EXPERIMENTS MADE

The Southern Forest Experiment
station has just started some expert
ments on the Choctawhatchee division
Of the FLORIDA National Forest near
Valparaiso, according to Director r.
D. Forbes and Lenthall Wyman, Of the
station staff. who passed through PEN
sacola Wednesday on their way back
to New Orleans. the headquarters for
the station. Supervisor w. f. Hill
and deputy e. r. Mckee are cooper
ating in the work.
The work started is designed TO an
swer the question: Under what condi-
lions does pine mass get started, and
where do the little trees survive best?
This is a very important point TO be
settled as it determines how lands
have been cut over for say logs and
ties can be reforested naturally.
Method of Experimentation
Incidently the effect of repeated
fires, occasional fires and absolute
protection from fires on the trees
growth, will be ascertained as some of
the areas are burned annually, some
every year after, the seedlings have
been protected for three years follow
ing termination. while some viii never
be burned
Certain areas are fenced also to ex-
clude grazing and thereby determine
the effect or running stock on land
just coming in TO young pines. All
seedlings of small areas are counted
and accurately marked on maps;
counts win be made annually or at
frequent intervals to see under what
conditions they survive and where they
die.
Mr. wyman has also laid plans for a
continuance of the investigations in
naval stores which are being carried
on in the National Forest. Wide and
narrow faces are being compared and
quarter section of timber has been
turpentined according to the French
standard system. A report on the
French system will be made very

UNIQUE MANNER
TO HIDE HO0CH
Huge Glass Container is Deity Con-

Pumped Out.

Peddlers of the vile and poisonous
beverage commonly known as hooch
have been Ingenious enough TO device
many ways Of conceeling 1t from the
ca gle eyed officers of the law, but the
scheme that Sheriff Eslis and his
deputies unearthed Wednesday night
is strikingly out Of the ordinary.
The sheriff got a Tip" that liquor
was being concealed at 125 East
Wright street where Louis DIeble keeps
a furniture store. In the back of the
store alongside the wall was a bench
Deity hidden beneath the floor was
a Is gallon glass container, and the
foot of the bench leg rested directly
over the hole through which the liquor
was drawn by means OF an ordinary
oil pump. The pump was found nearby.
The floor was torn. up mad the huge
container removed. 1t contained three
gallons Of hooch, and evidently had
been in use for a considerable length
OF time, as the sediment and dregs that
had settled on the bottom would have
filled an ordinary teacup.
Come right in an search all you
want to-, Is what Dleble said when the
officers entered, according to Sheriff
Ellis.
And when the sheriff walked directly
to the bench leg and kicked It to one
side and removed the liquor, Dieble
disciaimed any knowledge OF it what
ever, asserting that It did not belong
to him.
However, he was arrested and re-
CURED to give bond for his appearance
at trial on charge of violating the
prohibition law.
