The King of the Greeks
According to tho dispatches of Monday morning,
Prince Taul states that ho will yield to the powers
that be and take. the Greek throne. It is not much
of a Job and the Greeks are perhaps less concerned
who holds it than tho greater powers of Europe arc.
Trince Taul, the dead king's younger hrother is the
logical heir. Little is known of him outside of Greece.
The direct heir would be Prince George, his elder
brother, but for the fact that he elected to take the
side of the Germans during the war, following the
direction of his strong-minded mother, the sister of
the late kaiser, and who also drove Constantino Into
the German camp and obscurity.
What might have been the sympathies of Prince
Paul in that struggle is not known. He probably had
none. At any rate he did not Incur the enmity of
Venizelos and the allies. He would no doubt, make a
good puppet king and that is all that Europe demands
of a Greek king. '
There are, some things that could not have es-'
caped the attention of Prince Paul however, casual
minded he may be. One is that it is a. good thing to
have avoided the Germans in the late war and prob
ably a good thing not to get too friendly with them
even now. Another thing that must have been im
pressed upon him is that it is risky even for a king
to play with a monkey, for it was a monkey bite that
caused the death of Alexander. We are reminded
that there was another Greek Alexander who died in
a still more foolish way, in consequence of an At
tempt to drink more wine than any man had pre
viously held, thereby not only dying but alienating
the affections of the Greek prohibitionists of that day.
Prince Paul, however, though the most likely
candidate is not the only one. There is another
Prince George, his uncle. lie would probably not be
acceptable to France, since he married a Bonaparte
princess.
Constantine himself would like to stage a come
1 back but tha?l is regarded as one of the very improb
able things. He is in Switzerland, in a receptive
mood, and it is said that the Swiss are tired of him.
They would perhaps like to . see him king again only
that they might be rid of him.
There Is a party in Greece, but a very small one,
that yet dreams of the late king's return to. the throne
and is ungrateful enough to denounce Venizelos the
man who saved Greece, as a usurper and a dictator.
P.ut Greece seems to have turned definitely and final
ly away from the fallen monarch.
The talk of establishing a new dynasty when
King Alexander's death seemed liktly is said to be no
longer heard in Greece. If some scion or the Olden
berg family were not available for the kingship there
will probably be no king and Venizelos, the greatest
of the Greeks and one of the greatest of the states
men of Europe will become the actual head of the
nation which he has wisely and courageously guided
through the greatest of world crises.
But whoever may be king of Greece will be a
pygmy beside Venizelos and will be constantly under
the thumb of that statesman If he should expect to
remain on the throne. ,

EDUCATION IS ROAD TO FAME
Figures presented by an Indianapolis bank show
that of 5,000,000 children with no schooling, thirty
one attain distinction. Of 33,000,000 with elementary
schooling tho number to gain distinction is 808. Two
million, with a high school education, show distinc
tion gained by 1,245. Out of 1.000,000 who go through
college, 768 become distinguished in pome walk of
life. Less than 1 per cent of tho men in America are
college bred, yet this small percentage, has furnished
55 per cent of the American presidents. 54 per cent
of tho vice presidents, 62 per cent of the secretaries
of state. 50 per cent of the secretaries of the treasury,
C2 per cent of the attorneys general, 57 per cent of
the speakers of the house and 63 per cent of the ku
premo court justices. With a college education 1 he
child has one chance in 173, with a high school edu
cation ono chance in 1H06, with elementary schooling
alone one chance, in 40.X41 and with no schooling one
chance in 161,200.
The. bank's object in presenting such statistics is.
to create new business. It seeks parents who are
wilting to start an educational account for their
children, arguing that unless there is systematic sav
ing no fund will be available for higher education
when the time comes for it.
Tho bank might have shown by its own figures
that the educated man, being more successful than
his fellows, has money to deposit in banking institu
tions. Tho further down ii; the educational scale the
less likelihood there is of finding thrift or money with
which to open bank accounts. To one college failure
there are thousands of those who had no opportunity
to make a fair fight for success. Education is not an
experiment; it is an investment that nearly always
pays big dividends. Indianapolis News.

WORK OF THE FORT VALLEY
FOREST EXPERIMENT STATION
Telwve years ago, in August. 1308.
the first forest experiment station in
the United States was established at
Fort Valley, near Flagstaff, Arizona.
During tho five years following, simi
lar stations were established in Colo
rado, Montana. Oregon,- California and
Minnesota. The idea was not new,
since European forest experiment sta
tions have been in existence since
1870. In this country it had a prece
dent in the agricultural experiment
stations which are to be found in every
state.
Forest experiment stations axe sim- !
ilar to agricultural experiment stations
in principle, though different in de
tail. The fundamental idea in both
is that of permanency a permanent
organization, a permanent staff of
workers and a permanent plant pro
viding facilities for carrying experi
mental work over long periods of
years: " The system is particularly
well adapted to forest investigations
because of the slow development of
x forest trees as compared with agri
cultural crops and the consequent
long periods required to obtain results.
Nowhere in the United States is this
feature fo outstanding is in the south
west, where nature requires 200 to
300 years to mature a forest and 20
years to restock it. after the timber
crop has been harvested. In mode of
operation the two types of stations
are as different as the growing and
harvesting of farm crops and the grow
ing and harvesting of timber. The
agricultural investigator works largely
under artificially controlled conditions.
His field experiments are on rel.ryiy i
small plots of tilled land w;iere he1
seeks to work out new scler,jfic facts
or to apply the latest discoveries of
science to the arts of planting culti
vation, fertilization, irrjgation and
harvesting.
The forester, on th otner band,
must deal exclusively wuh conditions

pretentious than the agricultural ex
periment stations. The latter are
usually located in densely populated
communities and well supported 'fi
nancially, thus enabling them to com
mand the best of scientific talent,
buildings and other equipment. Forest
experiment stations, in order to be in
the forest, are situated in more or less
remote localities. ' They are pioneers
in a new activity almost unknown to
the general public. Because of inade
quate financial support they lack
many of the material things which
arc considered necessary to make their
work a success. A mighty asset pos
sessed by these stations, however, is
the spirit of devotion and youthful
enthusiasm on the part of their scien
tific men, which has Impelled them to
make the personal sacrifices necessary
to achieve success under difficulties,
a spirit which is characteristic of the
entire forest service and which is as
sociated with the forestry movement
everywhere in this country.
The Forest Valley . experiment sta
tion was established at Flagstaff in
order to meet the pressing need for
forest research In the southwest and
particularly in the Flagstaff region,
where lumbering is most extensive
and where consequently the most per
plexing forest problems exist. From
the outset, investigating relating to
the natural .reproduction of western
yellow pine occupied the foreground
in tne program or the experiment sta
tion. Because 0f the imDortance of
ibis t'ree'and the difficulties attending
H. perpetuation, this is bv far the big
gest forest problem in the southwest.
It is true that in some sections, due
largely to fortunate circumstances, re
production is not an object of concern;
but the fact remains that unless for
esters have the situation so well in
hand that thev can feel reasonably
sure of reproduction on any area which
is logged, thev are not practicing for
estry but are merely exploiting the
rt-sourees which nature has placed in
their hands. Other investigations
taken up were artificial reforestation:
normal rate of growth and decav: in
fluence of the forest on climatic con
ditions, the melting of snow and sur
face runoff; and lastlv a study at
tempting to ascertain the growth re
quirements of all the more import
ant trees in the southwest.
Attempts at artificial reforestation
met with consistent failure everywhere
in Arizona and New Mexico prior to
1910. Investigations by the Fort Val
ley experiment station proved that
methods by which the seed is planted
directly in the field are too uncertain.
but that success can be attained by
setting out nursery grown transplants.
It was found that the coniferous stock
produced Dv commercial nurseries
could not withstand the extreme cli
matic conditions of the southwest, and
that it was necessary to use stock
which was not only acclimated, but
also equipped with the right kind of
root system. After three years of ex
perimentation, transplants were pro
duced in the nursery at Fort Vallev
which withstood field planting with
very little loss. Since then successful
plantations aggregating several hun
dred acres have been established on
the Coconino national forest in Arizona
and the Gila and Santa Fo national
forests in New Mexico. These plan
tations are not confined to nine but
also deal with the reforestation of fir
and spruce burns in the high moun
tains. On account of the high cost of
planting incident to the drv climate
and stonv soil, coupled with the slow
trrowih end consequent Imv finani!
returns, ninntin is rt bbig e Mo".

' tr.o prfent time. It id reurd-l :ts .,:-,
auxiliary measure to be applied where
natural reproduction is unpromising,
as, for example, where fire or destruc
tive lumbering has removed the seed
trees. In this role, planting will even
tually assume an important place in
the management of our forests.
By means of: permanent sample
Plots it is possible to maintain an ac
curate record of what actuallv takes
place in the forest, so that after 10.
20 or 30 years a complete and authen
tic history of areas under observation
becomes available. From 1909 to 1913
42 plots having a total area of 193,
acres were established on six national
forests in Arizona and New Mexico,
Each plot is mapped to scale, showing
the exact location of every tree. erouD
of seedlings, stumps, logs, brush piles
and other features. The diameter,
height and lull description of every
tree is recorded bv number. Periodic
measurements show the rate of growth
as well as death, or injury from light
ning, windfall, insects, disease and
other agencies. Annual examinations
on a number o plots furnish a record
of the occurrence of seed crops, eer
minatlon and survival of seedlings
unuer various conditions. These plots,
the oldest of which were established
11 years ago. are already yleldinir a
mass of information obtainable bv no
other means: but the records become
more valuable each vear. and it is onlv
after 20 or more years that anything
approaenmg full .returns will be
realized.
Records in the forest and in a4join
ing open areas have shown that the
forest greutly reduces wind and evapo
ration, and modifies the extremes of
temperature, particularly low temper
ature. Snow melts more rapidly in
the forest than in the open during the
winter, nut less rapidly in the Bprlng
The result is a less torrential but more
sustained surface runoff and less ero
sion on forested than on non-forested
areas.
In 1816 an Investigation known as the
study of forest types was Initiated, its
immediate object to secure an accurate
knowledge of the physical condition
prevailing in the various forest types
or forest tree associations. Having ob
tained this Information it will be pos
sible to make a close estimate of the
soil and climatic requirements of dif
ferent species and particularly the fac
tors limiting their distribution. Since
the occurrence of a given tree specie
or association of species is indcative of
physical conditions coresponding to
their requirements, trees may be used
as '"indicators'' of soil and climate.
From November. J?16. to Jan. 1, 1920,
a series of six instrument statlorg was
maintained at various altitudes extend-
ng from the woo.nanrt at oiyv ieei to
timber line at 11,000 feet. Continuous
records of air temperature, soil tem
perature, precipitation, evaporation
and wind were secured mainly by
means of self-recording instruments.
Those stations were visited weekly,
summer and winter throughout the
three years. Studies have also been
made of the moisture content and other
properties of soils, and the relative
moisture requirements of different
tree species in the seedling stage. This
investigation, which is still in prog
ress, is expected to yield valuable fun
damental data, of direct or indirect ap
plication to many forest problems.
The problem which is of most imme
diate importance and which, unfor
tunately, has proved to be the most
perplexing and time consuming is that
of securing natural reproduction of
western yellow pine. A general survey
of the situation in 1908 resulted in es
tablishing certain broad conclusions.
It was found that, contrary to pre
vailing opinions, considerable numbers
of seed trees were necessary; that large
crops of seedlings had become estab
lished only under unusually favorable
combinations of seed production and
rainfall; and that under certain condi
tions excessive damage was done by
grazing. Later investigations substan
tiated the above conclusions and de
veloped additional facts. Records dur
ing the period of 12 years on the per
manent sample plots previouslv de
scribed have shown that as a rule seed
crops are borne only every other year
and that good seed crops have occurred
only at Intervals of about 5 years; that
the seed sometimes fails to germinate
for lack of moisture and thtt in some
years when moisture conditions are
favorable there is no seed; that of the
seedlings which do germiiate rarely
more than 1 or 2 per cent survive;
that despite this great moitality a few
seedlings survive from Almost every
seed crop, so that as a result of this
slow but reasonably certain cumulative
process, areas which arc well provided
with seed trees and properly protected
against fires and unregulated grazing
may be expected to fully restock in
about 20 years. At irregular intervals
often longer than 25 years a single
rop followed by two or more years of
favorable moisture conditions., may re

upon, and therefore, to be sure of re
production, the few seedlings which
become established every two or three
years must be conserved. The heavy
seed crop on the Colorado plateau In
1918 followed by the extremely wet
y ear of 1919 gave promise of recurrence
of Nature's feat 25 years ago, when
large areas became fully stocked as a
result of a single seed crop; but the
dry summer of 1920 has already taken
a heavy toll from the splendid seedling
crop of 1919, and therefore the outcome
still hangs in the balance.
It has required nearly 12 yettrs to
establish these facts and others per
taining to reproduction of western yel
low pine. Administrative details re
main to be worked out, but the scien
tific aspects of the problem are now In
the final stages of solution. Failure-.
to tolve this problem would mean tlt- '
on extensive areas lumbering wouii '
cease with the removal of the preseJit
stand and that eventually the lumber '
industry in the southwest would be
greatly curtailed; but the Information s
brought to light by this Investig'it'on
assures a perpetual utilization; f 'the
vast pine forests of Arizona and New
Mexico without danger of exhaustion.
In the space here allotted It has bren
possible only to sketch in a bvief -way
the work accomplished. Readers who
