THE RESTLESS PERCENTAGE

1t is estimated that in one of the six
largest cities of the United States forty
two per cent of the population moves
during the year. The figures would not
be so high everywhere, but they point
to the need of more effective hometown
ership campaigns.
1t is in the big cities that most of the
unrest which disrupts a nation begins
the serious kind OF unrest which breeds
rioting and anarchy, unemployment and
a lack of respect for government. Home
ownership is the best antidote for all
this sort of thing. 1t is stabilizer
which breeds respect for property and
for law, more intense patriotism and a
desire to maintain established institu-
tons.
1T is to the little home towns that
America must look for real American
leadership" said Hanford McNider in
Fourth of July speech, and he is
right
The people of the little home towns"
are mostly home-owners whose ideals of
home love and permanency are the best
hope of any nation.

NEW FORESTS For OLD

Ohio is planning to develop 100000
acres of state forests and 100000 acres
of municipal forest starting with an
appropriation of 100000 That is GER
tainly a modest enough beginning,
when it is considered that Ohio had
2400o,0oO acres tof forests.
Taking account of its timber supply,
Ohio finds that less than 1900, 0090 900
board feet are left of the 170,000,0O0,-
600 board feet standing when the first
settlers came. The state is now using
more than ten times as much lumber as
it grows, and realizes that this cannot
continue long. because the states still
possessing more than enough timber for
their own use are being rapidly depleted.
And with depletion, the price of lumber
rises steadily.
Making a beginning at conservation
or renewal is the main thing. Several
of the older states in the East and Mid
die West have already started to replen-
ish their vanishing forests, and the ex-
ample is likely to be followed eventually
by every other state and by large num-
bers of cities. And it is safe to say that
the timber raised in those new public
forests viii not be wasted as the old
timber has been.

Spontaneous Combustion in Hay
Barre Times. !


The current number of the Washing
ton County Farm Bureau News gives
timely warning to farmers about the
danger of spontaneous combustion in
hay that is moved into a barn while in
a damp condition The farm contempor-
airy asserts that it is generally con-
ceded that there is such a thing as
spontaneous combustion in hay but de-
clares that the combustion viii not
take place in hay which carries Only
its own moisture, even if quite damp.
The combustion takes place, according
to this contemporary, in hay which is
nut into the barn when wet with dew
or rain; and hay, when curing, does
heat dangerously high" and should,
therefore. be left alone or treated to
keep it compact as the opening up Of
the hay admits more air and increases
the danger of fire. These are some val
liable points to be considered by farm
ers of Vermont who are now engaged
in the process of curing and storing
their 1922 crop of hay. especially in
view Of the fact that the having season
has been accompanied by great many
rainfalls. which soaked the cut grass.
No doubt the farm bureau agent at
Montpelier would be willing to take
up the matter more in detail should any
farmer desire added information regard
ing the danger from spontaneous com
bustion in hay.
