Blow at Dishonest Advertising

Thomas F. Logan in Leslies
 The District of Columbia has scored it's first victory against fake adver tisers Under the terms of the John son fraudulent advertising law a fine of not more than $500, accompanied by a period of imprisonment, may be inn posed on conviction of violating it's provisions. At the instance of the American Fair Trade league. Wash ington firm underwent a three days trial, from which the secretary urer of the offending firm, after the jury had in a five-minute session re- turned verdict of guilty, emerged with a $500 fine and jail sentence of 60 days, which latter, however, was suspended. The testimony was based on purchases of articles represented in placards as being other than they really were. A necktie sold for 29 cents was reputed to be from stock worth 50 to 65 cents each, while a Palm Beach suit at S4.S5 came out of lot placarded as worth s10 and SIP A shirt marked down from $250 was afterward duplicated at well known haberdashery in Washington for 79 cents

makes the work a good investment.
The presence of dead or dying trees
in the stand, a very dense interlocked
crown cover. stems very slender in
proportion to their height, or appar-
ent s%tagnation in the height growth,
all indicate that a thinning is needed.
This usually Ia done when the stand
is from Is to 20 years old. The oper-
alton is similar in principal to thin
ming any other farm crop where 1t Is
desired to obtain a few good plants
rather than many of poor quality. The
owner should use the ak with care,

A cash return for the wood grown
on the farm woodlot is Just as posi-.
BILE as a profit on other farm crops.
Farmers often lose sight of this fact,
mainly because timber requires only a
small amount Of labor but a long
period Of years to bring II to a mar
ketable condition. Often, therefore,
the owner is satisfied with an annual
supply OF dead firewood, and the wood
lot becomes a harboring place for in
sect pests and a meager pasturage for
roaming live stock. Yet improvement
Of the woodlot depends upon just a
few simple principles which II farm
er may learn and practice. These are
contained n a new farmers bulletin,
No. III, published by the United
States department Of agriculture.
Improvement Of the woodlot begins
with the cutting out OF all dead and
diseased timber. Then the mature
merchantable trees should be re-
moved, like any other farm crop, when
conditions favor a sale. New trees
should be planted in the open spaces
to grow up and I'LL in the forest can
opy and encourage the growth of tall.
straight timber.
Woodlots may be divided into two
classes. each determined by the char
acter Of the stand. On one type. the
trees are a second growth of approx
mately the same age and II is found
that undesirable species are crowd

trees should be taken off in two or
three successive cuttings at intervals
Of several years. each cutting taking
from One-third to one.half the trees.
These cuttings allow the remaining
trees to receive more sunlight and
thus encourage them to produce more
seed. Neither OF the first two cuttings
should be so heavy as to encourage
the growth of weeds or grass on the

cases to remove the old trees at

tice OF either n separately. Cattle,

Hogs eat the seed and thus prevent
reproduction from starting, or root
young seedlings out OF the ground.
The existing growth is damaged
through the trampling or wounding of
the roots and the compacting OF tho
soil so that 1t is impervious to water.
Horses should be kept out OF the
woodlot entirely because they often
peel the bark from trees and eat the
young shoots. When young growth
is not desired, a few head OF cattle
are permissible. provided, however.
that the ground is not soft when they
are turned in. Hogs may be used to
aid reproduction before the time for
the seed to fall. They will root up
the ground and thus put II in good
condition for receiving the seed.
Goats and sheep should be allowed in
