What will the Alaskans show us In
place OF the conventional props Of the
California motion picture director!
Agricultural reports out OF the Terri
tory inform us that during the sum-
mer Alaskan crops grow with lush
abandon. Almost before there is time
for the eye to follow there are two
blades of grass where there was one
before. Perhaps we shall see the
wheat shooting skyward, watch the
fruit visibly ripening on the tree. II
the Alaskan boosters are awake to
the full extent OF their opportunities
they should be able to work up a
conception of Alaska in the popular
mind closely approximating the hazy
perfection of the South Sea Islands.

Forest Development.
Secretary WALLACE of the Dep

Secretary WALLACE of the Depart
ment of Agriculture In his speech at
Cincinnati on Thursday called timber
a crop. That Is just what timber is;
it is one Of the most valuable Of our
crops and the slowest to mature,
and we have failed to treat 1t with
the intelligence and provision for the
future which have guided Us in the
production Of wheat, corn, cotton and
other important crops.
America grew up regarding timber
as one of its great natural resources,
like coal. 1t didn't seem possible that
the time would come when we should
be able to calculate about how many
more years the timber supply would
last. We thought Of timber as some
thing valuable which the forces Of
nature had left above ground for our
use, Just as other things as valuable
were found by digging into the
ground.
Secretary WALLACE In asking Con-
gress for forest experiment station
On the Great Lakes a few months ago
estimated that there was an area Of
land in the lakes region suitable for
timber and OF little value for any
other purpose which is equal in acre
age to all the forest land Of France.
More experiment stations, more re-
forestation, more cooperation Of pri-
vate owners with the Department Of
Agriculture-all these are urgently
necessary IL the forests are to be
saved.
