ONE WINTER ENOUGH

Will either the Allies or the
Germans want to continue the war
another winter? The Times thinks
not. One winter in the trenches is
enough for both sides to the pres
ent struggle. If the war doesn't
end this summer it is likely to do
so before winter begins, at the
farthest.
This is only guess, along with
other guesses that have been
made. But what will there be to be
gained by continuing the war ov-
er another winter? The losses in
the war have already been ire
mendous, and they are likely to be
much greater this sumner. This
month will witness a renewal of
the fighting in the west, as we'll as
the east, and it will be terrific.
This year will give sufficient
time to show who is likely to con-
quer in the end, and why not end
it then? Why continue a
bloody war that must result in
hloodshed that can, and should be
averted?
The English army will be great
ly augmented this spring, and
perhaps all the other armies on
both sides will be increased also,
and the slaughter will be awful.
1t is the opinion of the Times that
neither side expects the war to
last over another winter, however
they may talk for effect.
The armies themselves, as we'll
as the kings on both sides of the
struggle, will be tired of fighting
before another Christmas time
rolls around, and will find some
way to peace. Mark the predic-
ton.

Jacob H. Schiff, the New York
banker, says the war has made
the United States stronger, be-
cause it has given us an oppor-
tunity to purchase many of our
securities from the European
holders at a low price. Well, it
apparently hasn't done the belli-
gerents any good, and it is an i'll
wind that doesn't do somebody
good. But we would all like to see
it end, nevertheless.

Much of the level land in Idaho

is the very serious one of markets.
1t is beyond the province of my de-
partment to attempt to work up a
market, and before this can be done
we must have basket makers in the
state or takers of our material in the
switch form and we are at such a
great distance from the present CEN
tiers of basketry manufacture that
shipping our product is impossible.

Dear Madam:
Replying to your favor relative to-
the growing of basket willows in Ida
no, | wish to say that we have been
shipping cuttings of basket willows
to people of the state for the past
two years. The enclosed circular will
give, you some idea of how we are
prepared to cooperate with the .citi-
zens of Idaho, who desire to go into
this business. At the present time
we have probably $4,000 willow cut
tings which will be ready for ship
ment the coming spring at the prices
indicated therein.
We have never said much about
the growing of willows as an indus
try for the simple reason that We
have had no basket makers, at least
to my knowledge, in Idaho, but we
took up the work of experimenting
with the willows in 1910, and have
been growing them steadily ever
since, and we are satisfied that we
can grow a superior grade of switch
and also of unusual size. The average

tings which are distributed by the
forest service are also available only
in the spring. If you can secure cut
tings for planting in the fall l would
try it out by all means. Most likely
the willow that grows naturally in
Idaho is already in our salicetum
where We grow practically all the ma
tive species of willows in this country
for purposes of developing some ma
tive species that will be suitable for
the dieffrent sections of the country.
Our willow expert is now in the field.
1t may be advisable, therefore, if
you do send a specimen of the native
willow to send it later in the fall
when he will be back in Washington.
If you plant the cuttings in the
fall l would plant them not too late
so as to give them a chance to take
roots, otherwise the cuttings are apt
to rot in the ground and will prove
a failure.

lows grown under rainfall 1t would
be very difficult, moreover, to COM
pare irrigated and natural willows
except by detailed and extended in
vestigations from this viewpoint.
With regard to the diseases which
you may have to fight, it would, of
course, be impossible to say what
may happen. Any of the ills to
which the willows are subjected
might develop and in case they
should at any time become infected
with some disease, i wou.d be very
glad to examine the specimen and
have report made as to the nature
of the trouble.
The time for cutting willows may
be varied considerably without af-
fecting the current or the, succeeding
crop, but it should be before the
shoots are fully matured. Rods may
be cut from the holt as soon as the
leaves begin to fall and the cutting
may continue throughout the winter
but should be completed before new
growth beings in the spring If the
first years growth is cut after the
ground is frozen, there is less liabil-
ity of injury to the roots.

peared, but | will take pleasure in

if planted in the fall should not de-
velop just as we'll as when planted
lin the spring when the weather con-
ditions are favorable for it. The only
drawback that can see to planting
in the fall is that it much easier to
secure cuttings in the spring as the

'cut very early in the spring. Cut

LETTERS ABOUT THE
WILLOW BUSINESS

Investigation of the willow indus
try has been carried on by the editor
for some months, and the following
letters are published to show the
source of our information and to COM
municate to our readers the facts
as they came to us and convinced
US that while the willow industry is
not a fortune-maker, it is good
thing to help make incomes in several
ways n the community that takes
hold of it.
We wish our readers to note that
willows, like cattle, are of different
kinds, and if we are to raise willows
we must get the kind best suited to
the purpose and raise them under
certain conditions which haXe proven
to be the most profitable. Note that
the department Of agriculture offers
to supply some willow cuttings for
use this spring if we will but give
them a report upon their growth. We
think several farmers should respond
to this offer and plant a few this
spring.

Mrs. Byrd Trego,
Blackfoot, Idaho.
Dear Madam:
Your letter of January IA is re-
ceived.
The forest service has no means
of furnishing information in regard
to the comparative qualities of will
lows grown under rainfall and under
irrigation. think, however, that it
will be perfectly safe to assume that
the quality of irrigated willows will
be fully as good as that of the will
lows grown on non-irrigated land.
The main consideration in willows for
this purpose is to secure long straight
rods free from branches.
| shall be glad to furnish you with
500 cuttings each of several standard
varieties of basket willows for ex-
detrimental purposes in your region,
with the understanding that you re-
port on their adaptability. Should
you desire to use these willows |
should be glad to learn where and to
whom you wish them shipped.
