INSTITUTE HEARS
OF FARM ISSUES
British and italian Economic
Problems Also Aired
at WiIIiamStoWn.

WILLIAMSBURG, Mass, August
13.-Farm problems in America and
economic questions of the British en-
pire and Italy were discussed today
at the round table of the Institute of
Politics.
High land values and soil eXhaus-
ton were declared to be important
factors in agricultural depression in
this country. while phases OF the
economic situation of England ana
Italy were found to be little more
satisfactory.
Land values, which have shrunk to
but 20 per cent of their 1920 peak. are
barometers of farm purchasing power
in the Western States rather than
case of its curtailment, Henry A.
Wallace, editor of Wallace's Farmer,
declared. The speaker pointed out
that land value varies with the BUY
ing power of the farmer.
An annual loss of $500 900, 600 is in
Cured by American farmers through
their failure to return plant food to
the soil Harry G. Butcher, editor of
the Fertilizer Review, told the round
table members.
Mussolini's rule is threatened prin-
cipally by economic problems. Prof.
Henry r. Spencer of Ohio State Uni
versity told his round table. Living
costs have not been reduced, 1taly's
place in the world markets Is not be-
yond menace and the divergent inter
ests of capital and labor have not
been fused, he said.
Germany Wants Colonies.
The contiscation of Germany's col
onies through the treaty of Versailles
is felt by Germany to be an injustice
which she looks to the League of Ma
tons to rectify, DR.. Reinhold, minister
of finance in former Chancellor Lu-
theirs cabinet, told the institute. The
return of two or three colonies to Ger
many by the League would satisfy his
country. DIR. Reinhold said.
Sir Arthur Willert. head of the news
department of the British foreign Of
flee, speaking on the recent Anglo
Russian diplomatic break, declared the
break had justified the United States
policy of non-recognition.
Sees Mexican Revival.
A religious revival and a more demo
cratic Catholic Church in Mexico may
arise from the present ecclesiastical
crisis in that country. Prof. Noises
Saenz, undersecretary Of public edu-
cation in Mexico, said last night at the
institute.

that may deeply affect the
thought of the nation it may have
a mission, provided an effort is made
to broaden its own conception of

to the genius of the people of Mexico"
Prof. Saenz said a strong impetus
has been given to the entire educa-
tional program in Mexico. A strong
nationalism is arising as result of
the newly developed educational pro-
gram, Prof. SaenZ asserted.

FOREST SOILS ABSORB, HOLD
MORE WATER THAN OPEN SOIL

Soils in forested areas will alb
sorb more water and will hold it
longer than the soils in open areas
unprotected by any kind of vege-
tation, says the Forest Service. of
the United States Department of
Agriculture. In the formulation
of any comprehensive and long
term plans for the control of floods,
it is important that this fact be con-
sidered and that the scientific data
on the relations of forests to soil
water be thoroughly reviewed.
Notable among the studies which
have demonstrated the absorptive
and retaining power of areas coverd
with forest, is the investigation
made by Prof. I. T. Bode of the
Department of Forestry, Iowa State
College. Professor Bode made his
study on four small sites in the
Backbone" State Park, Delaware
county, Iowa. Two of these sites
had heavy timber growth, with a
good layer of forest litter and de-
caying leaves, while the other two
had been denuded of timber.
1t was found that the average
content of water of the soils in the
timber-coverd area as well as both
maximum and minimum contents
were above those for soils on the
unprotected area. The soils on the
timber-coyered area were of a more
sandy nature than those on the un-
protected area. The greater abb
sorptive power of the soils in the
area covered with timber was APP
parent, while the run-off of rain
fall was found to be greater on the
open slopes.
Investigations of the seepage Of
soil water on these sites showed
that this was most rapid on the
open slopes following a rain, while
the seepage was greater in quantity,
steadier, and distributed throughout
a longer period of time in the area
covered with timber.
By thus absorbing more water,
by holding it longer and by allow
ing it to seep out more gradually,
areas covered with forest exert q
considerable influence in the regu-
lation of stream-flow tending to
prevent high water and flooding
following periods of heavy rainfall
on the one hand, and drying up Of
streams during the dry seasons on
the other.
Since in even a limited area the
removal of the forest cover from
one Of the slopes had such marked
effect, says the Forest Service, the
influence of forests over large areas
in maintaining more unfit m
stream-flow must be regarded as an
exceedingly important one.

MINING COMPANIES
ASK FOR REHEARING

The ligitation involving the pay
ment of royalty taxes in Minnesota
may not be ended, as the mine OPP
orators have filed a motion for a
rehearing before the supreme court
of Minnesota. The motion is made
on the strength CT certain points
which have not been stressed by
the court, and which the operators
would like to have considered more
fully. 1t is expected that a rehear-
ing will, if granted, bring out some
further interesting and important
angles to the now celebrated royalty
tax case.

SMALL GAME
LICENSES OUT
IN ANTICIPATION OF THE
OPENING OF GAME SEASON
COM M 1 S 81 o NER COULD
SENDS BLANKS TO COUNTY
AUDITORS.

Shipment of 10000 resident
small game licenses to county audit
ors of the state was completed in
anticipation off the duck and chicken
shooting season by the Office of ].
F. Gould, state game and fish COM
missioner.
They will sell at 81 each while
500 nonresident licenses have been
prepared which cost $25 each. In
coming revenue is expected to total
$1OO, 600 at a minimum. Mr.. Gould
said.
The season on prairie chickens and
ducks opens Sept. 16. The season
on chickens together with that on
upland plover, sharptailed grouse
and mourning dove, closes at the
end of the month. Ducks, except
wood duck, together with geese,
coot, Wilson snipep gallinules and
yellow legs, can be shot from Sept.
16 to Dec. 81. Rails can be shot
from Sept. 16 to Nov. 80 under the
federal and state laws.
Because of depletion the season
on partridge and roughed grouse
has been closed by proclamation Of
Governor Christianson on recon-
mendation of Commissioner Gould.
Woodcock can be shot from Oct.
to Nov. 80, while the season on
quail will be open from Oct. Is to
Nov 20. Gray or fox squirrels can
be shot from Oct. 15 to Jan. /, 1928,
Mr.. Gould said.
The outlook for fowl shooting Is
fair, Mr.. Gould believes. Birds ap.
pear to be on the increase in some
sections, but decreases continue to
be reported in others. Disease In
many cases has proven a severe an
tagonist while bad weather during
Matching season and other factors
have contributed to counter repro
duction.
The main shooting season on
ducks, of course, will not begin with
the statutory opening Of the season,
but is dependent upon the south
