LARGE INCREASE SHOWN IN
NATIONAL FOREST RECEIPTS

The largest increase ever made in
a single year is seen in the receipts
from the National Forests for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1919,
which were greater by $783,484 than
in the previous twelve months. The
receipts totaled $4,368,414 says Chief
Forester H. S. Graves in his annual
report just made public. To this
total the grazing business contribu-
ted more than $2.600,00O and the re-
ceipts from timber were somewhat
more than $1,500,00O.
Under act of Congress, nearly a
million and half dollars of Nation
al Forest receipts were truned over
to the various states in which the
Forests are located, for school and
road purposes, during 1919.
The Rocky Mountain District of
the forest service contributed $685.
1888 of the total received from all
National Forests in the country, Of
this amount, receipts from the Nat
ional Forests of the six states COM
prising the District were as follows:
Colorado $460,195; Wyoming, $157,948;
South Dakota, $67,137; Nebraska,
$14,404; Minnesota, 11,777, and Michi-
gan 1886.
That the receipts from grazing
now exceeds those from timber by
more than a million dollars and form
SO per cent of the total receipts is
due, states the forester, to the fact
that practically the entire forage
crop of the National Forests can,
under present conditions, be utilized
while the annual timber cut is but
an insignificant fraction of the sus-
tanned yield obtained from the for
ests or the total cut of the country.
With the stockmen paying more
than two and ahalf million dollars
annually into the public treasury for
the use of National Forest ranges,
there is strong reason for their urg-
ing an increase in Government ex-
penditures to make the range more
useful to them.
The Forester pointed out that
while the receipts for 1919 were IT'S
per cent Of those for 1915, the cost
of operation has remained practically
stationary. Some new fire funds
were appropriated but did not be-
come available until the last of July.
Unless higher salaries are paid the
foresters and more money provided
for protection, the maintenance Of
an efficient organization will be i'm
possable.

new YEARS DAY

In parts Of the old world this is
a very solemn holiday of deep mean
ing. The earth then makes a new
start for one more revolution around
the sun. One revolution finished and
another begun.
By these revolutions Of the earth
we count time. By the one around
the sun we count the years and by
the one around her own axis we
count the days. These two move
ments give us the idea of time. The
flight of time! What is it then but
the flight of the earth in it's double
movement!
But still, New Years Day is in the
old world one of the greatest holi-
days. A whole nation is pausing in
it's toll and moil and gives itself for
"a hours over to contemplations that
stills the soul, and takes expression
in many forms. A great hush is
settled over everything. All work
is laid aside, it's noise silenced.
Everybody has donned, if possible,
something new, furnished by the
Santa Claus of Christmas week ago.
Religious people go together in
prayer and meditation. Joyful peo-
pie hold their midnight wake and
raise to their Lips the foaming cham
pagne, while the clock strikes the
solemn IL strokes between the fled
and the advancing year. The whole
following day, the first Of the year,
is celebrated by an endless repeating
of "happy new year" phrase. People
visit one another to exchange the
good wish. Those who are holding
positions go in evening dress and
silk hats to make their bow before
their superiors, who in turn invite
them to a grand dinner. The chur-
ches have morning, high mass and
vesper services and the theaters give
new plays, with motives for the sea-
son.
New Years Day is by many con-
sidered the holiday of holidays. 1t
belongs to all creeds. In it is in
volved only the idea of God. Christ,
Mohammed, Con Flu Tol, Brahma,
Brigham, Young, Voliva, they all be-
long to groups or divisions of re-
ligion, and have their separate days
and fetes. Thus not all people cele-
brate Christmas, but all may cele-
brate New Years, for that is the day
of the Creator of materia and space
and time. That is the day of the
God, who reigns over us ALL
Let us solemnise the day in
worthy manner, the whole human
race. Here is neutral ground, let US
meet there.

IRENE MARGERET GILBERTSON
PASSED AWAY LAST WEEK

Irene Margaret Gilbertson, daugh-
ter of Hans Gilbertson of Maple Hill,
died at the home of her sister, Mrs.
Engel Tormundson, of Red Cliff, last
Thursday from a combination of
measles and broncho pneumonia
The end came so suddenly that her
father, brothers and sisters living
here and on Maple Hill we're unable
to reach her bedside before she
passed away.
Irene was born on Maple Hill on
May II, 1907, where her parents were
among the early settlers, and where
she received her schooling and grew
up to be young girl. She possessed
a natural sweetness of disposition,
and by her many beautiful traits and
exemplary conduct won the respect
and love of all her acquaintance.
The funeral was held at the Gil
bertson home and at the Maple Hill
church Sunday afternoon; Rev. H. F.
johnson Of the Norwegian Lutheran
church officiating: Interment was
made in the Maple Hill cemetery. The
large gathering and the beautiful
floral offerings testified to the esteem
in which she was held.
Besides her father there is left to
mourn four sisters and four brothers,
all who have the deepest sympathy
of their many friends in the loss of
so lovable daughter and sister.
This is the second death in the
Gilbertson family recently. She
having been preceded by her loving
mother by only few months.

County Farm Bureau

Edited by County Agent

Disposal of manure as fast as it is
produced in winter is advocated by
M. j. Thompson, superintendent Of
the Duluth sub-station of the Min
nesota department of agriculture
Double handling is thus avoided.
Losses by teaching are held to be
slight. The Duluth district has deep
snow and low temperatures, but in
five years Of livestock farming at the
sub-station there has been no devia-
tion from the rule of hauling the
manure to the fields promptly. Mr..
Thompson says:
'The spreader is operated as late
in the fall as possible. With the
coming Of snow a rough box with
runners attached is placed at each
barn, the manure is dumped into it
and in freezing weather it is hauled
to the fields at once.
"We manure the grain stubble
where hay is to follow the coming
season" This insures good hay crop
even though the year may be dry.
The manure is worked into the soil
thoroughly before the cultivated
crop follows in its turn. Likewise
the weed seeds are sprouted and out
of the way with the hay crop. AS
nearly as possible we try to apply
at the rate Of two tons an acre a
year for each acre under the plow.
Thus in a five year rotation this
would mean ten tons per acre to-
each field applied once in five years."
