EUROPEAN WILLOW SUPPLY
CUT OFF.

Washington, D. c., June 16.-Be-
cause the European supply of willow
rods has been largely cut off several
American manufacturers of willow
furniture and baskets have asked the
Department of Agriculture for the
addresses of persons in this country
who have taken up willow growing.
For some years the Department has
distributed willow cuttings of import
ed varieties with view to developing
the production of gh-grade willow
rods in the United States. The usual
imports of willow come chiefly from
England, Belgium, Holland, France,
and Germany, but these sources have
been practically closed for several
months.
Nearly two million cuttings have
been distributed free by the Forest
Service among State experiment sta
tions, forest schools, and individual
growers. The value of willow culture
as profitable means of utilizing over
flow lands not suitable for other crops
has been demonstrated, and the De-
partment of Agriculture maintains a
small willow holt on the Government
farm at Arlington, Va, for further
tests and for the continued produc-
tion of cuttings for free distribution.

LASSEN VOLCANO UNDER OBSER
WALTON.

Washington, D. c., June 16.-Mt.
I.assen, California, whose violent
eruption of May 10Th places it in the
first rank of volcanoes now danger
ously active, has become the subject
of an informal cooperative study by
the geological survey and the forest
service. At the request of the survey
a telegram has been sent from Wash
ipgton instructing the officers of the
Lassen national forest, in which the
peak stands, to continue observations
Of the volcanoes activity and keep a
record to be used as a basis for q
scientific investigation by J. S. Diller,
4 government geologist, who is ex-
pected at Lassen early in July.
The observations are being made
by forest rangers at the scene and
from a fire lookout tower on Brokeotf
Mountain, a few miles north OF the
crater, where the forest service last
year kept watch on the numerous
eruptions which occurred from May
to September.
1t is not known whether Il clou d.
burst started the last eruption by
precipitating rain down upon the
molten lava in the crater, or whether
melting of the snow on the peak,
with consequent flowing of water in
to the crater, caused the accumula-
ton of steam which blew a river of
mud out of the mountain. Mr.. Dill
er, who made a study of the volcano
last year, said that he inclined toward
the melted snow theory, adding that
the bright glow reported as appearing
on the clouds of smoke and steam
over the crater is a reflection of the
red-hot matter uncovered by the
eruption, indicating that the volcano
is in more or less dangerous mood.
The river Of mud which was shot
out of the north side of the crater
and down Hat creek has damaged
government and private property,
says a wire to the forest service from
San Francisco, destroying bridges
which were necessary to permit the
entrance of livestock that are grazed
on the forest range during the sum-
mcr. Some $1,000 cattle and 10000
sheep are grazed ON the Lassen forest
every year,
Mt. Lassen is regarded as excep-
tionalIy interesting from scientific
viewpoint, according to the geological
survey, inasmuch as it is the only
active volcano in the United States
proper, is very accessible to observ-
ers, and appears to be full of danger
Gus possibilities. There is much that
is not known about volcanoes, and
Lassen is expected by geologists to
furnish considerable addition to en-
listing information on the subject.
