DISAPPEARING EoREsrs

In the annual report Of w. y.
Greeley, chief forester Of the United
States, emphasis is laid upon two facts
that demand the attention Of the en-
tire country one Is that three-hfths
Of the virgin forests Of the United
states have been cut and so have dis
appeared, and the other Is that the
country's annual demand for timber
is four times as large as its annual
production Attention Is called also
to the immense tracts Of burned-oyer,
denuded and utterly Improbable for
est lands that should be reclaimed
and devoted to useful purposes. To
meet the situation Colonel Greeley rec
ommends federal legislation which. he
says. should recognize the principle
that, because Of the foresight neces-
sarp TO meet future national needs,
the pnbllc's interest In the forest lands
IS comparable TO It's interest IN the
proper handling Of a public utility,
and the further principle that since
the production Of timber is an eco
monte process the requirements i'm
posed by the public on owners Of for
ests must be equitable and practicable
from business point Of view. Bad
as Colonel Greeley's report shows the
nations timber situation to be, II re-
veas little that IS new. The encour-
aging feature is that the public and
the public's representatives are com
ing to recognize the seriousness Of the
situation and that in congress as well
as in various state legislatures active
measures Of Improvement are under
consideration. For scientific, cconom
&c and all other reasons the public
must hope that the wlsest Of these
measures speedily Will be put il
force.

Music lovers with an aversion for
Jazz were recently alarmed to hear
from Italy that one Of the modernlst
composers had engaged an inventor to
make group Of new instruments to
increase the resources Of the conyen-
tlonal orchestra Of strings, percussion,
brass and bells. The result was a
dozen or more devices to make strange
sounds, and the composer quickly set
to paper the notes of a tone poem that
would employ these new sounds Ears

who will have none Of them. With all
the present demand that the symphony
orchestra be enlarged to meet the Pc

that, 1t would seem that il would be
in order TO hold a conference Of must
clans with the object of determining
Just what constitutes a musical In

Mr.. Harding Gould Settle It


The bonus may not yet have been
beaten in Congress but it has been
beaten throughout the United States.
The country is against 1t and every
new expression Of public opinion is an
tagonistic,
Mr. Harding could easily win this
fight II he had the courage to take con-
troll and appeal to the American peo-
pie for support. He is needlessly
frightened at the political aspects Of
the situation
The enactment of bonus law is
going to be no help to his party in
the fall campaign. 1t Is safe to say
that larger per centage of the Repre-.
sentatiye5 who vote for it will be de.
feated than those who vote against it.
The country is not lacking in grat,s
tude toward its soldiers, but It refuses
to construe gratitude in terms Of raid
on the United States Treasury It will
gladly spend every dollar that is nee
essary to benefit the disabled and the
dependent 1t begrudges none Of the
$500 100000 a year that Congress is
aproprating for that purpose, but a
cash bonus to able bodied men who are
capable Of supporting themselves is a
different MATTER.
Officers Of the American Legion use
as one Of their arguments the fact that
many former service men are out Of
work The answer to that is a job,
not a bonus. If the American Legion
I had devoted half the time and energy
/ to finding work for soldiers that It has
devoted to bullying a bonus out of a
I coWardly Congress few Of its mem
bers would be unemployed. And az
for the bonus, 1t will solve none OF
their economic problems. Any increase
in taxation or any further derange
ment Of the countrys finances will
mean more men out Of work, not few
er, and the service men, in spite Of
their gratuity from the Treasury, VIII
suffer along with everybody else.

GUARDS WOOL FROM MOTHS
New Preparation Said to Preserve the
Fabric From Depredations
of the Pests.

A preparation has been discovered
in Europe which, it is claimed makes
wool immune from the ravages of
moths. 1t is in the form of a powder,
which, before it is applied, is mixed
in water with a small quantity of sui
phuric acid for all-wool goods, formic
acid being used for half-wool
The wool itself is said not to be
affected by the application, and only a
few colors, very slightly. In case no
alkalies are brought into contact with
1t the wool remains moth-proof when
washed. Tests made with two pieces
of wooden cloth exactly alike, in which
moth eggs were placed, resulted, in the
course of six months, in the entire dis
appearance of the untreated fabric,
whereas the wool which had been
treated remained intact.

CULTIVATE ALL FRUIT TREES
Just as Essential In Orchard as for

II Is Just as essential to cultivate

Sometimes the trees are plowed In the

cultivation Is concerned. An excep-
ton Is where n cultivated crop Is
growing between the trees, says d. c.

trees are young, cultivated row
crop may be grown between the trees
so long as 1t does not compete with
the trees for the same moisture and
plant food. Therefore, each year as
the trees grow, move the crop fur
Their away from the trees and when

The cultivation should begin In
March or early April and continue un-

cultivation should continue until tn,
last of the summer. After the first
