Three National Forests
Recently Added to the List
Complying With Weeks Law

The president has proclaimed the es-
adjustment of three new forests, the
final step in carrying out the purpose
of the Weeks law.
The first, observes a writer in Out
look, is the White Mountain National
forest. Its area Of nearly 100000
acres protects the watersheds of the
Androscoggin, Saco, Connecticut and
Ammonoosuc rivers. This watershed
region has also Icing been famous as an
important recreation ground.
AS its name implies, the Shenandoah
National forest is on the watershed of
the Shenandoah river, but it also pro-
tects a portion Of the Potomac and
James river watersheds. Its area Is
about 10000 acres. On this area, and
still intact. are the trench systems
constructed during the Civil war under
Stonewall Jackson's supervision.
The White Mountain National forest
lies mostly in New Hampshire, but laps
over into Maine; the Shenandoah for
est lies mostly in Virginia, but laps
over into West Virginia. The Natural
Bridge National forest, however, is
wholly in Virginia. Its area is about
100000 acres. The forest protects O
part of the James river watershed.

as green manure in orchards, and In
commercial paintings it has been
thought well of by the farmers who
have used it. In western Oregon and
western Washington it can be grown
successfully as a seed crop, the yields
averaging from IL to Is bushels an
acre. 1t has not been sufficiently test.
ed In the Southern states to determine
definitely its value in localities where
common vetch Is now being grown, but
as 1t requires conditions similar to the
common varieties, it seems probable
that it may serve an excellent purpose
in this region as well as in the western
United States. 1t is of high feeding
value and makes good hay in pas
turage.
Under average conditions purple
vetch will stand winter temperature

or no injury. Where the temperatures
are not likely to fall below this mark

common vetch has been grown success
fully and the necessary bacteria have
been established in the soil, it is not
necessary to inoculate for purple
vetch.
Purple vetch should be drilled In
close drills or broadcasted at the rate
Of go to 80 pounds of seed per acre.
Harvesting can be done best with
common mower having swather at
tachment. It should be cut for hay
during the period from full bloom to
the formation of the first pods. The
yields average about 21s tons Of hay
per acre. When harvesting for seed
the crop should be cut soon after the
lower pods are ripe, at which time
the upper pods viii be mature and the
plant will be carrying a maximum
quantity Of seed. Purple vetch is less
exacting as to the time of cutting than
common vetch. as the seed skaters
less readily. Thrashing may be done
with an ordinary thrashing machine.

American Farmers Should
Follow ScotIand's Plan to
Eliminate Food Eating Rats

The canny Scots of West Perth
shire district are living up to their
reputation. They have organized in
an active campaign to exterminate
rats and save the food and property
which they waste. They have demon
strated that it is cheaper to kill than
to feed rats. According to a report
from the American consul at Dundee,
which has just been received by the
United States department of agricul-
ture, a campaign to exterminate rats
In the district mentioned, for which
$1,479.41 was appropriated resulted
last year in the killing Of 100000 rats.
The board Of agriculture appropriated
$4S6.65 for the campaign. 1t Is said
that one rat in the course of IL months
caused damage estimated at $2.43, and
as there were approximately two rats
to the acre, the amount of damage
done was equivalent to the average
amount of rent paid by the tenants of
West Perthshire. The campaign has
been SO successful and the people so
pleased with the results that COM
munity cooperation to exterminate
rats is to be continued another year.
according to the report.
American farmers, who have long
suffered losses from these food raid
ers, should follow the example set by
this district and organize community
campaigns to get rid Of rats. In many
sections of this country where similar
campaigns have been conducted re-
suits always have been gratifying.

SAVE PITS AND
SHELLS
Needed in Making Gas Masks
How Boys and Girls Can
Do Important War Work

By the q. s! Department Of Agriculture.
The war department has requested
the boys and girls clubs Of the coun-
try to help collect fruit pits and nut
shells. the carbon In which is used In
making gas masks. Contests have been
suggested among the million club MEM
hers by the United States department
of agriculture and the state depart
ment colleges, which conduct the club
work, to see which member, which
club, which district, and which state
can deliver the largest amount of ma
terial in the shortest time. Each men,
her should try to furnish at least 200
Deach pits, or seven pounds Of shells
enough material for one mask.
Since more and better carbon Is
secured from the pits Of peaches,
prunes and plums than from other
sources, boys and girls should make 1t
sheir special business to see that every
home In their communities saves the
pats of these fruits. They should also
visit community and commercial cam
neries. hotels, restaurants and baker
ses. In addition, seeds should be col
Jected from dates and olives, and shell
and whole nuts be saved from hickory
nuts, butter nuts, English and native
walnuts and hazelnuts. The material
NAV be delivered to the local Red
Cross headquarters, which are acting
an central stations for collecting and
shipping.

Platinum Mines of Russia
Said to Afford the Worlds
Most Profitable DREDGING

The most profitable dredging in the
world can be done on the platinum
placers Of Russia, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. The value of the
metal recovered is often equivalent
for considerable periods Of operation
to SIS cubic yard. When one remem
bers that the gravels of the California
gold-dredging fields yielded only about
10 cents to Is cents cubic yard on
an average, and nevertheless paid we'll,
the possible profits of platinum dredg-
ing become apparent.
Before the war there were about Is
dredges at work in the Urals, operat-
ing two-thirds of the time Of each
working season of about $50 days, and
averaging 500 cubic yards a dredge a
day, thus working a total Of about
100000 cubic yards of material a
year, and recovering annually 10000
to 100000 ounces of platinum. There
is only one first-class dredge In opera
ton in the Urals. They are mostly Of
Anticipated design and of poor con-
Struction.
First-class dredges working in ma.
terial Of similar characteristics dig
several times as much gravel a day In
other countries with similar climate.
Working costs in the Ural regions are
twice those in Montana, which has q
similar climate, but where the aurifer.
Gus gravel is much harder to dredge.

veyance it will assume water-leyel
on top. At the same time it should
not be so wet as to flow readily.
The thickness Of the lining needed
depends upen the severity of the eli
mate, the care and skill used in pre-
pairing the foundation, the character
of the concrete and other factors.
Reservoirs Built OF cobbIestones.
Many small reservoirs have been
built in southern California to store
water pumped from wells over night
for use In irrigation the following day.
In the Pomona valley, which includes
an area Of valley land comprising
something like 81 square miles, Of
which about one-third Is irrigated,
there were in 1912 over so Of these
reservoirs owned and operated by indi-
vidual orchardists or by small groups
of orchardists comparatively. In the
preparation of much Of the land for
citrus orchards on the benches Of
this valley large quantities of cobble-
stones are removed and dumped into
r"vines or piled up in long rectangu-
lar walls. Years ago some one con-
ceived the idea of making use of this
took tc give stability to reservoir
walls, and out of this conception has
been developed more or less distinct
type Of farm reservoir. This type
consists in the main Of wall of cob
biestonc masonry laid in cement NOR
ter in which a small amount of lime Is
Incorporated, a concrete floor and an

terror.
From an engineering standpoint the
crucial tests of reservoir may be
said to be such features as efficiency,
durability, first cost, and maintenance.
