AS he looked up to see her standing

a violent action which recalled to
Madeline the one he had made on the
night she had met him, when she dis

FARMING COMING BACK

Those who have based their argu-
ments about international and do
nestle economics on exports of farm
products might do well to check up
on some of the figures.
Statistics show that the exports OF
leading American foodstuffs in the
IL months ending June 80 had a
wholesale value of $782,000,000,
which is just about twice the value Of
similar exports in 1913, when the
export market was normal.
OF course, the scale of prices is gen
orally higher than it was then, and
some allowance must be made for
that but on the whole it can be seen
that the export trade in agricultural
products has picked up remarkably
since the postwar depression.

GETTING AMERICA IN

There is a lot of loose sentiental
talk about America taking hand in
Europe. Get down to brass tacks
and what is involved? Just this !:
Higher taxes in America for the bene-
fit of Europe. That Is all.
European nations have no diff
Guilty In borrowing where they can
show proper security. They want to
borrow without security. That Is the
sole purpose of all the talk about
getting America in"
Are we ready to pay higher taxes
in order to make Europe present?
II we are, all right. Let us go in.
But if not, let US cut out all this
beautiful and meaningless talk about
Europe and do something at home.

"a SMALL BRUSH FIRE"

Those little words are in re-
port OF the great Berkeley fire that
burned over thirty-fiye residence
blocks.
"a little brush fire" that got be-
yond control and famed by the
wind caused $1O,O00,000 damage and
left 2,40O people homeless.
They saved their children" is
the comment Of one newspaper on the
conflagration that started from some
ones carelessness, and the additional
item that too many houses are
built OF purely eombustible material.
Such disaster as is recorded al
Berkeley can occur in any Of our
larger residence cities where some
one makes little fire outdoors and
does not take good care of it.
City architects, city councils, fire
departments and city and state Of
ficials should all asst in educating
people to lessen fire loses, which, in
most states, are as great annually as
all the taxes collected.

FARM WORK NOT INJURIOUS

Those who are SO exercised over
children doing a reasonable amount
of labor are now inveighing against
the long hours and alleged conditions
of boy on the farm. Their pity is
misplaced. So far as future industry,
manliness and good citizenship is
concerned we will back the farm boy

cause the law prohibits their employ

Cooperative REFoREsTATIoN

The great movement for national
reforestation inaugerated by uniting
private interests, state forestry bu-
reaus. and federal forest service, is
one of the greatest national construc-
tive programs ever launched ana
should have the thoughtful consider
alton of all who are interested in the
future national welfare.
The United States uses more wood
, than any other country-two-fifths
of the entire consumption of the
world, or about 22h billion cubic
feet.
The per capita consumption of this
country Is 212 cubic feet, Of which
ITO cubic feet, or little more than
half is saw timber. and the balance
consists OF cordwood.
Including the losses by fire, insects.
and disease, the total drain on the
country's forests is close to rs billion
feet. At the present time this coun-
try is growing only about billion
feet.
However, Of the entire forest area
of the eountry-some 100000 900
acres-were placed under intensive
forestry about 81 billion cubic feet
OF timber could ultimately be pro-
duced each year. This amount would
eceed thep resent drain on our forests
by relatively small margin.

and the entire United States being
in literally destroying the existing
forests.
The states containing the largest
acreage of logged-off lands have been
impovished by removal of the for
ests and are least able to carry on
large reforestation projects.
The private owner Of timberlands
cannot be compelled to replant de-
vastated areas. So there is nothing
left but for Uncle Sam to do it.

BEETS-SUGAR
PULP-LIVE STOCK

Here is four-gun industry shoot
ing prosperity into western states in
four different ways.
On top of that the beet sugar in
dustry affords stock food for dairy
ing and raising young swine
Particularly fortunate is that
farming territory which is favorably
situated for growing sugar beets.
Beets furnish cultivated crop
which forces good farming methods
and thereby brings about larger re-
turns in all other crops.
Beets afford the farmer the means
of obtaining a larger annual aggre-
gate income and furnish work to
more people in the community than
does the same area in any other crop.
The sugar beet crop presents
greater resistance. to alkali, hail and
insect pests than do other crops.
The by-products, sugar beet tops,
pulp, molasses, etc, are just what is
needed to fatten animals on the ex-
listing large supplies of hay, clover,
alfalfa and dry fodder.
The sugar beet crop counting pro-
ducts from by-products, produces
more surplus human food per acre
than any other crop. An acre of sugar
beets will produce for human con-
from $500 to $500 pounds
of sugar and about 500 pounds of
beef, mutton, pork or dairy pro-
ducts.
Taken all in all, beets-sugar-pulp-
livestock, inter-related as they are,
'orm an interesting, profitable and
important part OF the economic sys-
EN- of our Country.

POLITICAL BRAKENIEN

Having past the 9rdeals Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
the federal and supreme courts of the
United States, the Southern Pacific
is building the Natron cutoff at a
cost of $10,00O,00O.
The l. c. C. and the courts settled
the controversy between the Union
Pacific and the Southern Pacific eysr
the ownership and use of the Central
Pacific by leaving the Southern Pa
cific in control but giving the Union
Pacific common user privilege from
Ogden to San Francisco.
Now comes a western railroad COM
mission is threatening to take the
whole matter into the courts and tie
up the only important piece Of rail-
road construction that we are liable
to have in the West.
Is there no way to stop forty-eight
state railroad commissions doing po-
litical jockeying and blocking the
development of the country by acting
as paterpalistic brakesmen-
With the interstate Commerce
Confusion, the acts Of Congress- and
the decisions of the Supreme Court
favorable to progress and industrial
state railroad commis-
siops as far as railroads are con-
eerhed, are useless function at the
expense of the taxpayer, and they
might all well be consolidated into
one commissioner in each state.

NORTHWEST MORE
THAN EVER MECCA OF
MOTOR TOURISTS
Fnriyaied Scenery, Propinquity t.
National Parks and Accessibility
by Pacific Highway, the
Reasons.
BY John G. Wetmore

| 7
More than ever before have the
Northwest states this year been the
mecca Of motor tourists. Statistics
showing the extent and increase of
those seeking the scenic spots of ore
gon and Washington by automobile
are fairly eye-opening.
Practically the same touring con-
ditions exist in washington and Ore
gon, each having equally fine roads
and scenic attractions of the same
character, SO that statement of the
ipbounF traffic Of ons state probably
would apply fairly closely to the
other.
Thanks to an oregon law requiring
that all motor tourists entering the
State to register. actual figures of
the automobile influx can be given.
In round numbers soewhere around
$4,000 outsiders motored into the
state between May "a and August
81. More than half Of them, or
1855 to be exact, game from Cali
fornia. oregon's aeKt door Pacific
Coast neighbor. Washington. was
second with 4S43, and Idaho third
with 1s49,
From the Middle west came 432
from Illinois, S. from OHIO and ass
from Michigan; willis even the At
lantic Seaboard contributed 206 from
New York and 262 from Pennsylvan-
Ia Barring West Virginia and
South Caroline, every state in the
Union was represented. This will il
lustrate the fact that automobile
tours to the Pacific Northwest have
become a nationwide habit.
Both states have great national
parks within their borders-Mt.
Rainier in Washington and Crater
Lake in Oregon. They are also on
automobile touring routes leading to
or from the Yellowstone in Wyoming,
the Glacier In Nevada, and the Yose-
mite, Grant, Sequola and Lassen vol
canio In Northern and Central Cali
fornia.
The Northwest scenic touring
region Is reached directly from the
East by the Lincoln, Victory and
Theodore Roosevelt highways, the
latter being practically the old Mid
land trail, Most Of the outside tFaf-
fic, however, comes frem California,
which eastern tourists reach by the
highway from the South,
the Arrowhead from Utah, and En-
renberg running straight west from
Phoeni.
Practically all Of this California
influx, enters the Northwest over
he great Pacific Coast highway, a
1000 mile road from San Diego to
Vancouver, B. c.
Incidentally at Tacoma, Wash
ngton, on October oath there will
De a great celebration of the paving
If the 20 mile stretch between To-
edo and Kalama, which will mark
he completion OF the Pacific High
way in Washin gton and oregon.
This will leave only ia mile
tretch in Northern California still
lnpaved to absolutely complete what
Will be the longest continuous paved
DAD in the world.
