@. When a softwood forest Is cut why
Is 1t replaced by hardwood trees and

A. The United States Forest Service

tain more or less hardwood trees as a
mixture or as an underground. Cutting
but leaves the hardwood Moreover,
hardwood can be reproduced by sprout-
ing even If the larger trees are cut.
Hardwood trees grow faster than conf
erous and occupy the ground before
the softwood has a chance to seed In.
In some regions, especially in the
North, burned-over coniferous forests
are followed by broad-leafed species,
such as birch and aspen, because these
species have very light seed which is
carried long distances by the wind,
while the seed of the spruce or pine
Is seldom carried more than a few
hundred yards. A hardwood forest Is
not 50 often replaced by softwood sec
ond growth This may happen in cases
where there are already small soft
wood trees under hardwood stands, and
where the cut-over area is not burned
over so as 10 destroy the soft woods.
Similar results may follow on heavily
grazed areas because stock tends to eat
hardwood sprouts but not the softwood.

Senator John j. Blaine Of wiscon-
sin comes up for reelection in 1892.
Dispatches from Wisconsin have limited
that Philip La Toilette, after two years
as Governor, may determine to be a
candidate for the Senate against
Blaine. Such a thing is farthest from
the thoughts of Philip La Toilette and
Of Senator Robert M. La Toilette jr,
his brother. Senator Blaine has been
q La Toilette Progressive for years. He
was Governor when the senior La Fol-
lette died and aided Robert M. La Fol-
iette, jr., in his campaign for the sena-
torial nomination in 1925 and 1926
Senator Blaine took his coat off and
worked like beaver for the nominal
ton this year of Philip La Toilette for
Governor. Attempts have been made
frequently by the "stalwarts" in Wis
consin to make 1t appear that Blaine
and the La Follettes were at outs. The
truth Of the matter is that Senator La
Toilette and Senator Blaine have
travelled amicably along in the Senate
ever since both have been members of
that body. 1t is not in character for
the La Follettes to turn on Senator
Blaine or any one else who has been
friend and supporter.

we then proceed to spend our budget

its incentive to you, for there has rarely
been such q chance to buy bargains as
