THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.
What can the home gardener dc

What can the home gardener dc
differently this year?
He might stand on his head In the
middle of the yard to the consterna-
ton Of his neighbors.
Better, however, would be for him
to write for some seed catalogues from
firms he has never patronized.
As delightful as the old standbys
are, there is no gainsaying that one
knows them from cover to cover.
Some Of the old favofites we could
tell you about without once looking
In them.
It is but natural that once q
grower has evolved good list, with
illustrations he and his customers like,
he will stick to it.
Nothing is more proper for him
than to think 1t pretty nice cata-
logue, as 1t is.
The dear steady customer, however
tends to become bored with 1t.
Not that he does not appreciate
It, not that he does not find 1t in
teresting, but at the same time he
tends to slight pages which used to
hold him enthralled.
Maybe he does not order thing
from its pages.
This in time disturbs the sender
He cannot afford to send a big ZOO

do not buy anything.
He is in business, primarily, to sell
seed, not to entertain thousands of
readers.
He values the entertainment fea-
ture, so do his readers, but in the
last analysis every one can under
stand that the man must sell seed
to keep on being able to put out
such nice book.
He informs us, very politely, that
we have rot bought anything for q
year or two and he cannot afford to
keep on sending us the book unless
we do; he will be delighted to con-
tinue sending it, though, If we indi-
cate to him a continued desire for 1t.
Well, let us take him at his word
and forget for the year his nice big
catalogue.
If we must send a request, let us
send it instead to some other firm, one
we have never patronized, and who,
perhaps, deserves some Of our few
pennies for plants and seeds.
This will give us an entirely new
fund Of garden reading matter, give
other deserving seedmen a chance
with us, help distribute the wealth
of the Nation around bit.
There is a certain thrill in getting
these new catalogues.
Some of them are little, some large,
some beautiful, some not so hot, as
the young people say; some putting
the novelties" first, some placing
them last; some starting of with
vegetables, others with flower seeds.
All Of them play up" more or less
the same things the old books with
which we are familiar do.
This comes about, of course, be-
cause seeds are seeds and plants are
plants.
There are societies for almost all
the better known flowers now and
these organizations have worked for
certain standards.
A new movement during the last
two years has been the getting TO-
gether Of growers throughout the
country and the selection of certain
novelties" for sale by all.
This movement Is q distinct gain

Soviet World Revolution.

a series of articles designed to
disclose Communist activities In the
United States, especially within the
Army and Navy. 1t is a significant
confidence that the appearance of Mr..
Golfers first revelations synchronizes
with dispatches from Mr.. Harold
Denny and Mr.. Ralph Barnes, the re-
spective Moscow correspondents of the
New York Times and Herald Tribune,
dealing with Soviet and Communist
International plans for world revolu-
tion.
These competent observers point
out that amid the feverish zeal with
which the five-year plans have been
promoted, that fundamental article
Of Communist faith-world revolu-
tion"-has been pushed into the back
ground and somewhat modified, but
that the idea itself has never for a
moment been abandoned. Mr.. Denny
explains that Stain has set out to
prove that Soviet Russia can succeed
even in the midst of capitalist world.
and to that task has directed his
energies. But, the Times correspond
ent suggestively asks, once the U. S.
S. r. is economically strong and mill
tarily secure, what then? The i'm
mediate purpose, it appeared from
speeches at the recent Congress Of
Soviets, Is to improve the condition
of Russian Communist workers suffi-
ciently to inspire workers in capitalist
countries to follow the Bolshevist
example.
Mr.. Denny adds that in advanced
capitalistic countries Soviet leaders do
not nourish hope Of ian early revolu-
ton" America is regarded as the least
promising prospect because normally
labor here is incomparably better off
than Soviet labor now, while Red
leaders also believe that successful
revolution can be waged only under
the guidance of "a trained revolution
ary party"
For various reasons, Mr.. Denny
tells us, Moscow does not see a
world revolution as the imminent
conf1agration once envisioned, but
contemplates 1t as a certainty Of the
indefinite future when time and cir
cumstances are propitious." Soviet au-
thorities are depicted as fearing that
war at this time might be detected
into a war against the Soviet Union,
so Moscow policy trends in the direc-
tion of peaceful foreign relations.
In the Herald Tribune Mr.. Barnes
expresses the opinion that Stain and
his aides "are still fervent believers
in the messianic calling of the Soviet
state to lead the world proletariat to
victory" and will take the first suit
able occasion to place new stress on
international aims" meantime utiliz-
ing every energy to make the Soviet
"an example and rallying center for
the proletarians of other countries"
It follows, Mr.. Barnes says, that the
present Soviet policy, involving League
of Nations membership, non-aggres-
sion pacts and close ententes with
certain capitalist powers is policy
of expediency" which may be dis
carded on one pretext or another as
the Kremlin finds desirable.
These authoritative accounts Of the
Soviet scene emphasize the grave i'm
portance of the facts Mr.. Collier is
now bringing to public notice in the
columns of this newspaper.

for the originators, since 1t gives them
much wider distribution.
Today the local seedhouse, planter
and grower may have Nationwide
distribution through catalogues.
The time has long gone by when
the local scotsman sold solely In his
own locality.
There is something In human ma
ture, truly, which makes us believe In
the far away and the remote.
We might not admit as much, even
to ourselves, but in the back Of the
mind somewhere there is belief that
a thing necessarily must be better II
we get 1t from half way across the
continent.
We may know that our local seeds
man sells about as good seed as can
be grown; nevertheless we calmly
overlook him in making out our
annual order.
We prefer, admit 1t or not, to send
away, and to unwrap with anticipa-
ton later.
This may seem slightly harsh on
the local scotsman, but he makes good
by selling to people far away from
here.
He, too, benefits by this trait in
human nature, this queer twist which
makes the strange and far away
slightly more intriguing to us.
This attitude Is seen in many walks
Of life.
There are many small fishes. for
instance, which grow in Southern
waters which would make fine aquar-
ium "tropicals," but they seem to have
very little appeal to the American
aquarist.
They are, however, uniformly pop
ular with the fanciers Of Germany!
And so 1t goes.
Every home gardener knows the lure
of looking through the annual cata-
logues.
This year let him write for some
he has never seen before, not failing
to include some Of his local growers,
II he has not secured their catalogues
regularly.
Looking through the catalogues, or
"fireside gardening" as 1t has come
to be called, Is q delightful diversion,
one which entertains at the time and
which helps expand ones garden
ideas.
The newcomer to the garden, or he
who has not yet had one, Is in no
need Of this expansion.
The old-timer, however, the man or
woman who has gardened for some
years, really. needs new breath Of
air. as it were.
The old gardener has tended to use
the old tools to plant the same old
things year after year.
He has ordered from the same
houses and has seen the same illuStra-
tions so long that he longs, although
he may not exactly realize 1t, for new
ones. depicting somebody else's ideas
Of the dear old plants.

Get out Of the garden rut, then, by
ordering quite fresh catalogues and
getting these other growers ideas and
ideals.
Growers, on the one hand, and plant
lovers on the other, make up won-
derful fraternity. in which the love
Of growing plants binds all to the
soil.
They must keep together by all
knowing as many Of each pther as
possible. Since to know all Is not pos
sible for either Of them, it will be
well for the gardeners to take the
initiative by sending for new cata-
logues from time to time. There are
5000 seedsmen in the United States.
How many do you know?

Or rose to great distinction In the

But If they searched enough, I'll bet
the fact they'd run across
That somewhere in that family tree
somebody stole a hoss.
Them family trees don't allus tell as
much as they keep hid.
It wouldn't be a thing 'gainst Eben-

He's generous an he's kind and allus
pays his honest debts.
He doesn't drink, nor chew, nor
smoke, not even cigarettes.
But then it takes all kinds o folks

tegration of policies between the two
departments appears desirable before
longtime contractual obligations can
be made by the forest service. For this
and other impelling reasons, it is my
judgment that only annual permits
should be issued for the season of 1885
for grazing on the national forests.
Since term permits expired in 1884.
and under existing rules and regula-
tons, the forest service is obligated to
review the question of distribution of
grazing privileges, the stockmen natur
ally have felt considerable alarm as to
any action of the forest service which
might curtail the privileges of present
users. The forest service is obligated to
make the use of national forest ranges
contribute to the greatest possible ex-
tent to the permanence, maintenance
and welfare of local communities.
1T is very large and difficult social
and economic problem. 1t involves all
the various factors of proper land-use
planning, based upon comprehensive
knowledge of the adaptability of soils to
crops, marketing condition, and the
various problems of successful farm
management. In view of this fact, it Is
hoped that the department of agricul-
ture will find it possible to initiate an
intensive economic survey of these
various local communities dependent on
national forests and public domain.
This survey should determine such
economic limits as conditions in each
locality justify, and furnish sounder
basis on which, in the future, to APP
prove applications. Pending this survey,
however, the forest service feels it can
proceed to take care of those applicants

their ranch property, are dependent

ANNUAL PERMITS FOR GRAZING
ON NATIONAL FOREST LANDS

MISSOULA, March 31--Grazing on
the national forests will be by annual
permits only, during the 1885 season,
according to Chief Forester F. A. Silcox
in statement recently received at the
regional forester's office Of the forest
service at Missoula.
longtime grazing contracts will be
undesirable, Mr.. Silcox explained, until
a proper correlation is effected between
the policies Of the grazing administra-
ton of the interior department, which
administers and regulates grazing lands
of the public domain, and that of the
forest service, which handles grazing
on the national forests.
The chief forester further pointed out
that representatives Of the livestock in
dustry attending a recent conference at
Salt Lake City emphasized the need for
federal agencies to coordinate their
policies so that the credit structure Of
the livestock industry would be proper
ly safeguarded. He, in turn, assured
the stockrnen Of his interest in the de-
velopment of such policy which would
protect all interests, adding:
All industries have felt the effects
of the depression. Most industries are
still in an unsettled state. During the
past year the national government has,
for the first time, attempted TO place
the vast public domain under admins
tration and regulation through the es-
tablishment Of a grazing administra-
ton in the interior department. Some
action of the kind was necessary both
in the interest Of the livestock industry
and to save the public range from de-
