Pay Of the Foresters.
A Plea for Higher Salaries for Men
Doing Valuable Work.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: In an edi-
torial article commenting on Secretary
Meredith's report to the Senate on the
Capper resolution you said: The ma
tional forests and the National Forest
Service are an example and inspiration
to the whole country" That statement
has been widely quoted throughout the
Forest Service and has been the source
Of satisfaction to all fits members.
It IL doubtful IL any organization in
tho country has a greater esprit de
corps than the Forest Service. nor is
there any Government organization en-
gagged in work Of greater public ben
eft. Has THE New YORK HERALD. how
ever. an idea of the difficulties which
the service is encountering in its ef-
forts to maintain the example and in
spiration referred to?
For years the personnel Of the Forest
Service has been confronted with inade-
quate salaries and high living expenses.
Many of it's trained members have been
compelled to seek other employment in
order to make both ends meet The
agricultural appropriation bill for the
fiscal year 1922 Is now before Congress.
and the Secretary of Agriculture has
strongly emphasized the need Of ade-
quate salaries II the organization Is not
to be wrecked and the country made to
suffer In consequence.
There Is probably not one member In
ten Of the Forest Service who Is not
whole heartedly in favor Of economy in
Government expenditures and who does
not recognize the urgent need Of keeping
within reasonable limits
and the more urgent need Of a Federal
budget system. There Is, however. such
a thing as false economy. and this is
especially applicable to the comparatively
small appropriation needed by the Forest
Service. An appropriation adequate to
maintain the service should be made.

Reminders.

A blue day comes in the winter time,
A golden day from another cline.
And think of one in whose eyes 1 mark
A vital something undimmed OF dark.
A green blade conquers the Icy thrall
Before its fellows have heard the call,
And I think Of one who has kept the
Spring
Safe under the crust Of everything.
A birds song rings on the wintry air
And think of one who has flung mis-
chance
A clear note challenging circumstance.

Omar's Seven Seas.

To THE NEW York HERALD: II Kip
ling took his seven seas from Omar
Khayyam he gave the expression a
wholly different meaning. since Omar in
the twelfth century could know nothing
of the earth's great water envelope and
its modern conventional division into
seven parts.
There Is but one ocean. and the Per-
sian poet and astronomer clearly had
in mind the seas of which the ancient
world recognized seven.

Needed Food Is Wasted.
A Task for Philanthropy on the
Farms and the Railroads.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD Increased
production on farms Is needed to feed
starving millions in other lands and to
be Increased production until some
straight, honest course is taken to help
the farmer.
For two. three. four years strawber-
ries have sold In our city markets at
almost prohibitive prices Yet crates of
Strawberries by hundreds have been left
on the piers and at railroad stations to
rot. The producers gladly would have
accepted five cents quart for them. but
1t was more profitable for dealers to
handle a few crates at unreasonably
high prices than large quantities at fair
prices. Thereby discouraging loss was
caused to the producer. and the moder-
ate wage earner's family had to go with
out strawberries.
Who OF what is to blame for this sys-
tenn when production Is vitally neces-
sary? Is 1t our transportation facilities
or individual proflteers?
Last fall my son had occasion to drive
several times through the apple district
after orchard loaded down with fine
apples. He asked why these wonderful
apples were allowed to fr~eze on the
trees. The invariable answer was TN
the first place could not get any help
to pick them I'm the second place could
not sell them for enough to pay for the
picking"
