FOREST NOTES

During the fiscal year 1915. 7O5,S72
acres of National Forest timberands
were estimated and mapped intensively
and 1,093.006 extensively. In all. 20
S15,7sS acres have been mapped by in
tensive methods and 47,291,660 by ex-
tensive methods.
The work of classifying and opening
to homestead entry such lands in the
NATIONAL Forests as are chiefly valuable
for agriculture is progressing rapidly
Already over seventy million acres have
been covered by field examinations and
the final reports acted upon.
There were cut from the National
Forests in the fiscal year 1916 s04,920..
600 board feet of timber. OF this
amount 11s.4s3.0O0 board feet was GU,
under free use privilege by 42.055 in.
dividuals. In all, 10.s40 sales of timbe,
were made. of which 81 per cent were
under 500 in value. indicating the ex
tent to which the homesteader, rancher

Window Bcx Floral DispIays.

The idea of window box floral dis
plays In the windows of business
houses has probably caught on more
effectively in the smaller cities of the
country than in the larger centers, says
the Town Development Magazine.
However. as is sometimes the case, the
larger and largest Municipalities are
falling in line In this vcry commenda-
BILE effort along civic Identification ef-
forts. The past summer flowers
bloomed in many city business win
dows where hitherto the only blooms
were dust and dirt and CRIME. And
now Chicago hns undertaken the ex-
tension of the idea into the winter
months. Owners Of number of down.
town buildings have placed in their
windows boxes planted with lockwood
or some of the varieties Of, the pine
family. and the perpetual grecnness
thus achieved Is pleasing and inspiring
and has tendency. to make one wei
come the icy breezes as merely bracing
and in accord with spirit Of exhilara-
tfon and joyousness. Any effort Of this
nature intended to tlispel the bleakness
Of the ordinary city in winter time is
worthy Of support. but extreme- care
must be taken to see that the window
boxes are fastened securely.
