CUTTING CHRISTMAS TREES
IN THE NATIONAL FORESTS

The Forest Service is now prepared
to offer solution of the problem not
bv the discontinuance or restriction
of the use of Christmas trees. Far
from it, for to most of us Christmas
without the tree is as turkey without
the dressing.
Nature in. the process Of growing
forests sows the seed thickly with the
result that. on favorable sites the
young stands of trees are too thick
for rapid growth into sawlog and tie
size. This. of course, is the prime
object of the practice of forestry.
Everyone knows who plants q garden
that the corn where it comes up too
thick must be thinned out while the
plants are small if the large roasting
ears are to be grown. If left without
thinning the corn becomes stunted
-nnd the ears nubbins. So in the for
est. If our Young stands are allowed
| to grow to maturity in dense clusters
or groups, the trees become stunted
with slow growth and do not attain
their maximum size for sawlogs and
ties.
There are extensive areas in the
National Forests where the young
stands are too thick and need thin
ming. These Trimmings will supply
large numbers of Christmas trees.
After thinning is done, growth Is
stimulated in tho trees left, causing
them 10 attain a large size suitable
Gov .o,-l,c,. IN , r,u,b shorto, y,oripl
This thinning must be done care
fully and wisely t the forest is to be
improved. Certain thrifty, well
spaced trees must be left; others
must come out. S.unted and sup
pressed trees cftentimes made Just as
good Christmas trees rs do the more
/ thrifty growing ones. Many areas in
the National Forests support Young
trees to 10 feet high TO the extent
of 5000 10 10000 per acre and all are
still fairly thrifty and of uniform
size. One thousand such trees uni
fcrmly spaced is the maximum num-
Der which can be left and expected
TO grow into ties and sawlogs. This
thinning, the Forest Service is pre-.
4 pared to do with ITS corps OF trained
foresters and it is essential to the
best interest of the people who own
the National Forests that these young
stands he handled wisely and put in
the best possible condition for the
production of lumber.
The Forest Service sells these trees

How long does it take to grow a
Christmas tree7 Ten years, yes, and
usually in the mountain regions of the
West, twenty-five years. The City of
Denver requires annually some 10000
Christmas trees; the State of Colo
rado probably 100000, and in the
whole United States some 10 to 20
million young trees are cut each year
at the yule tide. Is it any wonder
then that the promiscuous and de
structive cutting of the young for
ests of the country is source of
alarm TO many conservative citizens,
not only in Denver but thruout the
state of Colorado and the United
States7 This is not without cause,
for in the past these trees have been
cut from privately owned lands and
without concern for the future of tie
forest stands to-insure proper protec-
tion against total destruction in many
localities. Car loads and truck loads
Of young trees by the score pour out
of the mountain forests annually into
the eastern part of this state or
neighboring states that are not for
tunate in having forests of their own,
for the Christmas festivities. These
trees coming almost entirely from
privately owned lands were cut no
doubt in most cases without regard to
the future of the forest stands and
under the most destructive methods,
Each owner of private forest lands
should feel obligated to the future of
the nation and to himself to cut his
trees wisely and conservatively. I'm
fortunately this is not the case.

SKUNK ATTACKS
SLEEPING COWBOYS
One Dies and Other Seriously
Hurt. - Animal
Killed

I'll Paso, Nov. 26. owboys of the
Double Triangle ranch near Fairyiew,
n. NJ, are here with the story of a
skunk attack upon them one night as
they slept in the Black Range noun
iains where they eanped when dark
uess came upon them after round
up of cattle on'the range. One Hod
Ramsey, is dead from the effects of
= bite in the nose by skunk and
another Walter Chandler has arrived
here for treatment of similar infec-
tion on the forehead.
According to Chandler, he was
awakened about midnight by skunk
biting at the top of his head. Its
teeth tore loose as he awakened,
Chandler said. Near morning Ramsey
awoke to find skunk sinking his
teeth in his nose. said Chandler, and
other COWBOYS had to cut the animal S
head off to loosen his grip from Ram
sey's flesh,
Medical aid was not sought and
after about seven days Ramsey went
into convulsions and died two days
later. Chandler then came to FL Psso
for treatment of his forehead.
F. c. Lamb. city chemist, said Ram
sey's death was probably due to
rabies which may have developed
from the bite. Chandler was bitten
on the forehead and infection would
not penetrate thru the skull and was
not serious, Mr.. Lamb said.
This danger from skunks was well
known to the old-time trappers and

THINKS SPORTS
HELP COLLEGES
Believes In Getting Best Coach
Possible and Making
Athletics Attractive

Galesburg, ILL.,, Nov. 26.-President
j. M. Tilden of Lombard college here
has little formula for successful col
lege athletics. 1t is this:
Make athletics as attractive as
possible.n
"Get the best coach you cam
Simple, but President Tilden de-
clares it accounts for his school, with
only 102 men enrolled, turning out
a football team which is more likely
to score 100 points than so.
1--WE pay our football coach our
maximum salary President Tilden
observed today. can the faculty and
everybody is happy.
at is matter of necessity. You
cannot run college without athletics
and TO make a success of sports you
must have the best coach you can find,
for the same reason that you select
the best possible professor for French
or the highest authority possible for
chemistry. Then with athletics an
assured success, we have a popular
lever with which to lift the men, in
their educational efforts"
There is that one other great ele-
ment-material, and President Tilden
has been going after that just as Wig
orously as he campaigned for foot
ball teacher. His choice for coach
fell on Paul j. Schissler, then assist
attn director of athletics at the Uni
versity OF Nebraska and head coach
of its basketball and baseball teams.
Schissler had made great record al
Nebraska but liked the idea of head
ing his own athletic department even
at much smaller school.
1t is President Tilden s theory that
no material inducements need be eS-
tended to bring good athletes to the
college.
"Just make your school attractive

dents idea, and he points to those
