SOUND THE xLARM

How many lovers of oranges, APP
pies, peaches and other fruits realize
that their supply of these delicacies is
dependent ON the practice of forestry
as well as of horticulture? Neverthe-
less this is actually the case, and the
explanation is simple, as the American
Forestry Association of Washington
which is campaigning for national
forest policy points out. Fruits are
almost universally shipped in wooden
containers. Wood comes only from
trees. And we are rapidly approach
ing the point where trees will no
longer be available in sufficient num-
bars 10 meet even our present needs
unless we practice forestry.
Boxes now absorb Is per cent Of the
total lumber cut of the country. In
Florida alone the growers Of oranges
and grapefruit already require more
than f2,00O,00O boxes year to get
their crop to the market. If produc-

ton continues to increase at the same
rate it has in recent years, by 1880
they will require 40,000,0O0 boxes, or
some 220,000,000 board feet Of hum
Der.
Where is the lumber to build the
boxes to come from? Florida fruit
growers are already becoming alarmed
at the steadily waning supply Of sou-
thern yellow pine and are considering
ways and means of meeting the situa-
ton. All fruit growers should be
alarmed, if they are not now. The
answer is simple--to assure a perma-
nent supply of timber by practising
forestry.
This involves the harvesting Of
present stands in such way as to Sc
cure the renewal of the forest, the re-
forestation of lands now denuded, and
the regulations Of the cut so that the
amount removed from the forest each
year will equal approximately the
amount grown. With the Smell For
estry bill producers and consumers
alike are vitality interested in seeing
that definite and comprehensive pro-
gram along these lines is put into ef-
feet without delay.

feed, with livestock paying little no
tice to dry forage. Rents per month
average SITE per head for cows, and
S1.65 for two-year-old steers. Pas
lures are on the average rented for
six months of the year. Alfalfa and
clover spring seedlings are heavy, and
considerable Easter damage has been
done to young plants. The 1921 al
falfa hay crop was severely damaged
by the freeze.
Fruit prospects suffered slashing
loss from the Easter storm, with de-
struction of peaches and plums,
slightly less damage to pears, and a
very heavy loss to apples in the south
western commercial districts. Straw
berries in the shipping section are re-
ported 25 to 80 per cent destroyed, al
though recovery is noted. Severe
losses occurred to cherries and small
fruits, while garden crops above
ground were badly injured. Heavy
paintings have been made of sweet po-
tatoes and potatoes in the CONNER
cial districts, with increased interest
in cantaloupes and watermelons in the
southeast.
General farming conditions are good
Earlier need of sub-soil moisture has
been met by recent rains. Live stock
is going on grass in good condition
with large amount of forage carried
over. Missouri farms need much re.
pair on buildings and other equipment
neglected during and following the
war.

WHOM DOES 1T REFREsENT'

In view Of the fight that is being
waged by the Missouri Federation of
Commercial Clubs for the "pork-bar-
reling" of the $6O,0O0,0O0 road bond
funds among the counties Of the state,
it is pertinent to ask and demand I'M
equivocal answers to these questions:
What is the Missouri Federation of
Commercial Clubs? What recognized
commercial clubs Of the state are
members of it. pay dues and authorize
A. Lyman Donlin and l. R. Kelso, both
of st. Louis by the way, to voice Of
ficially its sentiment on all matters Of
Importance? What commercial clubs
are represented by the gentlemen
whose names are signed to the pub
lished statement opposing the primary
: road plan? For instance, what organ
ization in st. Louis county is repre-
sented by Sam D. Hodgdon, by Louis
N. Renfrow and E. p. Lampkin in st.
Louis, and Heber Nations in Cole coun-
ty?
All those mentioned have an indis-
putable right to voice their individual
opinions as to the best manner of
spending the 100000, 900 road money,
but since they set forth that they rep
resent the commercial clubs of Mis-
souri,, the progressive citizens of the
state most certainly have the right to
ask for their credentials. Are they
authorized to speak for the CONNER
cial clubs of st. Joseph, Joplin, Spring
field, Chillicothe, Charlottesville, Mar.
shall, Fulton, Fayette, Jefferson City,
Mexico, Sedalia, Sikeston and Mober-
lily?
The questions are inspired by the
fact that charges have been made and
up to this time not satisfactorily an
swered that the Missouri Federation
of Commercial Clubs is a mere skele-
ton organization, composed chiefly OF
Messrs. Donlin and Kelso and repre-
senting but mere handful of Mis-.
soarians. The Star does not pretend
to know the actual situation with ref
erence to its strength and in order
that the state may be enabled to obs
tain correct estimate of it, throws its
columns open to Mr.. Kelso and Mr.,
Donlin, not for generalities and propa-

WASTE SHOULD BE ELIMINATED

One of the greatest sources of
waste and poor management in Amer
lean home life is the failure to apply
common sense business management
to the problems of family expenditure
in relation to income. Mindful Of this
fact Miss Myra Amsden, Professor of
Home Economics in the Southeast
Missouri State College, has worked
out a study of household budgets that
is of great practical value to the fam
lily in the realization of better use of
income.
Miss Amsden is giving this study in
connection with the Red Cross activ-
tiles in Cape Girardeau, and could give
it in every community in Southeast
Missouri where there is demand for
it. She finds, by actual investigation,
that typical American families are far
from enjoying the best use of their in
comes for the reason that husbands
and wives do not ordinarily study the
problems involved and apply simple
business and scientific principles in the
solution of them. Such questions as,
what items should constitute the
family budget" "The relative amounts
that should be apportioned to the va
rious items, Where cuts may be
made, if necessary, what new items
should be added when the income is in
creased" are all highly important.
Women's Clubs Chambers of Com
merce, and similar organizations
throughout Southeast Missouri might
well cooperate with Miss Amsden
in bringing this study to local COM
munities. She invites cooperation to
this end.

THE IRISH PROBLEM

"Sir Philip Gibbs is a friend of
mine," said Father Duffy in his Sun
day night lecture on the Irish ques-
ton. ~ admire him very much for
his personal qualities and for his
work." Father Duffy had already
shown his friendship by pleading for
fair play at turbulent Gibbs meet
ing. At the same hour Sir Philip was
paying tribute to Father Duffy as
a gallant man, gentleman and a
sportsman" By thus proving that an
Englishman and an American of Irish
blood who favors the Irish republic
can discuss the future Of the hapless
island in kindly spirit, maintaining
the courtesies of debate while sharply
disagreeing as to politics--that they
can even agree on one thing, which is
that there should be no war between
the United States and Great Britain
these eminent debaters have rendered
a service to their countrymen and
blood brothers in a troublesome time.
For that is the spirit in which the
Irish question must be settled, when
ever it is settled and no matter how.
Peace will not come by shooting police
officers in their beds or by equality
bloody reprisals against Sim Fem
towns. The trouble must be ended by
debate, discussions and decision in
which the ordinary decencies are OBJ
served, or it will never be ended

BUREAUISM

Just now farm bureaus have the
popular call. Western states have the
professionals organizing farm bureaus
and state farm bureaus. In a few
states they are already demanding
county appropriations. In some Idaho
counties $4,000 is asked for one year
to run the farm bureau. County and
state farm bureaus will be unloaded
on the general taxpayers and will cost
millions in a few years. Will the re-
suit be less work for the farmer,
cheaper food for the masses or merely
more taxes for the taxpayers?

fused to take place in Harding's
cabinet as Secretary Of the Navy be-
cause it was a field of activity in
which he had no experience. He is a

dred boards and commissions and put
in few business heads and reduced
the awful overhead burden of official
