ONLY 8 PER CENT
 OF RUSSIA FILLED
(RrooklYn Eaglel

In the last thousand years Russia has cultivated only per cent of her land; 92 per cent has remained in its original state of forests, steppes and marshes. Worse than conditions in England or Ireland, 90 per cent of Rus sia's land is owned by the state or the nobility and only 10 per cent is in pos session of private individuals or groups of men. The 90 per cent owned by the state is practically contained in the 92 per cent uncultivated.
 Of the land under cultivation 80 per cent is owned by peasants and Cos sacks. Altogether, nearly 15000, 900 peasants own their land; three times that many employees serve them at a wage.
 Even under tyranny during the past sixty years the agricultural area of Russia proper has increased 40 per cent. This population of Russia has more than doubled since 1860. Want of market facilities has been a preventive of agricultural growth. There are rail- ways. but they are miserably managed deficient in locomotive and rolling stock and their permanent ways out of repair
 In short, there is not nearly suffi- cient land under cultivation in propor- tlon to the population. Even were the peasants to receive all the lands pos sessed by other private owners, they would get little more than half an acre each Therefore the problem is not so much in redistributing the arabic lands as Of breaking the sod of new lands just as had to be done in all our west i ern states.

BY ARMY PATCHING
 MILLIONS SAVED
(New York Times)

A big enterprise has been built up at Dewsbury by the war office by when discarded uniforms and other articles of clothing collected on the battlefleldS and in home camps are dealt with Tn such a way as to save hundreds or thousands of pounds.
 Since the work has been in progress about 5000 900 separate articles have been dealt with including:
 4,100,00O jackets.
 4,500000 pairs of trousers.
 620,000 great coats.
 9O3,00O pairs of riding brooches.
 2,700,000 puttees.
 3500,000 shirts.
 S56,000 caps.
 1900 900 cardigan jackets.
 1S000 GOO socks.
 1,700,0 900 pairs of drawers.
 5000, 900 other articles.
 This part-wo clothing comes to Drewsbury in bags, and is run in trucks straight into the huge sheds at three railway stations.
 Here the bags are ripped open, and the contents spread out among the "pickers" whose nimble fingers and trained eyes quickly discover which garments should be set aside for reno- vation and which are only fit for dis posal to rag merchants and others. who put them through special machinery preparatory to their being made up again into army cloth in the local factories.
 As many as ninety truck loads have been received in a day
 There are 300 women sorters, who do their work so thoroughly nothing is wasted. Garments beyond repair are carefully scrutinized, and sorted into woollens, linseys, angolas, etc. Articles capable of being restored are sent to local dyers and cleaners.
 Then they are repaired and reissued to the troops or German prisoners of war.

FIX T WEEK. STARTS TODAY
 IN ALL FARMS

The University of Arizona Agricul- tural Extension service is urging ali farmefs in Arizona to join in the National Implement and Inspection Week. to be held in all states the week beginning March 1. Farmers are asked to do three things.
 First-Make an inspection of their farm implements and machinery to determine what repairs will be neces- sary to put them into workable con- dition and to locate the worn parts needing replacement.
 Second - Determine those imple- ments and farm machines so badly worn that they should be replaced with new.
 Third - Order at once necessary new parts or new machinery to be needed.
 A critical situation confronts the manufacturers of farm operating ma chinery, due to shortage of mate- rials and labor, together with trans portation difficulties.
 Delays in ordering new machinery or parts often result in lack of inn plemeuts at a critical time of seed ing or other farm operation. The labor shortage can be partially off, set by more efficient machinery.
 The federal government has rec ognized the important part farm ma chinery is to play in this big food drive by giving the raw materials for it's manufacture a rating next to materials for ammunition.
 Companies producing farm machin- cry are bending every energy to pro- vide an adequate supply. It is the duty of the farmer to determine at an early date his wants and to ler them be known to his dealer, local merchant or manufacturer.
 Farm machinery is too expensive and the material too scarce to allow

Sitka spruce can be kiln dried from the green condition with no more, per haps less, injury to its mechanical properties than by air seasoning. Defi- mite specifications have been prepared for kiln drying spruce green from the saw for airplane construction, and if rigidly enforced, they will insure kiln dried stock of this species equal to air dried stock.
 A preliminary study of propeller con- struction has shown the need of suct information on propeller woods. Ths testing of the ash and other species now on hand. which include several propeller woods, is being pushed as rapidly as possible, and there seems reason to expect as favorable results as for the spruce

cording to the size and kind of wood. Kiln dried stock under the methods ordinarily used has frequently proved unsatisfactory, and for that reason airplane manufacturers have been re- luctant to use it. If the needs Of the fighting forces were to be met ade- quately and without prolonged delay, it was essential that methods of con- ditioning should be available in Whlch full confidence could be placed.
 Long before this situation developed the forest products laboratory of the forest service, at Madison, Wis. had been making a scientific study of the drying of wood, and had developed a method of drying which has been very successful with all the woods tried. Several kilns have been built at the laboratory for experimental purposes and a number of demonstrations made in commercial kilns. Ash and spruce are the woods most in demand for air. plane construction, and, anticipating the present situation, the forest service secured a shipment of partially air sea- soned ash and bruce plank for prellm-

machines to stand idle when a few repairs will put them to work again. The retired machine must at this time be called temporarily into service.
 Not only tools and implements to be used this spring should be gone over and put in shape, but it is desirable that the equipment for the harvest be considered. The smaller hand tools should be repaired as well as blows, barrows, disks, planters, drills, cultivators, mowers, rakes, stackers, binders, diggers, harvesters, cleaners, threshers, tractor. etc.
 Let farmers join in observing "fix- it week" and by such foresight be prepared to go into the field for the conquest of food crops as a soldier by inspection and repair Of arms and accoutrement is properly equipped for battle.

 This material was kiln dried without injury. Later thoroughly green Sitka spruce, white ash (northern and south ern), white oak, Douglas fir western white pine and mahogany were secured in the log for testing. The spruce and ash logs were cut up and the green material from eaoh species divided into three matched groups. One group of each species was tested green, an other has been set aside to be tested when it is air dried, and the third group was kiln dried, trying several methods, and then tested.
 Only the results of tests on the spruce have so far been analysed. Comparison with standard tests which had already been made shows that
