DETERIORATION OF WOoDLoT
There Is Usually Almost No Young
Growth Of Tree Species Where
Pastured Heavily.

Heavy pasturing of farm woods has
been one of the chief causes Of their
deterioration, It has been found by the
forest service, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. The severity Of
damage depends largely upon the
number Of stock and the makeup of
the woods. In heavily pastured woods
there is usually almost no young
growth Of the valuable tree species.
Cattle, horses. sheep or goats eat
young seedlings, particularly the hard
woods, trampIe them out, or else
break them off Hogs eat some kinds
of seed and thus prevent reproduction
from starting or root young seedlings
out Of the ground and sometimes eat
the roots.
In those parts OF the southern long
leaf pine region where hogs run wild
they are known to do a great deal Of
damage to the seedlings and often
damage trees several feet in height.
When driven out of the swamps by
nigh water l. the late winter and early
spring they root up the long.Ieaf pine
sacailr md sevnur the heavy roots.
Observations s1rsit,t Oh III Louisiana
have shown stands Of several thousand
long-leaf pine seedlings per acre where
protected against hogs and no seed
lings on adjacent areas which were
unprotected.

PEA ROOT ROT FOUND
IN WESTERN STATES
Much Of Seed Grown in Montana,
Idaho and Utah.
Survey Indicates That There Are In
elplent Cases Of Disease In NsarIy
All Of the Most Important
0Istrlcts-


prepared BY ths United States Department
OF AEficuiturel
Does pea root-rot, 50 destructive 10
the pea-cannlng sections Of the Eastern
and Central states, occur In the impor-
tant seed-producIng sections OF the
West, or is there some basis for the
belief Of the growers there that their
climate and soil safeguard them in
some way from lossf Is there any
danger Of the spread of pea diseases
with western seed.
Answers to these questions have
been made by specialists Of the bu-
reau Of plant industry, United States
Department OF Agriculture, who have
studied the pea disease situation dur
Ing the past season. which hns been
one of heavy loss IN some Of the older
sections Of the country where pea
root-rot has now become SO common
that many fields are unprodu,tive and
the continuation Of the industry seems
uncertain in some localities.
Much Of the seed used In the East
Is grown In Montana, Idaho, and Utah,
where the industry is relatively young.
A survey of these states, however, in
dicntes that there are incipient cases
of pea root-rot in nearly all Of the i'm
p0rtant districts and that under pres
ent conditions it will be only matter
Of time before this type Of trouble Is
as widespread as It is In the East.
In the same way the western potato
growers, who formerly escaped root
troubles, now find their yields very
greatly curtailed by Fuserium blight.
RhizoctOnia, and other fungus para
sites which have Increased with the
longer culture Of the crop. The west
ern climate cannot be depended upon
to keep plants healthy Growers
should therefore watch carefully for
the appearance on pea rpol-rps ana
practice the longest possible rotations
to prevent its development. The sit
uation is not one to justify undue
alarm, but these findings should be
taken seriously If the interests Of the
pea crop in later years are to be safe
guarded.
The danger of spreading pea dis
eases with the seed is minimized by
the department specialists, who point
out that only one disease. the leaf
and pod spot, is carried in this way,
and this Is not as general or extensive
as has been believed.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. Tie mild and healing
influence Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Rcot 10
soon realized, It stands the highest for
itf remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one Of tho
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
50 many applicants for insurance are re-
ieeted is because kidney trouble Is 30
common to the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores IN bottles Of two sizes,
medium and large. However, If you wish
drat to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer 4 Co., Bingham
