Forests Aid Utah Farms

THE agriculture of Utah depends largely upo@
the forests of the State, and, to the good
fortune of the State, practically all the timber
land lies within its 10 national forests. These
forests, covering an area of 100000 acres
hold the key to practically all the water Of the
State. It's high mountains catch the greater
part of the snow and rain fall, and their heavy
cloak of trees holds the water back, so that 1t
runs gradually down to the lowlands, where.
through the irrigation system Of the State, it IL
fed out to the farms.
With the hillsideS bare, the water could rush
with torrential force, sweeping away the top
soil and bringing long periods of drought. The
trees, however, are under the control Of the
forestry experts Of the Federal Government,
and, while numbering is permitted. it is carried
on under the direction Of the Federal oflcials
who permit only the careful numbering which
leaves SUFFICIENT stand Of trees to protect the
watershed and promote the growth of the
younger trees Reforestation measures prop
erly carried out win bring about gradual re-
placement Of all timber logged out. asac3
There are but few million acres Of farminzs
land in the State, and this depends upon the
irrigation system. In addition, there Is a large
quantity OF grazing land within the 10 foresAsl
and this, too 10 employed under the direction

Production Of Beans.

nESPITE the steady advance of the Mexican
bean BEETLE, the production Of dried beans
in this country has gone ahead year by year,
in response to demand which has increased
about 100000 bushels a year for the past 10
years.
from the Southwest over a period of several
years, but spraying and other remedies have
kept down the damage to a large extent
Last years production Of dried beans was up
nearly 100000 bushels over 1929 reaching
total Of 22,137,0 900 bushels. Pea beans, large
white, yellow eyes and red kidneys, were in
smaller production, but all others gained. It
is likely that the importation, which in 1929
was 100000 bushels over normal, will be
greatly reduced this year because of the prob
ability Of corryover supply for the year.

tiers in exploring above the Arctic Circle, saw
none of these floating mountains OF ice. VilhJal-
muir Stefansson. who has 10 years of Arctic
residence to his record, did not see any, and
believes that there are no icebergs in the Polar
Sea between Franz Josef Island and Spitz-
bergen on the European side and Siberia on the
opposite side. Both of these explorers concur
in the belief that an ice cake will not extend
more than 120 feet below the surface, basing
their theory on the fact that they have never
seen an ice cake aground deeper than that.

DOHERTY GETS
 PANACEAS FOR
 BUSINESS SLUMP
$5OO,O Fund for Solu- tion Draws Many
 Suggestions

Kansas City, Mo.-Since Henry L. Doherty, public utilities magnate announced establishment of a $500,000 fund to find solution of the present economic depression. hundreds of panaceas have been suggested.
 Of these perhaps the most fre- quent is some variation of a gen. eral plan to establish deserving un- employed on government home- steads.
 One of the most elaborately laid out plans of this type was sub- mitted by Frank E. Woodward. Colorado Springs. Under this scheme each state would author ize county clerks to have all pub lie lands surveyed and divided into grants of two to ten acres.
 Then any male citizens, who had resided in the state for one year would be eligible for a grant, pro- vided he was unable to support himself and dependents.
 The homestead owner would forfeit his right to the land under certain conditions. After five years he would pay the county the assessed valuation for 1881. Ther he would be free to use or develop 1t in any way he wished.
 But the homestead idea is by no means the only one offered.
 Many suggest the repeal of tn; dry laws as the surest route tc good times, while others assert that all women possessed of any other means of support should be barred from industry and bust ness.

 Of it's 4,500 inmates, approxi- mately 4,000 are enrolled for some study. The prisoner may choose the trade or subject and from the first is taught to look forward to the time when he can assume a proper place in the world.
 Recently c. F. Adams, secretary of the Navy, advised Warden James B. Holohan, that the navy had placed the San Quentin schools upon it's accredited list. It is the first prison school ever to achieve that honor and enables the institution to borrow consid- erabie valuable equipment for edu- cational purposes.
 The prison also has the first building within prison walls ever to be used solely for educational purposes. This new structure con- tains eight class-rooms with col- 1apsible walls to permit the form ation of . large auditorium.

 INCREASED JOBS
 l5O PER CENT
Report Made on Emer- geflcy Projects By
 States and U. s.

Washington, (UP)-Emergency work on state and federal highway projects increased employment in such work by more than 150 per cent in seven months, according to Thomas H. Macdonald, chief of the Bureau of Public Roads of the Department of Agriculture. Discussing the $S0,000,000 ad- vance fund made available last December by Congress, MacDon- ald said that within five months the fund, together with $160,000,- 900 regular federal aid and state funds. had been put to work on new projects. The states also con- tinued construction and mainte- nance programs from state funds. July 1, according to Mcdonald, the total active federal aid pro- gram, including emergency and state funds, amounted to about $447,50O,000.
 Starting with a total of 148,600 employed on the state and federal highway programs in January" he said, "there was a rapid increase as weather conditions permitted. In May the total passed. 300,000, for July it was 3S6, 659 and the August preliminary figure was 384,000."
 Macdonald pointed out, how ever, that these figures did not represent the sum total of labor stimulation growing out of the emergency work. The road dollar, he said, Spreads back through stone quarries, sand and gravel plants, cement factories, petro- leum fields and refineries, mines, engages rail and water transporta- ton facilities, and keeps the wheels of equipment and accessory factories turning"

INDIAN POTTERY
 HUNT SUCCEEDS

Beloit, Wis Logan Museums expeditionary forces, returned here from a summer trip to New Mexi- co, where they gathered Indian pottery, bowls and beads, believe the Beloit colleges collection of postherds is unrivaled in the Unit ed States.
 Led by Paul Nesbitt, young curator of the museum, the expe- dition removed specimens from three New Mexico sites, at Mat tock's R;...ch ruin, Mimbres; the Hudson ranch, Reserve; and at Alamogordo.
 Their findings included 2,625 stone beads, 100 bowls and other pottery and potshreds, and frag- merts of earthware. All were products of ancient Indian tribes, particularly the Mimbres, a "van- ished" group.
 With Nesbitt worked Harold Kirkpatrick, Elgin, Ill; Robert voight, Oak Park, Ill.,; Albert Baker, Lake Bluff, H.; John Mar tin, Racine; Lloyd Maurer, Beloit; and Robert Van valzah, Madison.

 It was also explained that the glass in the lights in Hayden park, which are difficult to replace, have been broken in great numbers.
 It is thought that rife is being used to break the glass as it is of unusual thickness and only a bullet from a firearm could crack it.
