SIN a large majority Of our
rural school districts there is more
than twice this area Of idle land
which could be used for forestry
purpose. Such a forest can be es-
tablished by planting one to one
and q half acres of land to young
trees each year for period of 40
wears. All the work of planting
in a proportion Of this size could
be done by school children in con-
neotion with their Arbor Day ex.
ercises.
ut is not necessary that com.
munal forests be started by the
planting of trees. In most local,
tiles, woodlands can be purchas-
ed at a low figure, which are al
ready fairly well stocked with
second growth and may also con-
tain a considerable number Of
merchant trees which are suited
for fuel or other purposes. In &C.
quiring such areas, therefore, the
municipality mightbe able to se'
cure enough revenue from the ad
ministration of the forest to pay
the cost of operating it. At the
same time, new trees should be
introduced, in order to fill up al
available ground and thus secure
a completely stocked stand.
"Land which has been complete
|ly denaded of timber can be re
turned to forest production b!

Weeks Sees Ideal Staff
in Army Reorganization

Washington. Aug 17.-Reorganiza-
ton Of the army general staff to con-
form with that set up at American
headquarters in France Will give the
United States the best staff the army
ever had" in The opinion Of Secretary
Weeks and General Pershing. The
great advantage of the new system
they both pointed out today when or
ders effecting the reorganization were
issued, would be the facilities with
which it could be merged into war
machine without necessity for CHANGES
either in the war department or in the
field.
Hitherto the war department GEN
erai staff has been constituted as n
single indivislble unit" Gen. Pershin Q.
said and the principle has never been
recognized that in the event Of war one
portion OF the control must take the
field prepared to assist the command
ing general while another portion
must remain in the warsdepartment
prepared to conduct the equally i'm
poTtant operations connected with the
mobilization of men and materials.
rms new organization contemplates
that the chief q staff will be charged
with the larger problems connected
with the organization and training OF
the army. and that portions of his
STAN VIII be charged with the prepa-
ration of plans for actual field oper-
atoms and, upon the outbreak Of war
will expand and take the field as the
general staff at general headouar-
ters.'
