the planting of but 16,000 acres a year the Forest Service has endeavored to so choose those areas that they would do the most good. There are watersheds for cities, for instance. There trees may be as valuable as elsewhere for timber
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-12-19

purposes and may serve the greatest need in the protection of useful wa tershed. The program has therefore embraced the plan for planting as much city watershed as possible. Los Angeles, Portland, Salt Lake, Colorado Springs and many other important cities have watersheds in the national domain and these have been given spe- cial attention.
 Then there was crying need for tim Der in the Black Hills where fire had denuded great areas. Much replant- ing is being done there. In Michigan there are extensive stretches that were once producers of timber among the best of the nation but which has been cut over and burnt over until there is only scrub growth upon it. It is de- sirable that these lands be seeded down into their native Norway pine.
 Barren Sand Dunes.
 But probably the most interesting task of the forest nurseries is that which has as its object the growth of productive forests in the sand hills of Nebraska and Kansas where none ever grew before. One-fourth of the State of Nebraska is a waste of sand dunes and certain areas in Kansas are prac- tically useless because of their wind swept sand wastes. These regions are sllirted for hundreds of miles on the east by rolling prairies of wheat lands that are entirely without timber. To the west of them the great plains roll away to the Rockies, other hundreds of treeless miles. There is great need of timber and there are great areas of otherwise useless lands.
 Might not, asked the forest experts decade ago, these sand hills be con verted into forests? Might not a growth of trees serve the purpose of holding the tops on these shifting hills. of stabilizing them, of converting them into usefulness of providing timber where it was greatly needed?
 It was determined that the experi- ment should be tried. An area of more than 100000 acres of sand dunes was set aside for the purpose. It was des-

woods which rears itself to a height of 250 feet and is twelve feet through at its base. It is one of the very best timber producing trees in all the world. Its native home is the Ameri- can Rockies and 1t will grow prolifcal- ly throughout almost any of that great area. There is plenty of Douglas fir forest in the west today that is ready for the axe and worth $40o an acre. advisable to broadcast and much of the forest that is being planted by hand is of the Douglas fir.
 The Engelmann spruce is tree that is almost as valuable and as hand some. It lends itself particularly to high attitudes and is being put out on many city watershed and high noun tain side. The lodgepole pine of the Indians is a good timber variety as is the yellow pine of lower attitudes and particular hardihood. The new forests will contain only these choice varie- ties.
 Seed Gathering.
 An interesting phase of the tree planting business is the procuring of seed. Most of the desirable varieties are of the pine family and cone bear CTS. The pine cone is the container of the seed of that tree. Deep down in the heart of the cone at the base of it's spines lie the tiny seeds from which great trees may grow. The seeds of the Engelmann spruce are so small that ITO, 900 are needed to make pound Of the Douglas fir 5000 are required.
 In the autumn, when the cones be- gin to drop, the people of the forest regions are asked by the government to go into the woods and gather them. They are paid as much as fifty cents a busheL It is a picnic season and men, women and children go into the wilds and return heavily laden with pine cones. These are purchased by the forester and dried out. Then they are placed in shakers constructed on the. principle of the barrel churn and tumbled about most vigorously. Thus are the tiny seed jared out. This shaker is tree seed threshing ma chine. ft.
