TIMBER LANDS INWESTERN
MARYLAND AREEXPANDING
State Has More Kinds of Trees
than Are to Be Found In Any
Other Commonwealth

Western Maryland plays a leading
role, says State Forester F. W. Bes-
ley, in the State program to increase
timber resources.
Because Maryland today is depend
ent upon outside sources, mostly in
the South, for 80 per cent of her tim
Der supply, the Southern states will be
out of the exporting class at the pres
ent rate of cutting in ten years, and
forests in Maryland should be devel-
oped, Mr.. Besley declared recently.
Under private ownership the forest
lands of Maryland are not providing
more than third of the crop they
are capable of producing under scien-
tiic management, but if the 2,228,000
acres of Maryland forest land were
fully productive, it would furnish the
States full timber requirements, or
value equivalent based on present
uses, he stated.
private initiative has failed and
Will NOlIClllUC W 1elll W Iltct Jul
Der requirements. 1t is the duty of
the State to lead the way in safe
guarding our future timber supplies.
State forests are the answer and
should at least constitute 10 per cent
of the total forest area. The bulk of
this area will be in the mountainous
section of Western Maryland, though
considerable land should be acquired
in Southern Maryland and on the
Eastern Shore as demonstration for
ests," said Mr.. Besley.
Among the points stressed by the
State Forester were: State forests
serve as timber growing areas in US
ing land unfit for other purposes
which private owner is unable or I'M
willing to hold for future timber
crops; state forests serve to stabilize
and maintain wood using industries
and the prosperity of local commune
ties on a sustained yield basis; they
serve as areas for camping and other
recreational uses; for enjoyment by
people of the State, as protection for
ests for conserving stream flow due to
maintaining perpetual forest cover,
as a shelter and breeding place for
game, portions of the forests to be re-
served as game refugees, use not in
consistent with timber growing; and
also they serve as demonstrations Of
practical forest management.
Maryland has gone farther than
any other State to help private own
ers of forest land but this is INSULT
cient; there must be State forests,
Mr. Besley declared.
In the past % years the land in
State forests has grown from 1000
acres to 5000 acres and is easily
adaptable for successful growth Of
timber, Mr.. Besley said. In the State
there are 1877 distinct varieties of ma
i've tree species, more than in any
other state; the land is near sections
where timber is most needed, and
there are splendid facilities for trans
porting it. 50 that the plans for more
extensive state forests are especially
feasible. The forest fire problem was
spoken of, including fire protection for
which u fire lookout towers have been
located in the State and over500 for
est wardens are appointed. The plan
Of the forestry department is not to
Ego into the sawmill industry" but to
furnish stumpage and take over for
est lands for the purpose of making
them yield to their fullest extent.

The Cause of Wrinkles

Colonel Bell completed his arduous
weeks work when he got a picture of
Bill Gibson yesterday morning which
shows him in a jovial mood as he
thinks of the ease with which he or
ganizes the bowling league. "No wor-
ries at ALL" Bill had to say. But this
was followed by such streak of
"blue lightning" that Scoop was made
to believe that the smile on his face
was a forced one.

Dave Walter already has fiat tire
from overwork-can be seen limping
most any time.
Howard Stuck missed his coffee and
doughnuts two mornings in succession
this week at Glotfelty's restaurant.
Alva Gortner promises to be down
town at seven o'clock on the morning
of celebration. This alone is sufficient
to term the carnival a success in adj
vance, but Alva doesn't say what time
he'll be down the morning following.
Judson Loar refused to divulge the
secret of how he is to appear in the
mummers parade, but he'll be there
just the same, otherwise the parade
will be flop. 1t is rumored, however,
that he is going to compete with
Charley Sprague for the fat mans

No Decrease.

While Scoop doesn't mean to dis
courage the use of traffic lights in
Oakland in any manner, still it is
known fact that insurance companies
have not reduced their rates on the
chances of a pedestrian crossing the
street at any one Of the three places
where these lights are located on the
Oakland streets during a Saturday

OSTRACIzE RECKLESS DRIVERS
An authority on traffic problems

An authority on traffic problems
says:
Every traffic accident is a symp-
tom of something wrong. Something
wrong with the driver, the pedes-
trian, the street or highway, the
control system, the vehicle, the or
dinance, the police department, or
the community. In cities, two-thirds
of the victims of fatal motor vehicle
accidents are pedestrians. Our great
est problem is to define clearly the
proper use of streets by vehicles and
by pedestrians and the obligations of
each to the other"
He urges can organized campaign
of ostracism of the motorist who en-
dangers self and every one through
non-observance of traffic signals,
boulevard stop signs and the like,
and who is generally the same fell
low that pulls across the crosswalk,
makes elderly people jump out of his
way, splashes mud on pedestrians
and generally behaves himself like
a hog"
He says public officials promote
violation of traffic signals, when
they put signals "at places where
they are not needed, run them at
times when they are not needed or
run them on too long a cycle"
Milford chronicle., 1928-05-25
LOGICAL RESULT OF
SCIENTIFIC EXPANSION

A feature of the electric light and
power industry which is too often
overlooked, is that rates for service
have steadily declined below the
pre-war level. Few lines of bust
ness or industry can point to such a
record, although fire insurance is a
neck and neck competitor for the
honOrs.
That electric rates continue to de-
cline is evidenced by press dispat-
ches in the newspapers. Random re-
ports during April show voluntary
electric rate reductions from cities
in California, Massachusetts, Ver-
mont, Ohio and other States. In
nearly all instances the reduced
rates followed interconnection or
consolidation of existing plants or
the enlargement of central station
equipment.
The charges that the growth of the
power industry is menace to the
consumer do not seem to be borne
out by the facts. The whole power
industry seems to be working on the
principle that a reasonable rate re-
suits from maximum production.
When a saving in operation costs is
made through engineering improve
ments or enlargement of facilities,
that saving, over and above a fair
return, is passed on to the consum-
er.
This is the logical outgrowth of
the customer and employee owner
ship plan of financing public utili-
ties. The stockholders naturally de-
sire an assured fair return on their
money; and, being consumers of the
product of the companies they have
helped finance, they are equally &C.
sirous of securing fair rates for ser
vice. This combination of consumer
and investor in one person has
brought about a spirit of fairness,
and efficiency in util-
ity management that is hard to
equal.
These facts should be borne in
mind when thoughtless or ill-consid-
cred attacks are made on the electric
industry. Even though such attacks
are groundless, they tend to frighten
the investor and discourage utility
companies in making extensions, i'm
and consultations, with
resulting loss to the consumer.

CONSERVING OUR
OIL RESOURCES

Operation of the law of supply and
demand will probably do more than
anything else to effect conservation
in use of our petroleum resources.
Fuel oil is now a competitor of
crude oil as raw material for pro-
duction of gasoline. Restriction in
consumption of fuel oil as fuel, and
promotion of its diversion to super
ior uses, chief among which will be
gasoline, is forecast by authorities.
An oil famine is not imminent, but
prudence must always envisage pos
sibility of an oil shortage. When the
peak of production is finally reach
ed, a more or less sharp decline may
be expected, modified somewhat by
the degree of efficiency in produc-
ton methods then attained, and by
the prices then in force. Increase
in price, which will come with any
diminishing supply, will have con-
serving effect on consumption and
tend to reduce demand.
In the meantime, the oil industry
must be allowed and encouraged to
effect such cooperative combina-
tions as will prevent undue waste of
petroleum resources caused by fore
ed competitive over production.
