FOREST PRODUCTION URGED
TO CONSERVE TIMBER SUPPLY

Washington, D. C.-EXportation of
American lumber on the scale likely
to result from the European demand
will seriously deplete the supplies need
ed by home industries, unless provi-
sion is made for regrowth, warns
Henry S. Graves, chief of the United
States Forest Service.
Prior to the war, the United States
exported about three and a half billion
board feet of lumber and sawlogs, or
about 10 per cent of the total cut.
Europe's emergency need for lumber,
above its consumption in normal times
is put at about seven billion feet a
year for the near future.
Chief Forester Graves urges more
adequate forest protection and the use
Of such methods &C cutting as will
make possible forest replacement by
natural reproduction. Such a policy,
the Forest Service urges, coupled with
a broad policy of public acquisition of
forests, national, state and municipal,
will make safe the encouragement in a
large way Of the export of forest pro-
ducts.

COUNCIL or FIVE AWAITS
ADVICE FROM WASHINGTON
AS 10 RUSSIAN BLOCKADE

Paris, Tuesday, July 1.-THE council
of five met this afternoon, its chief
topic Of discussion being the Russian
blockade There have been proposals
that the powers shall allow ships to en-
ter Russian ports under special permits.
The United States has insisted constant
IS that there has been no blockade
against Russia except as Is incidental TO
the embargo on imports to Germany.
Consequently, the American delegates
were not ready to take any action in
the matter until instructions have been
received from washington.
II has been suggested that most OF
the Black Sea ports could be blockaded
by the Deniliine government, which Is
friendly to the allies, but the supreme
council has not decided to ask General
Denekine to declare such a blockade.
A note has been received from Eeia
Kun, foreign minister of the Hungarian
soviet government, declaring that the
Czechs and Rumanians violated the
terms of the armistice with Hungary
and that consequently Hungarian forces
were ordered to cross the boundaries
fixed by the armistice. The note holds
that this order was issued in self de-
fense. The boundaries fixed by the ar
rnistice are so uncertain that the SUI
preme council has referred the matter
to a military commission for decision.

SECRETARY RUSSELL
DESIRES PERMANENT
STRUCTURES FOR FAIR

Carl Russell, county farm demon
stration agent, who also serves as SEE
retary of the Carter County Free falt
Association, is busily engaged AT pre-
sent with the multitudinous duties IN
cumbent upon him to make the ap-
preaching fair. success.
Mr.. Russell has one pet plan that ne
particularly desires to see culnlnatea
before the fair grounds gates are
opened in September, and that Is 10
erect at least one, and perhaps more
than one building on the fair grounds'
The one structure most needed, how
ever, is a large building for the i've
stock exhibit, and Mr.. Russell is 60
ing to exert every effort to have this
one constructed. He is seconded in
this matter by President Walter Col
bert, and every member Of the board
of directors of the association. Inc
principal obstacle that confronts the
fair board, however. is that OF nm
ance, and they are devising many
schemes to obviate this, with the hope
that at least one of their plans will
work out satisfactorily.
The president and secretary, as well
as every director of the association,
are a unit in saying that every build
ing erected on the grounds must be
of a permanent nature, and construct
ed with reference to the demands TO
be made upon it. They have adhered
to this principal in the past and Will
continue the policy in the future.
Another improvement they desire to
make is to paint every building on the
grounds, this not only lends attractive
ness to the park, but is a preservative
as well, and. as a matter of economy,
is worth much more than the actual
cost of material and workmanship.
The Carter County Free Fair AS
sociation is a young institution" said
Mr.. Russell, but it is healthy and
growing one and will improve with age.
IF we cannot realize our ambition
this year we can wait until such time
as we are financially able to pay for
what we want, and l believe that the
time is not far off when all our hopes
will materialiZe."
Secretary Russell is in communica-
ton with many parties outside the
state of Oklahoma who will have en-
tries here for the races, and he pre-
diets that the next Carter county fair
will be a huge success.
