BURNING FARM WOODS
CALLED GREAT MISTAKE
U. S. Experts Declare It Rarely
Pays to "Burn Over"
Lands,

1t rarely ever pays, the United
States Forest Service says, to burn
over farm woodlands in the belief that
it will encourage the growth of grass
and make pasture better.
Fires burn the fallen leaves and ac-
cumulated litter of several years, thus
destroying the material with which
trees enrich their own soil. The soil
thus becomes exposed, evaporation is
greater and more of the rain and
melted snow runs off the surface. The
roots of the trees also may be burned
or exposed. Vitality of the trees is
weakened and their rate Of growth
decreased.
Fires commonly kill a great num-
Der of seedlings up to 1 inch in diam
eter. These are called "hrush," but
the brush of today will be the big
timber trees of the future.
Very severe fires kill some of the
larger trees and burn through the
bark of others, lowering the value of
the butt log for lumber. The wounds
afford a ready entrance for rot-pro-
ducing diseases.

However, no one can assert that the

Forests may not take the place
of dams and levees, but it is true
they supplement the engineers work

CONGRESS BY RADIO.
IS HEFL|N'S IDEA.
Question of Broadcasting De-
bates Expected to Come Up
Next Session.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Senator Hefiin of Alabama is re-
sponSible for the suggestion that
when Congress meets again an eff
fort should be made to broadcast by
radio the proceedings of both the Sen
ate and the House.
Mr. Heflin has been touring the
country. making speeches on various
questions, and he is shocked at the
ignorance of the people about what
Is going on in Washington. Mr.. Helm
points out that other things, mainly
crime and general happenings, crowd
the news columns of the newspapers
and the government doesn't get what
he thinks is q proper proportion.
Strictly speaking, Mr.. Helm thinks
the speeches of members of Congress
would get over to the people better
by the radio than any other means.
Better at Night.
Mr.. Heflin was reminded that broad
casting during daylight hours Is not
usually so good for atmospheric
reasons as at night and that more
people have the opportunity to listen
after dinner than throughout the day,
whereupon he countered with the sug-
gestion that Congress could easily ad-
Just itself to the situation by having
many night sessions.
To get space on the air at night,
however, Congress- would have to dis
place the regular musical programs,
for which so many listeners-in have
expressed a preference. There is also
some question, however, as to !
whether, if the project were seriously
undertaken by Congress, a separate
wave-lens,th could be provided that at
least would give an opportunity for
selection to those who wanted to lis
ten to Congress instead of music.
In this connection, the question of
whether the radio makes votes or
aiienates them is still unanswered by
the politicians.
Some Oppose BrOadcasting.
Some of the Democrats say that the
broadcasting of the wrangles at the
last Democratic national convention
at Madison Square Garden did more
to drive votes away from the Demo |
Gratis than toward them. and it is be-
inal seriously advocated now that if
tho next national convention should
sh1w signs of repeating the last eX
pehence. there will be a quick switch
ind back to radio studios, where music
ana other entertainment will be sand
withed in to avoid the monotony of
pr nonged balloting.
as for the broadcaSting problem in
CdIhgress, that body would have to
decide first of all whether the Senate
