1000, 600 TREES ARE
FOR THIS DISTRICT

f.. i. White. chief of planting in dis
trict No | of the forest service, has
returned from an inspection trip
through the western part of the dis
trict. Mr.. White visited the planting
jobs on the Cabinet. the Pend d'Oreille
and the ST. Joe forests. and also spent
some time mt the Savenac nurseries
near Hangar.
About 100000 plants will be set this
spring in the national forests in the
western part of the district, most OF
these being yellow and white pine
shrubs. Between 800 and 400 men
are at work planting the trees on tn"
four projects, and 1t is expected that
the work will be completed about the
first week in June.
The late spring caused a delay in
the planting work, and the amount
of snow in the forests Is causing the
planters considerable inconvenience
yet, according to Mr.. White, who says
that snow several feet deep is found
in some of the sections where tho
planters are working.

ANTHOLOGY OF MAGAZINE
VERSE FOR 1916. Edited by vii.
liam Stanley eraithwaite. New
York: Laurence J. CONNIE.

We are come the prophets say, upon
a time of poetical fertility. Not many
months ago verse used to be bought by
the yard for magazine filler to be
sawed up into convenient lengths to fill
unfortunate interstices in the prose
body of the publication. But the writer
of poetry is no longer dependent upon
typographical exigencies for his bread
and cheese. Steak with mushrooms
is his portion, and the caprices of the
| make up do not affect the supply.
You may watch street car and cafe
readers in vain to discover a popular
appetite for song. Poetry has not yet
reached the point where it may be read
frankly in public places. But some
where great numbers of people must be
learning the delights of verse: maya
zine editors do not buy for love of art.
And magazine editors are assuredlN
buying poetry. The Braithwaite an
thology for 1916 is evidence enough Of
that. 1t is evidence. too. Of the fact
that patronage is pleasantly empower
ing an art grown somewhat flabby for
lack OF SuStenance. For time new
food provoked strange antics from the
poets. Ezra Pounds and Carl San
burgs FASTENED TO the feastng, paying
