lions really more suitable for agri.
culture than for forest purposes,
would in time be entered by perma-
nent settlers under the Forest Home
stead act.
In 1911, an association OF Colorado
farmers, who irrigated their farms
with water from the North Platte
river, sent an urgent request to the
government to restrict timber cut
ting on the North Platte watershed,
so that, as far as possible, high
spring freshets could be prevented
and more water made available for
irrigation during the summer months
when the crops were most in need
They said that they relied upon the
national forest, within which the
watershed lay, to ensure a steady
flow of water for their crops.
The national forests, says the ar
tfcle, besides being the American
farmers most valuable source of
wood, which is the chief building ma
terial for rural purposes, are also his
most valuable source OF water, both
for irrigation and domestic use. In
the west, they afford him protected
grazing range for his stock; they
are the best insurance against flood
damage to his fields, his buildings,
his bridges, his roads. and the fertil-
ity OF his soil. The national forests
cover the higher portions of the
Rocky Mountain ranges, the Cas-
cades, the Pacific coast ranges, and
large part Of the forested coast
and islands of Alaska; some Of the
hilly regions In Montana and in the
Dakotas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.
and limited areas in Minnesota,
Michigan, Florida and Porto Rico.
In addition, land Is now being pur-
chased for national forests in the
White mountains of New England
and in the southern Appalachians.
In regions so widely scattered, agri-
cultural and forest conditions neces-
sarily differs to a great degree. bring
ing about corresponding differences
in the effect Of the national forests
on the agricultural interests of - the
various localities. Wherever agrfcul-
ture can be practiced, however, the
farmer is directly benefited by the
existence of national forests and by
their proper management.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-1n re-
gions where timbee is the most i'm
portant natural resource, permanent
forests managed with view. to sus
tanned timber production are abso
lutely essential to the continuance
of agriculture. according to an
article in the Year Book of the De
partment of Agriculture just pub
lished. The result of exploiting the
timber without thought of the fu
ture is the final disappearance OF
numbering operations and therefore
the withdrawal Of an important 10
cal market for farm products. In ad
dition, forest fires often ravage the
cut-over lands and thus preclude the
development of new local n1arke
by the resumption Of numbering; fol
after fire there is no chance for q
new crop of trees.
From a region where productive
timberland has been converted into
barren waste, the farmers usually
have to move out. There are parts
of the United States in which ,culti-
walton Of the soil has ended with the
cessation of local numbering, or at
least shortly afterward, because
with the withdrawal Of the woods
workers went the farmers market

HIGHEST WATER Of SEASON
FEARED IN RIVER VALLEY

This Is what some of the people who
are familiar with the peculiarities of
the Des Moines fear.
Today, water was Overlooking the
road between the, bridge and Alexan-
dria. and cutting through the farms
bordering this field. 1t was almost
impossible to get through with a
wagon because of the water in the
highway. Other land in the vicinity
was endangered, and the general
opinion seemed to be that a rapid rise
might be looked for.
The weather bureau reports show a
rise Of 81 feet at Ottumwa, This
fact coupled with the additional fact
that there was rain Of 2.52 inches re.
corded at Des Moines within the last
twenty-four hours leads those who are
familiar with the river to look for one
OF the highest stages reached this
year.
