ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
University Obtains Forest Land

MOSCOW.-A square mile section
of state forest land has been obtained
by the university school OF forestry
for use as a forestry experiment sta
ton, according to an announcement
made by Dean F. e.. Miller Of the
school of forestry. The tract Is To-
Gated about six miles north 70 Mos
COW, and is accessible from good
surfaced road.
The tract is laced by network of
logging roads which were built by a
small logging outfit that cut over the
area. 1t is bisected by a high ridge,
the south side being yellow pine
site and the north slope adapted to
cedar and white fir. The whole area
has been cut over and there are few
trees Of merchantable size, but there
are some 80 stands of yellow pint
reproduction about IS years old. The
tract also contains one open grass
and weed type area and some large
brushy areas which have been used
for grazing.
Plans are being made to start de-
velopment early in the spring. The
value Of the area lies in It's adapt
ability as field laboratory for stu
dent instruction, for the working out
Of research problems and as dem
onstration forest to show what can
be done with forest land which has
been cut over and neglected. 1t will
also be used later for field work in
engineering, forest planting, grazing,
silviculture and mensuration. For
demonstration purposes the area will
be developed to illustrate methods
used in growing timber and protect
ing it.
According to Dean F. G. Miller of
the school of forestry, this tract sup
plies a long-felt need of the school
and is particularly valuable because
of its accessibility and adaptability
to many varied phases Of forest prac-
tice

with daylight. Not only was the grain

the fence was down where the quak-
ing asp posts had snapped like lead

AS Pinkey and Wallie surveyed 1t
in the early dawn, Wallie's voice had
catch in 1t when he said finally:

Wallie felt glimmer of hope in

the clouds closely.
"They do look black" he admitted.
But since it hasn't rained for two
months 1t seems too much to expect
that it will rain when l need 1t so

Pinkey was sitting on the floor oil
ing his saddle when he tilted his head
suddenly and listened.
Hear that?" The sharp note in
Pinkey's voice filed Wallie with
fear
"No-what?"
THAT roar-can't you hear IT,"
Wallie listened intently.
"Yes-like crashing-what is it?"
Hail! And terror! We've got

Wallie following, and together they
