Brings In Goodly Sum

At current prices the returns 10
the community for stumpage pay
ments, wages, transportation, etc.
amounts to about so cents on a
bale of Christmas trees.
Calculating the average bale al
five trees and the annual cut at
40 trees, or eight bales at so cents,
the gross return would be four dol
lars per acre per year. Thus, to sus-
tain the present cut of 100000
trees, $4,000 acres should be placed
under intensive sustained weld
management at once to assure the
perpetuation of an annual 100000
return to rural labor and income.
II we consider the same acre un-
der sustained yield management for
sawlogs with a rotation age of $50
years and a volume of 10 M per
acre at maturity, its present con-
version value in railroad ties and
in terms of returns to the commu-
nifty would be SO cents as against
four dollars for Christmas trees.
Furthermore, the returns from
Christmas trees are annual and pro-
vide the private owner with ample
revenue to defray current expenses,
such as taxes and fire protection.
In 1889 fourteen Christmas tree
allotments on Government land in
the Eureka area averaged $463 each
in net returns to the cutters. Three
random one-fifth acre plots taken
on one allotment showed the aver
age stocking per acre to be 1,70O
trees with the cut in 1899 amount
ing to So trees per acre.
Conclusion
The following things should be
done to perpetuate and expand the
Christmas tree industry to its high
est possible yield, thus assuring the
maximum social and economic ben
eft to Lincoln County.
l. All farm woodlots suitable for
permanent production Of Christmas
tree crops should be brought under
sustained yield management as
quickly as possible, thus assuring
the owner maximum returns consis-
tent with sustained yield.
2. A cooperative forest products
marketing organization should be
formed to promote sustained yield
and assure:
a. Fair returns to the cutter.
b. Fair inspection and grading.
c. Elimination of sharp or unfair
business practices. which tend to
waste the resource.
d. Collective bargaining.
e. Pooling of extra labor oppor-
tunity in trucking, baling, loading
to benefit local labor and exclude
outside labor hired by buyers.
g. "On the ground research tc
provide scientific basis for the in
dustry.
4 Extension service to help and
advise the grower.
S. Research and extension to ex-
plore the market possibilities and
determine the limit of expansion.
g. Benefit payments to farmers
for practices that will bring their
Christmas tree lands under sustained
yield as soon as possible.
T. Insofar as the producing ca
pacity of private lands is unable tx
supply the market demand, the
slack should be taken up by the
cut of trees from lands in public
ownership, managed for Christmas
tree production.

be selected to grow to g., 10 and
l2-foot sizes. The production and
cut would aim at following the mar
ket demand for trees by sizes. Thin
ming and stand improvement work
would 60 hand in hand with cut
ting operations. Cutting 40 trees
per year, we would, at the end Of 80
years or the approximate age of the
largest Christmas trees, have cut
!, 200 trees from the acre. Actually
our forest capital would remain at
1900 trees per acre, for we would
expect to get about 40 seedlings per
year to replace the 40 trees cut.
Thus, the 40 trees would represent
the interest on our capital stock Of
1900 trees.

The three-member commission, to

Funds to finance the commissions

of not more than five cents a gallon

DIARY OF THE WAR

FRIDAY-Yugoslavia officials de-

Greece and Turkey, or with the Axis.
Turkey strengthened her defenses
while waiting for Yugoslavia to de-

meet military blows from any direc-
ton and have expressed renewed faith
in the alliance with Britain. London
had two air alarms and one after
nightfall. Much Importance was at
tached to Weygand's visit to Petain
in France. A British raid on an island
near Norway yielded 215 German
prisoners, and guns sank II German
ships, destroyed fish oil plant. Ger

have tried to do the same thing with
varying success. Cheltenham School
for Colored Boys and the Maryland
School for Colored Girls at Glenburnie
are struggling with the problem.
On the other hand, the institutions
for the feeble-minded, Rosewood
Training School for white children at
Owings Mills and Brownsville State
hospital for the colored, are also over
crowded. Furthermore, a delinquent,
even though he or she be a moron,
would introduce vicious element into
a mass of impressionable people.
Obviously, some new institution for
mentally defective or diseased delin-
quents should be established The
Commission tried to arrive at some
basis of capacity for such an institu-
ton on which it could make recon-
mendation to the State Legislature.
But all the experts disagreed. The
Commission concluded that it could
not conscientiously ask the people of
Maryland to invest hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in new institution
until a thorough study of the actual
need is made.
The staggering field of delinquency
prevention was also considered Slums
should be cleared, adequate play
grounds provided, places of amuse-
ment for the young supervised, news
stands cleared Of obscene literature,
the sale of dope and liquor to young
sters tracked down.
More counties and Baltimore city
should follow the example of New
York, Cincinnati and other localities
in allowing children one hour a week
off from school to receive instruction
in their own religion.
The Commission, having reviewed
all this bewildering testimony, recon-
mended to the Governor that a new
Juvenile Delinquency Commission of
five unpaid members be appointed.
This body should be allowed not over
$4,000 to carry on a two-year inves-
tigation and should report to the next
Legislature.
The Commission recommended the
raising Of the Juvenile Court of Bal
timore to proper court of record and
that, accordingly, this matter be sub
mitted to the voters of Maryland in
November, 1912
The Commission further recon-
mended that a voluntary committee
consisting of the superintendent of
the institutions and other officials be
formed, that they meet frequently to
try to find places for some of the diff
ficult cases.
The Commission urged that all
present institutions be explored to
find places for mentally defective de-
linquents and if any of the present
institutions receive money for expand
ed facilities, preference should be
given to equipping them for defective
delinquents.
Finally the Commission asked the
Governor to revitalize the Juvenile
Court Committees in the counties. No
real advance can be made in salvaging
our Maryland citizens of tomorrow
unless our Maryland citizens of today
other part.
