That Need Attention.
 There are about a dozen trees grow ing in the United States which are en- hrely or partly for medicines. On ac- count of the enormous quantities re- luired 1t is fureSone conclusion that in the not far distant future trees will have to be planted to meet the demand that is fast growing. or else we shall suffer from the lack of necessary drugs.
 The presence of hydrocyanic acid in the thin inner bark of the wild cherry and its tonic and sedative properties make the tree valuable. It Is gathered in the fall, and fresh supply is re quired each year, as it loses strength If kept too long.
 Witch hazel plays a prominent part in the medicine chest of every house. hold today and represents in its manu- tacture many thousands of dollars in invested capital. The Indian knew Of It's healing properties long before the white man came.
 The New England farmers find the witch hazel crop one of much value and a regular source of Income. The brush Is taken to the local distillery, where the essential properties are eH- tracted. While 1t is usually classified as shrub, 1t has been known to grow to the height of twenty-five feet. It also has the peculiarity of blooming very late in the fall.
 The bark of the slippery elm Is high ly prized for the relief of colds and to allay infammationS. ThiS tree grows to the height of from forty to seventy feet, with trunk two and cne-half feet thick. The outer bark is shaved off and the inner one removed and dried under pressure In order to keep 1t fat. The dried bark Is remarkable for its small proportion of weight to bulk.
 The white pine, which plays such an important part in building industries, is conspicuous among trees possessing medicinal properties.

 If any layman is of the opinion that this vast country has been fully explored and charted by this survey. and that therefore its con rinuance Is needless, he should be- come informed as to the facts, first as to the labor that lies ahead for the agents of the survey, and se- cond as to the service they have been rendering lately 10 the govern laent in it's enforcement of laws conserving water-power. forest lands Lud leases of lands producing min eral wealth. Most fortunate for the government in its fight to protect popular interests and to make up rts cases so that hostile litigation could not thwart execution of law. has been the fact that it could fall back on the survey experts for evil dence and advice in all cases where issues of fact as to soils, mineral deposits and such things were in dispute.
