PLANT TREES FOR FUEL

encouragement Of tree plantations
on South Dakota farms to solve the
fuel supply problem of future years is
suggested by Professor j. G.. Hutton,
Of the South Dakota Agricultural OK
pertinent station staff, who points out
that an adequate fuel supply in this
state has been more or less uncertain
in the past, owing, and among other
things, to disputes between miners and
operators, and that the future may
hold even more uncertainties as the
coal supply becomes more limited, the
population increases and price control
is vested in the hands of those who
think only in terms of coal"
While it is true that hay has been
used for fuel, as we'll as corr cobs and
even corn, these do not seem to be
well adapted to this purpose says
Prof. Hutton, land, furthermore, no
farmer really likes to burn corn if he
can avoid it. However, it is possible
for the farmers in many parts of South
Dakota to provide a supply of fuel of
a very satisfactory nature. Many of
the ~windbreaks planted a few years
ago are now furnishing wood in guam
titles sufficient to meet the needs of
the farm home. If other plantations
of rapidly growing timber were to be
made now, they, too, would soon fur
nish fuel.
There is now a statute which pro-
vides that the county commissioners
may under certain conditions pay a
bounty on tree plantations. Just how
many farmers are availing themselves
Of this bounty is not known to the
writer, but no great increase in the
acreage Of timber on the farms of
South Dakota has been observed. If
the farmers of the state really wish
to provide for an independent fuel sup
ply they can do so by planting a'few
acres Of land to trees and then take

accomplish this with a combined to-
tai of 4,89S, S63. The gain made in
these states during 1922, S59,326, is
greater than the total registration OF
Great Britain and France combined.
Any one of these states has more cars
than the entire Dominion Of Canada.
Their aggregate total is nearly equal
to the 1917 registration for the entire
country.
Today there is n motor vehicle
for every Sc people in the United
States as opposed to one for every 10
in 1921. California has the greatest
number of cars per capita with one
care for every Al inhabitants, virtually
one car per family. When this rate is
attained throughout the country we
will have over %, 000,0 600 motor We
hicles. If the world could support
such an average there would be over
400, 000, 900 cars in use of 90 times as
many as all those produced in this
country since the inception of the
motor car. Alabama has the lowest

one car for every 26.1 persons. New
York. the numerical leader, has one
for every 1913 people.
The 1922 car and thuck production
was 2.576,219. Deducting from this
the increase in registration of 1,757,-

build at least 100000 cars for re-
placement clone.
In the value of its finished products
the autOmOtive industry ranks first eX-
ceeding wen the steel and textile in
dustries. a universal need for rapid
transportation has played the leading
part in this development. Today there
are close 10 100000 miles of improved
national and state highways in the
country. Practically every section of
the United States, no matter how iso-
lated. is now open to business. Far
mers have found motor vehicles to be
Indispensable. One Of the greatest
~adjuncts to railway transportation is
the motor truck and indeed transpor-
tation by motor vehicle has SO simpli-
fed the delivery of farm and factory
products to the railroads that the latter
are continually carrying more and more
freight, thus in 1922, despite equip
ment handicaps, the railroads broke
all previous records in the ~transporta-
ton Of many classes of commodities,
grain being al outstanding example.
Passenger cars have freed individual
transportation of all laborious limita-
lions uniting with the railways in
greatly increasing the tendency of the
American public to travel. The recre-
ational value Of the motor car has
long since diminished before its great
er necessity as a utility.

GENEVA, March 23.-With the ob- ject of constructing waterway through the heart of Switzerland, join- ing the Rhone and Rhine rivers, an American, English and French syndi- cate has been formed with a capital of $9O,0OO,OO0.
 Zurich is to be the headquarters of the company, and General Gerard, a Frenchman, is president.
 The project has inspired the Swiss Government to seek for a scheme whereby the North Sea and Mediter- ranean Sea can be linked together.

For several months Chinese thea ters in many of the most progressive cities have been showing motion pie lures. The long serials, with all the thrills from the girl being kidnapped by automobile bandits and rescued by a hero in an aeroplane, to the brave man who saves the girl from being tortured to death by Indians are the most popular.
 Then comes the comedy. The Chi nese thoroughly enjoy the slap stick pictures and rock with laughter when the blackberry pie is thrown into the face of the hero.
 The more serious five-reel features are of little interest, especially if based on the eternal triangle. The Chinese who have never been abroad and do not read English have abso- lutely no background for understand ing the average picture.
 The American-made pictures have caused number of Chinese to form Chinese companies and take Chinese pictures with Chinese actors. These companies, while they are making a very poor type of picture in comparison with the finished American products, are sending their films into many of the interior cities, and it appears that unless American companies can cooperate with them they will lose a very large market. At present there are about four companies making pictures. The Chi, nese, however, find the movie camera very difficult to operate successfully and the men who have been trained in American studios and really know something of the business are running into all kinds of difficulties when they return to China and try to make pic lures.
 Recently a Shanghai company made a picture entitled "The Rice Pots Revenge" (The fat hero, in stead of being called fatty, was called the rice pot, which has the same mean ing)
 In this picture the hero, who b! the way was a round-faced Chinese country boy weighing around 25( pounds, was supposed to injure th' villain by smashing a flower pot ol his head. Instructions were given tt the property man to make up som' card board flower pots. But the prop erty man couldn't see any reason fo making card board flower pots whel there were plenty of good, heav. crockery ones. "Maskee," says he.
 So Fatty threw heavy flower DO in which a flower was growing. H. hit the villain over the head and h was carried to the hospital uncon scious. It was several weeks befor' the picture could be completed, bu "Maskee-can do tomorrow"

Another difficulty was the final fade away. The director wanted regular Griffith soul kiss fade away. But not a chance. When Fatty was told that he was to put his arms around the pretty little Chinese girl heroine and kiss her he flatly refused.
 Such burst of Chinese as followed this mere suggestion. Fatty ranged up and down the scale for at least fifteen minutes. When at last the air cleared, the director, who was an American camera man, found that Fatty was engaged to a girl in Picking. His parents had arranged the match and he had never seen his bride-to-be. But an engagement was an engage ment and he was afraid his parents, or the middleman, or the parents of his fiance might see the picture and then his young life would be ruined.
