WHERE FORESTS ARE GOING

We use about twenty-three billion
cubic feet of wood every year in
the United States. This means that
about two hundred and fifty million
trees of average size must be cut
each year. This will take the trees
from about eighteen thousand five
hundred square miles, or an area
equal to Massachusetts,, Connecticut
and New Jersey.
Railroads use about hundred and
thirty million ties every year. Five
million trees have to be cut every
year for telegraph and telephone
poles. The Sunday edition of one
of Americas big newspapers will
take sixteen acres of spruce trees
for each edition.
Paper manufacturers make enough
paper the width of a newspaper in
four years to reach to the sun and
back. The United States is consum-
ing timber about four times as fast
as it grows.
Anyone observing the forests of
Watauga can see that our chestnut
timber will, in the near future, be
thing of the past. Does it not stand
to reason that the man who owns
timber and timberlands is in a good
way for the future, provided he takes
care of it?

London

The municipality of London is still
the largest city in the world, with
7,849,000 population, compared with
New York's 1880 Census figure of
6,981,9 But in the area known as
"circled New York" the territory in
cluded in a radius of 10 miles of
the City, Hall, which takes in part
of New Jersey and of three New
York counties not included in the
city proper, there is a population of
about 100000 greater than in the
so-called London traffic area"
which extends nearly thirty miles
from the center of London.
Contrary to the general idea, the
average height of buildings in Lon
don is higher than in New York. The
many huge skyscrapers, rising from
80 to 60 stories, in New York, and
counterbalanced by the tens of thou
sands of buildings only three or four
stories high, London has only two
or three buildings more than seven
stories high, but very few under five
stories. The London County Council
recently refused an application for
permission to build a new hotel ten
stories tall, and fixed nine stories
as the limit.

Food fads and faddists cost the
American farmers millions of dollars
year, according to Henry Stude,
president of the American Bakers
Association. Mr.. STUDIES organization
is trying to get people to go back to
the habit of eating bread-not whole
wheat bread or Graham bread or any
kind of ''health" bread, but just or
dinary white bread.
~ There is good deal in the sugges-
ton that many persons have been
frightened away from bread by the
idea that it is fattening.
The craze for slenderness. is not
confined to women; men have been
taught that fat is dangerous. The
real danger is in not eating enough
nutritive food to supply the necessary
bodily energy.
EAT what's set before you," was
the rule for children, when l was
boy. 1t is still good rule. Most of
us can digest anything and the wider
our range of diet the more healthy
we are likely to be.

Direct Rays of the Sun
Beneficial to Livestock
Rv RADFORD MOBLEY

Washington, ID. o., oct. l0'-Slnce
scientists discovered that the health
producing substances called vitamins
come from sunlight, careful studies
of the effect of the suns rays upon
livestock, as well as human beings,
have been made by the Department
of Agriculture. 1t seems to be proved
that exposure to the direct rays Of
the sun not only keeps animals heal
thy but pays in other ways. Hens
Law better when they have plenty OF
sunshine; hogs and sheep and beef
cattle assimilate their food better
and take ON weight more rapidly;
moreover, parasites and disease
germs do not multiply so freely un-
der the rays of the sun as they do
in darkness.
The part of. the sunlight which
carries the health giving vitamlns is
the short rays which are invisible to
the eye, known as the ultraviolet
rays. The problem of exposing do
mestic animals to these ultraviolet
rays in the winter is difficult one,
because these rays do not pass
through ordinary window glass, and
in most sections of he United States
shelter from the cold is more I'M
portant than exposure to the sun.
Many glass manufacturers are
spending huge sums in the effort to
produce a glass which will let the
ultraviolet rays pass through. If this
can be accomplished, at cost which
will not be prohibitive, the progress
sive farmer of the future will build
his barns and poultry houses with the
south front of the buildings entire
ly of glass, like a hot-house, so that
his livestock will at once be protect
ed from the weather and exposed to
every available bit of winter sun
shine.
The United States ' Bureau of
Standards has been making thorough
tests of all of the different kinds of
glass so far produced with this end
in view One manufacturer, accord
ing to DR.. W. w. Coblentz of the
Bureau of Standards, has succeeded
in making glass which will let upward
of 60 per cent of the ultra violet
rays pass through, and will not de-
teriorate with time. All of the other
kinds of glass which let the ultra
violet rays through when the glass
is new, gradually lose their quality,
because of the presence of a minute
quantity of iron in the glass. Only
one manufacturer so far has learned
how to eliminate all traces of iron.
As yet, this new glass is too ex-
pensive for general use, costing about
50 square foot, or about six times
the price of ordinary window glass.
1t seems probable, however, that with
increased use and larger production
the cost will be materially reduced.
Even at the present price, expert
ments which have been made indi-
cate that the use of ultraviolet glass
may be profitable, it's cost being more
than offset by increased egg produc-
ton, speedier fattening of hogs and
cattle, and, fro the fruit and vege-
table grower, it's use in greenhouses
and hot-beds offers an opportunity
to grow green stuff and small fruits
in the coldest regions the year round
for it is the ultraviolet rays which
give life and vigor to vegetation as
well as to animals.

Autogiiro

Before your gas engine was invent
ed, before anybody had ever believed
the airplane possible, Thomas A Ed
ison invented flying machine which
was to be lifted into the air by a
horizontal windmill propeller, the
power derived from a series of gun
cotton explosions.
The other day Mr.. Edison saw
James Ray and James Faulkner land
at Newark after flight from Phil
adelphia in a machine they called
an "autogiro" which, except for the
engine, was just like the early Edi-
son dream. 1t is entirely possible
that the autogiro, which can rise
vertically, land ION a dime" and fly
as slow as 20 miles or as fast as
lis miles an hour will be the air.

Railroads

George Gould's ambition was to
own railroad system which would
stretch from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific He died with his ambition un-
realized. E. H. Hartman, James j.
Hill and Commodore Vanderbilt
failed in their similar efforts. The
Canadian Pacific and the Canadian
National systems run from coast to
coast in Canada, but only this year
the first system under one control
to cover the whole United States
was completed.
In 1916 the Van Sweringen Broth
ers of Cleveland wanted right of
way for trolley line to their real
estate development, Shaker Heights.
They could get it only by buying the
decrepit Nickel Plate Railroad which
they did, mostly on credit That gave
them line from Buffalo to Chica-
go and soon they were up to their
ears in the railroad business. Now,
after fourteen years, they control
also the Erie, the Chesapeake &
Ohio, the Hooking Valley, Pere Mar
quette, Wheeling and Lake Erie, Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois and Mis-
souri, Pacific
Their $4,000 miles of road is the
largest railroad system in the Unit
ed States. 1t is capitalized at $685.

Wheat

In every State but-TGeorgia the
August pricesof corn was higher than
the price Of wheat. Such a state of
things occur only once in long
time, wheat usually being the high
est priced grain. This year there is
big wheat surplus and short corn
crop.
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture and the Federal Farm Borad
are advocating using the wheat sur
plus to feed livestock. 1t is figured
nat the food value of wheat is so
much higher than that of corn, that
with corn at dollar a bushel the
farmer can afford to pay SIP 1-2
for wheat for feeding.
Many farmers have reported their
experience in feeding wheat in the
past, for cattle, hogs and poultry,
with uniform satisfaction. Some say
that it fattens hogs faster than corn
does.
1t would be strange if wheat should
become the stock farmers mainstay
as well as the backbone of human
diet.

OF course, the same ultraviolet

of course, the same ultraviolet

promote vegetable growth are equal.
ly beneficial to human beings. Hos,
pitfalls, sanitariums and winter resort
hotels are now beginning to enclose
sun rooms with ultraviolet glass
through which direct sunlight can
reach the bodies of patients and Wis
itors.
Direct exposure to the rays is es-
sential, but the time will come when
skylights or verandas enclosed with
this glass will be generally regarded
as an essential feature of every up
to date home, so that every member
of the household can get his or her
daily quota of the life-giving ultra
violet rays.
Farm board loans out of the ia
nous S250,000,000 revolving fund il
was given by Congress include about
S140000, 900 to cotton and gram
growers combined. No other single
commodity even remotely approaches
either of these in size of loans, ac-
cording to unofficial estimates
For beans, pecans, honey, grass
seed, dried fruit, poultry, figg and
few other miscellaneous" crops, q
total of but $3,5OO.OOO has been
loaed. Even livestock groups have
been loaned, but $1,5O0,000 of the
boards money, it is estimated.
Many observers here feel that the
rock-bottom in farm real estate price
which has been expected for many
months has been reached, or will
shortly be reached, and that the re-
suit will be at least a slight upward
trend.
Changes in the level of farm real
estate this year as compared with
last were slight in the east and. west
south central states. Only slight
changes were shown also in the New
England, Mountain and Pacific Coast
States. The heaviest decline was ir
the east north central and South At

LOSE GAINS IN
CLOSING SALES
Strength in Corn Is Main
Supporting Factor;
Oats Up.
BpUaiied Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Aug. Wheat closed
sharply lower on the Board Of Trade
after ranging unevenly in a swing
of about 2 cents. Buyers were eau
tious and the strength in corn was
the main supporting factor. Corn
was checked by profit-taidng on
every bulge and several times swung
below the previous close but the
undertone was very strong and at
the last the market held good gains.
Oats were firm most of the day, fol-
low corn closely.
At the close. wheat was to IL
cents lower, corn was Il to is
cents higher and oats were Ia to
IL cents higher. Provisions were
more than 25 points higher
Reversing itself sharply, Liverpool
closed Is to 4 cent higher, aside
from the confirmation of a large
export business Thursday, there was
no special news during the morning.
Trading quieted down after the
private estimates were received.
Cash prices were unchanged. Re-
ceipts we're 378 cars.
The private estimates on the corn
crop were fully as bullish as ex-
pected, showing deterioration of
400,000000 bushels since a month
ago. The reports indicated a fur
ther reduction might still be seen
if the weather did not change
shortly. The crop condition was
placed at 69.3. At midmorning
prices showed good fractional adj
vances after having set a new high
on the present movement at the
start. Cash prices were Y cent
higher. Receipts we're 104 cars.
The estimates on oats were bear
ish but less so than had been ex-
pected, and this with the strength
in corn gave the market subStan-
tial rise during the morning. The
trade was without any special fea-
ture. Cash prices were unchanged.
Receipts were lat cars.

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson & McKinnon)

NEW YORK, Aug. Largely
under the influence of the weak
ness in the utility division, the stock
market developed a hesitant tone
today.
Further rate reductions, giving
rise to the possibility of more wide
spread movement Of this nature, adj
versely affected the electric utility
shares. Otherwise the market was
rather barren of industrial news.
Indicating that the wealth of the
country has continued to grow dur
ing period of depression, it is in
teresting to note that during the
first six months of this year invest
tors have absorbed a vast amount
of new securities.
OF equal Importance is the fact
that in face of this, bond prices
have steadily advanced and interest
rates declined. Those in control of
the financial welfare of the country
have made it clear that they in
tend to keep credit cheap and
abundant.
It goes without saying that their
chief concern in so doing is to
foster industry and trade. Market
wise it has had the effect Of di-
verting investment funds out of
commercial channels, where inter-
est rates are now 50 low, into 5e-
curities which yield more remunera-
lively.
Bonds, as before said, have al
ready reflected this tendency with
prices but a fraction under the
highest figures of the year.
The trend of investment demand
even now is beginning to spread to
second grade issues and taking in
some preferred stocks.
If running true to form, and We
see no reason for thinking other
wise, security demand should
broaden to include the gilt-edge
common stocks.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-The stock
market ran into selling near the
close today and various representa-
tive issues declined more than 2
POINTS. A few wider breaks occurred
Trading was exceptionally quiet
throughout the session with tickers
standing idle at times.
Prices moved back and forth with
intermittent rallies until the last
few minutes when they turned
definitely downward. Steel COM
mon which at one time was up to

pivotal shares followed it downward.
On only a few instances. however.
was bearish pressure sufficient to
bring exceptional declines. Celotex
common dropped 2 points to II
while the preferred which has not
been out for several days broke 1873

Celotex preferred dipped 10 points
lower in the last few minutes to 80,
while the common firmed up slight

Utilities we're hard hit following
action in Philadelphia and Boston

and negotiations for the change are
now under way. Saving to con-
sumers in these three cities will
amount to around slO.000,O00 which
would be a direct loss to the COM
