But with no state forestry department in eight South ern States, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Ar kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma, and a total forestry appropriation in the six named states now having depart ments of but $42,900 in 1918, there is presented to the thoughtful Southern CT a pressing need for increased eff fort and a determined campaign for forestry legislation, study and action.
 Never can there be more propi- tious time for pushing forestry in the South. In recent years a great awakening has taken place and idle land-cut-over and swamp-land-that lie within the boundaries of the Southern states.

 New Bedford, on the Massachusetts Coast, has fixed place in history and story as a seaport that once knew the commerce of the world. In the generation new Berford flourished Portugal had rich trade with the United States and it was conducted almost exclusively through the gate way of New Bedford. Other ports almost as rich in the history and TO- nance of the sea are brought to pub- lie attention again by the needs of the new merchant marine.

This Rain Maker
First Produces
A Local Cyclone

BROWNWOOD, Tex, Jan. 9,-Ira
Terrell, a local inventive genius, has OBJ
tanned a patent on a rain~-producing
machine, which he says will be placed
on the market soon.
1t is claimed by scientists who have
examined the apparatus that It Is per
feet In principle and that 1t should he
effective in practice. The machine will
be called the 'cyclo-rain," because its
main working basis acts like that OF a
cyclone.
By means OF four powerful cham
bers, whose total strength will be ZOO,
horsepower, the machine will start and
maintain for an indefinite number of
hours a storm center by forcing up
ward 1000, 900 cubic feet of air per
minute with a velocity Of ono mile a
minute. The air current made by the
machine will be forced to ascend, thus
displacing the cool air above.
The warm ar coming in contact with
the cool air will cause moisture and
precipitation. 1t is estimated that the
rain thus derived from the machine will
cover one Texas county n that one
machine in every arid county will be
sufficient to cause rainfall in plenty.

words, ] do not believe we are going

amount of initiation. To the extent

~ agree that this congress must re-

Of the nations forming the league he
said, but | think 1t would be a dan
gerous policy to let the peace congress
drift along aimlcssly without reaching
a positive organization of q league OF

ardous and gets one nowhere
Asked how far ornaments can be
limited by a league of nations, Lord
Robert replied:
THAT, In my opinion, Is probably the
most difficult problem the peace con-
ference will face. Before national gov
ernments had effective police oragan-
iZatiOns II was impossible TO prevent
individuals from carrying arms to pro.
tect themselves against ~outlawry. Laws
against the carrying OF firearms could
not be enforced until the necessity for
carrying them ceased to exist.
80 II Is with the league. Individual
nations will hardly be willing to disarin
until they are sur0 Of peace and justice
through the operation Of the league.
Moreover, how can any limitation OF
ornaments be actually enforced? What
assurance can we have, for instance,
that Germany will not create an army
| more or less secretly?
"The world did not know how extern
sively Germany was preparing for war.
She might develop another force under
the guiSo Of militia. These are the diff
ficulties we have to face, but we must
endeavor earnestly to secure co-opera-
tion between the powers represented at
tho congress in a broad policy Of de-
mobilization which will correspond with
the yearntngs OF all peoples to be re-
lteved M coon as possible from the bur-
dans they have borne for these last four

fensive purposes. They build them fol

statements were personal views and not
an attempt to give the views Of the
British government.
In my opinion a league Of nations
is necessary as the initial step in the
peace negotiation" said Lord Robert.
1T is not only necessary to insure peace
but also for the proper treatment of
many international questions which
must be considered by peace congress.
