REF0RESTATTON
PROFITABLE TO
PRIVATE OWNERS

ALBUQUERUE, April "a - There
has been belief current for a long
time that the practice of forestry by
private land owners is prohibitive
because of the small return and that
only state and federal agencies could
afford to use forestry methods in
logging their land, states District
| Forester Frank c. w Pooler This
statement was the unfailing answer
of the exploiter type of lumber ope-
rator.
The exploitation era, declares Pool
er, has definitely passed and over so
per cent of the large timber owners
in the Southern Pine association
alone, are now practicing forestry in
their timber holdings. They maintain
a fire protection organization, which
is the first and most important step
in reforestation. Many of them prac-
tice selective cuttings that their
operation will remain continuous and
few of the largest operators employ
trained foresters
The Importance of this step be-
comes apparent when it is consid-
cred that of the 40 million acres of
| forested lands in the United States
suitable only for the growing of
trees, 80 per cent is privately con-
sidered that of the 40 million acres
of fOrested lands in the United
States suitable only for the growing
of trees, 80 per cent is privately
owned. Unless it is profitable and
practicable for private owners to
practice forestry the future of the
timber of the nation is indeed pre-
carious.
Unjust state taxation laws has been
one of the most serious handicaps
which has prevented private indi-
viduals in the past from practicing
forestry
Forestry methods will not be prac-
ticed on private lands unless it can
be done profitably No state taxa
tion agency would consider it fair or
equitable to tax a wheat crop sew
eral times during the same season,
yet an annual timber tax does that
very thing. Many of the states, con-
tinues Pooler, have already revised
their obsolete timber taxation laws
and several others are now in the
process of revision. The sooner this
can be done, the better it will be for
the timber future of the country
State agencies should not be a party
in forcing timber owners to denude
Itheir forest lands to avoid excessive
taxation. 1t is equally to the inter-
est of the state as we'll as the in
dividual owner to keep forest land
productive
The most striking advance in pri-
vate forestry which has occurred in
recent years has taken place in the
redwood region in California, where
since 1922 a wholesale Inauguration
of sustained yield practice has been
adopted. Hereafter the cropping of
be carried on as fast as the forest
crop grows. The Weyerhaeuser com
pany, which is reputed to be the most
extensive forest land owner in the
world, has also organized forestry
company to look after it's cutover
lands and restore them to production.
This company has already placed
their timber holdings near Cloquet,
Minn. on a permanent yield basis.
According to the National Lumber
Manufacturers association, there are
now between 500 and 1000 compa-
nies that are able to show as good
results in their reforestation prac-
tices on their own lands as the ma
tional forests.

COTTON IS LOWER

Realizing by Recent Buyers
Influenced by Smaller
Consumption Figures.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, November 13.-The
cotton market lost today part Of yes.
terday's advance on realizing by
recent buyers. who appeared to be in
fiuenced by smaller domestic consump-
ton figures for October than expected
and reports Of rather freer Southern
hedging at the opening. January
contracts sold off from 1912 to 1855
and closed at 1887, the general
market closing barely steady, at net
declines of 13 to 10 points.
The opening was steady at an ad.
vance of l point to a decline Of 4
points. Buying Of near months on
the relatively steady showing of
Liverpool tapered off after publica-
ton Of the census report showing
bales against 571,105 in September,
and 544,098 in October last year.
Local traders had been talking Of
probable consumption for October
in excess Of September, and the re-
port evidently brought out some liqui-
dation of recent purchases.
There also may have been little
selling on the failure Of the news from
abroad to indicate a final settlement
Of the British coal strike, but any
disappointment in this respect was
modified by the favorable reports
from Liverpool. The bulk of the SELL
ing was attributed to week end
realizing.
December contracts sold off to 12.4s
and March to 1877, net declines of
about Is to 10 points on active posi-
tions. The close was at the lowest
on most months. Further liquidation
by December longs was absorbed by
buying. which appeared to come
largely from spot house brokers who
were sellers on later deliveries.
Private cables attributed steadiness
in Liverpool to trade calling with
local and continental buying. and that
hedge selling was light. They also
reported an improved cotton cloth de-
mand from the continent in Man.

The amount Of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the end of the
week was estimated at 25O,284 bales
against 212,943 last year.

silk held steady in local markets, but

a tendency to ease off. a contributing

It is surprising what beautiful eff
fects can be had in rooms by news
paper stippling of walls. This is but
one of several ways of treating the
walls that homemakers themselves
can do. The Importance Of having
the walls right cannot be overesu-
mated. Therefore, in the room beau
tiful let us have them decidedly at
tractive. If the paper is disturbing
either because of it's color. its design,
or because of it's bad condition, do
not be discouraged. 1t can be RENE
died There are two regulation ways
Of doing it. One is with paint and
the other is with new paper. A
woman of normal health and strength
can paint the walls or re-paper them
herself She can transform them into
delightful backgrounds or pleasing
decorations. Today let us consider
some easy stipple newspaper effects in
painted walls.
The walls may have the paper re-
moved or the paint can be applied
over the paper. OF course, the first
method is preferable, but it increases
tho labor decidedly. The walls must
not only have the paper pulled and
scraped off. but they must have holes
and uneven places then disclosed filled
with plaster of paris and scraped
while soft, until fiat and even with
the rest of the surface. 1t is easy TO
do. in itself. fortunately, though it
does take time.
After pulling off all the paper that
Is loose. a good way ito take off the
rest is to moisten whitewash brush
that has a long handle and. starting
at the top of the wall. draw it down
over the paper until it is wet
through. Then take a broad chiSel
and scrape the paper off, being care
full not to let the chisel mark the
wall. Hold it as fiat against the wall
as YOU car. II the water is luke
warm il will loosen the paper best.
Any good indoor paint can be used
for the walls. preferably one giving
fiat finish--that is. without the glossy
look. Probably two coats will he
needed. 1t certainly will if the wall
has not been painted before. or if the
color is much lighter than a previous
tone. Allow the first coat to get alb
solutely dry before a second coat Is
given.
Newspaper suppling is charming in
effect and is done while the paint is
wet. The ink on the paper Grays the
wet paint just a tiny bit. and softens
it artistically. \ number of papers

half the time required by one and to

best advantage. The process is as
follows:
Crumble sheets of newspaper SO
that each one is like an. uneven spongy
wad, soft and pliable. Paint sec
ton of the wall. beginning at one cor
ner Of the room and at the top Of the
wall. AS soon as the paint gets just
trifie less moist than when first
put on. use one of the newspaper
sponges and dab it lightly but firmly
against the paint. Do not move it
along the wall but lift it straight off
after dabbing. Continue this process
over the entire wall surface. Each
application of the newspaper sponge
should overlap the former one just
enough for no smooth surface to be
left. The unevenneess resembles a
two-toned mottled or stippled paper
or finish. 1t is just the thing to use
on the living room or other main
rooms of a house. 1t can be done
over wall paper without removing it.
a pleasing color effect is light buff
paint with newspaper stippling, while
that which resembles French gray
is done by stippling with the news
paper over a BLUSH white or an ivory
white. the ink craving either just
faint bit. Gray with either pink or
yellow trend is excellent so treated.
Whatever the color, light neutral or
pastel tones are correct for the hues
before applying the stippling of the
newspapers.
