GOV. SMITHS CAL TRAIN, ENROUTE TO OKLA HOMA CITY, Sept. 20, Happy with the recollection of another hectic meeting and greeting in his campaign which was carried well into the night through the Kansas Farm Belt. Gov, Alfred E. Smith is today in another border State, Oklahoma, prepared for a second formal bid for the Presidency.
 At Oklahoma City, the nominee has made up his mind on the line of attack he will follow in his second speech in the West, hay ing worked well into the night on his advance manuscript, be- tween welcoming demonstrations at more than a dozen Kansas cities, including the home town of Senator Charles Curtis, Re publican Viee-Presidential nom inee.
 Just what Gov. Smith plans to say has not been announced. There are indications that he intended to make stand, one of the most important on his Western tour. and will probably take a shot at party bolters and countering against critics of his. public record and religious ques- tion, on the lips of many, as his, possible theme.
 Travles in State
 On his present trip in the Middle West, Gov. Smith and his party is travelling in state. The luxurious eleven-ear train is equipped for the comfort and convenience of not only the Cow ernor and his party, but all who accompany him.
 For the 35 newspaper cores pondents, the largest number ever assigned to accompany a Presi- dential candidate, and the eight or ten photographers, three com partment sleeping cars are pro yided as well as a club car equipped with showers, and a barber shop, special newspaper workroom for the reporters with tables and typewriters and a diner.

EDITORS NOTE: This Is the eighteenth of a series of ctories on the political situa- tion in the various states.)
By RALPH WHEATLEY GA. p. Correspondent)

NEW ORLEANS. gapt. 20.-- Down at the crossroads of Louisi- ana folk are talking about this presidential campaign as they have never done before.
 Right heated the talk is, too, and woe to an outsider if he tries to tell them how they should vote on election day.
 This campaign strikes home to these people. Here is where Her. bert Hoover came with a helping hand when these homesteaders faced doom from high waters; but they always have been Democratic and the thought of deserting their old party gives them sad pains.
 With these two emotions in full swing, leaders of both parties are moving around like house afire to drive in their wedges. Both declare in stenatorian tones that they see victory ahead. They are riding high and handsome and claiming everything in sight. Just what they really believe is hard to fathom.
 But it matters little what they believe. In this state, this elec- ton will be decided around the hearth-stone on local and personal issues. And there are plenty of issues.
 Religious Issue
 There is the religious issue with south Louisiana strongly Catholic and north Louisiana heavily Prot estant. The politicians say reli- zion is not an issue in this cam paign. They say Prohibition is not an issue either. but lot of folks in southern Louisiana like a. little dram, while upstate most of them are white ribboners po- litically. Democratic bosses are telling the north-state populace that Alfred E. Smith will enforce the Prohibition laws and all other laws. while the Republican herd CTS are telling the south-staters that Hoover is not fanatical dry.
 And they have dragged in the race issue by the. tail, They are pointing to Hoover's order abolish ing race segregation in the Depart ment of Commerce and are whoop- ing up the old battle cry, ."keep the white race white" Elect the man who saved your homes." is the counter attack of the Re- publicans.
 "He didn't save us, he threw us down." yells back a fervid Democrat.
 Tariff-Sugar
 Then they pass on to the tariff Off there in the sugar country the farmers have run both parties up tree. They will continue to have a tariff on sugar. There is no question about that. The Re- publicans are telling them they will give a higher tariff, while the Democrats pledge better tariff than the Republicans. So there you are. The same holds good for the rice planters in the Teche country.

boy also has two more steers to be
disposed of and stock men are look

Goecke's animal is a Hereford

j. c. Penney Company of New

paid in 1926, was SO a pound.
The youthful owner saw his pet
which he had raised from a calf.

meant he would receive more than
$4,000. The awarding of the grand

MORE PUBLICLY
OWNED FOREST LAND
rContinred from frM 1aael

Federal Government solely, the chief
forester declares. Some of the
Eastern States are assuming sub
stantial responsibility for the main
tenance of forest conditions through
land acquisition. Protection forests
should receive the consideration of
almost every State east of the
plains, Major Stuart says. They
may also be made heavily timber
producing, as Pennsylvania is max
ing hers. If State forests are care
fully bought and skillfully managed
they should prove source of net
revenue, and always can be made to
render other important public SER
vices as recreational areas, pro-
tectors Of scenic values, and pro-
ducers of game and other wild life.
A significant development which
the chief forester reports is the
changing attitude of private timber
land owners toward forestry. Tim
ber growing is no longer regarded
as something outside the range OF
business consideration. Although
private forest management can not
at best extend either fast enough
or far enough to afford by itself a
solution of the eastern forest prob
lem, it must be encouraged by pub
lie effort, says Major Stuart. Con-
ditions must be made more favorable |
for its extension, for what is at |
stake is the efficient economic use |
and continuous prOductiveness OF |
1856 100000 acres of privately-owned |
forest land in the Eastern States
alone
Things necessary to hasten pri-
Vate application of forestry are
pointed out by the chief forester as:
Security against excessive taxa
ion. efficient systems of protection
against fire, public research and
demonstration of usable practices,
md consistent, steady education to
vim the acceptance of such prac-
ices. These are all public func-
ions in which the Federal Govern
nent hopes to lead the way.
Fire control is basic, Major Stu !
rt says. Until fire is systematic
lily kept out of the woods all at
empts at permanent use of the
and for timber growing must be
bOrtive.
The greatest deficiency, however,
4 the East is in the share taken by ,
he private owner. Eastern forest
wners are doing far less than
-estern owners to protect their
lnds from fire, probably mainly $
ecause of the lower property risk
lvolved. Western timberland own {
rs last year put up toward the COST e
f fire protection under State au- '
lority 81 for every SO disbursed
Y the State and Federal Govern
ents combined, while Eastern i
vners put up only 50 for every ?
8 of State and Federal funds. "

some big disaster take place, caus-
ing the death of hundreds, and no
