Reforestation Plans
Should Interest Farmers

Prof. B. P. kirkland of the College
OF Forestry at the University of
washington who also operates fruit
and poultry ranch at Vashon Island
has pointed out the Importance of re-
forestation on the logged-off lands of
Washington to the farmers of the
state.
The timber industry" said Profess
sor Kirkland, furnished the largest
and best market for the farm produce
of the state. This is true because a
larger proportion of the people of the
state are directly dependent upon the
timber industry for livelihood than
upon any other industry, and many
industries are indirectly dependent
upon the timber resources. This may
well be illustrated by the transporta
ton industry. Sixty-five per cent of
the freight shipped out of the state
over four large transcontinental rail-
roads is composed of forest products
and 80 per cent of the boat tonnage
on Puget Sound is likewise composed
of forest products so that more than
two-thirds Of the people of the trans
portation industry are indirectly de-
pendent upon the forest When the
farmer considers the very large de-
mand for his produce from the peo-
pie who are either directly or indi-
rectly supported by the lumber indus
try he must realize that the timber
resources of this state are one of his
greatest assets in that they furnish
the very best market for his
product"
"Not only is this true" continued
Professor Kirkland, "but the farmers
are likewise interested in cheap lVm-
Der for multitude of different uses
on the farm as well as for marketing
their produce. An acre of western
Washington fruit, for example, re
quires about 5000 B. M. of logs for
Grating. An acre of western Wash
ington forest produces from 1000 to
$4,000 feet B. M. annually. Hence
balanced production between horticul
ture and forestry requires between
two and three acres of forest to each
acre of small fruit. Similar situations
might be cited with reference to the
apple industry and many other farm
products. Without sufficient forest
production Grating material and farm
timbers will become prohibitive in
price Anything which can be done
to. perpetuate forest production on
the non-agricultural lands of the state
should, therefore, receive the hearth
est support of the farmers

JAPANESE TRAFFIC RULES

While the automobiles used in
Japan are, for the most part, of Amer
lean make, existing traffic rules can
be said to be more completely JAP
anese. In one of Japan's largest po-
lice stations there is posted on a
bulletin board the following "Sugges-
tions of the Road-Tokio":
AT the rise of the hand police
man, stop rapidly.
2-Do not pass policeman or other

3-When a passenger of the foot

at him, melodiously first, but If he
still obstacles your passage, tootle

900 Listed as Alumni
of State University

University OF Idaho Moscow. A
new directory OF alumni OF the Uni
versity OF Idaho has just come from
the press and Is being distributed.
The directory contains the names OF
all graduates and former students OF
the university with, as far as pos
sible, their 1926 addresses
Nine thousand names appear in the
1926 directory - including cross-in
dexed names OF married women--and
approximately $500 addresses OF
alumni are on the list. The book con
tains ITS pages, IA more than were
necessary to publish the list three
years ago, when the last previous
directory was issued.
The directory, in former years pub
lished by the university director of
publication, was this year taken over
by the alumni secretary, George f.
Horton, and in the future will be
published by his office.
'The rapidly increasing number of
names in the alumni directory is a
measure of the growth of the Univer-
sity Of Idaho" says a brief introduce
ton.
Cooperation OF every Idahoan Is
necessary IL the directory Is to con
tinue to be success. This coopera-
ton involves no arduous duty for any
individual; IL does require simple,
faithful service by all graduates and
former students. Please look care
fully through the alphabetical index
and send In the present address of
any one whose name appears In
italics, with his occupation If pos
sibe. Send also the address of any
person for whom addresses wanted
is listed in the class lists; and make
a correction of any address that Is
incorrect or, out of date. This infor.
nation should be sent to George r.
Horton, alumni secretary. at the Uni
versity."

Article by Idaho Man
Printed by Mining Papel

University of Idaho, Moscow-A re.
cen tissue of the Engineering and

bureau Of mines and geology.
The article, which is quite extended
and is supplemented by 10 illustra.
tons, Is entitled "Some Adverse Infiu.
ences of Glaciation on Mining" 1t is
attracting considerable attention in
mining circles, since before its publ.
cation the literature OF both glacia-
ton and mining was notably barren
concerning this relationship. The
paper was an outgrowth of Professor
Kirkham's geological field study In
the glaciated areas of the Pacific
Northwest in general and Of northern
Idaho in particular.
In the article Professor Kirkham
briefly recounts types OF glaciers and
their probable history in the area. and
presents an analysis or description OF
the consequent effect Of glaciation on
the mineral industry. He describes
and illustrates four ways in which
placer deposits have been disadvan
tageously affected and six ways II
which lode deposits have been ad
versely Influenced. He discusses the
manner in which glacial deposits In

Nine-Tenths of Farms
Without Plumbing

Remember, way back, the frosty
morning wash-up in tin basin on the
back steps? Remember the swimming
hole in July, the delight you took in it,
and how you blistered your back dry
ing 1t in the sun? Remember Satur-
day night, when mother brought the
wooden wash tub and placed it near
the kitchen stove? How the tub
leaked water over the floor? How
your front toasted while your back
was cold? Remember how thoughts
Of Inconvenience and discomfort
caused you to delay or neglect per-
sonal duties?
With thousands, these things are
only memories, but with millions they
are still realities. The 1920 census
reports 643,S99 of the 6,448,S43 farms
in the United States as having water
piped into the house. This Is only
one farm out Of ten, and means that
1904 Al farms, or nine out Of ten, had
little or no plumbing. A farm home
survey by the United States Public
Health Service in IA average counties
In 13 states shows only 808 water
closets in total OF 51,853 rural homes,
and 1918 OF the homes had no privy.
Expressed in simpler form, only one
home out Of "a had water closet and
one home out Of three had no privy.
Discouraging as are those statistics,
the facts are that the American farm
er has more plumbing and better
plumbing than any other agricultural
people in the world.

THREE monuments were dedicated
L in the Pacific Northwest in July
by the Columbia River Historical Ex-
petition started from st. Paul in spe-
cial Great Northern train. The eXpedi-
ton revived the names of many daunt-
less pathfinding explorers, men and
women, who were the first to pene-
trate this section of the country.
Strange as it may seem the names of
many of these men and women that
appear craven on these shafts are not
even familiar to present-day school
children.
At Astoria, Oregon, was dedicat-
ed unique column 1875 feet high.
Spiraling upwards on it is a ribbon
like frieze upon which is carved
continuous series Of pictures depicting
events of Captain Robert Gray's dis
covery of the Columbia; Lewis and
Clark's expedition and the building
and life Of John Jacob Astor's Fort
Astoria. This resembles somewhat in
general character the Vendome Col
umn in Paris and will be the only one
of its kind in the United States.
At Wishram, Washington, the e1-
petition dedicated a monument con-
structed of blocks of basalt taken
from the cliffs that line the Columbia
River. 1t carries the following in
scription:

more years in the District Of Column
bia and elsewhere.
The Federal Government promul-
gates no plumbing regulations, codes,
ordinances, or laws applicable to the
several states or to cities, towns and
townships Local and state plumbing
regulations are intended to protect
the householder and the public and to
promote better and more orderly prac-
tees. They have all the force Of law,
and where such regulations have been
established, the householder should
make sure that his procedure is in con
formity with them. This end is most
likely to be attained by employing q
good plumber.

Use of Milk Products

Ice cream Is one OF the leading

all, sick or WE'LL old or young. From

has been found that the consumer pre-

Of serving milk and cream in a form

Is one possible way OF increasing the
