Forest Notes.

Tests at the forest products labora-
tory at Madison, Wisconsin, indicate
that by the use of four additional nails
in each end an increase of 800 per cent
in the strength of canned-food boxes is
secured.
approximately l0390 acres of denuded
lands within the National forests were
reforested in the fiscal year 1916 The
total number of trees planted was 6,l46,-
637, while $3.50 pounds of tree seed were
sown.
There were l33,442 more cattle and
horses, and 605,33S more sheep and
goats using the national forests in 1916
than in 1915. This increase was in spite
of large elimnations of grazing lands
from the forests II is accounted for
by improved methods of handling the
stock and by more intimate knowledge
of the forage on the ranges and their
carrying capacity.
The number of fires suppressed on ma
tional forest lands during the calendar
year 1915 was 1924, as against 7,0lS
in 1914, and an average annual number
