DARING TREE FIxERS


 story of how structural steel work CTS in the city have been thrilling beholders with their exploits; but. % the story ran, they sometimes lose their nerve and ever thereafter they no longer can risk following their dtxxy employment and are forced to remain on terra firma.
 Much as we admire the nerve of the structural steel workers, much as we are fond Of gasping at their stunts atop steel beams juttins into space, we intend to leave little room in the mental repository for the exploits of the tree trimmers. officially called 'foresterA" who have been playing monkey shines with the high trees along West Main street. We say monkey shines by way of indicating that monkeys. which are born tree climbers. could scarce ly do any better than these hardy men who sit themselves upon | limb overhanging the street, some- times perching 50 or 70 feet above the hard pavement"
 A steel worker, when he does his stuff on . steel beam. knows at least that the steel is not likely to break under his puny weight: he knows that the chains, the braces and all the other para phernalia link ed up with the job are not in the habit of pulling apart and prccipi- tatins him to the ground. The forester" however. can never tell when the branch of . tree he h sitting on-perhaps 10 or 20 feet from the tree trunk--may snap. Especially is this possibility turned 1 into q frequent probability when it ! is considered that the object of hay. ins such foresters in the trees is the fact that there are rotten limbs ts be shorn of their presence.
 True, the men who earn pre- carious livelihood in this manner co to certain extremes in insuring safe. ty. For instance. they first tie a rope around their bodies and this is at. tached to . branch higher up thaA the one on which they may be at. ting. Thus. if the branch bearing their weight happens to break, they at least will not fall to the ground all that happens is . lurch, and then maybe the other branch te which the rope is attached will hold fast to the tree. Merely to contem. plate the situation is enough tl make one dizzy.
 The tree fxers have been busl along this street for several weeks pursuant to the desire of the board of public works to make the streeI safe for passersby. especially dur. ing windy days. Also, it is the de sire. to improve the fine trees bJ eliminating senile limbs, which ar, doing no good. and trimming tn, branches otherwise. Hence this siel is used to warn motorists: "Mei working on trees. Limbs cominl down. Please obey sisnals.-H. Gilbert, tree expert. Danielscn Conn"
 Mir. Gilbert is the contra ctor whose job it is to make the Yves Main street trees more beautiful than ever His men surely must D. among the most expert and dare devil sort in Connecticut Yet. on tn, whole. they are not as nervou when pcrched on high as the spec tators.

observe DR.. Knapp's first act was
70 take counsel with farmers, bank

spectacular achievement was in CIV
ing this critical period a new tech

demonstration method. and immeCi-
ately he drew the agricultural class
closer TO the stimulating influence Of
our high schools and colleges. And
we have sufficient evidence to prove
that this new method has been EN-
ployed with abundant success for in
~crcasing production and In reducing
unit cost Of production, but we also
have evidence that it has not yet
been applied 10 any appreciable ex-
tent To working out proper cooper
alive units and in introducing . mod
ern technique Of business manage
ment. Cooperation Of farmers is es-
sential III they would receive the larg-
est results from application of the
demonstration method 10 production.
But cooperation Of farmers and bank

essential 10 secure the largest results

OF the farmers with related business
organizations"

HOUSTON, Tex, Feb. E.-tREThe
farmer still is laboring under a de-
fusion that some day, BnaIded BY
merchants, bankers and others, ne
may be able to control his products,
+. {. Brooks, president Of the North
Carolina state college, Raleigh. ~. g.,
said in an address prepared for de-
livery here tonight before the Asso-
citation Of Southern Agricultural
Workers.
Ag~riculturists, ne said. need to ro-
dedicate themselves TO the demon
stration method Of teaching economic
and Of teaching business manage
nsent that there may be a better flow
Of money to 30 per cen of the na-
tons customers.
Quoting from the late DR.. Seaman
A. Knapp, "We then learned the
philosophy and power OF agricultural
demonstration" President Brooks de-
clared those words epitomized the
effect Of a new teaching, which. as
applied 20 agricultural instruction,
covers a period Of rs years.
Taking North Carolina az an Illus
tration of the progress under instruc-
ton, Mr.. Brooks said farmers in that
state today is cultivatIug BY the use
Of machinery four and a half more
acres of land than twenty years ago;
he IS producing SO per cent more
corn, 20 per cen more cotton, is
per cent more tobacco, ll0 per cent
more wheat. a. per CEN more rye. -
per cent for ats. 30 per cent more
Irish potatoes and 20 FER cent more
sweet potatoes per acre. This. he BE-
lieved, represented the progress OF
the entire country.
ain other words the address con-
tinued, "the average man on the farm
has more than doubled his productive
power within 4 generation and IL il
were necessary IN order to feed and
clothe our population, he could double
il again with Just a little more en-
phasis on the demonstration method"
Agricultural distress is apparent
today, but il is no new problem, Mr..
Brooks said. During the first dec
AIDES of our nations history our peo-
pie. surrounded then by an abundance
of new land and rich soil. were in
distress because OF unsatisfactory
prices and fear Of famine, and their
fears were supported by economic
theorists-the Malthusian doctrine,
for example. But p years after in
PRODUCTION Of DR.. knapp's new meth
cd. our people, surrounded by a sur
plus, are again in distress. But this
time they are afraid Of o~verproduc-
tion sGd these fears are supported by
political theorists, and an extra ses-
sion Of congress will perhaps be
called TO consider farm relief.
Government today is directly or
Indirectly aiding business, supporting

cultural extension safeguarding

ing mean Of transportation, and in
many other ways promoting a social

conception of government is quite n
