IHEOUTDORS

PRESIDENT NV. *
SnOwshOes.

SnoWShoeS are a great blessing
when they're right and terrible
burden when they're wrong.
1t is only with the indispensable
aid of snowshoes that we are able
to get out into the woods in the
winter time, over large part of
the United States and those who
have tried it say that the winter
woods are far ahead of the sum-
mer woods. But inexperience or
poor judgment can make a curse
of what should be blessing.
If you travel in wet or heavy
snow, nothing viii keep the snow
from clogging your shoes and
sticking around on the upper sur
faces in large chunks. Therefore
in March, or during the mid-win-
ter thaw, only small snowshoes
should be used-the smallest YOU
can get, because you've simply got
to lift that heavy, sticking snow
each step, and a large shoe will
Just naturally anchor you. Also,
heavy snow packs quickly, and it
doesn't take so much surface in
q snowshoe to keep you from sink
ing into it.
Shoes for wet snow should have
coarse meshes, because then the
large chunks of snow can drop
through more easily. But if the
snow is fine and hard, small
meshes should be used, since these
will keep you from sinking so deep
into the snow and will permit the
fine graduated snow to sift
through just as we'll as the coarse
meshes will.
The shape of the shoe depends
on the use you are to put them to.
For cross country work, or lake
travel, the long, narrow shoe is
best, while the round bear paw
shoe is best for manipulation in
brush. With these as standards it
IS easy to find a shoe to fit your
use.
1t is better to use leather snow
shoe harnesses than to use lamp
wick or muslin, as the Indians and
cruisers do. The woodsmen who
use snowshOes as matter of
course, tie the thongs in the fall
and don't unite them until spring,
getting their feet in and out by a
peculiar twist. But for the aver
age outdoorsman the leather har-
ness is better. The best thing
about these is that they give a
flat surface under the ball of the
foot and at the base of the toes,
while the thongs leave bare the
ridge across this part of the foot,
which soon causes trouble for ten
der toes.
Even the woodsmen are falling
for the wiles of civilization. Those
who cannot afford leather har-
nesses cover the part Of the shoe
on which the ball of the foot and
the toes rest with pieces of thick
automobile inner tube, to which
the snow will not stick and there
fore will not form in bothersome
ice Jumps.

Former Premier Clemenceau of
France has presented to the city
museum of Versailles the ring
with which he sealed the Treaty
of Versailles in 1919. The ring
was also used by the foreign min
lister Favre when he signed the
treaty with Germany in 1871, be-
cause Bismarck was unwilling to
wait until the state seal was
brought from Paris to Versailles.

Milwaukee. AS recently sug-
gested by President Coolidge in an
address to timber owners and
wood users in Washington, lum-
bermen from Wisconsin and north
ern Michigan held a special meet
ing here November 25th and took
active steps towards the formula
tion of a program to reduce the
present losses in the conversion of
wood and to bring about progress
sive demonstration in the Lake
States.
Raphael Zon, st. Paul, Mimi,
Government Forester in charge of
investigative work in this district
advocated the creation of new ma
tional forests under the provisions
of the bill passed by the last Fed
eral Congress. He advocated the
demonstration of state owned and
government forest land within
this region at a rate of at least
$4,000 or 10000 acres a year and
pointed out that a reduction in
taxes on cut-over land was essen
tial before private owners could
afford to hold second growth to
maturity or reforest land devoid
of forest growth. In this connec-
ton he stated that the annual tax
should not be more than 10 or 15c
per acre to permit the economical
planting and holding of White
Pine plantations for a period of
so years before cutting.
B. G.. Packer, State Director of
immigration, Madison advocated
the classification of land in ac-
cordance with the suitability of
land for different uses, to the end
that land suitable only for grow
ing trees might be plotted out as
soon as possible He also showed
the connection between successful
forestry and the development of
local wood consuming industries
which furnish a market for many
products that cannot stand long
freight rates.
NJ E. Sibole, Marinette, told how
northern land should be classified
first, according to it's value to
summer resorters, that is, lake
frontage and water frontage; sec
ond, good agricultural land ada
cent to prospective summer home
property and other communities;
and third, land Of the poorest type
better suited to growing trees
than crops. He told how such
classifcations are now being made
in Marinette county. G. E. Bishop,
Secretary of the Northern PENN
sula Development Bureau of Mar
quette, told how the Development
Bureau had developed the dairy in
dustry by bringing in blooded
stock, had assisted settlers on raw
land and through advertising had
developed an important tourist
trade.
Burt Williams, Milwaukee, Pres
ident Land O Lakes Association,
spoke on recreation, a coming in
dustry for Northwest Wisconsin
and Michigan. Automobile tour
lists from the outside are now
spending more than 20 million
dollars per year in Wisconsin,
while local people are spending an
even greater amount to get near
the woods and lakes. Residents Of
nearly every state of the union are
building summer homes in Wis
consin. Recreation is becoming a
recognized industry of first inn
portance, and will eventually be
of great assistance in developing
demonstration. Forestry and the
sale of land for recreation. pur-
poses will go together. The auto

ponds on number of factors, the alb

farm or In the field where 1t is desired
TO grow clover may be made by setting
aside q small plat OF ground in the
neld Tor experimental purposes and
trying different treatments of the soil
as regards lime, fertilizers etc.
An arrangement Of a series of eight
piats for such test Is suggested by
the United States Department Of Ag-
rlculture. The strip of land to be used
Tor the test should be as near repre-
sentative OF the field as is possible to
determine from superficial observation.
DIVIDE 1t Into eight plats of equal size.
Leave the first plat untreated for a
check on the treated plats. On the
second spread lime alone, on the third
lime and phosphate, on the fourth
lime and manure, on the fifth manure
alone. on the sixth manure and phos-
! phate, on the seventh phosphate alone,
and leave the eighth untreated for an
other check.
BY this arrangement all the lime and
all or the manure can be applied to the
experimental plat In one continuous
area. The phosphate alone must be
applied to separate areas, and phos- |
phate Is the easiest to apply. A ton |
or ground limestone and $50 to 300 |
pounds of 16 per cent acid phosphate
per acre is suggested unless the land
is known to be very poor in lime, when
two tons of gronnd limestone may be
applied In this outline no potash has
been suggested. Potash plats can be
inserted IL desired. but over most of
the clover area scarcity of phosphate
Is much more common than scarcity of
potash, and by following the outline
suggested here the farmer is likely to
ind which fertilizer is best to use.

Mccoy quickly smacked him over.

TENNIS STARS
START PLAY
FOR TITLE
Feature Matches So Numerous
Johnston is Put on Back
Court
By H. C. HAMILTON.

FOREST HILLS, L. l., Aug. 25.-
Eighty-two players were to take
the courts Of the West Side Tennis
Club here today in what is ex.
pected to be the hardest fought
tournament in the history of ma,
tional singles battles.
Included in the entrants are the
stars of foreign countries.
So good are the first days
matches that in order to see in
action William M. Johnston, former
national singles champion, ranked
by tennis followers and officials
next. to William T. Tilden, the
national champion, it will be neces.
sary for spectators to leave the
grandstand courts before the club
house and journey to the back
courts.
With other feature matches
carded for today there is not room
to put Johnston on the grand
stand courts. For one Of the few
times in his brilliant career he will
play his first match of the tourna-
ment out of sight Of the crowd.
First and second round matches
were to be played today, half of
the players having drawn first
round byes.
William T. Tilden II, reigning
champion, was to meet Manuel
Alonzo, Of Spain, in the feature of
the day late this afternoon.
Strangely enough, Alonzo is the
only man who has taken the
measure of the lanky Philadelphia
since he acquired his tennis cham
pionship.
In other feature matches Norman
E. Brookes, forty-eight years old
but still as greatly feared as when
first he came to this country from
Australia in quest Of the Davis
Cup, will meet Hugh G. M.
Kelleher, New York. Jean Borotra,
the Frenchman, will battle Carl
Fischer, who was the intercol.
legiate singles champion a year
ago. Robert Kihsey, of San Fran
cisco. who, with his brother,
Howard, won the national doubles
title Friday, is paired for his first
match with Watson M. Washburn,
the Davis Cup veteran of New
York.
Harold Throckmorton, who as a
youngster some years ago attracted
considerable notice. will take on
Pat O'Hara Wood, of Australia.
Brian A. C.. Norton, the former
South African, who now makes his
home in ST. Louis, is paired with
Clarence j. Griffin, the California
veteran. Howard, of the Kinsey
doubles championship team, takes
on Doctor George King, Of New
York.
Tilden is drawn in the upper half
Of the first bracket and was seeded
into the first round byes. John
ston, on the other half, must play
into the second round, having been
drawn into the first round with
A. A. Seelingson. Richard Norris
Williams, second, formerly national
champion, will meet George M.
Lott, jr., in his first match, having
drawn a bye for the first round.
