URGE ECONOMY In
USE OF FORESTS
REPRESENTATION is Big Feature of
Meeting of Tri State Develop
ment Congress.

Ashland, Wis. More economical
utilization of forests and growing more
forests must be the solution of the
forestry problem in the northwest lake
states, G.. P Winslow, director of the
U. S. Forest Products laboratory at
Madison, declared today at the open
ing session of the Tri State Develop
ment congress here today.
Grouping Of diversified forest indus
tries also must be employed in the
lake states to bring about more
economical use of forest products,
Director Winslow stated.
"Growing more forests is rapidly
gaining recognition as the principal
answer to the question of idle land
and timber shortage in the lake states
and the nation" Director Winslow
declared. Getting more use out of the
forests we have now or shall grow in
the future has not yet gained the
recognition its Importance deserves.
The Forest Products labortory is
working on getting more use out
of forests.
statistics show that two-thirds of
the total timber cut in this country
is lost or wasted, while only one-third
is used in a strict sense. Therefore,
if wood waste can be reduced half
tn life of the forests will be length
ened one-third."
Failure to reduce wood waste will
inevitably reduce the standard OF
living of the American family, the
speaker said.
HO-o 81 al o,.noA oLe4oo1a. oraod
utilization of forests has been the
tendency to group similar instead of
diversified wood-using industries in a
single community" Mr.. Winslow con-
tinued. "Half dozen saw-mills, for
instance, are grouped in town. They
cut out the saw timber, wasting huge
quantities of slabs, edgings and saw
dust, and when they were cut out the
plants must be scrapped. The whole
system is vicious circle of temporary
prosperity followed by self-destruction.
"The future tendency will be radi-
cally different. 1t will consist essen
TALLY in grouping diversified forest
industries in each community so that
what one wastes, the other can use.
Instead of half a dozen saw mills, we
will have a saw-mill, pulp mill, box
factory, wall-board mill and wood dis
tillation plant"
Research work must continue along
extensive lines if forest utilization is
to be developed to any degree, Winslow
said. He said one of the problems
being undertaken by the forest pro-
ducts laboratory at the present time
is how to make newsprint paper from
hardwoods.

Divorces Useless
Because of Shortage

Vienna-Vienna still struggles with
problems arising from housing short
age, and every now and then some new
phase of the situation draws public
attention. Just now it is the question
of accommodations for divorced per-
sons. Apartments are so scarce that
in great many cases divorced couples
are compelled to go on living under
the same roof. A man in such cir
cumstances recently went to court to
compel his former wife to move away
as he wanted to marry again. The
judge ruled she should go.

Corn BOrer Evades
Control Measures

Columbus, O.,-Despite strenuous
resistance by government scientists,
the European corn borer has been
gouging its way southwark from the
great lakes until now it is threaten
ing the Ohio state capital, $50 miles
south.
More than 10 per cent of the total
corn acreage of the United States is
already infested by this insect, and
this infestation is growing faster
than state and federal authorities
can cope with it. Lines have been
stretched, quarantining the borer
districts, guards have kept strict
watch against expectation Of corn
from these districts, even parasites
have been tried Oh the pest. Yet its
march into the corn country Is
progressing faster than ever before.
"a field that had II per cent in
fes4ation last year" declares l. l..
Huber, entcmologist. IN charge Of the
corr bora- laboratory at Oak Harbor,
O., this year has 43 per cent Of its
stalks infested"
Yet the campaign against this
worm has been more centralized than
ever before.
"Last year." says Huber, Eve had
difficulty in finding egg masses: This
year Il is possible to find so or so
egg masses day in soma of the in
tested fields. More eggs could only
mean more larvae"
The only preventive against the
borer, thus far found, has been burn
ing and cleaning up the cornstalks
IN early spring. Those farmers who
did so this spring will probably have
q lighter infestation, Huber believes.

Zimmerman Pleads
for More Interest
Asks Citizens To Hearken To Figures
of Accident Mortality Through
out Country In Year.

Perhaps the greatest problem con-
fronting policeI authorities today is
the proper control and regulation of
m otor vehicle traffic. This was one
of the objects of considerable discus
sion at the National Safety Congress
held at Louisville, according to eecre-
tary of state Fred r. Zimmerman, who
attended.
In 1900 there were about $4,000 auto
mobiles in the U. S., while in 1928
there wre 100000 cars registered.
Where there was one automobile
twenty-three years ago there are a
thousand today, and the demands for
the safe control of these vehicles and
their drivers have increased apace.
Parking rules, traffic regulation, speed,
proper lights and brakes, and the sup
preston of the reckless and intoxicat-
ed driver are vital matters which are
demanding the attention of municipal
and state police throughout the coun-
try. There is a growing tendency
toward uniformity of laws and regu-
lations governing motor vehicles,
which should meet with the APPROVAL
and support Of car owners and police
alike.
at is lamentable to note" said Mr..
Zimmerman, shat nearly 10000 people
were killed in automobile accidents
last year; that thirty-seven persons
met death every day in 1923 through
someone's negligence or criminal reck-
lessness in the operation of a motor
vehicle, and the figures are constantly
increasing. The fact that Wisconsin
chiefs of police at their annual con-
vention in Milwaukee went on record
in favor of legislation designed to curb
the reckless and drunken automobile
driver is evidence that the public safe
tu cannot he disre0a rdedn
