The Vanishing Forests

The center of the worlds lumber supply has definitely
shifted to the Pacific coast of the United States
For IL years lumber production in the Eastern South
and Great Lakes states has been steadily
while the Pacific slope shows consistent increase
Moreover, comprehensive survey of the world forests
shows that there is from which we may draw when
our own are exhausted.
The average rate Of decrease is about per cent
the year The high point Of production was reached in
1907 when American forests turned out 4700O0OO 600
feet Present production is about 81 per cent less than
these figures.
The high peak is passed forever What of the future?
The most encouraging feature of the situation The uni
versal interest which is being aroused in reorestaon
and preservation problems.
Probably America will always be land of parks and
forest preserves. But century hence the lumber indus
try, as we know it will be something very different
and homes will be built largely of brick tile and con-
crete.

Geran FaVOrS Making
Camp Vail Permanent

WASHINGTON. Sept. al
though the opening session of the
sixty-eighth congress is still three
months away, Congressman Elmer
H. Geran, representative from the
third New Jersey district, is already
busily engaged preparing a number
of bills which he intends to intro
duce.
Chief among the measures in
which he is interested is a bill for
the replacement of the present tenn
porary buildings at Camp Alfred Vail
by those of a permanent nature and
the remaining of the Camp as Fort
M onmouth.
Inasmuch as Camp Vail Is one of
the points of major Importance to
the entire army service, Mr.. Geran
will strongly urge CT the floor OF
the House, the passage of this mea-
sure. 1t represents the only large
installation devoted entirely to sig
mailing methods and equipment for
the entire army. The school and
laboratory there are unique IN the
army today and fill a need in the
training of army personnel and the
development of army equipment
which cannot at present be filled by
any other agency.
Due to the large amount of tech
meal work and investigation carried
on along electrical lines, the position
of the camp is ideal, situated as it is
within easy distance Of the largest
center for the manufacture and de-
velopment of communication in the
United States. 1t puts the signal
corps in a position to cooperate, as
it is doing, directly and intimately
with the large civil and industrial
institutions engaged in similar work
Another of the advantages of its
present situation is the fact that g
large portion OF recruits for the sig
nal corps are drawn from the north
eastern part of the United States, and
a considerable amount of money is
saved by having to send them only
the short distance to Camp Vail.

present buildings by those of a per-

hdent that his treatment will bring other

that he is offering TO send a 10 days

manent nature Is obvious" Con-
gresham Geran says. THE entire
plant at the camp with the exception
of a supply storehouse, recently con-
structed, are wooden cantonments,
without foundation other than posts
and with roofs of paper compound
roofing material. In addition t the
large number of men housed in
these lightly constructed buildings,
there is a large amount of technical
equipment, the value of which runs
into thousands of dollars. Although
every precaution is taken, the fire
hazard is always very great. In fact
there have been a number of fires
which were only subdued by the
prompt action of the post fire de-
partment and garrison. The value
of the equipment contained in the
buildings would exceed by a consid-
cradle amount the value of the
buildings themselves. Therefore the
loss by fire would be almost incalcul-
able.
1.-The conditions under which the
men and officers r forced to live
are almost intolerable. Constant
work is necessary to keep the build
ings habitable. Yet in spite of such
work, each year finds them consider
ably deprecated. The heating of
the barracks in winter is extremely
difficult and the amount of coal used
would probably be more than suffi-
cient to heat modernly constructed
buildings of a much larger size.
1.-THE record OF accomplishment at
the camp under the conditions
which have had to be met is n of
which the army feels proud and the
people of New Jersey who have been
living in the vicinity of the camp
and had an opportunity to observe,
agree that the pride is justified. The
officials of the signal corps maintain
that there is no reason why the
camp should not continue to play an
ever increasing part in the proper
training and equipping of the army
and strongly urge that as soon as
possible it should be placed on a
permanent basis"

FARM FEDERATION WILL
BOOST BIG ROAD PROGRAM

TRENTON. Sept. 6:-The New
Jersey Federation of County Boards
of Agriculture, which on matters OF
road legislation represents all of the
organized farm groups in the state
will use its efforts to speed up the
! state road building program this
coming winter, according to Louis
A. Cooley, secretary of the organiza-
ton. The action is in line with the
coordinated move of farm bureau
organizations in forty states for g
more complete system of improved
highways to make possible the rapid
marketing Of ~perishable fruits and
vegetables, eggs and milk.
Improved roads which connect
the important producing sections
with the main highways are as i'm
portant to the public welfare as the
principal lines of automobile trave,
used by tourists and the travelling
public" Mr.. Cooley explained. with
the increasing popularity of farm
owned motor trucks, farmers are
making overnight hauls of theii
products to markets which are from
twenty-five to sixty miles from the
farm. AS a result the consumers OF
New Jersey are getting fresher pro
ducts than formerly and the mar
keting is being done by the farmer
with more economy because of the
elimination Of waste.
I'm the hot weather such products
as peaches deteriorate rapidly; sum,
mer vegetables likewise. Mix mus
move to the pasteurizing or bottlint
plant almost Immediately or it
keeping properties are affected
Where improved highways in the
rural districts are already laid, the
farmers have seized the opportunity
of extending their marketing opera
tions. The last census shows that
approximately 10 per cent of New
Jersey farmers now own motor
trucks, and private advises indicate
a considerable increase in the las
two and one half years."
Under the leadership of the New
Jersey Federation the organized
groups of farmers in New Jersey, in
GLIDING the State Grange, have al
ready made considerable progress oil
road improvement, both state and
county. Passage of the Agans bill
which was secured at the 1922 ses
sion of the New Jersey legislature
increased township aid per count,
from $4,000 to $4,000 for thu
building of roads.
The funds enable county govern
ments to increase their program IL
relation to township roads, often NJ
better than COW paths, by making
more money available from the mo
tor vehicle funds without ~increasinl
the tax burden. In many section
good hard gravel is replacing tn
shifting sands of the old days.
Farmers are becoming more inter
ested in seeing the ultimate use 70
which the state road tax and motto
vehicle funds are spent. In general
the farmers were for open specifca
tons; they are now realizing tn
value Of this measure.
