TIMBER SHOULD BE
REGARDED AS CROP

Whether timber is to be mined
from our forests, without thought,
Of replacement, like coal from
our hills, or whether it is to be
considered as a crop to be har-
vested and grown like other farm
crops is now being discussed in an
article by the United States De
partment of agriculture.
The article discusses very thor
oughly the problems now con
confronting the country as q re
suit of the lack of forestry pol
icy and the resulting depletion of
the Nations forests by logging OPP
erations and fire.
Nearly half the land area of the
United States, some 822,00O,00O
acres, was originally forested, says
the article, but the forested area
has now been reduced to 1885,
100000 acres of virgin forest,
250,000,0O0 acres of comparative
ly inferior culled and second
growth, and 100000 acres of
barren land, total of slightly
less than 100000 acres.
Largely through timber min
ing" it continues, "the original
stand Of timber has been reduced
from more than 5000 billion
board feet additional in culled and
seccnd-growth stands.
"Seventy-fve per cent of the re-
naming virgin timber is west of
the Great Plains, and more than
so per cent of all our remaining
saw timber is in the three Pacific
Coast States, while nearly half of
the lumber cut is consumed in the
region east of the Mississippi Riv-
err and north of the Ohio and Poto-
mac River. Lumber producing and
consuming centers are so far
apart that we pay $25O,OOO,0OO
annually in lumber freight"
The article traces the shifting
of the timber industry from the
East to the Middle West and South
and then to the West, The neces-
sity for vigorous reforestation
and for the conservation Of our re-
naming forests is emphasized
since, according to the article, the
available timber supply Of the
United States is being consumed
about four times as fast as it is
being replaced.

THE HOME WORK
HABIT GROWS

Since wages went up in the war
days, many people have growled
because domestic services and
work about their home places have
cost so much. If as a result any
of the people of Americas have
been induced thereby to resume
these active tasks themselves, they
may not merely have saved some
expense but they have added years
to their lives.
Many men give up such activi-
ties at an early age, feeling that
they are not strong enough to
NOW their lawn or handle ashes
or spade up the garden. Perhaps
under recent conditions they have
been induced to put on the old
overalls and do a little hard work
with their hands.
They may have pulled and
wheezed at first so they felt as if
they were breaking up physically.
But after a little training, lot of
them have learned they were just
as good as ever. They rejoice in
this new-found strength, and they
keep a habit that gives them use
full exercise.
Similarly with many women who
formerly felt themselves unable
to do homework Under the stress
of the war period, lot Of then
resumed acquaintance with the
cookstove and the broom, and find
their physical ability constantly
improving. A lot Of these folks
look forward to more years of ac-
tivity than they did five and ten
years ago, just because they have
learned that it pays to keep up
their physical ability.

TARIFF TRANSPORTATION
TWIN C. 0. P. TROUBLE.

Agricultural conditions have not
made the recovery that was eX-
pected by the Republican admini-
stration and are sure to be a cause
Of dissatisfaction and detection in
the ranks Of the western Republi-
can progressives and radicals of
the next Congress. The tariff on
grains, livestock, wool, sugar and
other crops of the West has not
proved effective in charging the
farmers market or increasing the
price Of his products, but has OPP
Grated to magnify his cost Of liy-
ing.
There have been some advances
in the prices Of agricultural prod
ucts, notably wool, but these gains
to the producers are offset by the
rapid rise in commodities which
they have to consume. Official
statistics from the Department
of Labor show that the average
wholesale price of nine groups of
commodities - including farm
products-were II points higher
in March, this year, than in March
1922, before the Fordney- McCum-
Der bill passed. The advance n ag-
ricultural products was II points,
but the prices of other commodi-
ties of which the farmer is a heavy
consumer had considerably outrun
the rise in what he had to sell.
The cost of clothing moved up
ward 27 points between March,
1922, and March, 1928, accord
ing to the official statistics. Build
ing materials were As points high
er than last year; and metals
hardware, wire, implements, etc.
40 points higher. Moreover, the
cost Of consumers commodities is
ascending faster than the prices
of agricultural products arg In
consequence of this disparity be-
tween what he pays for all he buys
and what he receives for all he
sells the farmer is finding fault
with the tariff. One big agricul-
tural organization has declared
that the tariff has increased the
cost of living to farmers by $780,
100000 a year.
The tariff and transportation
will be twin troubles for the next
Congress and for the whole adj
ministration, it is forecast. The
move to reduce duties and freignts
will find about the same amount Of
support, it is believed, and the eff
fort of the reactionaries and spok-
esmen of the administration to
precent a reduction will provoke
a bitter fight.
There will be new and pow
erful enemy of the Republican
tariff in 1924-the woman. She
has seen all she wears and coogs
and uses growing costlier and
blames the tariff. The campaign
now being conducted by women
to lower the price of sugar is
symptom CT their reaction to econo-
mic and political conditions. They
feel certain that sugar would be
cheaper if the tariff were lower.
They will carry that conviction
with them to the polls next year.
