found to be greater on the open

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 guam
tity, steadier, and distributed
throughout 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 a
considerable influence in the reg
ulation of streamfow, 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 limited area the
removal of the forest cover from
one of the slopes had such mark
ed effect, says the Forest Service,
the influence of forests over large
areas in maintaining more uniform
stream-fow must be regarded as
an exceedingly importan one

Investigations Shows Forest
Soils Absorb More Water
Comprehensive Study is Being
Made in Effort to Check
River Flood Waters

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 declared, it is i'm
portant that this fact he consid-
cred and that the scientific data
on the relation of forests to soil
water be thoroughly reviewed.
Notable among the studies which
have demonstrated the absorptive
and retaining power of areas COW
cred with forest, is the investiga-
ton 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, Del
aware County, Iowa. Two of these
sites had heavy timber growth,
with a good layer of forest litter
and decaying 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-covered area as well as
both maximum and minimum con-
tents were above those for soils on
the unprotected area. The soils on
the timber covered area were of
a more sandy nature than those on
the unprotected area in the sites
selected. The greater absorptive
power of the soils in the area COW
cred with timber was apparent,
while the run-uff of rainfall was

Butter Market Stronger
In Chicago Than Week Ago
Eggs Advance One Cent Per Doz-
en-Poultry Drops Three Cents
Per Pound

Reports on butter receipts and
production indicate that the vol
ume is decreasing. Pasture condi-
tons in some sections are showing
the effects of lack of rainfall
which will further decrease pro-
duction, more than would be con-
sidered seasonable for this time
of the year.

crease of half cent a pound since
Monday. y
The production of fresh eggs at
present is light and receipts at
Chicago, New York, Boston, and
Philadelphia show further decrease
as compared with previous week
and same time year ago. Storage
stocks are being used to make up
the deficiency in supply to take
care of the consuming demand.
Chicago market today on fresh
egg nrstS is Z9 to 81 cents, an adj
vance as compared with 27h to %
cents week ago.
There is little change in the
general situation in the live poul-
try markets today. Receipts have
been slightly heavier than antici-
paued and trade has been slow, re-
sultlng in lower quoted markets.
Chicago live fowl today: Is to
20@ cents, representing decrease
during the, week of approximately
three cents. Spring chickens today

FORT WAYNE BASKETERS
TO PLAY HERE TONIGHT

strong offensive punch Shimek Is
among the best scoring guards in the
league.
The veteran, Ralph Miller. guard;
Pip" koehler, former Penn state
College star. plays guard or forward,
and Milas Shoun, rookie center,
standing feet@2 inches TALL will COM
prise the visitors reserve corps. They
also will have a bench manager in
Frank Morganweck, pioneer of the
game and producer of many champion
ship pro quints in the past. Morgan
week was signed two weeks ago when
Fort Wayne met unexpected reVerses
in Western competition. He is the
only experienced bench manager in
the league.
Rorgmann and Willie McF,lwain will
start at forwards for the Hoosiers,
Chadwick will he at center, and Bob
Griebe and Shmek will hold down the
guard positions.
Should Washington's starting line
up fail to keep step with or take the
lead against the visitors early in the
game. Kennedy is likely to insert the
speedy youngster, Howard Meyers, at
either guard or forward. Meyers
fleetness OF foot enables him to create
openings in the opposing teams de-.
Tense and al the same time makes him
able to play p running defense game.
An indication of the strength of
Fort Wayne was given last Tuesday,
when MorGanweck's boys tripped the
champion New York Celtics with a
siX-point decision. The won and lost
record Of the Hoosiers is not so inn
pressive-six victories against FIVE de
feats-but the fact that they could
soundly beat the champions should
shadow all doubt that they are not a
strong opponent for any club. They
will not only be seeking to improve
their position in the standings at
Washington expense, but they will
be trying to win their first game on
the local floor, as the District pros
always have turned them back in the
past.
A preliminary game starting at Z
o'clock will open the program. To-
! morrow night will be ladies' night,
with free admission to the fair fans
who have been taking advantage of
the local clubs generous policy in in
creasing numbers this season.
