National Forest Receipts Increase.
(From the Forest Service, U. 8. Department Of

National Forest Receipts Increase.
tFrom the Forest Service, U. 8. Department Of
Agriculture.)
Receipts from the National Forests In
the fiscal year just closed exceeded those
for 1915, the banner previous year, by
more than 5000. 900, and totaled over
$S, 100000. The cost of operating the
forests, about $4,000, 900, was virtually
the same as in 1915.
The increase, according to the forestry
officials, came chiefly from more active
timber business and from the higher
fees charged for grazing, although prac-
tically every form of use of the forests
was greater than ever before and nearly
every revenue-producing activity con-
tributed to the gain. The only excep-
ton was that Of sales of turpenting priv
ileges, which fell off nearly one.h half.
Since these sales are made only on the
Florida Forest the receipts from this
source are relatively small.
The timber business realized for the
Government over 100000 and live
stock grazing over $1,50O,000. Permits
for water-power development brought in
over 100000 and other forms of land
occupancy, including leases of land for
summer homes, as much more. In this
item the gain was % per cent.
1t is pointed out by the Forest Service
that many forms of use of the forests
bring in no revenue. Settlers In and
near the forests are allowed much free
timber for domestic and farm use and
are also allowed free grasing up to ten
head of milch or work animals. As
public recreation grounds the forests are
open to all without charge, while their
almost inestimable value for water con-
servation is maintained solely at the
cost of the Government. Although their
administration and protection az public
utilities necessitste large expenditures
which yield no money returns, the mar
rowing gap between expenditures and
receipts holds out the prospect, those In
charge of the work feel, that the reve.
nues will In no great time exceed the
operating cost.
With the demand for timber markedly
stimulated by war conditions, the Gov.
eminent foresters anticipate q further
increase in the National Forest cut and
the receipts for timber during the cur
rent year. On the other hand, they
point out that an increase in business
will necessarily call for more work and
increased costs. Congress provided for
this by increasing the funds available
this year for National Forest administra.
ton and protection by about $50, 900.
Of the grazing receipts cattle furnished
approximately $500, 900 and sheep $780,
900. On account of the feed shortage
faced by the live stock industry through.
out great part Of the west last spring,
and because of the needs OF the nation
for meat, wool and hide production, the
stock were admitted early and up to the
full limit of the carrying capacity of the
ranges. Az result of regulated graz
ing the capacity of the ranges has been
growing greater for some years, the For
est Service officials state, and the In.
crease in grszing receipts is In part due
to the fact that the herds on the forests
this summer are larger than In any pre-.
vi0us season.

The Red Cross Seal Sale.

Plans have been completed by the
American Red Cross and The National
Association for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis for the opening of the
1917 Red Cross Christmas Seal Sale about
November 20 and continuing up to jan
uary /. The campaign will seek to raise
at least 5000, 900 for the anti.tuber-
culosis movement in the United States,
or more than double the returns In any
previous year. The war has made 1t
imperative that every possible facility
for the care of consumptives be enlarged.
In announcing the plans for an in
creased campaign, The National Associa-
ton and the American Red Cross call
attention to the fact that the examination
Of 10, 000, 900 men subject to the draft,
besides thousands OF others who are
enlistipg voluntarily, has already dis
closed and will continue to disclose
thousands Of new cases Of tuberculosis,
which have hitherto been unexpected.
To provide facilities for the care of these
cases and to educate the general public
and the c0nsumptives themselves relative
to the danger Of the spread of tuber.
culosis, the American Red Cross and
The National Association call upon the
people of the United States for Increased
contributions. I'VE can avoid the fatal
mistake of France and some of our other
Allies only by excluding tuberculosis
from the Army and by providing ade-
quate care for every case of this disease
developing In this country" says DR..
Charles j. Hatfield, Executive Secretary
Of the National Association.
The money raised from the sale of Red
Cross Seals will be distributed through
out the United States and most of it will
remain In the communities where the
Seals are sold. In every state, however,
It 10 planned to establish q special war
fund, TO provide immediate facilities for
discharged recruits and soldiers. These
funds will be administered through the
state and local anti tuberculosis sssocla-
tions In cooperation with the Military
Department OF The National Association
for the Study and Prevention Of Tuber-
culosis.
Four hundred million seals have o..
ready been printed and 100, DOC, 900 more
are being prepared. The seals this year
are OF new and particularly attractive
design, the center of which, instead OF
the familiar Santa Claus face, ID . Christ
mas tree snow laden. These little stick
ers are now being distributed in every
section Of the United States and it, terri.
tories from the Philippine Islands 10 the
Canal Zone.
The local machinery for handling the
sale this year 10 more complete than ever
before. There are now we'll organized
state associations In every state In the
Union. There arc altogether, including
state and local organizations, 1900 anti
tuberculosis agencies In the country, oil

etc., and "While Clinton Durgin of South
