GREAT REDUCTION
IN USE OF OATS
Expert Figures That Use of Motor Cars
Cuts Farmers Income
$50 600 600

CHICAGO. Dec. 27-American farm
ers are losing approximately $50, 000, 600
year on their oats crop and probably "a
like amount on their hay crops through
the use of automobiles. motor trucks and
tractors which have largely supplanted
the use of horses in the cities. according
to Robert McDougal. president of the
Chicago board of trade in analyZing the
effect OF motorized hauling on the horse
and grain market. Mr.. McDougal be-
Heves, MOVIE, Cg. tac pendulum Is swing
ing the other way pointing out that the
prices ON good draft horses are adyanc
ing.
In 1910, there were 100000 horses
in the cities said Mr. McDougal, while
in 1920 there was a tritie more than half
that number. Most city horses are fed
upon oats and hay. Oats prices recently
averaged 65 cents below wheat prices,
whereas before we began using gasoline
they averaged 81 cents below wheat. This
is a loss of three cents per bushel, which
based upon an average crop of one bill
lion bushels nets the farmer Il tidy loss
There is no doubt the big power trac-
tor has reached the saturation point. In
many farming sections high-powered trac-
tors were bought by small size farmers.
1t was q disastrous venture for many. In
the cities many businesses turned their
backs upon the horse for short hauls with
frequent stops. Today the farmer Is feed
ing a yard of colts and the horse is COM
ing into his OWE for short haulS.
The horse viii never come back to his
old place in the city. but he is going to
be sure of an important place in moving
several varieties of commodities.

BASTROP, La, Dec. 27.-There was
an air of expectancy here and at Mer
Rouge today as department of justice
agents and representatives of the state
government renewed their investigation
Of the Morehouse parish kidnappings.
They widened their efforts to run down
the persons responsible for the dynamit-

bodies of two men identified as Watt
Daniels and Thomas Richards, abducted
by masked mob last August. 1t was
declared additional arrests We're immi-

Secret service men were reported to
have discovered the place where the
dynamite. said to have been 1900
pounds, was sold, and some of the men
suspected Of being implicated in the
dynamiting were under surveillance.
The arrest in Baltimore yesterday of
DIR. Il. NJ. Mckoin, former mayor OF Mer
Rouge, at the request of Governor John
NJ. Parker, caused considerable excite
ment here.
Morehouse parish and the town of
Batrop which are in the limelight be-
cause of the kidnapping and killing of
Daniels and Richards have an interest
ing story.
According to booklet published Il few
years ago by a resident of Mer Rouge the
town and parish got their names from 4
kentuckian and Spanish nobleman.
In 1906, when Spain owned what is
now the state of Louisiana, Spaniard
Baron De Bastrop, was said to have OBJ
tanned from Spain a contract to the eff

To help in the fulfillment of this con-
tract Baron De Bastrop is credited with
having enlisted the services of Abraham
Morehouse, a hentuckian In turn Mr.
AIorehouse is said to have arranged with
Captain Josiah Davenport, a native of
Rhode Island. TO assist him in the
colonization work
Settlers were brought from other sec
lions of the United States To develop the
country. The parish was created by an
act of the legislature in 18Th and shortly
thereafter the parish seat was established
at two cross roads 1t was decided to
name the parish ''Morehouse" in honor
of Abraham MorehOuse, while the parish
seat was named ''BastrOp' in honor of
Baron De BaStrov.

BOSTON, Dc. 27.-Based upon pres
ent stands and rate of growth and pres
ent rate of depletion, the forests of New
England will be cut in a period of 81
years, r. c. Bryant, professor of 1uni-
bering at Yale school Of forestry, said in
an address today before the New Eng

Can New England afford to freeze
cut of its midst industries the value of
whose manufactured products annually
aggregates nearly one ibillion dollars.
whose capital investment is $500. OO0,-
GOO or more and which give employment
TO nearly 100000 people?" he asked.
We have in New England a per
capita forest area of 81 acres. which is
greater than that of any of the European
countries except Finland Russia. Nor
way and Sweden. On this land we are
producing per acre less than 40 board
feet of saw timber. while to make our
forests meet our needs for saw timber
II viii be necessary to produce about
100 board feet per acre annually.
This will require a heavy investment.
but we are already making greater one
in transportation. for today we import
nearly 900. 100000 board feet from the
South and Far West New England is
today annually investing in transporta-
ton to bring in her deficit of lumber at
least 81 100000. a sum which would re-
forest the 100000 acres of denuded
land in her borders within a period of
16 years.
Speaking on New England Forests
in Retrospect Austin F. Halves, state
forester of Connecticut said:
In the course of the three centuries
that have passed lsince 1920, the virgin
forests has been reduced from % per
cent TO ; per cent of the total area of
New England Most of the area has
been either severely culled. or has been
cut clean and is now covered with inn
mature second growth. Never in the
history Of New England has there been
as much waste land as at present. and
never has there been so great a need for
the systematic raising Of timber
