MAY CURTAIL PHONE LINES
Plans for Extension Of Service
Through National Forests Affect
ed by High Cost Of Wire.

The increased cost of telephone
wire may cause Uncle Sam to mate
rally curtail plans for telephone line
construction in the national forests
during the coming year. There are
now more than 10000 miles of teIe-
phone line in the national forests and
approximately 1900 miles of line was
planned for the coming season. When
bids were received recently for wire
for this work, it was found that prices
had advanced about 45 per cent. The
cost of other telephone equipment has
also increased. materially.
A certain amount of wire is re-
Quired also for upkeep, since the
lines are peculiarly subject to break
age from falling trees and similar
causes. Every spring the forest rang
erS have to get the lines in order in
preparation for the fire season and
although, to lessen the effects of ac-
cident, the wires are mostly run on
swinging insulatOrS suspended from
the trees, there are in the aggregate
large number of repairs to be made.
Notwithstanding the number of tel
cphone lines already built, large
areas are still without means of COM
municatlOn and consequently lacking
in proper equipment for FIRE protec-
tion. Not only are the telephones
used by. the forest officers, but they
are a great convenience to the public.
Very often, is is said. they enable isO-
lated settlements to have means of
communication which they could Sc
cure in no other way.

MISTLETOE MAY BE USEFUL
AT TIMES, NOT IN FOREST
Uncle Sans Experts Declare It Is
Pest and Is Very Harmful to
Trees in Many Regions.

Mistletoe may be, oil right in It's
place-that is when suspended over
the doorway or from the chandelier
but Uncle Sam has determined that in
the forest it is a pest. A. recent study,
conducted by, the United States de-
partment of agriculture, of the injury
done by mistletoU to coniferous trees
in the Northwest indicates that in
many regions this is a serious forest
problem. The western larch, the west
ern yellow pine, the lodgepole and
the Douglas fir suffer the most. Each
of these is attacked by a particular
species of mistletOe which gradually
reduces the leaf surface of the tree
and thus causes great reduction in
growth, both In height and in diame-
ter,
Excessive mistletoe infection of the
lower branches of the tree may cause
the upper portion of the crown to die,
giving rise to what is commonly called
Staghead or spiketop. Severe infec-
tion throughout the entire crown often
results in the death of the tree. Young
seedlings from three to six weeks old
may be killed within a comparatively
short time after they become infected.
Furthermore, trees weakened by mis-
tletOe infection are much more sus-
ceptible to attacks from fungi and
foreSt-tree insects.
