Tree Farming
(NeW York TimeS)

(New York Times
 The recent Washington State Forestry Confer points lesson that be profitably considered on a nation wide scale. The conference called to evauate the progress of the tree-farming movement which, as an organized crusade got under way about four years ago. Great credit for furtherng the cause of conservation and putting the lumber business on rational basis goes to Hugo Winkenwerder dean of the College of Forestry, University of Washington, who founded the conference quarter center ago and who served as president until his recent resignation
 The tree farming movement is a logical outgrowth of the ups and downs of the lumber industry in the Northwest In past decades operators considered numbering cut-and-get-out process Gradually pri- vate owners learned that this method was short sighted business The great majority of the acreage was suitable only for tree growing In 193l largely through the persistent work of Dean Winkenwerder, the Washington Legislature passed law which allowed the operator to pay taxes at the time of harvest This yield tax removed the burden of an- nual payments on nonproductive land and encouraged to plant trees for another crop on harvested
 
 The definition of tree farm, given by the West Coast Lumberman's Association is; An area of land devoted primarily to the continuous growth of merchantable forest products under consciously applied forestry practices At present. some two mil lions of privately owned land is certified for tree farming about million and half additional acres are in process of certificaon This represents ap- proximaely half of the cutover land Of the North west.
 The West Coast Association has established CO., operative nursery which produce six million Douglas fir seedlings annually at cost Oregon and Washington have established tree farms or State owned land 34 800 in the former; 875000 acres in the latter Last year Congress enacted bill which enables the United States Forest Service to cooperate with owners of private woodlands in approved tree farming practices Tree farming in the Northwest has proved economically sound Millions of in other areas of the nation primarily suited to trees In decades past, have squandered this resource recklessly at present the emergency is causing us to use wood faster than it is being grown. The restoration of woodland resources is matter of national concern

again quit early. The guard had no control over them and didn't really try to exercise any. When I asked him to get the names of those who had spent part of the afternoon sitting in the shade, he tried, but they refused to give their names.
 I wrote a report to the Provost Marshals office at Camp Meade, and they investigated the matter, but in the end they acted as if it were my fault. They white-washed the prisoners, did not even put them on bread and water
 Maryland farmers around me suggested that I not do anything more about the matter for fear the Army would take the prisoners away from the country where they were badly needed. In view of the manpower shortage on all the farms said nothing
 But today as I near eyewitness accounts of the manner in which the ,Nazis have shot down com- panies of American prisoners in cold blood, and how American prisoners have been woefully under nourished and mistreated, I con- fess that my blood boils. I wonder if there isn't something radically wrong with the Provost Marshal and his whole handling of German prisoners.

Ia great need to keep workers working steadily And wages are high
 However, because this power is being abused it seems doubtful that when things return to normal that this power will be retained
 The last issue of Time magazine reported num- Der of strikes
 Industrial Detroit seethed with bitter squabbes. Work stoppages constantly interrupted production of drely needed goods:
 "Test drivers at the Chrysler tank arsenal threat ened to strike because the proving grounds were dusty When the company sprinkled them the drivers threatened to strike because they were too wet
 At another plant, where man was suspended three days for sleeping on the job, fellow workmen walked out stayed away until the suspension expired. At still another workers left the job because tele phone close to their machines taken out, in the interest of better production. Workers at another plant stopped work for meeting on grievances, found they had none to mention, went back to work again." etc
 Such things as these do not stand well with the men now at the fighting fronts and who, when they return probably will form into the most powerful political group this nation has seen These men, most of them from labor groups, would have good reason to feel that they are being stabbed in the backs

NAZI NON-COMS

From my own brief experience and from talking to officials in the Provosts Marshal's office, I gather that German prisoners are left largely under the command of their own non-commissioned officers. The second batch of prisoners I had were under a full -blooded Nazi, a non-com, and in addition, the rest of them seemed as Nazified as Hitler himself.
 There may be some good un- Nazified non-coms ill the German Army, but in view of what we know of the German Army, the odds probably are against it. On the face of it, therefore, I should think the Provost Marshal would try to break up the Nazi non- commissioned officer system instead Iof continuing it in our own prison camps.
 I should think also that there must be some way of wedding out the good prisoners from the bad, for obviously the first batch of prisoners I had was reasonably good. But if they are thrown with men like the second batch, they are not going to remain that way long.
 International treaties are import and and I am not one to advocate hastily tearing them up. But when the Germans have already torn up

LABOR IN POWER

The labor or pro-labor element in the Territorial push just about any it desires through that body Two years ago that wasn't the case. Last week bill which would revised the Terri torys Workmen's Compensation Law along lines sug- gested by labor itself and the U. S. Department of Labor was tossed out the window by indefinite post ponement.
 Laborte Rep Chris Jennings made the motion which led to the bills downfall, and voting along with him were such labor, or pro-abor as Reps A. B. Cain, Joe Krause Fred Hanford, Frank Peratrovich and others.
 The reason the bill was fought apparently was good bill but because it introduced by someone not from their own ranks.
 The bill drawn up, following suggestions from the U. S. Department of Labor by Commissioner of Labor Walter Sharpe. proposed draft sent around time before the Legislature convened and received endorsements from large number of unions It also endorsed by the Alaska Terri toral Federation of Labor at its recent convention here.
 good many amendments probably were needed. Yet the House has passed very few bills this session without string of amendments, and this bill was actually the first in the hopper when the session opened
 Labor certainly gained nothing by the move and it seems to us therefor that the power not wisely used It may be that when the Legislature meets two years from now, the House will be looking out for other things beside labof

thing At night the Serbian widows collected the prisoners shoes and slept on them. Few ran away and they were always caught.
 At noon the 10 German prisoners sat under tree, ate their lunches and sang songs. The guard did not go near them. After one hour they went back to work. At the end of the day paid the Government 30 cents an hour for each prisoner, or $3 an hour for the 10. The prisoners in turn received 80 cents day, the amount set by the Geneva Convention. The Govern ment kept the rest to pay for haul ing, feeding and handling prisoners.
 The whole thing worked out well, so well that week later when the Farm Bureau could spare addi- tional prisoners I had 10 more.
 But this time it was different The first lot had been captured in Normandy, the second lot had been taken in North Africa. They were part of Rommels Afrika Korps. l don't know what the difference is between Nazi prisoners taken in Africa and those taken in France, unless 1t was that Rommels troops were more Nazified, but I do know that the second goup was insolent, lazy, impossible to manage and more trouble then they were worth.
 They were given exactly the same job as the other prisoners, but they did about half as much work Two or three insisted on sitting in the shade whenever they felt like it When I called this to the attention of the guard he seemed helpless He said that if he ordered them around 1t would be worse
 The guard, incidentally had hung his rifle on the truck which my wife was driving between the corn field and the silo. and eventually it bounced off and fell on the ground A prisoner picked it up. looked to see if it were loaded Git wasn't and threw it back on the truck.
 At noon hour they quit early and wouldn't go back to work until they felt like it, which was 1C minutes late. They complained that some apples We gave them were wormy. The Geneva Convention they. said, paid them 80 cents a day, and they were going to give us 80 cents worth of work.

TUESDAY; MARCH IS, 1s45

NAhAtSAh Acs A~Hc Benefic aspects dominate today, which should bring good news from war fronts. In Congress, reason should oversome prejudices.
 Heart And Home
 This is the time for elimination of all superfluous articles in the home. Astrologers advise disposal of whatever is not in use, for many needs are to be supplied in homes of every type. Secondhand articles are now as desirable as new were in prewar days.
 Business Affairs
 Punishment of buyers in black markets will be widely advocated as illicit merchandise extends. The stars presage greater scarcities of manufactured wares and increased demand for shoes and cotton goods.
 National Issues
 As if in rebuke of Nazi purges, the outcome of world war is to be marked by such a blending of blood among the peoples of the world as never has been previously possible. The seers declare that race preju- dice must be plotted out by Am erican consciousness.
 International Affairs
 According to the stars, the Nazis
  desperate fighting will cause the United Nations serious delays and losses in their drive on Berlin until final victory is attained.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of ad justments to changing financial conditions. It is wise to watch ex- penditures on luxuries or pleasures.
