POPULATION DECREASING
Number Of Births in France Is Di-
minishlnc.


Paris, Feb. ll-France's civil pop
ulation in four years has decreased
by considerably over three; quarters
~ a million, without including the
deaths in occupied northern France,
nor the losses due directly to the war.
Official statistics show that in 1913
the births outnumbered the deaths by
II 900. But this slight excess disap-
peared In the following year, since
which time the deaths have outnum-
bered the births in 1914 by more
han $4,000 and in 1915, 1916 and 1917
by nearly 100000 IN each year. The
total excess OF deaths over births for
lhese four years is given as SSS,l6O.
Births. which outnumbered approx.
imately 100000 In 1913, dropped to
3l5. 600 in 1916 and $4,000 in 1917,
while the deaths increased, but not
in comparable proportions; so that
he total decrease in population was
due to the great diminutlon in births
and not TO any great increase In
deaths
The statistics cover II departments
excluding II invaded departments,
and not including 100000 persons
killed in the war

fed cows the average income over cost
Of feed was $73 and for the granted
COWS the average income over cost OF
feed was $37.
The alfalfa-fed cows may have been
better cows and the climate may have
been better adapted to !dairying, but
rs both districts are favorably known
for their dairy products it may be
assured that the cows were Of good
quality and we'll cared for in both dis
tricts. It seems fair, therefore, to con-
clude that the higher production and
greater income above feed cost Of the
alfalfa-fed COWS was due largely to
the feeding of homegrown legumes. In
any case it is we'll worth while for the
farmers Of one district to study the
feeding practices of other districts. IF
lcgumes add to net profits, why not
grow and feed more legumes1 If the
soil is not adapted to legumes it may,
pay to add lime or manure or what
ever else it lacks in order that the
dairy herd may be supplied with an
abundance of homegrown legumes.

duce its proportional part of that vast
sunni
Approximately one-half Of the tim.
bered areas in the United States are
in farm woodlots. These areas are
capable of being more intensively
managed than are the large timber
supply forests and can be made to
produce more timber than the forests
proper. As a rule, however, the wood
lot is deteriorating, because the own
ers are usually culling out the better
species, are making no provisions for
the future timber crops, and in many
places are using the woodlot as a pas
ture to the detriment of the woodlOt.
