CURRENT COMMENT
A Remedy for Rural Decadence.

There has been period in the re-
cent past when New England leaned
heavily on other sections OF the coun-
trv for many products of the soil es-
sential to the industrial and domes-
tic welfare of the region. 1t had be-
come so imbued with the idea that
the destiny Of this small corner OF
the country was to be the producer OF
finished products Of the factories that
it quite lost sight of its ability to fur-
nish some, at least, Of the raw ma
terials required by those factories, and
by its people generally. Happily the
economic unsonndness of that theory
has been recognized to considerable
extent. and the states are endeavor-
ing to promote better agriculture, and
in a measure TO reclaim their waste
areas through the cultivation OF TIM
Der crops. The loss in local potential
tiles that he's been suffered by New
HAMPSHIRE alone in the past thirty
wears. because of the concentration
upon manufacturing, was emphasized
by Colonel Henry s. Graves, lately
chief forester of the United States, IN
addressing the Federation of Women's
Clubs of that state yesterday. Basing
his figures upon the federal census re-
turns for 1880 and 1920 it was shown
that improved farm land in New
Hampshire had shrunk from 100000
acres TO a trifle above 100000, and that
the rate OF decrease in the last ten
wears has been over twenty four per
cent.
| The possibility of remedying this
situation in part through the revival
of the grazing industry has not been
wholly despaired Of It is recalled that
many of the small wooden mills OF the
state were founded eighty or more
wears ago TO utilize the feeces grown
on the wide upland pastures OF the
central townships Those pastures arc
| in the main abandoned now and grow
ing ND to brush. There are those who
| believe that the best of these could
be proftably reopened. BY and large
however, the well-being of New HamP'
shire centers in its forest lands, which
represent seventy-eight per cent of its
total area, with considerable more than

present time. No community can at
ford 10 carry such a burden of unpro'
ductiye property, especially when, a.
Colonel Graves stated, about half oil
the wood material required by the in
dustries has TO be brought in from
outside. He points out that the mair
concern should not be the production
of more box boards for the benefit OF
the big factory towns, and more pull
for the great paper mills, important AZ
those items are, but in making many
thousands Of acres of woodland con
tribute to the rehabilitation Of th'
adjacent farms and villages, and e
the rebuilding Of those rural civil
cations that have all but broken down
In any attempt to restore success
full agriculture in such state as New
Hampshire the forest factor cannot b
ignored and Colonel Graves urges Tho

THE WAY TO FIGHT FIRE
FIRE PREVENTION.

IT has been aptly said that the best
time to fight fire is before the fire
has started. Reduced to clearer
form, the words mean that it is wisest
to prepare SO that fire cannot start.
Ask any fireman il it isn't true; ask
any insurance agent If it is not Cos
pei truth; ask any conscientious prop
erty owner who has lost by reason OF
fire. They one and all will tell you
that the best time TO fight fire Is
before the fire has started. Build your
buildings well; eliminate fre-traps
use non -inhammable material if pos.
sible; have the electric wiring prop
erly installed; see TO it that ehimneys
are constructed according TO rules Of
reason; and, after the building Is com
pleted leave no materials about which
would have tendency 10 start a fire
or spread a FIRE should one get started
That is the way TO fight fire. II il
one Of the things which jealous en-
thusissts are trying to put before The
public this week, the week that \
called fire prevention week You may
not be building house; you may not
even be contemplating building 9
house. But you live in house; muel
of your property is placed inside tb'
four walls of a house; the lives O
your loved ones are being spent large
ly inside house. Therefore, it is ~
to you TO see to it that the best meth
cd of fighting fire is adopted in YOU
house. You may not be able to re
model the house to suit the most ap
proved methods Of construction bu
you can do countless other things (,
make the outbreak of fire impossible
You can see TO it th-i your chimney
are in good shape, that your stove
pipes are properly cleaned out ans
joined, that paper and other vast
material is removed from possible IL
milton, that your ashes are kept in
safe receptacle. Do IL now-fhis fiE

growing Of timber trees, but for de-
veloping small industries in the tree
growing localities for utilizing the
home wood product as substitute
for the all destructive tramp sawmill
The latter contributes less than moth
ing to local community betterment.
It's wanton methods discourage perma
nency of production and extend the
area of waste. Without the guaran-
tee OF a reasonable stable source OF
supply for the kinds of timber re-
ouired not even small industry would
feel justified in setting up a mill IN
the back country. That guarantee Of
permanently can best be given, in Colo
mel Graves belief, through well
considered program for the acquisition
of state forests which, under compe4
tent administration, viii attract indus
trial development in their neighbor'
hood, Identifying the surrounding agri'
cultural section through the added EN-.
ployment afforded in both woods and
shops, as well as through the increased
markets for the products OF fields and
woodlots. New Hampshire has already
made beginning IN this line, but N
the interest. of her statewide welfare
the need for broad expansion of ths
policy must be apparent to anyone
who travels about the state with oper
eyes. Nor Is this advice from Colone
Graves solely applicable to the Granit'
state. All New England may wei
give ear. Boston Transcript.

NOT ECONOMICAL TO
 BURN CORN IN OHIO

COLUMBUS, Dec. 20 The claim that 1t is more economical to burn coal than to burn corn in Ohio is made by rural economists and stock men at Ohio State University com menting upon the alleged statement hy Y. & Secretary of Agriculture Wallace that corn at twenty cents bushcl is as economical a fuel as coal at s1O ton.
 "In Ohio most corn is selling for between twenty-two and thirty cents 2 hushcl and our nearness to the coal fields is holding coal around SS a ton" declared ]. l. FalConer. head of the Department of Rural Economies, who said Secretary Wallace's figures appear to refer to States farther west.
 Even if Ohio prices were to reach the levels quoted in Secretary Wal lHCe's statement it would be bad farming to burn corn, according to Paul GcrIaugh. extension specialist in animal hushandry Live stock can use the grain to far better profit" " Prof Gerlaugh indicated Corn fed to hogs is worth about sixty-fiye cents a bushel, when fed to a beef calf, cighty-nine cents; to a yearly, fifty eight cents, and to two year-old, forty-thrce cents per bushel That is considerably more than it is worth as fuel

 Marriage advertisements have long been feature Of the German news papers, but the last few months have seen an extraordinary development in this line.
 The dcarth Of eligible husbands has compelled would-be wives to leave no stone unturned to achieve their de- sire, and whole columns are now daily devoted to appeals of women in search of husbands. setting forth their attractions. physical and finan- cial.
 Thus fraulein adyertises:
 "Twenty-six years old. fair good character, domcsticated. pleasant ap- pearancc. fortune and good dowry: wishes to meet a man of good char actcr and industrious; purpose of marriage"
 Then comes:
 "Well-educatcd farmers daughter, pretty, twenty-onc, moderate fortune. wishes to make a love marriage"
 Another young woman. bearing in mind the prevailing house shortage, says:
 Girl of twenty-six, with her own home, wishes to marry"
