SLASH PINE VALUABLE.
Growth Rapid and Yield of Turpentine
Large.

A comparatively ittle-known but val
liable tree most often called slash pine
is fast replacing longleaf pine in many
sections of the south, says the forest
service In some respects this tree is
considered q better tree than iongleaf.
It's growth, according to the foresters,
is more rapid and its yield of turpentine
larger, while the wood is said to be the
heaviest, hardest and strongest confer
GUS wood grown in the country.
The term, slash pine" it is explained
is popularity applied to several southern
pines, notably the loblolly, with which
the true slash pine is often confused
because OF its close resemblance. The
slash pine is also sometimes called "Cu-
ban," swamp" or 'she" pine.
The chief causes for the rapid spread
OF the tree are its frequent and abundant
seed production, very rapid growth, abili
ty to endure the shade of other trees,
and its capacity to adapt itself to
wide range of environment. The fact
that it can withstand the combination of
forest fires and razor back hogs is also
considered of Importance by the forest
ers, who say that the tree is destined to
play an important part in the future
of the cut-over lands of the south. As
an example of the high money returns
by turpentining the trees, it is
stated that in one instance in South
Carolina a twenty -year-old stand OF
slash pine averaged $50 trees per acre,
each of which had one cup. The turpen
tine operator paid the owner ten cents a
cup, or total of $52 per acre, for the
privilege of tapping the trees.
After a rest of from three to five
years the trees should be in good con
iition for back cupping and should pro-
luce even larger financial returns. BY
Using the improved methods of turpen-
inc advocated by the forest service, the
oresters say that such a stand could
,e turpentined for a longer period of
,esrs instead of the three or four years
lnder the crude methods now generally
Employed.
1t is pointed out that the yellow pine
ands of the south furnish by far the
'ulk of the naval stores of the world and
hat the supply is steadily decreasing as
hese lands are denuded of their timber
nd no provision made for their restock
ng. Because such high returns are pos
ible from slash pine, the experts believe
hat the tree should be encouraged To
ONE in on the cut over land of the south
18th view to pcrpetuating the naval
torres industry.

Suffrage Victories.

"The Illinois plan" OF suffrage exten-
sion has already become a law in Ohio
subject only TO possible recall by the
voters on referendum. The same plan
only lacks the governments signature in
Indiana to become law. The bill which
has there passed the legislature gives
women the right to vote not only for
presidential electors, but for all state
officers except the governor and the sec
rotary of state.
You have heard that New Jersey,
century or so back, withdrew the ballot
once exercised by women. As prece-
dent this fails to be impressive. You
have heard that thousands OF women in
California are so displeased with the OPP
GRAFTON OF equal suffrage that they con
template asking the general electorate to
go back to the old plan. But this testi-
mony is nebulous, and the probability of
a reversal wholly negligible. We have
in consequence a current which runs
only in one direction.
There may be serious dispute as TO
the wisdom of woman suffrage There
cannot be, it seems to MS, any doubt
that it is coming. Only one outcome of
the tendency already in evidence can be
These states which grant WON
en- the right 10 vote for only part OF

IS years ago that he started in the news

virtue OF his native ability and persist
ence to the position at the head Of one OF
the best known newspapers i'm the coun-
try. SO far as known, this was the long
est period of connection with daily
newspaper OF anyone engaged in the
business up to the time of Mr.. Richard
sons demise, During that time he
amassed considerable property and was
interested in various other kinds of bust
ness activity and in all movements that
tended TO enhance the prosperity of his
adopted home. Nor did he lose all
thought of his home state, as was indi-
Gated when he was instrumental in send

was promoter. Mr. Richardson was rs

The legislative committee authorized
to inspect the state school for the feeble
minded at Brandon did something which
it was not authorized to do, which was
to stop off and examine the state indus
trial school at Vergennes. If the legisa-

school needed an inspection it probably
would have sent an investigating com
mttee there, or have instructed the other
commission to do the work while en-
route to Brandon.

THE GERMAN SUBMARINES

IL is to be noticed that entente war
ships are not falling very frequently be-
fore the submarines at the present time
Germany for the present is intent on at
lacking commerce and is going about it
with all the abandon and rush that has
all her efforts since the
war started Germany has started very
many campaigns since August, 1914, and
for a time has carried everything before
her, only to be held up sharply before
the fun consummation Of the plans and,
therefore. before success was realized. 1t
is safe TO say, perhaps, that Germany
has not fully completed single effort.
There is the same possibility that, while
harrassing Great Britain terribly in this
submarine campaign. she viii neverthe-
less fan short of reaching the desired END
