acres OF land have been drained only to
make available land entirely unfit for
cultivation.
These mistakes are almost criminal
when it is known that in many in
stances the drainage projects have re-
suited in the killing of great forests
through depriving them Of an adequate
water supply More than this, reser-
voirs of the utmost value in the con-
servation Of water supply and as a
protection to the washing out of lands
in heavy doWnpours have been de-
stroyed. Concrete examples of this are
given in the AdirondacBs, where New
York taxpayers have been forced to
build huge reservoirs to hold back
floods and regulate the flow of streams
in order to obtain water for their
city.
There Is only one right way TO go
about a drainage project You must an
alyze the soil before you decide to
drain and must also consider the value
Of the body Of water as q source Of
moisture to the adjacent forests and
as a safety reservoir to prevent floods
and other damage"
Mr.. Davey said further that the de-
partment of agriculture had gone on
record for the statement that there are
more than 40, 100000 acres of unused
lands between Washington. D. c., and
New Orleans, which We're perfectly
adapted to agricultural pursuits and
required no artificial drainage. In con-
Guiding, Mr.. Dayey strongly endorsed

fuge bill now pending in congress as a
valuable aid to forest conservation.
This measure provides for a federal
shooting license and part of the
funds derived from it are to be used
to buy large areas of land which are
the natural haunts of wild life and
which are not Of Importance to agri-

NEW YORK, Dec. This country

decade, according to Martin L. Davoy,

David Z. Goodwillie, chairman OF

that in 1910 the production could only

GERMANY PREPARES
TO RENEW CONSULS

NEW YORK, Dec. -Germany's
diplomatic and consular forces today
pressed their preparations for hanging
out their flag again in Washington,
New York and other cities
The steamer Nieuw Amsterdam ar
rived today with Karl LANCE, charge
d'affaires of the German embassy, and
consular agents for western cities.
While they were coming up the bay,
charwomen and porters invaded the
Swiss consulate on lower Broadway
and began the work Of cleaning and
removing to new quarters in the same
building a number of safes, fling cab
inets and desks stamped Imperial
German Consulate" and sealed when
the former emperor's representatives
closed up shop here in April 1917, and
turned over their equipment to the
Swiss.
Except for rust and dirt, the great
safes appeared as they did in pre-war
days. A story was printed during hos
tiIities-and subsequently denied-that
American secret service operatives
opened the safes on a certain night
examined the contents and then so
successfully replaced the seals as to
dery detection.
The new German consulate here
opens Jan. 8. Most Of its staff already
has arrived.
Herr LANCE, who has been "a years
in the German diplomatic service and
who bears slight resemblance to
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am
bassador when America entered the
war. summed up the question OF In
deI7nities in these words:
AT present Germany cannot pay.
WE must devise new ways"
Expanding on conditions in his
homeland, he continued:
Economic conditions are much
sounder. The new republican govern
ment is doing its best to establish good
conditions. If they leave US the
means to do things. we viii certainly
come back. The people are inclined
TO live in an orderly manner ana want
better conditions Of life"
