woodlands as those of us who
watch and note such things viii
agree. Lumber needed for con.
struction on the farm often must
be bought in town because the
woodlands contain no sawtimber.
The sale of pine logs and OF
stumpage adds very little to the
cash income on the average farm
in relation to the returns posi-
BILE under simple but proper care.
A major problem on farm
woodlands in Holmes county is
to get pines growing on Broom
! straw areas classed as wood
land and to increase the percent
age of pines in woodlands where
hardwoods are becoming domi-
nant.
The simplest means of restock-
ing an area with pines is to let
nature do it. Nature, however,
fails too often to restock our idle
acres with pines because of the
numerous obstacles she must over
come and the complexity of con-
ditions that must exist at the
time she tries.
Pine trees produce some seed
each year but a crop of seed In
sufficient quantities to overcome
natural hazards is produced only
once in three to seven years. So
we see that natural reseeding does
not take place every year and un-
less tree planting is resorted to
man must wait up to seven years
on natures whim.
Pine trees do not reproduce
themselves as profitically as do
Broomstraw, Lespedeza and Ber-
muda grass. In order to get fair
to good reproduction on an acre of
land it is necessary to have as
many as 1900 pine cones or burrs
trees. 1t will take about ten trees
per acre on well distributed seed
to produce this much seed and
the trees will usually have to be
ten inches and larger to produce
seed in sufficient quantities.
Leaving a large pine tree will
not insure reproduction. The tree
left as a seed tree must have a
history as a seed which is evil
denced by its having numerous
old cones which were produced IN
the past ten years.
The production of pine seed is
not immune to the frivolity of
the weather. Seed is born in the
flowers which are the
cones and they are polinated by
the male flowers that give off a
dense cloud of yellow dust-like
in March or April. Rain or
during this time may ruin
the crop. Also when the seed is
mature in October and ready to
be shed, a long rainy period may
cause the cones not to open and
rot the seed held within it.
Birds, insects, rodents, soil con-
litions and fire take their toll
If seeds that might have become
.rees.
For these reasons and others, |

ANCIENT REDWOOD
 THRIVING IN NORTH;
 S0WN IN ALEUTIAN5

The planting of 66 Dawn Red- wood seedlings-thought to have disappeared from earth 20 million years ago but discovered during the war in central China-in AL aska last summer has met with success, according to the Alaska Forest Research Center of Juneau.
 The seedlings of the ancient de- cidious tree were planted in Ju- neau, Ketchikan, Craig, Petersburg, and Sitka and several points to the Westward. Of the entire number, 46 are alive and healthy, Is are still covered with snow or have not yet leafed out, and only five are known to be dead
 Because of these first indications of success, 100 more of these for mer inhabitants of Alaskan forests during prehistoric times will be distributed to far-flung outposts ir the Territory, the research center said
 School teachers of the Alaska Native Service will plant them at points along the Aleutian Chain, and Territorial Department of Ed ,ucation teachers will plant them at other isolated points. A few will be tried in the Fairbanks area.
 With four test areas beyond the present range of tree growth west of Kodiak Island, R. F. Taylor, forester in charge. expressed in- terest in watching to see if they would thrive in the long barren Aleutians.
 The Dawn Redwood, Taylor ex- plained, resembles the redwood of California, but is a different species and ranged over arctic attitudes ages ago.
 It has the habit of shedding its leaves in winter, making it better suited to the long arctic night. .c disappeared from this locality when winters of the far north gave way to seasons of longer and heavier frost.
 The tree moved to what is now the west coast of the United States, and into Japan and Manchuria, but weather changes forced it out. It was thought to have vanished cons ago. But in 1914 a Chinese fores- ter found living Metasequoia-as the tree is knOwn-and its seeds were collected, germinated ard grown in a California greenhouse prior to being distributed here for experimentation.
 This fall and again next spring reports of survival and growth will be obtained, Taylor said. The tree is fast growing, and if it con- tinues to do well here further tests of it's ability to grow under natural conditions in the forest. will be made.

HIxS0N LEARNS HOW RADIO SAVED LIVES
 IN k0YUkUk ICE JAM

Appreciation for the work of the Territorial Department of Com munications and the human in terest story behind a Page one story in The Empire May p have come to Supervisor w. E. tBilD Hixson from Fairbanks.
 Under a Fairbanks dateline Mon- day, The Empire told how fliers from Ladd Air Force Base dropped 800 pounds of bombs to break an ice jam on the Koyukuk River near the isolated Eskimo village of Cut off. This community is about 300 miles west of Fairbanks.
 Hixson has received letter from Sam White, northern bush pilot of 20 years experience. in which he says. in part:
 As you know, Cutoff had ab- solutely no communications before I obtained their radio for them through your good offices. lYey were absolutely defenseless against whatever might assail them, and only obtained relief through hap hazard arrival of plane or on my regular mall trips twice month.
 Friday, Cutoff radio came through to Fairbanks station KAzW With a bona fide emergency message real disaster in the making There was not enough water in the Koyukuk River breakup to carry off the ice, with the result that it damned below Cutoff and backed up, tanning the river full of ice and raising the water very rapidly.
 Knowing the topography there as I do, I understood that the mes sage really was frantic call for help, with not minute to lose. Tn a short time more-a matter of a few hours-high water and blocks of ice on the rampage would have wiped the town out. AS Cut off is completely isolated, the res idents would have no place to go and would probably perish.
 The Air Force at Ladd Field was contacted. They called me and, since Cutoff is on no maps, three officers hurried to my house and I spotted Cutoff in on the map for them. In few hours, they were bombing the ice jam.s They were over the Cutoff country all night and I am told that about 30 bombs were dropped. The jam was broken up and Cutoff was saved from a jor disaster.
 This was clue wholly to the radio you provided for use at Cutoff.
 I will be on floats next week, and as soon as the ice is clear of the river, am going over on a mail and checkup trip. I shall gather all the data I can for your use.

 This represents rise of .25 cents over yesterdays price for large and mediums and l.25 jump for chick ens
 Meanwhile the packer Wanderer skippered by s. A. Stevens. brought 2,500 pounds of salmon to port. These went to Elton Engstrom.
 The boat Elfin II brought 5000 pounds of fish here and sold them to Alaska Coast Fisheries for 37 cents per pound for large reds, and 25 cents for small reds and whites.

"The time for beauty is never

white-haired Powers Girl at my
weekly conference. "It is always
now, no matter how old or how
busy you are!"
All it took to give that bit of
feminine wisdom plenty OF au-
thority was one glance at her alive
face, lithsome figure, exquisite
grooming and engagement chart,
crammed with demands for her
services as a perfect model for
mature clothes.
"Any woman who thinks she
hasn't time for a regular regimen
of exercises, can keep her figure in
trim just by learning to make
every action count toward her
beauty" she continued. mo wo-
man should make any motion at
any time without asking herself,
How can I perform this task or
act so that it will improve my
figure?'"
Want a practical example Of
how to follow through on this en-
inently successful way to beauty?
Well, just consider for minute
the everyday act of climbing
stairs. How you go up and down

FedrOf
Noise
By AnaeIo Patri

There are children, usually city
children. to whom noise is an
infliction. They fear anything
that makes a loud noise. Explo-
sions of sound are painful. The
backf1re of a motor. the roar of
an elevated train, shot from
a toy gun, a f1recracker, sends
them shivering into the house to
hide.
If their parents interpret this
as a sort of cowardice and at
tempt to teach the children to be
brave" the suffering is increased.
If you were ever badly frightened,
scared into q stiffening fright
and had somebody try to laugh
you out of it by saying, "It's moth
ing to be scared of. Don't be
silly!" you have some notion of
a child's feeling when his father
or mother says, Don't be scare
cat. 1t won't hurt you. Shoot off
this cap pistol. Be a brave boy"
The child is in mortal terror of
the pistol, the cap and the noise
they make, and no words are go
ing to remove that fear. It is
inherent in the child. I don't
know why it is there but the best
thing we can do to help the child
overcome it is to accept his fear,
respect his attitude and show
him by our acceptance of the
noises that they are not going to
hurt him. But do skip the guns.
They are an unnecessary blight
on such children's lives. If ever
the time comes that they must
use guns they will be taught by
experts. BY that time most Of
their fears will have vanished.
But they won't vanish if they
are constantly accented by ad-
monitions, commands, entreaties
to be brave. Ask the children's
specialists, those who work in
the hospitals for children. to study
the fear-stricken child. Build up
his health. Take him where he
can have fine fresh air, plenty of
room for play and much quiet.
Children like this have a hard
time battling off the noises Of the
city. Our cities grow worse and
worse in their effects on chill
dren's health and behavior.
The less that is said to the
child about such fears the better.
Treat them indirectly by Great
ing an environment that will not
give rise to them. Take them to
a quiet place on holidays if the
celebrations about his home are
marked by explosive sounds, but
don't explain. Have no toy guns
in the house. Comfort him when
! he shows fear.
