PASS BILLlON-D0LLAR MARK
Lumber Products OF Country Above
This Figure In 1914, in Spite of
Temporary Slump in Industry.

The value Of the annual output of
lumber products of the United States
is now well above the billion-dcllar
mark. This mark was passed in 1908,
when the output was valued at 81 $780,
$4,000, and while decline of 5.3 per
cent was shown in 1914, according to
census figures just given out by Uncle
Sam, the annual output was still
worth more than a billion dollars, the
exact value being placed at 81, ,022, 2,982,-
900. The figures for 1916 are ex-
pected to generally exceed those of
1914.
In spite Of a general slump in the
Industry in 1914, the amount paid out
n salaries during the year showed an
Increase of 1872 per cent over that of
1909, while the amount paid out In
wages showed decline of only 05
per cent.

this variety has been obtained by the
department, which very much resem-
bles the ordinary Dwarf Yellow milo.
White milo has given evidence of
greater drought resistance than even
the ordinary Dwarf milo and feterita.
Tests at chilIicothe.
These four varieties of sorghum
were grown in field tests at the Chill
licothe (Texas) field station for the
years, 1918, 1914, and 1915. Dwarf
hegari made the highest average yield
of both fodder and grain for this
period, with Dwarf feterita second in
grain yield, bVt loves in yield of fod-
der. At Amarillo, Tex, for the same
period Dwarf feterita gave the highest
grain yield, with Improved feterita
second in grain yield and only sur
passed by Blackhull kafr in the
amount of fodder produced.
At Hays, Kan, for the two year 1914
and 1915, White milo gave the highest
grain yield and fodder yield about
equal to that of Dwarf hegari. The
grain yield of White milo was about
ten bushels greater per acre than that
of the ordinary Dwarf milo.
1t was found possible at Chillicothe
| (Texas) to obtain two grain crops in
one year from Dwarf hegari and the
two feteritas. The Dwarf milo, how
ever, produced only one cutting.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgIiculture.)
After tests for several seasons, the
United States department of agricul-
ture is recommending four new varie-
ties Of sorghum for trial in the central
and southern Great Plains area. The
varieties have resulted from the plant
introduction and breeding work of the
department. They are described in
Bulletin 1888 recently issued by the
department.
Dwarf hegari is primarily a grain
sorghum, but like Blackhull kafir it is
valuable also as a forage plant. In
general appearance it is intermediate
between Blackhull kafir and feterita
It is almost, if not quite, as early in
maturity as feterita, and at the Chilli
cothe (Texas) field station, where ii
has been under test for hve years, II
has produced better seed crops than
any other variety of sorghum, and has
become quite popular with the farmers
in that locality. Many farmers prefer
it to Dwarf milo on account of its
higher forage value and the greater
ease of harvesting, due to the erect
heads.
Improved Feterita.
Improved feterita is a late inpor
tation of this variety of sorghum, hav
| ing been obtained from Africa in 1908
rwo years after the first successful
importation of feterita. 1t has beer
selected for uniformity and leafiness
and shows a higher yielding powe1
than the earlier Importation.
Dwarf feterita originated from |
plant which was only two and one-hal
feet high and two weeks earlier in ma
turity than the genCval crop of feterita
| 1t has not fully retained either it
dwarfness or its earliness, but ha
made consistently high yields of grail

of friendship, and to state that Ameri.

But how is America availing herself
of this position of vantage? While
China's import trade has increased
fourfold in the past % years, her i'm
ports from the United States have not
even doubled in that period.
In fact, our trade with China during
the past ten years has been about sta

goods and -four, we have gained in
kerosene and steel products.
The great mistake made by Ameri-
can manufacturers, exporters and
bankers today in regarding China as a
field for activity is their failure to con-

years hence rather than the country
today.
The reason American trade has
Jagged behind that of other nations il

cover of the ships guns.
Drew has the weapon to keep the
warships away from our shores, he be-
l1eves.
It is railroad mounted device.
Three heavy steel cars are needed for
its equipment. The gun is mounted
on one of these, but it's muzzle ex-
tends far over the end of the car. On
the two other cars may be carried am
munition and loading apparatus.
1t is Drew's idea to run the gun
train to the point at which protection
for the sh ore is needed. If the tracks
are not clase enough to the shore, the
engineering corps will be called on to
prepare a track on which to switch
the gun-carrying cars towards the
coast Once in place, the cars are
oolted together, to make a ponderous
steel mass as a foundation for the
gun, to give it stability.

ing that these reactionary or selfish
influences may advance against his
nomination but gives added weight to
the good judgment exercised by the
President in naming him for this high
position.
Mr.. Brandeis is a man of unques-
toned ability and uprightness of char
acter, who has served the American
people with singular disregard of per-
sonaI interest. To a large extent the
progress made in American political
and social ideals during the last thirty
years has been due to his persistent
and efficient efforts to bring about a
better understanding of the principles
of American democracy.

In spite of the fact that he has ap-

of issues that involved bitter fractional
