PENNSYLVANIA TO
GROW NEW TIMBER

Washington, D. c.. June 21.-The
purchase of 74,025 acres of land to
form the nucleus of the new Ale
gheyn National Forest in Pennsylva-
MIA has just been authorized by the
National Forest Reservation Commits
sion. Twenty-seven tracts of cut
over and burned lands. on the head

counties, were contracted for at an
average price of $2.75 per acre.

of the state and nation. supplement
ing in this way the forests which the
state itself is acquiring and putting
under management. Because of its
enormous industrial needs Pennsylva-
MIA ranks among the first in it's tim
Der requirements. Four-fifths of the
lumber used by its industries and
people is now produced outside it's
borders. For this reason the people
of Pennsylvania are vitality concerned
in the upbuilding of productive for
ests both in their own and in other
states.
"There are in the United States
8O,000,000 acres of at-one-time forest
land now cut-over, badly burned, I'M
productive and contributing nothing
TO the timber supply of the country.
In addition to being idle, these lands
tend to augment seriously the flood
situation of our great rivers. This
condition makes it important for the
government to acquire as soon as
possible such portions of this land
as most urgently require protection
and art valuable as sources of future
timber supply. With a view to meet
ing this condition the commission has
recently recommended an appropria-
ton of $2,000.000 for the fiscal year
1924 for further purchases"

COMPETING WITH
LOW WAGE NATION

The products of American workers
can compete in the markets of the
world, regardless of high wages, Dr.
Julius Klein, director Of the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce,
told a subcommittee of the House
Committee on Appropriations.
DR.. Klein said the high cost of
labor in the United States had "rela-
lively little effect on the ability of
American business men to compete
with foreign producers in outside
markets.
"That high cost" said DR.. Klein,
''is simply the item of high wages,
and not high cost. Let me illustrate
that, for example, with the coal trade.
The wages paid our coal miners are
far higher than those paid British
coal miners, and yet, under normal
circumstances, eliminating the last
few weeks when quantities of coal
have been dumped abroad by the
British under rather peculiar cir
cumstances-under normal circum-
stances our coal can be put f. 0. b.
Norfolk at a lower cost than coal
can be put on board ship at Cardiff.
The reason for that. first of all, is
the far greater productive capacity
Of our workmen. a far more advanced
industrial technique by the American
mining and handling companies in
machinery for keeping the mines dry,
pumping apparatus, lifting and hoist
ing. mechanical devices, and devices
for delivering coal on board ship anC
so forth
ANY one going into a rolling mill
in Pittsburgh and then visiting the
big German plants at Essen or the
big British plants is Impressed, first
Of all, in the American plants with
the fact that few men are in sight,
whereas in the British and German
plants large numbers are seen all
over.
In other words, the labor cost
per unit Of product, not necessarily
the wages, but the labor cost per
unit OF product, whether it is a ton
of Goa a ton of steel, or a yard of
goods, is not necessarily to our dis
advantage, because Of the superior
industrial technique in our plants"
"Then take it you do not fear
very much the pauper wages of Eu-
rope said Congressman Griffin.
81 think the danger to our export
trade from that direction is exag-
gerated" replied Dr. Klein. at is,
of coulae. an item well worth con-
sidering, and we should make sure to
compare not only the wages but the
cost of goods per unit. We should
also be very sure that in any such
compari ons we are considering the
same or similar articles"
DIR. Klein made the interesting
statement that Germany's manufac-
turing Industries are being restored
"Only very gradually" and not as
rapidly as is generally supposed. DIR.
Klein stated that "she is resorting to
very considerable artificial stimu-
lus a variety of indirect official aids
to trade, such as low taxes and very
low freight rates on the government
railways Of Germany"

SPRAYING WITH KEROSENE
REMEDY AGAINST LAWN ANTS

To get rid of lawn ants entomolo-
gists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture suggests drench-
ing the nests with boiling water or
pouring in small quantity of kero-
sene oil. Similar treatment may be
applied to nests between or beneath
paving stones. Spraying the lawn
with kerosene emulsion or with very
strong soap wash is also recon-
mended. For large ant nests disul-
phid of carbon injected into the nest
by means of an oil can or a small
syringe is recommended to kill the
ants. The fumes of disulphid of car
Don have a very disagreeable odor
and are inflammable, but they are
not injurious to higher animals in
the open air.

MINNESOTA COOPERATORS
SAVE TWO MILLION DOLLARS

The Minnesota State Department
of Agriculture has compiled figures
which show that the 5000 cooperative
associations in that state saved their
members at least S2,045, 753 during
the past year. exclusive Of all ex-
penses. These figures are based on
complete returns from 43 out Of n
counties in the state. The saving
will doubtless be much larger when
complete returns are announced
This saving of S2.000,000 repre-
sents the difference between success
and bankruptcy for a great many
farmer cooperators. and points out
the path that other farmers must
follow if they are to secure economic
emancipation.

INVENTION THE MASTER
KEY TO CIVILIZATION

Shall we be very far wrong IL we
place the inventor at the top Of the
list Of men and things that have made
the civilization of today what it is?
Personally, we do not for one moment
hesitate to do so. And this does not
mean that we fail to recognize how
much humanity owes to science, medi-
cine, philosophy, finance, morals, and
religion, which, 10y utilizing the works
Of the inventor, have made them con-
duce as much to the mental and moral
as to the physical well-being of man
kind
Let your thoughts travel back to
pre- historic times, to the day when
man, possessing only the faintest glim-
merings Of intellect, had little more
than hand and foot and teeth with
which to compete with the beasts Of
the forest. most Ct which had more of
speed and strength and cunning than
he. What was it that started him on
his upward climb to superiority but
the use Of his dawning intellect in the
invention of weapons with which to
turn this unequal conflict in his favor?
One of the earliest great inventions,
If not the very first, took place when

Thereby did invention overcome brute
strength; and thenceforth, by similar
applications OF reasoned thought to
the substance and properties OF things
has man progressed in building up
the complex and altogether marvellous
civilization of our day.
If the Importance of a man IS to be
judged by the extent and duration OF
his achievements, 1t cannot he denied
