FORESTRY
Chief Forester Graves Discusses
Problem and Proposes Plan.
Not Legislation That la Needed, But
Immediate Beginning of Practical
Operation of Forestry Lum
bermen Can Meet Issue.
New Orleans, La. In addressing
tbe National Lumber Manufacturers'
association the other day Henry 8.
Graves, chief of the forest service
of the United States department of
agriculture, discussed the problem of
private forestry and proposed a plan
for a general test by southern lum
bermen of the practicability of for
entry on their own holdings.
"Tbe more 1 study Into this subject
of private forestry," said Mr. Graves,
"the more 1 am convinced that what
is needed is not Immediate legisla
tion, but an immediate beginning of
the practical operation of forestry, and
I am convinced that the results of
such a beginning will be conclusive
evidence that American lumbermen
are fully capable of meeting the con
servation problem both from the
standpoint of the remanent require
ments of the lumber trade and from
that of the continued prosperity of tbe
public at large."
Forester Graves held that for
most large owners to Introduce lor
eBtry immediately over their entire
holdings would not be practical from
a business standpoint, because this
would involve making a considerable
Investment in the dark. It could not
be told either what forestry would
cost them or what It would bring
them. Further, a preliminary work
ing out of the exact methods of cut
ting and fire protection needed should
be obtained. Therefore Mr. Graves
proposed: (1) That those lumbermen
who are interested In this matter
make an Immediate test of the prac
tise of forestry on their holdings;
(2) that this be regarded as a begin
ning with a view of ascertaining the
possibility of forestry, rather than an
attempt to establish an organized sys
tem of forestry over his entire hold
ings; (3) that to accomplish this ob
ject they associate themselves to
gether either through their trade as
sociations, or by a new association. In
order that through co-operation and
partnership the expenses of, forestry
may be reduced to a minimum; (4)
that each owner set aside from 1,000
to 10,000 acres as a practical demon
stration ground; (5) that there be em
ployed by the association a forester
to direct the technical work, his sal
ary and expenses to be properly pro
rated among all the members; (6)
that each owner employ such lo
cal guards or rangers as are neces
sary to carry out the Are regulations.
. restriction pt cutting, etc.
j Mr. Graves warned the lumbermen
J that if they did not themselves move
. in the matter they were likely to find
the publlo taking aetlon to prevent the
impoverishment of states through for
est destruction. There la no Ques
tion." be said, "that there 1 a strong
tendency toward state legislation look
. looking to aome kind of restriction on
private lands; - Bills have -actually
been Introduced in state legislatures
caving In view legal restrictions as to
how the timber should be cut The

owners to recognlzo that they have a
responsibility to handle the property
so that it will not result in an Im
poverishment of a state."
The opening for forestry with early
returus through leaving the smaller
timber for a second cut was dwelt
upon, but it was pointed out that real
forestry is not practised unless re
production is provided for. Mr.
Graves recognized that the long-time
investment involved In tree-planting
on deforested land Is not, under aver
age conditions at the present time, an
attractive one to lumbermen; nor did
he urge it. "If you should ask my
advice as to whether you should buy
denuded lands in the south and plant
them on a large scale as an Invest
ment, I should advise against It In
my Judgment the question of financial
returns from private forestry should
not be looked at from a theoretical
standpoint of purchasing land and
planting trees; but rather from the
standpoint of the management of for
ests already under timber. I believe
that the average American lumberman
Is not much more interested in natu
ral reproduction than he is in planta
tions. Nevertheless, I believe that
the question of reproduction is well
worth your attention on practical
grounds, even though you have not
the interest of the owners who are
planning a heritage for their chil
dren and grandchildren, or of the cor
poration organized on such a perma
nent basis as to look far Into the fu
ture. Already in the best settled por
'7bo Much Johnson" Here
Only Way Nebraska Town Can Iden
tify Them Is by Giving Each
Man a Number..
Newman Grove, Neb. Instead of it
being used as a slang expression here,
this little town and the community
round about Is afflicted with "too much
Johnson." Erie Johnson, cashier of
the Newman Grove State bank, Is the
man here who Is authority for de
claring that there is "too much John
son." "I believe there are more Johnsons
to the square inch in and around this
town than anywhere else In tbe world,
figuring on the same area. I have
counted them up, and find that, taking
this town as a center, there are 958
Johnsons within a radius of 12 miles,
and of these 629 have tbe Christian
name of John.
"A check drawn on the local bank
will not be paid If it Is simply signed
'John Johnson,' no matter what the
standing of the Johnson may be.
Neither will the indorsement 'John
Johnson,' be accepted at the bank or
any of the stores. There are so many
of them that we have to adopt another
method."
Here is the method as explained
by Cashier Johnson, though not one
of the Johns:
The ' bank and the stores have
decided that while tbe Johnsons
who do business hero are . entitled to
credit, there must be some way of
Identifying . them and not making
charges against one particular one,
when the charges may lack several
hundred points of being correct The
merchants and banker have agreed
that one John Johnson shall be "John
Johnson No. 1." the next, "Johnson
No. 2," and so until all of the t29

WASHINGTON". Of deep Interest to the entire
American continent, from the Great Iakes to
Cape Horn, is the formal opening and dedication
of tbe beautiful marble palace erected in Wash
ington nB a permanent home for the Interna
tional Bureau of the American Republics. Andrew Car
negie, who donated $750,000 for the erection of the
building, rails it a palace of peace, and It is his hope and
that of nil concerned in the work of the bureau, that it
will occupy for the republics of the western hemisphere
the same position that the peace palace at The Hague,
also tbe gift of Mr. Carnegie, does for tbe nations of the
world. All of the American republics are represented on
tbe governing board of the bureau, and all are Joint
proprietors of the handsome structure which in the fu
ture will bouse Director John Barrett and bis associates
in the work of promoting amity and Intercourse among
thpxe nations. The building is happily designed to com

ticularly ideusinR feature being the large patio or inner
courtyard, in which is a pretty fountain.
tions of our country land well stocked
with young growth brings a higher
price than denuded land. Even the
land speculator who has no interest
In permanent forestry may well take
this into account. Reproduction can
be secured naturally in most cases
where a second cut is contemplated.
I believe that it is emphatically worth
while, in the first place, for the sake
of the increased sale value of natural
forest land after the present stand
has been removed, if it Is then well
stocked with young growth. In the
second place, I believe that the perma
nent interests of the lumber business
not only Justify but demand such a
handling of your forest property."

Tbe Johnsons take to the idea
kindly and like it so well that they

that when they write letters to them
they address them by number as well
as by name. In this way, they figure
that if a letter received at the office

easy matter to find out who la to

Finds Needle After Eleven Years.
Philadelphia. After traveling

needle which had entered the foot of

But as time went on and It gave her
no trouble she forgot the needle.
The other day she felt a sharp pain
