Eliminating Hemlock
in Northern Rockies

Missoula, Month"; the northern
Rockies hemlock trees are passed up
by the average lumberman. He takes
the white pine, larch, and Douglas fir
and leaves the hemlock and white fir
standing. These survivors, says the
Forest Service, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, are aggressive
competitors of the more valuable
species. Their dense shade and their
own prolific powers of reproduction
discourage and choke out the white
pine seedlings.
The Northern Rocky Mountain Ex-
pertinent Station has for some time
been experimenting with WAYS Ct re-
ducing hemlock in northern forests.
Girdling the full grown trees before
the white pine is logged is one meth
cd tried, but the results are generally
unsatisfactory. The fire menace of
fallen limbs, tops, and trunks of dead
hemlocks on an area girdled six years
ago was estimated during the past
year to far outweigh the gain in white
pine reproduction. Girdling is rather
expensive process.
In young forests of new growth 20
to Is years old, where hemlock COM
prises possibly IS per cent of the
stand, the station is experimenting
with what is termed release thinning,
cutting out considerable quantities of
the hemlock and thereby freeing the
white pine. 1t is hoped that it will
be possible thus early in the life Of the
forest to accomplish less extensively
what must otherwise be done at ma
turity at high cost.

traceable directly to malnutrition.
High school students especially
need variety in foods for at this
age their growth is rapid. The pro-

high school pupils are apt to display
q preference for chocolate sodas.
cream puffs and candy. An appetizing
luncheon put up at home is much
to be preferred to the sort the boy or
girl might obtain at the corner store
near the school.
Meat is all right for the school
luncheon but 1t should be put up in
tempting form. If sliced thin it is
more appetizing in sandwiches than
if in thick pieces. Beverages or soup
may be carried in thermos bottles
but the bottles must be carefully
washed and aired daily after using.
Milk is recommended for an impor-
tant place in the boys or girls diet be-
cause of its proteins, minerals, phos-
phorus and calcium, necessary for the
development of the body and in the
case of calcium and phosphorus for
the building of bone and teeth. Evap-

Scarlet Fever

Within the last year much that is
of value has been added to our knowl-
edge of scarlet fever. Drs. George
F. and Gladys H. Dick of Chicago
seem to have shown that a certain
kind of streptococcus is the germ
which causes this disease. 1t is pres
ent in the Threats of those who have
scarlet fever, and gives off a poison
(toxin) which is absorbed into the
system.
The discovery of the germ which is
the cause of any of the infectious
diseases is of tremendous value. 1t
leads to study of the characteristics
of the germ and the means by which
it is conveyed from one person to an
other. In some instances, tests for
susceptibility, methods of immunizing
the individual against the disease,
and even curative measures, have re-
sailed from such a discovery.
The Dick Test
One of the positive results of the
study of the streptococcus of scarlet
fever is skin test for susceptibility.
This is known as the Dick test, and
consists in the injection of a minute
amount of the toxin of the strepto-
eoccus into the skin. Within a few
hours an area of redness appears at
the point of injection in those who
are susceptible. Experiments with the
test seem to show that it is about
reliable as the Schick test for dip
iberia, which it resembles.
Pursuing their studies still further,
Drs. Dick has attempted to work out
a method of immunizing those who
are found to be susceptible. They
seem to have met with considerable
success. They inject small amounts
of toxin at intervals Of about five
days, somewhat similar to the way
in which toxin-antitoxin is given to
prevent diptheria.
While these things may still be con-
sidered in the experimental stage,
their perfection is only a matter of
time. They will enable us to prevent
a disease, which, besides being danger
Gus in itself, often gives rise to kid
ney and heart disease in children.

been thrown open to settlement, an
event of less than so years ago.
In 1885 descriptive aticle on Mon
tana says: '1n the dry climate of
Montana neither farming or garden
ing can be done without irrigation as
general rule" and adds that "settl-
ers have flocked in to cultivate the
rich valleys and garden spots among
the foothills"
The fertility of Montana soil was
reckonized even in Flathead and John
w. Eddy was quoted as authority for
statement that Montana contains TO-
100000 acres of land Suitable for
agriculture and grazing"
It also had already been noted that
the Piegan and Blackfoot reserva-
tions," to the north of the Missouri oc-
cupies a vast expanse of choisest
lands, and the Milk river portion of it
being similar in topography and in the
richness of the soil to the Red River
valley of the north.
"It's altitude" the article continues,
''is lower than the valleys to the south
and it would seem that its crop pro-
ducts would be less subject to the
blighting influences of frost.

rent-the chinook undergraduates

and as result it's winters are many
degrees milder than in those portions

But gariculture in Montana, outside
of the valleys watered by some stream
was purely matter of speculation in
1885.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Appendicitis in Children

Mrs. A. W. asks: as it possible for
child of five years old to have appen-
dicitis? If a child of that age ever
does have appendicitis, is it necessary
to have it operated upon?"
Reply-It is possible for Appendix
citis to occur in child five years old,
and even much earlier than that.
Operation is the only safe and ac-
cepted method of treating appendicitis
in any case.
Marrying of Cousins
Mrs. G. L. writes 81 know that
there is considerable prejudice against
cousins marrying. The general idea
seems to be that the offspring will be
mentally or physically defective just
because the parties to the marriage
happen to be cousins. Is there any
foundation in fact for this widespread
belief"
Reply-1t seems to be the opinion
of students of eugenics that these
marriages are not unfavorable to the
health of the offspring. If there are
Unbeatable defects in the stock, these
may be transmitted to the offspring.
If the parties to such a marriage are
healthy, and Unbeatable disease and
defects are, absent from the stock, the
children will be healthy.
Probably Winter Itch
]. D. asks: "What causes the skin
to itch? 1t is worse at night and has
been bothering me for month or So"
Reply-A guess would be that you
have winter itch. It is caused by a
hot dry atmosphere. The cure is more
moisture in the air and cooler air.
Greasing the skin may help.
Recovery From Apoplexy
f. D. H. asks: docs anyone ever
recover from stroke of apoplexy?"
Reply-Recovery occasionally fol-
lows some of the milder attacks. If
there is much disease of the arteries,
or of the heart, the outlook for recov-
cry is not good. When one stroke has
occurred others are likely to follow.
Sweating in Arm-pits
E. G.. L. writes: 81 am considerably
troubled with sweating in the armpits,
no matter how cold it is. Can you sug-
gest anything that I could do to make
this sweating less annoying"
Reply-Use small amount of 208o
aluminium chloride solution once or
twice week.
May Require Operation
T. H. writes: II have rectal fis-
tula. Have had it for a number Of
years. Can you tell me anything that
will cure this condition? Some home
remedy"
Reply-Most cases Of rectal fstula
require an operation for their cure.

Pierre Coquard is accorded the hon
or of being the first Christian mis-
sionary to visit Montana. He was a
member of the de la Verendrye ex-
petition. Father Coquard was Jesuit
priest.
Following the expedition came the
petty French trader.
In 1923 another French expedition
found its way into the Montana ter
ritory. The enterprise was not at

Il was the north fork of the Platte.
Pike was killed in the war of 1872
as he was charging a fort that the
British were evacuating and was
therefore unable to defend his discov-
cry against either writer.
With Lewis and Clark
Sixty-fve years after the first
French exploration came Lewis and
Clark. Next came Capt. Ezekial Will
! liams in 1907, to bring back to the
Mandan Indians their chief, Big White
who had accompanied Lewis and Clark
to Washington. In 1910 came the
Wilson D. Hunt party and following
them came the traders, hunters and
trappers, who began to flock into the
Northwest and the upper Missouri
country.
Capt. Bonneville's expedition came
n 1889. These explorers came, saw,
marveled hunted and trapped and re-
turned home. Montana was "too far
from civilization. to hold permanent
settlers"
Macmillan, once emperor of Mex

describes the Bad Lands of Black Hills

The area of exploration did not
truly dawn, it is said, until 1924.
Lieutenant Donelson's party examined
the Missouri river from it's mouth to
the Yellowstone, where junction was
made with Governor Stevens party.
Captain McClellan's engineers about
the same time began examining the

U 1aney in the Anaconda Standard.
There were /, $40 Chinese. 1873 Afri-
cans, 157 Indians who had been admit

This was in 1870, following the gold
rush.
In that span of little more than half
a century, certainly miracle has been
wrought i'll the land that is now known
as the Treasure state. Fifty years
ago the production of wealth in Mon
tana, aside from the gold dust sent out
spasmodically by the placer miners,
was practically nil. Now this state is
producing wealth at the rate of $780,
100000 year.
In 1885, with Butte already winning
its way as the greatest mining camp,
Anaconda established and Gallatin
county beginning to refer to itself as
"The Egypt of America" Montana s
population numbered only $4,000
souls, or one to every square mile of
territory, and these figures include
1,765 Chinese, 1868 Indian citizens
and BAG Africans.
Montana today has an estimated
population of $4,000. This former
home of the savage red man, the griz-
ly and the buffalo, has increased it's
population over 400 per cent in "A
years.
The character of it's citizenship is
reflected in the educational statistics
which show that the per centage of IL
literacy is only 2.3 per cent, and the
percentage among native whites" is
only threa-tenths Of l per cent.
The public school enrolment Of the
1920 census showed a total of $4,000,
or nearly 25 per cent of the entire
population of the state.
Earliest Explorations
While Montana is a new country in
the matter of development of it's re-
sources and is referred to as the "last
stamping ground of the spirit of the
great west" it has excited the imagi-
nations of both French and Spaniards
long before the American colonies had
declared their independence.
1t is set forth historically that Ca
beza de Vaca, two soldiers and Ste
phen the Moor-the same Stephen
who was slain by the Indians while
guiding another Spanish exploration
party to the "seven golden cities of
Cibula "-set out in 1888 and pene-
trated to what is now known as the
South Saskatchewan and Sun rivers,
and beyond the Missouri and the yell
lowstone.
The Spanish are said to be accorded
the distinction of having first explor-
ed western Montana. To the French
is due the credit for the eastern ex-
plorations.
