GATHERING TREE SEEDS
An Infant Industry In Kentucky Devel-
oped by sta.e Nurseries.

The experience in growing trees at
the State nursery has shown very
clearly that in great many cases II
Is not possible to get tree seeds OF the
native species at the time and in the
condition desired. Kentucky is pecul-
lar In that up to very recently there
has been no agency or individual in
terested in the gathering OF tree seed
in it's borders The demand for the
tree seeds in the State nurseries at
Louisville and Frankfort has started
in a small way a new industry in the
gathering of tree seeds within the
State Last year a considerable por-
ton of the seed planted was obtained
from Kentucky. Several small boys
had become interested in this line OF
work anG gathered considerable
quantity of seed of certain varieties.
II is expected this fall that the bulk
OF the seed planted in the State nur-
series will be obtained within the
State from native varieties. The gath
ering of tree seed offers an attractive
field for limited number OF individ-
uaIs, particularly bright boys. who are
willing TO take the time and trouble
necessary to distinguish tree species.

With every passing year the inter-

villages, along public highways and

come more keen, for the reason that
our people as whole are gradually

value as factors for health and COM

Der OF seedlings will be available this
fall for distribution and sale it is i'm.
possible at this time to determine on
account of the earliness of the season.
The seed beds were very materially
increased within the year. One fea-
ture OF the nursery work at Louisville
was the planting of one-half bushel of
apple seed. II is eventually expected
that the Louisville nursery will be
able to furnish apple stock Of stand
ard variety to individuals around the
State and that the orcharding which is
becoming a feature of agricultural
work in Kentucky will in this way be
assisted. Also the nursery
is experimenting with varieties of wal.
nuts, chestnut, pecans and other nut
trees which produce commercial or

FOREST EXTENSION, STATE NURSERIES
Demand For Material at State Nurseries Shows That Ken
lucky People Are Beginning to Plant Trees
As Well As Cut Them Down

Frankfort. Ky-(Special-It Is pat
ent to those individuals who have
made study OF the matter that there
are certain areas OF Kentucky which
are more valuable for the production
OF forests than for agriculture or pas
turage. In fact. there are certain
areas which never will produce any
thing except timber crops. In order
to encourage the planting OF these
areas to timber, and also encourage
the planting OF timber or worn out
lands for regenerative purposes and
to prevent erosion. the State Board Of
Forestry. early In It's work, provided
for two nurseries-one at Louisville
(Which Is the larger and one at
Frankfort, which is hardly a year old
at the present time. The nursery at
Louisville was started early in the fall
OF 1913, and has been gradually in
creasing its capacity. Last fall the
first sale OF stock was made from the
Louisville nursery. amounting to one
thousand black locusts and one hun.
dred catalpa seedlings. That such
nursery supplies are wanted in the
State is shown by the fact that, II
available. at least ten thousand black
locusts could have been sold and an
indefinite number Of other species.
There is no doubt but what. as the ex.
istence and extent OF the nursery is
realized throughout the State, a large
and continuous demand will spring up
for seedlings and transplants which
the State can furnish. since these
seedlings will be sold at cost to indi-
viduals who desire them. The nur-
sery will pay for itself in time and the
cost of the stock will be reduced as
the capacity OF the nursery increases.
At the present time there are consid-
erably over six thousand transplants
in the beds at the nursery at Louis
Vile. The species which were planted

EXPERIMENTAL FOREST.
Permanent Exhibit at the State Fair

WHO FEEDS THE WORLD

In the current issue Of Farm and
fireside appears the following:
Wheat is not undisputed king,
nor cotton either. The egg crop
last year was worth about $780,
100000.
THE bulk OF the poultry is pro-
duced mainly by the work OF wo-
men and children. The supply from
the specialized poultry farms is
small compared TO that from the
farms where women care for the
fowls and children gather the eggs.

STRIKING GAINS IN
CHILD LABOR LAWS
OFF Year For Legislation, but
Children Not Neglected.
EDUCATION LAWS IN SOUTH.

A new compilation OF child labor
laws which will be issued shortly by
the National Child Labor Committee
contains the legislation enacted in 1915.
Although this last year was reac-
tionary one for social welfare legisla-
ton, the National Child Labor Com
mittee feels that there were some strik-
ing gains In child labor laws.
Two states which have hitherto defied
all efforts to raise their standards
Pennsylvania and Alabama-have
yielded to the pressure OF public opin-
ion. Alabama has fourteen year
limit for all gainfui occupations. to go
into effect In September. 1916, instead
Of her former twelve year limit for
factories only. A sixteen year limit
for dangerous occupations Is included
In the law. as well as twelve year
limit for boys and an eighteen year
limit for girls in street work.
The striking feature Of Pennsylva-
MAS new law is the continuation
school clause. which requires children
Of fourteen and fifteen who are regu-
larry employed to attend continuation
schools eight hours a week. Other i'm
portant features are the twenty-on
year limit for night messengers. phys
ical examination and the completion Of
the sixth grade before work permit
can he secured. and the regulation Of
street work.
Michigan had an unusual experience.
The age limit for common gainful oc-
equations was raised from fourteen to
fifteen AT THE REQUEST OF THE
EMPLOYERS. The bill was drafted
and the campaign directed by them.
In addition to raising the age limit, 1t
raises the grade which a child must
complete before a work permit can be
secured from the fourth to the sixth
grade.
Compulsory education laws We're
passed by three southern states. The
Florida and South Carolina laws are
local option only. but the Texas law
Is state wide.
California and Iowa strengthened
their laws by including provisions for
the regulation Of street work and the
night messenger service. In addition
to the street work clause Iowa passed
an eight hour day for children under
sixteen and strengthened her work
permit provisions. A written statement
from the employer. saying that he in.
tends TO employ the child. Is now
necessary before a child can secure q
work permit. A similar clause was
Incorporated this year in the Rhode
Island law and a street work pro
vision enacted establishing twelve
year limit for boys and a sixteen year
limit for girls engaged In selling news.
papers or merchandise.
Nevada created the Office OF labor
commissioner 10 enforce the child labor
law. and Wyoming enacted nine hour
day for children under fourteen in all
gainful occupations. In fact. there was
a gain in every state but one Of those
which passed laws this year affecting
children Tennessee weakened its law
by exempting canneries from prac
tically all provisions OF the law. But
an attempt 10 repeal the Arkansas law
was defeated. so that. on the whole,
the National Child Labor Committee
feels that the child labor legislation OF
1915 represents steady progress.
