Mr.. Adams declared last night he
has laid plans for approaching numer-
GUS individuals and organizations who
would be in a position to spend about
$50 900 for the design and construc-

the name of American aviation, to de-
fend the cup against foreign compe-
tition.
The Navy, which won the award at
Cowes, England, in 1928 for the first
time and since has occupied the role
of defender, has withdrawn from the
contest this year owing to the lack
of funds for the construction of newer
craft, Secretary Wilbur has an

Norfolk last November by Italy's

weeks, James w. Brobin who has
been engaged with the Duluth &

gripped him several weeks ago. Sur
wving him are his widow and two
sons who make their home on White

The funeral took place Tuesday

funeral. Rev. J. C. Mapson of Du-
luth, formerly of this city, an old
friend of the family conducted the
services assisted by Rev. H. R.

TREES ON POOR LAND

Lands that are too poor or too
rough for cultivation should not be
entirely cleared of their timber, but
shuold be maintained for contin-
uous crop of trees Thes, low grade
farming lands belong in the natural
area of permanent forest. Most Of
them are lands too stony or boo
sandy for present day farming.
Minnesota has recently tak.n a
decided forward step towards estab-
fishing a system that promises well
in encouraging owners of non-agri-
cultural land 10 produce trees there
on. The state constitution has been
so amended as to allow the legisla-
ture to enact laws to shift the bur-
den of taxation from these lands to
the timber products grown on them
so that the owner may anticipate
reasonable profit when his timber
crop is harvested The Minnesota
legislature has made good start
along these lines and has passed laws
to remove some of the existing
handicaps.
So far as the United States is con-
cerneds the days of tn: saw timOer
are numbered. But with intelligent
handling of our natural forest areas
there is no reason why ample woods
products cannot be grown on our
own lands and our wood working in
dustries kept plentifully supplied.
It is necessary for the American
people to become forest-ninded, and
future success or failure depends
upon the attitude assumed by our
citizens towards this problem. That
the problem is vitality important is
evidenced by the necessity for set
ting aside by Presidential Proclama-
tion one week each year, to be desig-

Oregon cherry growers demand a
tariff increase to protect their fruit
against foreign competition. The
political farmer says the tariff is the
farmers enemy; claiming that it
keeps out the low-priced things he
could buy abroad to run his farm
for less money. The practical
farmer, however, says that the tariff
offers protection and equalization
against cheaper labor and lower liv-
ing scale abroad. Those who take
the trouble to study the tariff sched-
ule find that it admits duty free

ties required to operate farm.

The American Forest Week COM
mittee has designated State Chair
men in each of the as states and
Alasvka, who are directing the work
of organization for state wide observ-
ance in each State.
american Forest Week is all in
elusive" says the Forest Week COM
mittee, 'for its purpose is to give
opportunity for every form of inter-
est in trees and forests to find ex-
preston, each in its own way. The
end that it aims at is that the gem
eral welfare may be promoted by the
taking Of common counsel, the
formation of intelligent public opin-
ion, and the stimulation of action,
individual and collective, under the
impulse thus given.
american Forest Week is not a
tool for advancing the views or
serving the prpose of any special
group or organization. It does not
identify itself. with any particular
measure or program, but seeks to
make known facts and to promote
discussion from every angle. 1t has
no goal other than that which a
rightly informed public opinion may
of itself set up and seek. 1t is strictly
and wholly educational in plan and
purpose
The idea of devoting seven days
in the year to forestry education
originated on the Pacific Coast in
1920, and the week became national
in scope in the following year when
President Harding issued the first
proclamation which brought the Fed
eral Government behind the idea.
President Coolidge in turn gave the
plan his sanction, and presidential
proclamations have now been issued
for seven consecutive years. Last
year the authorities of the United
States and Canada, in view of the
international aspect of the forestry
fproblem, jointly agreed that the
week should be celebrated concur
rently in the two countries, and
Canada Sunday commencing what it
calls it's annual "Save the Forests
Week." the observance Of which is
essentially of the same character as
in the United States.
Although the subjece of forestry
covers a wide field and the develop
ment of Americas forest resources
presents many problems theprincipal
ideas which are being emphasized
during the present week are the
protection of the forests from fire
and other devastation d the need
of reforestation and scientific tim
Der management to restore and
maintain in productive condition
the vast areas of cut-over, burned
ever, and idle land which at present
is making no contribution to the
wealth or future timber supply of
the country. It is being pointed out
that farm forestry offers means by
which many farmers not only can
contribute to the>development of for
est resources but can find profit
able use for their poorer land acre
age, a paying crop in timber, and a
means of diversifying their crops to
relieve agricultural depression due

DENTON DISTRICT LEADS IN
TILLAGE ACREAGE FOR CROPS

The Denton territory, including Alton,
Hoosac, and Bear Springs communities,
Coffee Creek, and the Salt Greek COM
munities, have the highest acreage of
dllago for cash crops In Fergus county,
according to the findings of the grain and
forage committee previous to the county
economic conference this month, says
County Agent Dan Ii. Noble.
These results are particularly interesting
because the highest average acre yield of
wheat has been reported from this same
territory for the past three years. Also 1t
is In that section where the highest acre
profit IL made from wheat production. More
interesting, further, is that the per cent Of
acre indebtedness is less on crop land in
this section than any section of the county.
This per cent Is based on the acre value.
While there are individual farmers who
have adopted q high standard of summer
tiliage in other communities In the county,
the entire acreage in other sections does not
compare with that of the communities in
the Denton territory
1t Is further found that 80 per cent of
the wheat In the county is put in on either
spring or fall blowing or a poor method of
summer fallow, says Mr.. Noble.
The standard of cash crop acreage set
by farmers In these communities Is one
third good summerfallow or corn ground,
one-third into clean summerwallow stubble
and one-third being worked not In crop.
The standard method involves both early
cultivation and clean cultivation with three
distinct types showing the highest yields.
1t is believed with the experience Of the
successful wheat farmers In these sections
Of Fergus county and with those scattered
In other communities that the acreage of
standard titled wheat land will be rapidly
increased,
