PARTY TARIFF VIEW
HIT BY DEMOCRATS
Nevada Convention Denies II
Is a Question of Parti-
san Politics.
py the Assoclnted Press.

RENO, New, June 28--Nevada
Democrats gave their party cohorts
something to talk about yesterday, fol-
lowing action at last nights State con-
vention, when, in adopting a plank in
their platform. they cut loose" from
the national party on the tariff ques-
ton.
The plank read:
THE tariff is no longer a matter of
partisan politics; it is both national and
local in character. 1t necessarily af-
fectS different States, communities and
industries in different ways. The DEM
ocratic party of Nevada, therefore, de-
clares that henceforth its representa-
tives in the Senate and Congress shall
not be bound by any party caucus on
this subject. but shall at all times be
free to vote not only for such sched-
ules as may affect the industries of the
State but also free to vote for any
tariff which will benefit the products
and industries of this State"
The convention elected former Gov.
James G. Scrugham. chairman of the
State central committee.

D. c. TRUCK Damages Bridge.

A truck belonging to the District OF
Columbia government yesterday crashed
through the bridge near the northern
terminus of Rock Greek Park, which
necessitated closing half the bridge for
repairs Until repairs can be completed,
traffic can cross it In one direction at
a time only.
The park regulations, it was ex-
planned, permit loads only up to $4,000
pounds on park bridges, but this We
hicle, with it's load, weighed $4,000
pounds. Repairs will be started imme-
diately. The truck was not precipi-
tated into the creek, the wheels only
going through the flooring.

Police said Nykiel was reputed to have
operated feet of rum boats plying the
Detroit River. and the feud had its In
ception In attempts by the combine with
which the DipiSa brothers were afi1li-
ated to cut in on the business.
One of the Dipisa brothers was shot
to death two years ago and second
was slain last year at Fan Haven. Mi

He had extensive real estate holdings.
Several buildings owned by him have

using industries of many kinds have
become accustomed to holding timber
reserves behind their plants. They
pay carrying charges on these reserve
supplies-often for 20 or 80 years
as a matter of course in order to
protect their plant investments and
hold their trade. 1t is but a slight
modification of the same principal to
carry a reserve, not in the form OF
costly old-growth stumpage, but OF
growing forests sufficient in extent to
mature from year to year to volume
of wood required for manufacture.
There are decided financial pos
sibilities in this new form of timber
reserve. A tract of virgin timber
seldom improves either in quality or
volume while it is being carried. 1t
may deteriorate in one or both. Its
value ordinarily becomes greater only
as the stumpage prices of the region
advance. But tract of growing for
est, if well protected, is attaining
higher quality and greater volume
every year. And it has the same op-
portunity as a virgin stand to share

siderable progress
DR.. Zon recommends progressive
burning of slash at the time of log
ging as the best method of slash dis
posal in the Lake States. This, he
says, often pays its own way by re-
ducing the cost of logging through
clearing the woods of brush to make
way for skidding.
These and other recommendations,
embodying what are considered the
best known methods of logging prac-
tice and timber growing in the Lake
States, are presented in new bulle-
tin by DR.. zon, just published as De-
partment of Agriculture Bulletin No
1496-D, Timber Growing and Log
ging Practice in the Lake States
This Is one of a series of bulletins
presenting the measures necessary to
keep forest land productive in the IL
principal forest regions of the Unit
ed States. In this bulletin, designed
as a practical manual for timberland
owners, DR.. Ion gives in detail the
actual methods, with costs and much
other data, calculated to make tim
Der growing profitable enterprise in
the Lake States.
In an introduction to the bulletin,
Col. William B. Greeley, chief of the
Forest Service, says:
I'VE know enough now to go right
ahead. Believing that forest land
owners in the United States are
ready now to engage in timber grow
ing on large scale, the Forest Ser
vice has endeavored to place befor
them in concise terms the best guides
which the experience of this country
to date affords.

SUSTAINED TIMBER

METHODS OF TIMBER GROWING
AND LOGGING IN THE LAKE
STATES DESCRIBED BF DR.
RAPHAEL ION OF THE LAKE
STATES STATION.

The forest problem in the Lake
States must be worked out on the
lands now in private ownership and
musG deal largely with second-growth
timber and non-reStockiny cuI-oVer
land, according to DR.. Raphael zon,
director of the Lake States Forest
Experiment Station, Forest Service,
United States Department of Agri-
culture For the industries which re-
quire timber reserves, he says, these
lands. if managed to provide grow
ing timber crop, can be made just as
valuable reserves as stands OF ma
lure timber.
1t is significant says DR.. Zon, that OF
the total area of forest lands in Wis
consin, Michigan and Minnesota, less
than 18 per cent contains old mer-
chantable timber, while 46 per cent is
in second growth and nearly SO per
cent is unproductiVe cut-over land.
The large area Of low-grade soils of
little or no prospective value for agri-
culture, the slow absorption in agri-
culture of suitable lands, the accum-
ulating taxes on unproductive stump
lands, increasing financial difficulties
of communities located in areas where
the forest industries are failing for
lack of raw material, and rising
prices for timber and pulpwood all
are causing forest-land owners in this
region to inquire more and more into
the possibilities of timber growing as
the best practicable solution.
To prevent timberland from becom-
ing barren the principal steps to be
taken are D> f1reproot1ng the woods,
as far as possible, by slash burning
or other ways of reducing the fire
danger from slash or debris left after
cutting, and CD keeping fire out Of
the woods thereafter by q protective
organization for detecting and fight
ing fires.
ANY forest-land owner, however
who Is going into the growing OF tim
Der crops will want to do more than
merely protect his cut-over land from
fire. In order to- utilize to the fullest
extent the productive capacity of his
soil This involves more or less in
tensive forest management, which, it
has been found, often pays where
crude forestry practice may not. The
basis of forest management is sus-
tanned yield, or continuous timber
production. In the practice of for
estry on this basis, cutting Is done
under the 'selective" system. by
which young reproduction is safe
guarded, and control of the most val
liable species is obtained by favoring
these and cutting out the less valua-
BILE ones. Release cuttings, trimmings,
and underplantings also are practic-
ed, and where advisable, paintings to
stock barren lands. Good forest man
agement also may involve certain
protective measures against diseases
and insects.
Prescribing what he terms "first |
aid to reforestation." DR.. Zon declares |
that fire prevention is the key to the |
situation. Slash disposal Is an ef- |
fective means Of reducing the fire |
hazard. Other first aids" are good |
logging practice-cutting to a certain
diameter limit and saving young and |
trees-and stabillza-
ton of forest taxation, in which the |
Lake States already are making con-

LET THE DAIRY COW
MARKET FEED GRAINS

The dairy cow furnishes better
market today for feed than ever be-
fore, says H. R. Searles, dairy spe-
cialist with the agricultural extension
service, University Of, Minnesota.
Mr.. Searles has been comparing
prices and finds that while the prices
of dairy feeds have increased "a per-
cent since 1914, butterfat prices have
mounted about 70 percent in the same
period.
Gin 1914, with butterfat selling at
80 cents a pound, the 3OO-pound cow
returned 800 at feed cost of $45, or
a return over feed cost of $45," says
Mr.. Searles. "In 1917, with butterfat
at 81 cents pound, the 3OO-pound
cow returned $153 at feed cost of
about $50, leaving a return over feed
cost Of $97. This cow, then, in 1927
returned $52 more over feed cost
than she did in 1914. Translated
into terms of return over feed costs,
the increase in favor of 1927 has
been around lis percent.
