protect and propagate what we now
have. In artificial reforestation, the
aim ID to enlarge production. to
place every potential timber pro-
ducing acre on production basis,
and II possible. to ultimately stabil-
ise the welfare Of the future BY
having supply equal demand.
While congressional appropria-
tions are a. yet insufficient to per-
init definite progress Of the work
efforts will be continued to
establish the favorableness of tho
sites. This work Is largely the plant
ing Of sample acres TO determine the
degree Of results under the many
and varying conditions presented
over the $500 acres In need Of
artificial reforestation. Results from
25 local experimental plots covering
= period Of 10 years have permitted
the conclusions:
1. That direct seeding by broad
casting. narrowing or even moro in
tensive methods results In too great
percentage OF failure to warrant
its continuation.
2. That the reclamation OF
doubtful areas. that Is the conver-
sion Of natural grassland parks or
xaEebrush flats to timber producing
areas. Is worthy of no further con-
sideration.
3. That the planting OF at least
3 year old seedlings in light stands
Of protecting aspen has given the
most favorable results.

THE LOCAL FOREST
PLANTING SITUATION

There are yet among US many
who will recall the many forest
fires that ragged throughout the ad-
jacent timbered areas in the neigh
borhood Of 1880 years ago. In
some cases attempts were made to
stop them. particularly when the
loss OF personal property or lives
were threatened but, from the re-
sulting facts. the big majority were
left to run their course and await
natural suppression. Mute evidence
of the once valuable timber re-
sources thus destroyed now take the
form Of blackened snags and char
red stumps.
1t Is usually conceived that
Nature amply provides for its own
maintenance and such belief is true
in many instances. However. in the
case OF many burned over areas. the
destruction wrought In the first
place was so intensive as to pre-
clude natural recovery In the usual
expedient manner 80 characteristic
of Mother Nature. Not only were
the trees destroyed as well as all
other living things hut the fierce
ness OF the fires even penetrated for
some depth into the soil itself. All
nutrative values for the establish
ment and propagation OF tree life
were literally destroyed. In many
cases heavy sod Of various grasses
aud herbscious plants followed
within = few years. while on other
sites the prolific aspen established
itself. To say the least an all too
great an area yet remains dormant
insofar rs its potestial possibilities
are concerned.
An extensive reconnaissance Of
the situation during 1928 has re-
veaied to the Forest Service that
on the Rio Crande National Forest
alone there are approximately s3.-
500 acres OF potential timber lands
which today are producing nothing
In the way Of = current or prospec-
tive future economic return. Natural
reproduction Is either negligible or
void and Nature 10 In need Of as
sistance. Such assistance and cor
responding development Of re-
sources II termed Artificial Re-
forestation by the Forest Service.
Confronted now with the cold
facts that as 4 nation We are using
up our timber supply At the rate OF
5000 feet board measure for every
1000 feet board measure produced
by natural growth. there is much In
the argument that every acre Of po-
tenttai timber lands should he de-.
veloped to Its highest state Of pro-
duction and. Of course. duly protect
ed from destructive agencies. the
most important being fire.
This IL the stand the Forest serv.
Ice has taken and will continue to
advocate m a sound policy. Hence.

request for care with fire when In

TWENTY BUCKS
EVERY MINUTE
FAIR SALARY

Every branch Of sport has made
rapid strides of progress in the last
five years. A big crowd of five years
ago is slim gathering today.
Not so long ago, $4,000 was con-
sidered top-notch salary for bN
league baseball player. In fact there
were few men who were commanding
stipends of those proportions.
Consider then the case of one john
ny Beckmap, sensational forward and
guard of the New York Celtics, world
champion basketball team.
Beckman is said to draw down the
amount mentioned above for his SER
vices on the courts this season. In
cidentally he is the highest paid
player in the game today.
And that's some salary when it is
considered that the indoor pastime
covers but five months or so at tho
most, with from five to six games
being played weekly, and each con-
test lasting but 40 minutes. In other
words, Beckman gets about 500 for
every game in which he participates.
Simmered down, it means something
like 20 bucks minute. A fairly
good recompense in any branch of
endeavor.

Charlie White, who served in the
Union army through the Civil War
under the name of Newton, probably
because of desire to hide his en-.
listment, which was at about the
age of 16, from his family, came ia
jamestown about 1883 from Montana
where he had re-enlisted after the
war and served as a bandman, being
one of the band which played at the
Golden Spike driving ceremonial
when the transcontinental railroad
was completed.
In the early days he appeared in
the variety play houses along the
main line of the N. P. as a vaude-
vile performer and later worked as
brick mason and playing the local
bands and orchestra as a trap drum

Uhle is the voungster who came

From the very outset of his career
Uhle gave great promise, but has
been trifle late in arriving. Iris

confident Uhle has finally come in
to his own.

Uhle should be consistent winner

New Umpire

Whitley Witt of the New York YAH
KEGS will probably never forget a
run-in that he had with Umpire Bill
Guthrie last year.
Guthrie, who received d trial in the
American League last fall, is decisive
il not elegant, in his conversation.
New York was playing at Washing
ton. Witt was the leadoff man in
the opening inning. Very fleet OF
foot, he hit SLOW bounder to the
ineld, and made a very close play at
first for Guthrie. The umpire called
him out and Witt Immediately start
ed. to squawk.
"Dont be singing the. blues to
me- was Guthrie's reply, II know
all the words to that song"
Witt persisted in telling Guthrie
how blind he was and what rotten
decision he had made. It was the
same old story the umpire hears
hundreds of times during the sum-
mer. s.
"Same old blues!" said Guthrie as
he listened to Wits chatter, eff YOU
haven't any new. stuff you better be
on your way or you are through"
Witt persisted.

Better leave quietly, for If I hear
the rattle of tin on the way to the
