Crime ID Studied

We are gradually awakening to
the importance of handling the
prison question in afmore sensible
and scientific manner. I think
everybody will agree that the pris-
oner entering prison or reforma-
tory should be thoroughly exam

state, and II possible the causes
Of the crime for which he is i'm
prisoned ascertained through such
examination, and his treatment de-
termined accordingly.
I think we must all come to the
conclusion that men in prison are
not very different from those out
side, except that they have been
found guilty Of an offense for
which they have received term in
prison, and that with right treat
ment many Of them can be brought
back into a natural state so that
they can again be received into the
general community and In many
cases become good men and good
citizens.
There IL really not such a great
difference as Is generally supposed
between men in prison and men

CHORUS:
Barren Land Reiterated.


Over four thousand acres Of de-
nuded and treeless lands within the
National Forests of Colorado, Wy
oming, Nebraska Minnesota and
Michigan were reforested during
1921. About 500 acres on the
north slope of Pixies Peak were
planted. That region was devastat-
ed by FIRE sixty years ago, early
settlers claim, and nothing but scrub
growth has ever come in. This is
a portion of the Colorado Springs
watershed and residents of that city
are particularly interested in the
project because forested hillsides
mean purer water and more OF it,
at the time of year when most
needed.
Fifty acres were planted on an
old burn on the Holy Cross Forest
near the famous mountain of the
same name. The rangers on the
Gunnison Forest established num-
Der of experimental plots under
different conditions in the North
Fork of the Gunnison River in
order to determine the best methods
of reforesting this region. Years
ago this watershed had one of the
finest forests in the state, and old
settlers say that it was burned of,
even before their time, by the In
dams in order to improve the hunt
ing. Nothing now covers these
slopes but brush and aspen.
In Colorado. Engelmann spruce
and Douglas fir are the principal
trees that are planted, the last
named SPECIES being considered es-
pecially valuable for railroad ties
as we'll as lumber.
In the Medicine Bow Forest, west
of Laramie, about $50 acres were
reseeded to lodgepole pine on the
Turpine Creek burn of 1915. This
fire was so severe that it destroyed
Instead of planting trees, seed was
sown directly on the ground with
the seeder, similar to the kind used
in sowing alfalfa. The method of
direct sowing has been successful
with lodgepole pine, but for other
species it is necessary to plant the
little trees raised at nurseries.
About 800 acres of this burn were
sowed to seed in 1919 and this por-
ton now has an average stand of
1900 seedlings per acre.
In the sandhills of Nebraska, AL
acres were planted to western yell
low and jack pine. Ten sections
have not been planted on this
unique forest, which rivals the for
ests started in Napoleon's time in
the maritime pine region in France.
Napoleon started the French people
to planting trees on the sand dunes
of southern France, and the mag
nifcent forest of over a million
acres which resulted supplied much
of the lumber used by the Allied
Armies during the recent war.
In the sand plains of Michigan
1,461 acres of denuded forest land
were planted with Norway and

large an area 1892 acres-was
planted in northern Minnesota at

Conditions are ideal for planting
in the Lake States because of the
sandy soil and favorable climate for
tree growth. The steep and rocky
