BERRIES AND FOREST FIRES.

The United States forest service re-
ports new method of spreading the doc
trine of forest protection. In the Nat
ural Bridge National forest in Virginia
there are quantities of wild huckleber-
ries, dewberries and blackberries. This
year frosts spoiled the cultivated fruit
crop and the local inhabitants have de-
velOped an unusual interest in the Wild
berries of the mountains.
The forest supervisor was surprised
one day by a request for a permit to pick
berries on government land. Such a re-
spect for authority is not to be lightly
treated After a little earnest cogitation
he decided to give the wOuld-be berry
picker a hunting and fishing permit
with gather berries" clause added.
The first permittee was followed by
whole stream of others. The habit of
asking for a license spread through the
section and every member of every fam
lily was seized with a desire to have IL
cense of his or her own. Since the hunt
ing and fishing license contains a clause
requiring that the holder report all for
est fires and assist in suppressing such
fires as may occur within radius of
five miles from the point where he is
hunting" the good work of scouting for
forest fires and of following all precau-
tions is being carried on as never before
in that region.
This is not yet the fire season, says
the supervisor. but the idea of fire pro-
lection is being generally and generously
scattered among the people, and its eff
fects are sure to be lasting and benefi-
cial

NOT ENOUGH CHICKENS.

City folk who move TO the country
and most of them want to but won't adj
NIT always want to keep chickens.
1t seems easy, it promises to be profit
able, and anyhow there is something fas-
cinating in the idea, to women as to men.
Under the circumstances, then, the
United States chicken census of last
year, report of which is just available,
possesses sentimental as well as business
interest.
Well, there were 800, 537 $50 chickens
on farms in the United States on Janu-
airy 1, 1920 as against 2S0, 340,957 chick
ems three months old or over on April 10,
1910. In as much as many chickens are
slaughtered and marketed each year be-
tween January 1 and April Is, compari-
son is difficult. The actual increase if
there was any probably corresponds with
that in egg production--5.2 per cent. In
actuality the growth of fowl population
does not keep pace with that. of human
beings. No wonder eggs and fried
chicken come high.
Iowa leads, with 27,746,51O, with Hi
nois, Missouri, Ohio, and Texas not far
behind. 1t isn't. nearly enough The
more there are on farms and the fewer
on city pavements the better off we all
viii be.

SHORT POTATO CROP.
Decrease in Supply Can BE Met by Rice
as Substitute.


as a Substitute.
The prospective shortage of the potato
crop makes possible a good demand for
the rice crop as substitute for potatoes.
Rice can be made to meet the shortage.
suggests the bureau of markets and crop
estimates, United States department of
agriculture. The prospective crop of
333 100000 bushels of rough rice is equal
to 931 100000 pounds of cleaned rice
and to this must be added comparatively
large stocks derived from the extraordi-
narily large crop of 1920. Cuba, also,
which usually receives large imports of
rice from this and other countries, has
stocks of this cereal that are greater than
the ordinary ones.
Consumption of foods was affected va
riously by the requirements of armies and
navies during the war and by the course
of prices since the war began, and a per
capita conumption of such foods in the
near future can perhaps be better esti-
mated if based on the more steady cOndi-
tons that preceded the war than on the
erratic ones that followed them. At the
per capita consumption of seven pounds
of rice in the United States in 1905-1914
/ for all purposes before the war. the pop
nlation this year would require $780,
100000 pounds, or III 600, 900 pounds less
/ than this years crop alone, to say nothing
of unusual stocks. There are. however.
! ways of disposing of the surplus besides
| finding export markets or piling up do
nestle stocks.
When the potato crop is short, rice is
an acceptable substitute food. and one
! that may naturally be drawn upon partly
to counterbalance the potato deficiency.
| The forecast of the potato crop of this
year. made for August l. is only 100000
, 600 bushels, while the consumption. at the
per capita rate of 3.S bushels for 1906
1914, for all purposes. would be 412. 800
900 bushels, SO that the prospective de
! ficiency. apart from such imports as may
be made. is 96.500,000 bushels The i'm.
ports of potatoes have never equaled
100000 bushels in one year. Rice NAV
naturally help to fill this void of approx.
imately 100,000,000 bushels Of potatoes in
the food supply.
1t has been noticed. also. that wheat is
to some extent a substitute for potatoes in
Z food economy, when their price is high
The expected wheat surplus of this coun.
try has dwindled as the season has adj
Ivanced. The official estimate of produc
7 ton was reduced by more than 10000. DOC
bushels of this future surplus wheat dur
ing July. and, at the per capita consump
ton of GIL bushels for 1905-1914 for al
purposes, the remaining crop, as forecast
for August /, provides an export OF
lS3,OO0.OO0 bushels under average foot
conditions. Part of this may be taken as
a substitute for potatoes. if price permits
At any rate, the clements of the situa
ton invite a larger rice and wheat con
sumption than usual during the crop veal
1921-1922, to be determined by relative
prices.

There is fever in the air
That poisons blood and brain.

so in the case of his son and heir, the

will come to the throne with the advan-
tage of a personal knowledge of other
countries gained by his present tour of

emperor was largely screened from the
