no AVAILABLE WOOD SUPPLY
Investigation Shows That United
States Cannot Rely fon Foreign
Importations of Lumber.

A unique and exhaustive compilation
of the forest resources of the world
has been completed by the Forest serv-
Ice, United States Department Of Ag-
riculture. This reveals, among other
things, that so far as our great struc-
tural and all-purpose woods-the soft
woods-are concerned we must be-
come self-sufilcient or go without. If
all the available Siberian timber were
put at the undisputed call of the Uni
ted States the yearly export would
hardly supply one-fourth Of our an
nual timber needs. There is an i'm
mense reservoir Of hardwoods in the
tropics which can be used for limited
and special purposes and secured at
mahogany prices. But the struggle for
the worlds supply Of soft woods will
become more and more intense, and
those nations will fare best that pru-
IDENTIFY use their suitable waste lands
for growing coniferous woods. This
study skaters the dream Of those who
rely on importing the timber we need
when our own Is gone.

Standards Of Measure.

For most of us the knowledge that
meter is 3.37 inches longer than n
yard Is quite sufficient We must
know as much as that, because the
metric system Of measure is so widely
employed that one constantly finds 1t
necessary to turn meters into feet or
yards. But the refnements of modern
science demand far higher degree Of
accuracy In measurement than Is per-
haps ever dreamed of In the ordinary
walks Of life. The pains taken to OBJ
tain precise standards OF measure are
almost beyond belief Of one who is not
familiar with scientific methods.
Every one knows that so-called
standard" bars, on which the exact
length of the yard and the meter are
marked, are in the possession Of the
governments Of the United States,
Great Britain, France and other coun-
tries. but every one does not know
with what care these standards have
been compared and with what patience
they have been minutely measured
again and again.-Washingto Star.

One hundred thousand dollars vii
be given away between August 81

$5,000,000 state fair In Detroit.
This big fortune will be distributed
among the raisers OF stock and farm
products who will show Michigans
best at the fair.
Early applications for entry blanks
and other indications give promise
that this years exhibition will be the
greatest ever held
From the Ohio boundary on the
south to the copper country OF the
north the signs OF interest are SO
great that fair officials freely predict
the smashing OF records and unani-
mously declare that the farmers and
city dwellers by turning out in great
numbers will put the states great
exposition far In the lead OF all others
throughout the nation.
I'VE are convinced" said Secretary
Manager George w. Dickinson, that
we will be fairly overwhelmed with
farm product and live stock exhibits.
But the more the merrier. This is a
state exposition and all concerned
want the whole people of the state to
feel that it belongs to them.
In addition TO the agricultural
exhibits there will, according to early
plans, be horse racing, auto racing.
midway shows worth over 100000
and scores of other attractions that
will make the Michigan State Fair
this year the greatest show ever held
in the country with the exception of
the few big World Fairs.
This is a chance for the people of
Michigan to have the finest kind of
Today vacation" Mr.. Dickinson said.
1.-The fair is held at a time of the
year when people can get away from
work and at time when the weather
is ideal for real enjoyment The big
educational advantages and the
chances for real sport makes the
states great show the best place on
earth for father, mother and chill
6ren.
Half O million persons probably
will visit the fair this year and plans
are being made to make everyone of
them comfortable"

Should Grow Timber.

The national lumber shipment In
1920 was about 2,070,0O0 carloads. and
the average haul for each carload 4S5
miles. According to the best estimate
of the forest service. United States
Department of Agriculture, the freight
bill on lumber for that year was S25.-
100000. A fraction Of this sum, says
the forest service. wisely invested each
year in forest protection and rehabili-
tation would grow timber where 1t
Is needed, reduce the nations freight
bill, cheaper lumber, and release vast
amounts of railroad equipment and la
for for unavoidable transport. Coal
and iron cannot be grown, but timber
can be.

is THERE WARMTH in SMOKEY
Matter Over Which There Seems 70
De Possibility for Considerable
Difference Of Opinion.

1t sounds rather unreasonable and
anyway, we would rather be colder
and see the sunshine. We refer to the
fancied discosery by suburban New
Yorker that coal smoke makes the
city warmer. He writes: Several
towns on the south side OF Long Is
land have noticed q greater discrep-
ancy In the weather this winter than
ever before. Instead Of varying three
or four or FIVE degrees from the New
York city temperature, 1t is noted
that there Is a variation OF ten or
fifteen degrees. That Is, II is warmer
In New York by that much. Is 1t pos
sible that the use Of soft coal, with
smoke hanging like o blanket over
the city, has tendency to make 1t less
cold?"
1t would take long and precise Sc
rles of experiments to prove this;
and there would still be the poSslbil-
lty that the higher temperature might
be due to other causes. We know
that the city Is hotter In the summer
than the country, but that Is due to
the reflection from the pavements and
superheated walls Of buildings.
If the "smoke pall' keeps out the
greater atmospheric frostlness, 1t
would possibly be explained on the
same lines that smoke smudge pro-
tects peach and orange orchards from
northern blasts in early spring.
Cities live under more or less per-
petual smudge. The 'smudge pots
are always going; but If we could
have our pure air from heaven strained
Of smoke and the sun-rays falling upon
us Instead Of the SCOT, we should cheer
fully accept zero instead Of ten degrees
above.

Invisible.

A peculiar machine Is exhibited In
America by Peter Davey Of England.
It's called the "oscilloscope." An elec.
trio sewing machine Is run at top
speed. Light rays from the oscillo-
scope make the fast-hying needle seem
perfectly motionless. Switch the light
Off and the needle Is seen darting up
and down.
Light vibrations thus deceive the
eye. Makes you wonder about the
forces and things around us that are
invisible because our Eve senses are
not sensitive to their vibrations. The
sixth sense psychic power) may be
the ability to "feel" theae vibrations

NOTES ABOUT FARMERS AND FARM
CONDITIONS IN BLUE EARTH COUNTY
W.W.BOYINGTON

Lizzie and / started out this
morning to finish up Route 3, Ma
pleton and sure haG a wonderful
time. while we were out. The ram OF
/ Wednesday afternoon fixed things
up in great shape around this part
| OF the country, from what can
learn from different places. Think
there was about an average of seven
inches of rain fall The roads were
in none too good condition, not hay-
| ing thoroughly dried out from the
rain of Saturday afternoon and Mon
day morning. Now they are in a very
bad condition again, and of all the
roads these of black gumbo around
here, are the worst ever, when n
rains. We slid and skidded through
them today, until about one thirty,
when we decided we had had plenty
for our day and came to town, "
give my readers an opportunity to
judge the heaViness OF the roads.
Wilt say it was so heavy and sticky,
that when a large quantity stuck to
the bottom of one of our rear fend
ders, the weight broke a brace and
caused the fender to drop. Then Is
when We gave it up in despair and
came to town.
We drove, or rather slid out to
Albert Jaegers, for our first call thu.
morning. His place is about six and
half miles south of Mapleton. Mr..
Jaeger and family just returned
! from a ten days auto trip to North
Dakota, and was a little peeved at
the rain Wednesday, as it kept him
out of the field, which he is very
anxious to get to working, as he
says it has been neglected since he
has been away. He comes back very
enthusiastic, in his praises OF
Southern Minnesota, and Blue Earth
county in particular, says that trip
was all that was needed to make
him realize there, Is no place like
home" Mr.. Jaeger is farming three
hundred acres and badly in need Of
help, which can not be found. He
has a hired girl, probably 1t would
not be so difficult to find a man, II
they only knew this fact. He is
milking twelve COWS, has eighty
spring pigs, and around one hundred
new chicks. His farm is located
along the Maple River and the
grounds surrounded by beautiful
Maple Grove. could not find out
| from Mr.. Jaeger, whether the grove
was named after the river, or the
river named after the grove, anyway
they are botn pretty; especially lne
river today, as 1t is badly swollen
after the hard rain Wednesday, and
has the appearance of being a real
honest to goodness river.
Byron McGregor was not home
when we called at his farm. He also
has a very pretty place, located
among the banks of the same won
derful Maple river. Mr.. McGregor
must make a speciality Of raising

large number running around the
barnyard, but were not as white as
their name signifies, as they had ap-

he is glad and would not be without
it. Those things help a persons dis

things are breaking hard. and every
thing seems to 60 dead wrong. Det
igen is working one hundred and
forty acres, and sadly IN need ol
help, which he can not find. This
seems to he the cry nearly every
place. He has one son Frederick
who can help him a little around
the place. especially in milking their
seven cows and doing a little cult
Vating. He says crops are in a fai,
condition but little too much rain
The corn Is stripped a little from the
hail Of last Saturday, and the rye
crop, about one third damaged.
Still sliding, We managed to ger
to the house Of Elmer Martin. His
