i. S. Builds Up
Forest Reserve
Tree Planting in 1888 TOPS
100000, 900; Michigan
Leads Country.

WASHINGTON.-The national for
est service made long strides last
year toward building up a forest
reserve by planting more than l40,-
O00,0O trees.
The service supervised the plant
Ing of 1929 acres of deforested
land In 81 states at an average cost
OF $40 an acre. 1t estimated that
timber produced by the trees would
be worth $1,000, 900.
The largest number of trees in
any state was 44,885, 900 planted in
Michigan. More than 100000 trees
each were planted in Wisconsin,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Minnesota,
Texas, Washington, Alabama, Colo
RADIO, Illinois, Arkansas, Pennsyl-
Vania, South Dakota and Indiana.
Pine Trees Most Popular.
The service reported that % diff
terent tree species were planted.
Five members of the extensive. pine
1amily-red, jack, white, longleaf
and slash-represented 88 per cent
OF all trees planted.
Most of the young trees set out in
the national forests were grown in
the 28 forest service nurseries. APP
proximately 20 tons of coniferous
tree seed and five tons of hardwood
seed were used to produce the young
trees.
Extension of the reforeStation pro-
gram, the service said, was made
possible by the Civilian Conserva-
ton corps. Planting crews were
made up entirely of CCC enrollees,
unemployed local residents and re-
lief labor.
Most extensive planting opera
tons were reported in the Gulf and
Lake states, where adequate natur-
al reproduction has failed to follow
the heavy cutting and repeated fires.
Michigan Forest Foremost.
The Manistee national forest on
the Lake Michigan shore of the
Lower Peninsula led the "A national
forests where planting was done last
year with 1884 acres. Three other
national forests reporting more than
10000 acres planted were the De-
Soto in southern Mississippi, the
Nicolet in northern Wisconsin, and
the Upper Michigan national forest.
In Michigan the service planted
4l,022 acres in longleaf and slash
pine; Wisconsin, 1902 acres of red
and jack pine; Mississippi, 20.260
acres of longleaf and slash pine;
Louisiana, 14,022 acres of longleaf
and slash pine.
Other states included Texas, 9,85z
acres in longleaf and slash pine;
Minnesota, $3.50 acres in red and
jack pine; Washington, 1892 acres
in Douglas fir; Idaho, 1886 acres in
ponderosa and western white pine;
Colorado, 3,805 acres in ponderosa
pine, and Alabama, 1909 acres in
longleaf and slash pine.

Research Is Undertaken
to Improve Wood Stoves

NORTHFIELD, Whore eff
fcient use for wood for heating and
other household purposes is expect
ed to result from studies now being
made at Norwich university bureau
of industrial research.
Director Douglas E. Howes says
that by using the principle of slow
combustion the wood is distilled
into gas and let into a chamber to
be burned under the most favorable
conditions possible.
He says that stoves based on this
principle are now in use in Ger
many, Sweden and Switzerland, but
that their design is not adaptable
20 American households.
The combustion efficiency of these
stoves, Howes adds, ranges from
IS to 90 per cent against IS per cent
and much lower in ordinary stoves.

Great Pageant Will Be
Staged at Kenilworth

LONDON. - Kenilworth castle,
which played a large role in the
lives of the early kings of England
and which was later used as a ro-
mantle setting for Sir Walter SCOTS
novels, will review its history this
summer in a great pageant. The
red sandstone walls of the castle are
to be used as a background for the
performers, who Will represent
many of the chief personages of old
England.
Edward Longshanks'' will at
tempt to storm the castle, Queen
Elizabeth" will enter the arena
through the kings gate, as she did
in 1875, and Shakespeare's Falstaff
will show his method of raising
troops for the kings army. The
nine episodes of the pageant will
be concluded by a scene in which
the ghost of Sir Walter Scott re-
visits the castle and reviews the glo-
rles of its past.

Savage Attack b y

Mary This Spring

London, March 7.-(AP)- Prime
Minister Chamberlain's star will rise
or fall on the success or failure of
the royal visit to the United States
this spring, the Daily Express de-
clared today in long article head
ed: do these United States attacks
on the royal visit matter?'
The newspaper said United States
Ambassador Joseph Kennedy, smore
than any other man." was responsible
for the invitation to King George vi
and Queen Elizabeth, and that Ken
nedy was convinced it would be a
success despite the Savage on
slaught'' attributed by the newspaper
to Senator Reynolds, Democrat
North Carolina.
Ambassador Kennedy was not i'm
mediately available for comment.
(SenatoE Reynolds discussed the
British royal visit in a Senate for
eign affairs debate January 16.)
"Americans' who oppose the visit
say we are sending our king and
queen to call on them cap in hand;
that the whole affair is begging ex-
pedition, and attempt to pull the
Americans into Europe the Daily
Express said.

Blasting At
Communists

Shanghai, March 7.-(AP)-Jap-
anese planes blasted at three centers
of China's communist dominated
northwest today while the severest
fighting of many weeks marked the
close of the Goth month of Japan's
undeclared war on China. /.
A japanese communique said 80
planes bombed Yenan, Chinese COM
munist headquarters, in the northern
part of unconquered Shensi pro-
vince, causing considerable damage
to the center Of the city and uni
versity there. Twenty other planes
attacked military establishments and
barracks of Ningsia, capital of the
province of that name, northwest of
Shensi, according to the communique
The planes raided point at the
great bend of the Yellow river, an
important station on. the Lunghai
railway forming part of the route
from Soviet Russia. A dispatch from
that Shensi province town said IA
persons were killed by "a bombs
dropped near the railway station.
While long heralded land often
sive into so-called red Shensi had
not materialized, japanese armies
were engaged in operations almost
as deep inland-the westward drive
in Hupeh province, the heart of
China, more than 500 miles inland in
China.

Wilmington, March 7.-(AP)-Po-
lice and sheriff's deputies in a series
of early morning raids today, cap
tured six men, including a paroled
killer and two ex-convicts, and
charged them with participation in
a series of robberies and hold-ups
here recently.
The men held are identified as:
Warren Moore, paroled two years

for murder and manslaughter; Will

Raleigh, March 7.-As the 1889
General Assembly goes into its tenth
week, observers can find little FAC
tual basis for predictions as to who
will emerge as the leading candidate
for governor in 1910. This is an un-
usual situation, brought about by
unusual conditions. For many years
past it has been possible before the
mid-term legislature was half over
to pick the fairhaired boy for the
next primary.
AS far back as 1919 this was true.
Out Of the regular session of that
assembly came Max Gardner as
possibly the favorite; but the spe-
cial session placed Cameron Morri-
son we'll in the lead and he held
that lead through two primaries and
an election to become the next chief
executive of the State.
In 1923 Will Everett, of Rocking
ham and two or three others hoped
to be touched by the magic wand,
