TWENTY-FOUR STATES, more, will receive
100000 of Federal funds for the protection of
u their forest lands from fires during the fiscal
year beginning July according statement by the
Forest Service of the United States Department of
Agriculture This cooperation was first authorized
by the act of March /, 1911, commonly known the
Weeks Law" and has continued since. Last
year $I2s,ooo appropriated for the work, but

prevention in forests substantially increased the

to the water an unpleasant TASTE which everybody
promptly blamed the chlorination.
The mayor bent beneath the storm OF protest
By his order the dosage" OF chlorine was reduced
and during the ensuing nine years it has never been
high enough the report says, to fully couneract the
ever-present pollution in the water.
The typhoid bacillus in drinking water is very
difficult to find by laboratory methods, but the hnd
ing of sewage pollution is always considered as
warning OF its possible presence. ......
In 1918 in the effort to better conditions htra-
ton plant was put into service at the larger pump
ing station which handles nearly threeourths OF the
city consumption. Laboratory tests, however, show
that sewage pollution is present in the unhtered
water in the city mains nearly half the time and in
the filtered water from to ~ per cent OF the time
In 1918 and in 1920 when these tests showed the
water to be badly polluted the number OF cases OF
typhoid fever in the city that could not be traced to
any cause other than the water was double those
that occurred in 1919, when the tests showed the
water to be much better From this the report argues
that the pollution OF the water and the amount OF
typhoid fever are directly related; and that when
the pollution is reduced a minimum, as the report
says that it can be by existing facilities, typhoid
fever in the city will be very greatly reduced
1t should be added that the engineer of the wa
ter division of the city, man whose experience the
report comedies to be large finds himself unable to
admit that the untraced part of the rise OF typhoid
in Cleveland in the summer is due to water pollution

More Milk Used.

Part of the program of recent milk campaign
in Hampden County, Mass, was to secure the inter-
est of the labor unors and industrial groups IN in
creasing the consumption of milk.
Talks on the value of milk in the diet were given
before forty different local unions by the county home
demonstration agent, comparatively employed by the
State Agricultural College and the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Although there is no dehn-
ite way of learning just how many laboring men
were convinced that they and their families should
use more milk, there indication that the ac-
tivity was worth while. The who were reached
varied from the unsked laborer such as coal beavers
and street cleaners. to highly skilled craftsmen, and
included many nationalities.
One interesting and direct result of the work
with factory group the installation of daily
milk service Milk was delivered twice day-at 10
a. M and p. m.-by a local retailer and sold to the
employees at cost The growth of this service has
been astonishing Starting with half-pint bottles.
the number has steadily increased to gas day. The
manager of the factory states that the installation OF
the milk service has already produced results which
show conclusvey that suitable food served un-
der proper conditions results in better application and
greater production in an industry

Boil Weevil Control.

The rapid expansion of weevil poisoning through
the Southern States has made necessary the es-
tabshment of a number of field stations by the
Bureau of Entomology, United States Department of
Agriculture throughout the weevilinested territory
These have been located to serve wide range of
districts as possible, and with special reference to
securing points representative Of the most important
variations in local conditions which have direct
bearing weevil poisoning. Usually two more
men are connected with each station, of whom
will be engaged Jpn research work to determine the
most efficient methods of poisoning the weevil under
conditions represented by that station. The other
will be engaged in surveying weevl and cotton con-
ditions throughout the surrounding district and, in
connection with this work. will be available to assist
and advise all farmers who poisoning 1t is the
intention of the Department of Agriculture to try to
reach every individual farmer who is poisoning and
assist him in planning his campaign, assembling and
starting his dustng machines, etc.

New Forest Station.

NEW forest station. the first in the Eastern
~ States will be established at Asheville. ~ c,
shortly after July by the Forest Service
of the United States Department of Agriculture.
Steady depletion Of the Southern Appalachian timber
supply has been responsible for the location OF this
station in the East, and the object Of the work to be
conducted will be to the information needed
by foresers determine the best methods OF hand
ling forest lands in the Southern mountains.
For many years the United States has depended
for large part of its hardwood timber products
North Carolina Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky.
Tennessee Alabama. Georgia and South Carolina,
states the Forest Service. The crest Of hardwood
production in this region, with cut OF approximate
ly 4oooooo,ooo feet reached in 1909. BY 1918
the production had fallen off nearly 90 per cent, in
the face Of rising lumber prices and increasing de-
mands. There is every reason to expect the same
trend to continue, owing to the steady decrease IN
timber supplies. This involves of our most inn
portant hardwood forest regions and many important
dependent wood-usng industries, including railroads
The country as a whole will, in the future, have
to depend the steep mountain slopes of the South
ern Appalachans for very large percentage OF its
high grade hardwood supplies. The bulk OF the re-
naming hardwood stands is now IN the Lower Miss
issippi Valley, and it is practically certain that
large part of this rich bottom land will be used for
agricultural purpose when the timber is removed
The entire country should therefore be directly in
terested in bringing about the growing of hardwood
timber in this region where ideal conditions exist
for its production.
The general timber situation in the United States
is exceedingly serious foresters say. Something like
-fths of original timber stand has been de-
stroyed or utilized, and apprecabe percentage OF
the remaining two-6fths is made up of inferior Sec
ond growth One-half of the timber we have left is
in the three Pacific Coast States-Washington, Ore
gon and Cafornia-while 90 per cent of our timber
markets lie east of the Rockies, and very large
part of that 90 per of the Mississippi River
Excessive prices for lumber, pulp paper and pract-
cay all wood products have resulted from this stu-
alton. .-f
The Appalachian forest experiment station will
have to deal with the problems of forest area ap-
proxmately equal to twice that Of prewar Germany.

of valuable species of trees, including ten or more

known, no foreign equivalents yellow poplar, bass
