On returning to his late home, 2937

being greeted by his beloved wife and
daughters, as was customary, Mr.
Slade complained of being i'll and went
to bed where he suffered excruciating
pains-the result being quick develo-

attest to his possession of such quail

Agricultural Problem Solved.

A close study of soils and crops
shows that the relation is purely nat
ural. in that crops showing a prefer
ence for certain soil is due entirely
to the demands of these crops for a
definite amount of water and warmth.
Plant food is a secondary considera-
ton, and as this can easily be supplied
by man the problem is solved.

WOOD PULP PRODUCTION
IN UNITED STATES IN YEAR
Where Raw Material for White Paper
Comes From and How II In
Obtained.

Tho manufacturers Record makee a
comprehensive summary Of the reports
complied by the United States Forest
Service. in cooperation with the News
Print Manufacturers Association, from
which the following facts are OBJ
tanned:
In tho year 1916 $50 pulp mills in
tho United States converted 5,22s.55s
cords Of wood into 3.o71,3lo tons OF
pulp. This was an increase OF II per
cent. or $4,000 cords. over the quantity
O. wood used in 1914. and OF 37S.00D
tons. or ~ por cent, in the quantity
OF pulp produced two years earlier.
As has always been the case. eprucc
continues to be the far most important
pulp wood. and in 1916 nearly GO per
cent Of the total quantity OF wood
used for pulp was spruce. of which APP
proHimatcly 100000 cords were OF
domestic origin and 100000 cords i'm
ported from Canada. The next most
important pulp wood Is hcmlock. and
10000 cords OF this wood was con-
rertcd into pulp in 1916. which was an
increase OF nearly 100000 cords over
1909.
The other more important woods
used in the production OF pulp were
aspen and balsam fir. each TO the
amount OF some 100000 cords while
there were smaller quantities OF yell
10" ana Jack pine, white FIR. tamaraCk
ana several hardwoOdS An interest
ing feature of tho report is the state
ment that 100000 cords OF slab wood
and other sawmiIl waste were con-
vcrtcd into pulp.
The seat OF tho wood pulp industry
was originally in the Northeast. and
Maine Is Still the most important pulp
producing state, although New York
is now n clos" competitor. Approxi-
Inately 100000 cords of wood were
converted into pulp in Maine in 1915.
and almost 100000 cords in New
York. Wisconsin ranked third. with
$4,000 cords. followed BY New Hamp-
SHIRE with $4,000 cords and Pennsyl-
Nania with $4,000 cords

cured by suggestion. Our incurably

Russian jews there arc seven Boil

son the whole jewish people. And.
therefore,"
And, therefore. every honest and
sound minded Russian man begins
anew to feel to,7ncntins shame for
holy Russia for that native stupidity
which liz our country's present ter
rible hour seeks the enemy outside
itself instead Of seeking him in the
abyss Of it's own ignorance.
That is my answer to numerous Per
sons in Russia and abroad who have
written and asked my opinion about
what they call The Jewish Question"
The only proper comment on The
Jewish question" is to declare that
no question" exists.
