FOREST FIRES IN 1915

Ee~OREST fires burned over
IT not quite 100000 acres
of national forest land in
1915, according to official re-
ports just compiled. or less
than 2 acres per thousand. Out
of a total of 1924 fires, 346,
or 5ls per cent, did damage to
the amount of $100 or more.
The timber loss was 1885,
100000 board feet, valued at
$4,000. Although the sea-
son was regarded as one of un-
usual exposure, owing to de-
layed fall rains, the loss was
materially below the average
of the last five years. Over
'S7 per cent of this loss occur
red in the States of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho, while
more than 72 per cent was in
Oregon alone. Besides the
timber loss, fires destroyed re-
production, or young tree
growth, Of an estimated value
.of $160,O0O, and $3.407 worth
of forage. The loss per fire
in 1915 was $6O.41, which is
'$l4.O3 less than the five-year
average, while the cost of
fighting each fire was $2O.SS
less.
Lightning figures as the chief
cause of forest fires in 1915, as
lit does in the average year.
Twenty eight and a half per
cent of the fires were due to
this cause. Campers caused
Is per cent, which is 212 per
cent higher than the average.
Eleven per cent were caused
by brush burning. Nearly II
per cent were of incendiary or
igin. Railroads were respOn-
sible for nearly 8 per cent of
the fires in 1915, as against
.1412 per cent due to this cause
in the average year. The caus-
es of over Is per cent were un-
known. Lumbering operations
caused less than 3 per cent.

An inning or two later the Giant

BETTING ON PEACE

~ ARIATION in the rates
" at ''Lloyds" upon the
multifarious chances of
anything or everything is in its
way an indication of popular
judgment over in England.
These rates are regarded as
plain business proposition"
and in the present upturning
and overturning they perhaps
point to results as accurately
as any other.
For instance, there is the
matter of the termination of
the war. Insurance for the fu-
Iture of the income of the am
munition works has been based
upon a continuance of their
great profits through the de-
mands of the war. The rate
has been regulated by calcu-
lation of how long the war is
to last. When the fighting
shall stop, so will their sales
and profits in a measurable
degree.
Very recently the rate Of in
surance has been raised. That
is to say, it was based upon the
prospect of indefinite duration
of the war; whereas now the
betting is for a shorter period,
indicating a confidence in bus
mess and insurance quarters
that the war is not likely to last
beyond the present year.
The raising of the rate and
the shortening of the period
indicate a growing belief in
business and insurance quar-
ters that the year of destruc-
ton is to be shortened.-BOs-

INDICATING OUR POLICY

EFF Mexicans of any faction
whatsoever wished to do
something to vindicate our
governments policy in keeping
our soldiers in Mexico they
could have done nothing more
effective to this end than to
have made the raid on Glenn
Springs, Texas. That outrage
shows President Wilson was
right in refusing to discuss with
Obregon the subject Of with
drawing our forces at this time,
1t will cause the country to
back up the administration in
the line of action being pur-
sued.
Meanwhile it is a very safe
guess that this raid like the
raid on Columbus was planned
by people, not necessarily Mex
leans at all, who wish to see the
United States involved in war
with the southern country.

WOOD PULP SCARCE IN SPAIN
Supply of GaIician Pine Has Been Cut
Off by the War-May Use
Native Wood.

The shortage in the supply Of wood
pulp for paper manufacture in Spain,
and the high prices now demanded for
this product is causing some anxiety
among paper manufacturers and pub
fishers. Attention has been given to
the advisability of the governments
undertaking to stimulate the cultiva-
ton of the poplar tree, the wood Of
which is preferred for pulp in Spain.
Spain imports almost all the wood
pulp required for its paper industries
and exports to England much Of the
pine grown in Galicia, which is highly
resinous and not SO well suited for
paper manufacture as the less resinOus
pine of Sweden and Norway. Expert
ments, however, are to be made to
ascertain If, by extracting the resin,
native Spanish pine can be used, at
least as n temporary substitute. Most
of the local paper mills, 1t is stated,
cannot employ rag and jute wastes.

chemical pulps. Nearly all the waste

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO AID
Experimental Post Roads Of Different
Types Now Under Construction
In Many States.

-Four hundred and sixty-five miles of
experimental post roads of different
types, benef1ting % different coun-
ties. are now under construction
in IS states, which are cooperating
with the federal government. These
roads, which are being built under the
supervision Of the department of ag-
riculture, are authorized by the act
Of congress which appropriated $780,
600 for the post office department for
experiments to test out the value Of
improved rural carrier routes. The
federal government pays one-third and
the state or county benefited must de-
fray two-thirds Of the cost. AS rapid
ly as these roads are constructed the
department is endeavoring to interest
the local authorities In inaugurating
systematic maintenance to keep these
roads in condition. The Virginia au-
thorities agreed to maintain the new
roads built in that state, and it is be-
lieved that this local maintenance sys-
TEN will be extended to the post ronds
to be built in Maine, Tennessee, Texas
and Alabama.

CARE FOR HARNESS PROPERLY Y
Most Farmers Give This Part OF
Equipment Seant Attention Dur.
Ing the Busy Months.

While 1t is generally conceded to
be the best plan to care for the har-
ness properly throughout the entire
year, most farmers give this part of
their farm equipment scant attention
during the busy months. As long as
the harness holds together and will
give service, the work-harness is
thrown on to the horses backs day
after day, and no more thought is
given it. However, when the busy
days are over, there is no excuse for
not giving the harness little special
attention. 1t is good plan to wash
the dirt and grease from the straps
at least once a year, and then give
them a good oillng and working until
the leather is soft and pliable. Buckles
should be oiled SO they can be handled
easily.

Manurino Plant.

1t may not be advisable to grow

good crops of red clover and alfalfa.
These crops require rich, well-ferti-
lized soil; but sweet clover will grow
on the poor soils. 1t is portland
crop, and probably its greatest value
will be found in its use as green
manuring crop. 1t will enable the
farmer to fill his unproductive soils
with humus and bring the land to q
condition that will enable the crop to

The cost of copper sulphate is SO
high this season that many fruit grow
ers and gardeners cannot see any profit
in using 1t as a spray material, at the
same time realizing the danger Of not
spraying at all. 1t has been found that
solution of lime-sulphur solution,
diluted to to 40 Is fully as effective
as bordeaux mixture, and in many or
chards it has given even better results
than the bordeaux. Many apple grow
ers will use the summer spray Of lime

One user of milking machine says
that one of the best things about it

A supply of salt should be always
