OUR AMERICAN EARL
The Eighth Earl of Portsmouth, on
1y recently just plain Oliver Henry
Wallop, Jr., pionecer of the Big Horn
country, had a title long before his
brother, the Seventh Earl, died in
London. It was “dean” of the colony
of mnoble English families settled
about his ranch.
Wallop proposes to retain that (i
tle and retain with it the dual status
of Anterican citizen and British peer.
The atmosphere absorbed here for 42
years predominates and if there are
no complications, Wallop will go to
Englang long enough for the formal
ipvestiture of the title and return to
Wyoming,
The Rarl of Portsmouth came to
the Big Horn country when he was 29
vears of age. Shortly there followel

tish nobleman, He acquired o ranch
near the Wallop homestvad. It was
not long hefore Maleolm Monerieffe
a brother, came to form th nuclens
of the colony.
A new bond 'was formed when Wal
lop married .\llit;.-s Margzuerite Walker
of Frankfort, Ky., and Mrs. Wallop's
’>is-,‘(-r became the bride of Malcolm
Moncrieffe.
{ The Moncricffe and Wallop ranches
are the stronghold of the colony to
dav,
The Wallop ranch home, however,
lacks the picturesqueness of the wes'-
ern ranch house of fiction. It is a

panse of dirveways and fronts on a

yons and mountains,
Malcolm Moncrieffe built a “polo
ranch” with a stately English manor
set in a grove of trees, In that home
were the heirlooms and treasured he.
longings of a lifetime. A mystery
fire, however, razed the home last
vear while the Moncrieffes were re
turning from a visit to England. Mon
crieffe, who is president of the Sheri
dan County Wool Growers' Associa
tion and one of the leading flock mas
ters of Wyoming, plans to rebuild
on the same site.
William Moncrieffe finally settled
farther north and became the owner
of the county’s “show place”. Later
he sold out to Bardford Brinton,
wealthy New Yorker, and returned to
England.
Other Englishment have followed
the bend of the Big Ilorn northward
and settled in the vicinity of Dayton.
One of them, Jack Milward, has turn
ed his property—+the 1 X L ranch—
into a “dude ranch.” Another, Cal.
vert Rudston, has a beautiful ranch
along the waters of the Tongue rivvr.;
Most of the Britishers have hecome
American citizens and have turred
their energies to the development of
the “old west”., The Earl, after be
coming a citizen, was elected to the
Wyoming legislature on the ropuhll-%
can ticket and served his ud()ptwfl
state for two ycars. ‘
BETTER 'AIRSHIPS
Destruction of the Shenandoah wili
point the way immediately to several
important changes in dirigible con
struction in the opinion of Ralph 11.
Upson, former international balloon
champion and now chief engineer of
the Aireraft Development Corporation
He and others of the Corporation
told government officials they were
prepared to build nfldirigihl() of a new
type. Mr. Upson outlined three les.
sons which he saig should be learned
from the story of the Shenandoal.
The next dirigible, he said, should
he covered with thin, light metal in
stead of fabric, should have a much
greater diametor compared to its
its length, and should have its con
trol car fastened more securely to the
frame,
‘“The Shenandoah's loss of life was
not large relative Yo the total number
on board, and the fatalities would
have been almost etiminated had the
control car heen more rigidly attach
«d o the hull,” said Upson. |
“The fact that the airship broke in
two is an cqually direct result of it
excessive slenderness. 1t used to be
thought that a long pencil shape was
necessary for speed, but recent stu
dies and experiments show conclusive-
Iy that air resistance can be reduced
with more compact shapes. The most
improveq hull shape has only one
third the Shenandoah's length, com.
pared to its diameter. Experiments
also show that it is possible to make
an airship completely stable,
Improvements in stability alone
would greatly reduce the require
ments for safety-valve capacity, al
though there is no good reason for
rot having plenty of safety valves.
Another important requirement is to
allow plenty of pressure range from
valve operation. The Shenandoah
could stand safely a pressure of only
10 millimeters of water of about one
one-thousandth of an atmosphere. Air
ships now can be built to stand many
times that pressure.
“lerhaps the greatest disadvantage
of the Shenandoah was its fabrie cov.
en—easily torn, inflammable, loose
and flapping when dry, straining the
framework [\\'hou wet, soaking up
thousands of pounds of water and
soon worn out. Before long this ‘kite
construction' will be a thing of the
past, replaced by metal clad airships,
\
with rigid metal covering. g @l !
“The faults of the Shenandoah 'J‘rc
ro discredit to the n;én who designed
2nd built her. They took the best
that was available at the time.”
DRY WEATHER AND THE TREES
The summer of 1925 'will be re
membered utl recorded for many
years to come as a dry season in this
and neighboring states. From the
standpoint of the Horticulturist, and
Forester, its influence will be felt
longer than with other branches of
agriculture, During the season the
problem of those interested in tree
conservation, whether for pleasure or
profit, has been a problem not of mak
ing a good growth, nor of producinz
an attractive appearance, but of ac
tually preserving the life of the tree:.
It has been a problem not of increas
ing the tree population, but of pre
serving the existing stand of trees.
The summer has been a trying time
for the trees of the forest, grove, or
ornamental park. During the extreme
drouth most of the smaller streams
have been dry and the larger streams
are less than half their normal size.
Thus the supply of water in the for
est is inadequate for the trees and
few cities ang towns lLave provisions
for watering ornamental trees in dry
ceasons, Consequently tree life, from
the youngest to the oldest, from the
barren hillsides to the rich lowlands,
bas suffered from drouth. In a wood
-lot on the Georgia Experiment Sta
tion grounds one hundred trees § to
;‘.‘q mches in dizunqt(:l‘ were counted,
iuml nineteen of them were dead of
drouth. In some instances observed
the dead trees have numbered asl
high 25 to 30 percent of the entire
tres population of a given area.
The fact that some sections of wood
lots contribute more to the ilst of
dead trees than other sections, and
that seme individual trees survivee
after most of the surrounding trees
are dead, suggests that there might be
some concrete causes for the varia
tion. Consequently the writer has
made a number of counts, and has ob
gerved thousands of trees on many
types of soil, and in various locations.
These observations may be of some
benefit to those charged with the re
gponsibility of setting and preserving
trees in the future.
1t is commen horticultural prac
tice to put litter on land.to conserve
moisture. Thig litter may be the ac
cumulated dead leaves and twigs them

Juateial %flifid to the land.” Many of
c 7‘-’355?. gorqus and @pouth resist
art trecs that were found were trees
that had not had the benefit of a lit
ter; they were trees so located that
either the water, w 4, fire or animals
had not zallowed the litter to accumu
' late for years. And on the other hand
at leiwst two of the locations where
we hiwe :=een the greatest percent
age o) decad trees, were locations
where the land had nst been cleared
of litte~ for a decade or more. In
general we conciude that the pres
ence of litter on the land serves for
neither re sistance or susceptibility of
the trees, to drouth.
While some of the extreme swamp
lands have not become dry enouzh to
cause the trees to die; a large part
of the common lowlands have be
come so 0; and numerous dead trees
have been found on land that was or
dinarily wet and boggy. Looking over
areas of several miles, that highest
fmoralily‘; of trees may be found in
lthe lowlands rather than on the hill
| sides. As a rale, however, the nat
lm‘z:l locaiion of the trees counted
neither for mnor against their ability
}u, withstand drouth. Often times
{rees die weorst in locations where tho‘
{rees are most numerous. ‘
Trees dicd from drouth that varied
from less thhan an inch in diameter to

BRITISH CIGARETTES
John Bull, like Uncle Sam is meet
ing with difficulties in trying to regu
late personal habits by legislation. It
is not so much drink as smoking that
is causing the Home Office worry.
There is a law that compels tobac
co shops to close every evening at
cight. It was enacted during the war
to save fuel, lights, etc., and release
a certain amount of labor for employ
ment more essential to the winning
of the w;ir than selling cigarettes and
cigars, The law is still in force and

But it is being evaded.! Many to
bacco shops, upon closing," their doors
at night, leave outside a st ot machine
which delivers cigareetes to anyone
who puts in a sixpence or a shilling,
There are even penny ma chines that
deliver a couple of “gasper 5" to those
who insert a huge British copper.
