USE CUT-OVER LANDS

Majority Tracts Are Not BEING
Used For Agricultural Purposes
The tradition that all cut or
burned over forest land, or even the
greater part of 1t, is being taken
by agriculture is not borne out by
the facts, says the forest service,
United States department of agri-
culture. ..
The total area OF forest lands al
ready cut or burned over, exclusive
of farm woodlots, that has not been
taken for agricultural use has al
ready grown to 1S1,000,000 acres
says the department. Furthermore,
our forest land Is being cut over at
the rate of about 100000 acres
yearly, and probably more than halt
this area is in virgin forest.
The depletion Of our timber sup.
plies and the reduction Of our for
est area largely through timber min :
ing has created a national problem
that of providing the timber nee
essary to meet our future require
ments. Inability to utilize cut or
culture has created q second and
related national problem-that OF
land use.
Three outstanding measures are
necessary to bring about the grow :
iEg of timber crops on forest lands
One is to stop unrestricted forest
exploitation, another Is to reduce
the waste in the use OF timber, and
the third Is to increase timber pro
duction to the full capacity of the
| land.

SECOND POLO TOURNEY
Events Will Be Pulled Off At Fort
Smelling During State Fair


An especially interesting added
attraction for the residents OF Min
nesota who expect to visit the an
nual state fair will be the interna-
tional polo tournament scheduled to
be played at Fort Smelling, Mime
sofa, on August 81, and September
/, z, and 3.
The tournament is expected TO
draw unusually large crowds to the
international polo tournament to be
held involving the cities of Saint
faul and Minneapolis. The tourney
last year was held in Winnipeg.
Canada, when the Fort Smelling iirst
Sam returned the winner after hag-
ing annexed the Sifton Trophy, a
valuable challenged cup, donated to
Major John w. Sifton, publisher of
the Manitoba Free Press and not
ed Canadian horseman. The army
team therefore became the defend
ers of the cup in the meet this year
against six other teams: two from
the Saint Charles Country Club
Winnepeg; one from the famous
Princes Pat regiment and one from
he Lord Strathcona Horse, both OF
me Cduduldu ARMY the MluuSdpOilS
four, and the Fort Smelling "B" ag-
creation.
Polo is the most ancient game
played by modern sportsmen, It is
one which contains all the thrills of
all other games combined, both for
the players and for the spectators.
This the second season in which il
has been played on a large scale IN
Minnesota, and Fort Smelling is the
center of the playing here. An In :
creasing number OF visitors to the
fort for the purpose of witnessing
the Sunday afternoon games shows
that the people of the Twin Cities
and their visitors are finding II of
re greatest interest.
A general invitation is extended to
the residents Of the Northwest to
take advantage of this opportunity
to see a series of polo games with
teams Of more than the usual ability
participating. The authorities az
Fort Smelling are preparing to care
for a crowd of at least 10000 spec
tators at each days games.

i. S. TO CUT DOWN
ALCOHOL PERMITS
Industrial Product Used on
Big Scale by BootIeggers,
Say Dry Enforcers.
By the Associated Press,

by tne Associated IresS.
Drastic curtailment of dealings in
denatured and Industrial alcohol has
been decided upon by federal pro-
hibition authorities as the next step
in their campaign to combat the IL
licit liquor traffic. Orders have been
issued for the revocation of scores of
dealers permits, among these being
that issued to one Of the largest alco-
hol-producing plants in the country.
Decision to withdraw the license of
this plant and to refuse to reissue
dozens of permits, for which applica-
tions were pending, was reached at
a conference of prohibition enforce
ment officials attended by Acting Com
missioner Jones. Acting Director yell
lowley of New York and heads of
the bureaus at headquarters here.
1t is understood that reports submit
ted by Mr.. Yellowley of his investiga-
tion into the sources of Christmas bev-
erages had much Ito do with the order.
Mr.. Yeliowley is known to have Sc
cured evidence which convinced him
that the great bulk of this supply was
of domestic manufacture, with illegally
diverted alcohol used as base. Much
of the alcohol was declared by prohi-
bition agents to have been re-rectified
from stocks supposedly denatured, in
accordance with government regula-
tionS.
Investigation made by Mr.. YellowIey
in New York of recent supplies of boot
leg whisky" led to seizure of $500
gallons of redistilled alcohol and a
number Of stills, which were designed
for use in this operation. The New
York director obtained evidence that
much of this product was retailed un-
der the guise of having been landed by
rum-runners.
The conference of prohibition off,
cials was given further detailed re-
ports on the investigation which had
been made of the recent operations
Of the rum-running feet in the vicin-
ity Of Highlands, N. j. The reports
were not made public, but there is
now no disposition at prohibition
headquarters to deny the probability
that considerable amount of liquor
was landed.
|. Acting Director William B. Moss of
New Jersey reported he had checked
on the movement of vehicular traffic
over all the roads from and to the
tain that there was not sufficient ton
mage in transit in the periods of
smuggling activity to move a, $4,000
case cargo IL every truck active In
that period had been loaded with pro-
hibited freight. Agents in the yicin-
ity of the coast, he said, further con-
firmed these observations.

HALF MILLION FIRE
LOSS IN BALTIMORE
By the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Md, January IA
repetition of the conf1agration Of
1904, when practically the entire
downtown section of this city was de-
stroyed, was threatened by fire early
today when two f1ve-story brick
buildings in the heart of the cloth
ing and warehouse district were de-
stroyed. The loss was estimated at
approximately 100000, partly COW
cred by insurance. There were no
casualties. The cause of the fire has
not been determined.
The fire started in a building at the
corner of Lombard and Sharp streets.
shortly after 1 am, within a short
distance from the 1904 disaster. The
building was occupied by the dry
goods and clothing firms of the Wear
we'll Pants Company, Furst Brothers
Company and the Hopkins Army and
Navy Supply Company. Famed by
a high wind, the blaze spread to an
adjacent building housing the Joyner-

hats.
The flames had made such headway
that six alarms, calling out all avail

Daily News. Copyright 1923.
BERLIN, January 17.-Ac-
cording to reports received
here both Poland and Russia
are missing troops nlong
their joint frontier. Warsaw
dispatches say that Marshal
Pilsudki, chief-Of-staff of the
Polish army, has gone to the
frontier of Ukrainin and that
Leon Trotsky, commander-in-
chief of the bolsheyists forces,
is ON the other side of this
frontier at the head of several
army corps.
Just what the reason is for
this concentration of troops In
n matter of dispute. One re-
port is that the Russian armies
will attack Poland IL that cOun-
try should invade Silesta.
Another message says that
the Poles are about to take an
active part in the German-Lith-
unian row over Memel as an
excuse for reviving the wilma
dispute, and that Russia has
misinterpreted the Polish troop
movements.
The German public, which
seems to have lost its nerve.
is trembling lest something
serious liz likely to happen

ti0n to the invasion of the
Ruhr valley and the capture of
