MILLION TO FORESTS
ASKED OF CONGRESS

Observation-Disclosures legislation
in the interests of forestry is to be
sought during the present session of
Congress. The Department of Agri-
culture is backing a comprehensive
scheme in an appeal for an appropria-
ton of one million dollars, so that the
Forest Service may cooperate with
Pennsylvania and other States in COM
prehensive forest fire protection and
other forestry work. Secretary Mere
dith introduced the measure and hear
ings are being arranged for.
The American Forestry Association,
through it's president, Charles Lathrop
Pack, has begun campaign to have
early hearings on the Smell bill, which
calls for national forest policy. 1t
is also interested in the proposed in
crease of the Forest Service appropri-
alton from $125,000 to $1,000,000
"The Smell bill' said Mr. Pack, sis
one of the most important pieces of
legislation ever presented in Congress.
1t has the backing of the newspaper
publisher, the wood users and every
correlated industry and organization.
with the forest fire loss around
thirty million dollars a year, and the
fact that we are using our forests
about four times faster than we are
reproducing them, it is evident this is
the time of action. We must put our
idle land to work. Hearings on this
bill should be called at once.
The organizations represented on the
National Forestry program committee
are: American Newspaper Publishers

FARMERS ARRANGE
FOR NINE MARKETS

st. Louis-Preliminary arrange
ments for launching national system
of cooperative markets and financial
institutions designed to rehabilitate
the farming industry in this country
were completed here last week at the
concluding session of the agricultural
conference inaugurated by the Ma
tional Board of Farm Organizations.
The conference indirsed plan to
establish nine main handling centers.
and will seek the united support of all
farmers cooperative grain marketing
organizations in carrying out the pro-
ject, which is designed to eliminate
the middlemen and end speculation
These terminals are to be in Kansas
City, Chicago, Buffalo and st. Louis.
The financial system advocated by
the delegates provides for a national
union of farm loan associations. The
resolution covering this project stated
1000 farm loan bodis at present have
no opportunity of getting proper repre-
sentation at Washington, and charged
that the policy of the Federal Farm
Loan Board has been to discourage at
tempts by the Association to form
State declarations.

URGE GREATER CARE TO
PREVENT FARM FIRE LOSSES

The Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture is aiding other agencies of
the State government in calling to the
attention of the farmers, the need for
greater precautions against fire losses
to the farms. There is an annual loss
of $90,000000 in Pennsylvania, outside
Of Philadelphia. and Pittsburg and d
large percentage of this loss occurs
on the farms.
With the advent of the automobile,
tractor, gas engine and lighting plant
there is scarcely farm where the
handling of gasoline and other highly
volatile matters is not a daily occur
renee, yet investigations have shown
that on the average farm little or no
precautins are taken. Fire-proof tanks
for the storage of gasoline and the
exercising of ordinary care in handling
the fluid are almost unknown.
Farm buildings erected even as high
as twenty-five years ago, under pres
ent conditions are worth much more
than when erected, while in most cases
the insurance carried would cover only
fraction of the cost of replacing the
buildings. In addition there is the
great economic fact that food stuffs
destroyed by fire, cannot be replaced
by all the money in the world.

Big Pail for Carry

While radium is not regarded as an
article for common consumption 1t fire.
quently happens that it must be car
ried from one point to another and on
account of it's remarkable and power
full properties it musa be carefully pro-
tected. The quantity ordinarily made
use of is very small indeed hardly
larger than a pllet. It is so tiny that
it could be very readily lost and should
it once get away from its custodian it
would be very difficult thing to re-
cover. 1t would be equivalent to the
proverbial hunt for the needle in the
haystack. And should it fall into the
hands of some ignorant of its proper
ties the damage done before its char
acter was revaled might be irrepar-
able. For the purpose of transporta-
ton the radium is placed in a hole in
the center of thick lead crucible.
Why lead? Because lead does not per-

of the transportation of the substance

Farmers Warned of
Gasoline Danger

Pottstown, Pa.-Farmers through
out Pennsylvania have been warned
by the State Department of Agricul-
ture against carelessness in the hand
ling of gasoline in barns and garages.
According to statistics gathered by the
department, many of the fires which
have resulted in the destruction of
barns and outbuildings throughout the
State can be traced to this cause. In
addition to the loss on the loss on
the buildings, which at prevailing
costs of construction cannot be re-
placed except at decided advance
above the original outlay, even where
the destroyed buildings were erected
twenty-five years ago, there must be
considered the enormous loss on farm
products stored in the buildings as
we'll as on farm machinery and nipple
ments. Proper precautions in hand
ling gasoline will reduce this loss, it is
said, and as result farmers are urged
to exercise the greatest care in hand
ling fuel of this kind
Among the precautions recommend
ed by those who have made surveys
of the conditions on the farms and the
methods generally employed by farm
ers in storing their motor cars and
tractor engines are several which acy
farmer can comply with at no addl-
tional expense.
1t is recommended among other
things, that gasoline be stored in tanks
which in turn are protected by being
incased in small concrete receptacles.
The latter can be constructed at a
nominal cost, and if placed at q safe
distance from barns and other build
ings case to be a menace.
Urge Buying in Quantity
Another recommendation is that
gasoline be bought in sufficiently large
quantities to make it worth while
maintaining an independent unit of
this kind. 1t has been found that
many farmers buy their gasoline in
quantities just sufficient to meet the
demands of the immediate future. AS

uncertain light.
On another occasion we were not so
fortunate. l had been to a picnic
luncheon with some friends, in glade
near the lovely valley of Jujiar. We
walked back, having our palanquins
carried behind us; and when dusk be-
gan to fall, we put the dogs, which
had accompanied us into the palan-
| quins, KNOWN git was no longer safe
for them to run by our side.
At length one lady became tired and
called for her palanquin 1t was
brought, and set down for her to enter.
AS it touched the ground, the little
dog pumped out to welcome his mis-
tress but in a momnt his gambols
| were cut short.
Like a fash. a great creature sprang
into the road, and swapping up poor
little Prim, vanished with the rapidity
Of thought down the steep hillside.
We felt thunderstruck, and stood for
some moments in Mortified silence,
gazing into the bushes where the Gid
ing form had disappeared; but nothing
| was to be seen or heard.
The elastic tread of the leopard left
no sign or track, and so noiselessly had
it passed, that we could not tell whe-
Their it had slipped at once to the bot
tom of the ravine, or whether it was
then lying only few feet below us,
hidden in the brushwood.
Little PR mmust have been killed by
the first clutch of the cruel claws, for
he never uttered single cry. We hur-
ried Monochrome, grieving much over
the dreadful fate, and the gentlemen
Of the party Immediately returned to
the spot with their rifles and heaters,
| but nothing then was seen of the
| leopard.
Shooting parties were frequently or
ganized about this time, but they were
not often successful, owing to the
| dnse jungle that covered the slope and
the impossibility of following the
quarry, even when sighted.
The best chanel was for solitary
sportsman to spend a night in tree;
but the leopards, though bold in seek
| ing their prey under safe circumstan-
ces, were extremely cautious when
dangr was at hand and would gener-
ally leave the abit untouched near
which their unseen enemy lurked.
Traps, too, were placed on low spur
towards Bukloh, which they were
known to frequent, but very few were
caught there that year.

Millions of bushels of grain, fruit
and vegetables and big tonnage of
cotton were lost to American farmers
last year by plant diseases, according
to figures compiled by the plant dis
ease survey of the Department of Ag-
riculture. The survey said that the
statistics indicate that lack of prompt
application of known measures of con-
troll was largely the cause of the loss
The plant disease survey estimated
the losses as 112,00O,OOO bushels of
What, 100000 bushels of oats, 3d.
100000 bushels of corn, 100000 of

Careful handling of vegetables and
fruits in preparation for winter stor-
age is important, according to the
Ohio station. Even slight bruises on
fruit will give entrance to organisms
causing decay. Temporary storage out
of doors in cool shed is desirable
while the cellar is being prepared to
receive the fruit. Ventilating the
easements on cool nights lowers the
temperature. Protection against the
effects of freezing weather may be
made by covering the farm storage
walls with leaves straw or fodder. A
temperature of SO degrees is regarded
best for vegetables in storage. Some
vegetables will endure light frosts, but
should not be handled when frozen.
