So here, as its first activity we
find our foreSters going through
the timber, cutting down the dross,
the weed trees, the fire damaged
and rotten trees, the criminal veg
citation left after we human beings
took out the StalWarts. The first
step in forestry management is to
get rid of the worthless scrub that
only takes up space for no final
useful purpose.
I fnd six well-defined activities
outlined in The minds of our eff
Gent state forester, Ralph Wilcox
and his no less efficient helpers
Joe Kaylor, William Miller, Clar-
ence Griffith, Albert Foley and Her
Schell Woods.
First, destruction of weed trees
and their use for fuel.
Second, cutting of over mature
valuable trees for lumber to be used
in housing the forestry army.
Third, allowing dead and worth
less timber to decay on the ground
where it is felled to enrich the soil.
Fourth, strategic use of brush piles
to increase game cover and to fur
nish nesting places.
Fifth, replanting valuable timber
for replenishing the forest and to
cover badly eroded and gully-washed
areas.
Sixth, cutting fire lanes to pre-
vent the spread of forest fires.
A BOOK can be written on each
L A of the above phases of forest
management. There being a very
definite purpose behind each of
these correlated activities, let us de-
vote a moment to explain the most
important.
Watershed protection. Under this
heading lie all the soil erosion pre-
ventive activities. Like a man
Specter of a squandered past, soil
waste by erosion rises on every hand
in Indiana to point its nightmare
finger to the cause of our increasing
rural poverty in the Indiana hill
lands. China's "Shensi province" of
starving millions is the final answer
to this bitter accusation.
Water poured on a tin roof i'm
mediately runs off. Throw a cover
of straw Or leaves over the roof and
the water drips off.
Soil erosion in the bad lands of
the Dakotas, where no tree or shrub
is growing, take eight inches of soil
away per annum with the average
rainfall. The same rain falling on a
heavy blue grass sod takes eight
inches of soil away in 4,985 years.

The records in our own forestry
department show a loss of eighteen
inches of top soil on one acre of
barren hill land in Morgan county
in one season.

smarter than I think he is If he can
keep out of the trap I will set for him.
In the first place, he probably has been
living there for some time and hasn't
been disturbed He has been in and
out of that hole in the floor so often
that he won't be looking for trouble
there He'll be caught before he even
suspects that there is trap anywhere
around"
A couple of days later he took a
wicked steel trap over to the old barn.
First he carefully studied the floor
around the hole as best he could. 1t
was under some fallen tinbers, but he
could get to it. BY certain signs on
the floor he learned just how that
hole was entered and left. Once sure
of this, the hunter grinned. A Fox
springing up out of that hole in the
floor would land just there. A trap
cunningly hidden right there would get
that Fox the next time he came out.
So the trap was set and cunningly
hidden with loose hay and the smart
trapper went home as sure that the
next morning he would find a Fox in
that trap as he was that he would eat
his breakfast.
But the next morning when he visited
the barn he found the trap sprung
and kicked off to one side. At first
he thought that some other trapper
had done this and he flew into a great
rage. But after bit he realized that
he had been outsmarted by the Fox.
80, Mr. Fox, you think you are
smarter than I, do you?" said the
smart trapper. We'll see about that.
It is my wit against yours. I'm going
to have that red coat of yours, and
don't you think I'm not"

Bedtime Stories

Wit Against Wit.

TT had happened over in the ruin
of an old barn on a deserted farm,
where for a few weeks Reddy Fox
i and Mrs. Reddy had made their
home Chance had given hunter
a glimpse of Reddy as foolishly he left
that barn one day in broad daylight.
The hunter hadn't been looking for
Foxes. He had been hunting Rabbits,
and it was just chance that he hap
pened along at just the moment Reddy
left that barn.
At once the hunter went over to
look around the barn. A Fox had
stolen hen from him Several of his
neighbors had suffered in the same
way. Already a hunt had been talked
of to try to rid the neighborhood OF
the red robber. Peering under some
fallen timbers, he discovered a hole in
the floor and on the edge of it several
red hairs. At once the hunter guessed
that he had found the retreat OF the
Fox who had stolen the hens. He
searched carefully for some tell-tale
feathers, but not one did he find.
Reddy and Mrs. Reddy had been too
smart to bring any hens there where
the feathers might give their secret
away.
Now. that hunter was smart. He

who should? He boasted that he was
the best hunter and trapper in that
neighborhood, and he was. His neigh
bors admitted it. He didn't tell any
of them that he had found where
Reddy Fox was living. He wanted the
skin of that Fox himself, and he felt
sure he would get it. So on the morn
ing of the hunt he took his terrible
gun and went straight to the old barn
on the deserted farm. sure that when
that Fox got tired he would make
straight for his retreat under the barn
floor. Getting shot would be only
matter of patient waiting.
Once he thought that in moment
or two he would have his chance. The
Fox was coming straight toward the
old barn. He could tell by the baying
of the Dogs. With gun ready, he
watched for glimpse of a red coat.
The Dogs came ON almost to the barn.

Adequate Garden
Requires Variety

What to grow in the home garden
is often a problem, especially for the
beginner who is confused by the large
variety OF vegetables available. Al
though the exact varieties TO plant de-
pend on the locality, every family that
expects TO meet most Of its table needs
with garden must grow a number Of
different standard vegetables, accord
ing to the recommendation OF the OK
tension service, Washington State COL
lege.
Every garden should have at least
four grcen-leaf vegetables, three root
vegetables, two pod vegetables and
three miscellaneous vegetables to meet
the needs Of the average family. Green
leaf vegetables may include cabbage,
spinach, swiss chard and lettuce. Car
rots, beets and parsnips usually make
up the root vegetables. The three mis-
cellaneous vegetables should always. in
cludes tomatoes and generally onions.
Beans and peas are the leading pod
vegetables.
Planning q balanced garden usually
calls for considerable self control be-
cause mothers fondness for tomatoes
or Johnny's love for string beans may
seriously upset the proportion among
the different vegetables. Many vege-
tables are wasted through going to
seed before they can be used. AS the
home gardener is not In the seed bust
ness every vegetable should be allotted
its share Of ground. BY replanting
and succession crops vegetables can be
made available throughout the sum-
mer.

family of five is, contained In Extern

tanned from the local county agent
or by sending card to the Extension
Service, Pullman. The circular gives
