Washington, Feb. 24 Rp-Resign- ing to accept a position with com- mercial lumber interests. Col. Will liam E. Greeley, for eight years chief of the United States, forest service. urges that on both public and private lands no greater amount of timber be cut yearly than the unit from which it is taken replaces through natural growth.
 Maj. R. Y. Stuart. who will suc- ceed to Colonel Greeley's post on May 1, has expressed himself as deeply interested in carrying out the colonel's view.
 Sustained yield" the resignine officer says. "is the underlying idea and essential aim of all forestry We shall not have solved our na- tional problem until the country as whole is on a sustained yield basis. with timber production bal

ancing current use"
 Colonel Greeley declares that progress in farm forestry. helped by the stimulus of the Clark-Mc- Nary law. is relatively more rapd and pronounced than in industrial forestry. and insists that in many ways timber production is taking more definite form as a farm or form community enterprise.
 Among the difficulties which now stand in the way of private forestry practice. he says. are the current depression in lumber markets, the financial obligation imposed by ex- istihg Investments in plants or tim berlands, the uncertainty as to the course of future taxation on mer. chantable timber and young growth. and the burden of raw material wastes still carried by most forest industries in the United States.

Washington. Feb. 24 P-When Uncle Sam's new season of farm movies" starts in May. rural folk again will play the leading roles.
 In 300 films on agricultural sub jects now in circulation, more than s5 per cent of the character parts were played by real farmers. Ray mond Evans, chief of the office of motion pictures. department of/ag- riculture, expects to send his cam era crows to the far west for the first work of the year. where native residents will be cast for finishing "shots" in a picture on grazing in the national forests.
 "City bred talent. even If profes- sional, has been unsuccessful in DOT trying rural types" Evans declares. "There seems to be something about the bearing and gesture of the real farmer which cannot be initiated. Theatrical characterizations authen- tic on Broadway, are laughed to scorn in the Grange hall where every observer knows precisely how true farmers look and act. They will not accept tho antics of professional creators of 'rube' types"
 Made purely for educational pur- poses. the f,lms range from micro scopic studies of organisms that caus< plant disease to panoramic views of work on improvement and conservation of land. trees and streams. Most of them are one reel in length. although tremendous pop ular demand is claimed for the two and three reel pictures in which there Is just enough dramatization Of plot to insure continuity and visual explanation.
