The tree-planting activities of Arbor
day, Of National Garden week and Of
Arbor week-a planting period in the
fall rapidly becoming popular-mark
the interest of the American people
in a great national problem which is
| pressing for solution-a forest con-
During the summer a Senate Select
Committee on Reforestation visited all
parts of the country. Senator McNary
Of Oregon, chairman, has introduced
a bill representing the results Of the
committees investigations. 1t seeks
to combine the four essentials of an
adequate national and state policy
looking to the full utilization of all
lands, whether publicly or privately
owned, that are naturally or n
ically adapted to timber growing
rather than to other uses. These es-
sentials are thus summarized:
Extension of the national forests
both by acquisition Of forest land and
by the transfer Of suitable parts of
the public domain to the national for
ests.
Liberal cooperation with the state
governments in the protection and sup
preston of forest fires. which consti-
tute a considerable portion of the re-
forestation problem.
Inauguration Of reforms In local
taxation laws which will make them
conformable to the slow process of
production.
Assistance to farmers undertaking
tree-growing, which is of great i'm
.~ortance in view of the fact that about
one-third of the forest land of the
country is included within farms.
And now, first and foremost, you can

The General Federation Of Women's
| clubs, with it's nationwide member
ship Of 100000, is putting the power
of organized effort into the scattered
activities of Arbor day. National Gar
den week will be observed throughout
the nation April 2O-26 under direction
of Mrs. John D. Sherman, chairman of
the department of applied education,
with the cooperation Of the federal
government through the bureaus of
education and plant industry and the
forest service and extension service.
The program Of the week covers tree
planting in all it's phases. The Gen
eral Federation is also conducting a
nationwide campaign for the inclusion
of natural science and nature study in
the public school curriculum to the
end that the rising generation may be
fitted to deal with the problems of the
conservation of the nations natural re-
sources-of which the forests are one
of the most important.
Many Of the tree-planting activities
of the country revolve about the Amer
lean Tree association, with headquar-
tiers at Washington. Having recorded
SO, 800 members, the association an
1ounces 1923 was the biggest year In
the nations history for individual tree
planting. Plans for 1924, says Charles
Lathrop Pack, the president, point to
even bigger registrations for the year
1924. The Tree association Is the or
yanization in which there are no dues,
'or the only way to join Is to plant a
rec and register 1t with the associa-
ion at Washington.
"As never before the individual Is
coming to see the value of tree plant

his annual report. "The figure does
lot mean only that many trees were
tainted, for the number Of trees

Utility Issues Neglected, But

NEW YORK, July 22.-Heavy profit
taking in public utility issues after
their recent sensational advance has
resulted in comparative neglect of
these issues in the stock market.
Sound fundamental conditions, how
ever. prevail in the industry. The
usual increasing trend of earnings
for most companies continues and
although seasonal recessions in con-
sumption is noted in many parts of
the country, a normal increase is>Ee-
ported. New capital investment in
the past year continues to show sub
stantial earning capacity.

where the quantity consumed would
be even greater If good tobacco could
be obtained. Earnings of the COM
pany were running more than 10 per
cent ahead Of last year, he asserted.
