TWO THE PENS ACOLA JOURNAL, SATURDTY MORNING. AFRIL 17, 1920 PALESTINE TO EfiPROVE LANDS RECLAMATION PLANS ARE OUT LINED TO ZIONIST ORGANIZA TION BY FORESTRY EXPERTS. New York, April 16. Palestine's population capacity could easily be greatly increased by improving the lnads now unsuitable for colonization, accorlins to Prof. E. Kern, noted Russian forestry, expert, in a state ment prepared in Petrograd and issued by the Zionist Organization of Amer ica tcday. Prcf. Kern points out that if Pales tine's population of 600,000 were doubled, the present density of pop illation of 13 per square kilometre would then only equal that of Euro pean Russian and would be almost 10 times less than the density of popuia tion of Belgium. "By checking the sandy, hills on the coast, draining the swamps, fixing the shifting ravines, regulating the moun tain streams, re-establishing the de stroyed terraces and building up new ones, the present untenable lands may be transformed into very valuable estates," he declared. "The carrying out cf the above works will both Im prove, hygienic conditions and help to restore a regular water supply, in aa dition to increasing vastly the pop ulatlfn capacity of the country." Prcf. Kern, who achieved an inter- natioaal reputation by his sylvi-cul tural work for the old Russian gov- ernment by whom he was frequently sent to other countries, advocates a complete afforestration program for Palestine, not only to improve the land, "but to establish the basket making and paper industries, both of which he claims have great possibili ties in the Holy Land. "Nurseries of willows suitable for baskc t-making, should be laid out and planted at once," Prof. Kern said. "Basket-making will prove to be a profitable home industry, as willow baskets are better than anything else to ship fruit in and Palestine will have a large fruit industry. It is very es eential therefore that a school of basket-making be started at once." He also urges the cultivation of -the Algerian "Alfa" grass for the fixation of the drafting sand3 and also as a raw material for the paper-making Industry. Prcf. Kern expects the afforestation program to be put into effect in a tshort while through the $10,000,000 Palestine Restoration Fund, which the Zionist Organization of America is raising in non-sectarian campaigns throughout the United States. Because of the urgency of the work of pre paring Palestine as soon as possible to absorb the vast mass-migration which wilL come to it as soon aa th British mandate is established, he advised the immediate establishment of a School of Forestry, with a one year'n course, to prepare expert for esters, to aid in carrying out the pro posed work. "Tl 9- edar trees which still stand on the slopes of Lebanon must be pre serve! as a natural treasure," he con eluded, "for in all the reconstruction wor kplanned in the Holy Land, the spots made sacred by their historical and religious connection, will be touched."

No more valuable studies of scien tific problems have ever been made in this country under government aus pices than those made prior to and during the war by the Naval Consult ing Board, of which Thomas A. Edi son was the chairman. This board still is in existence and may be called Into the service of the government at any time there arises a difficult prob lem in either the peace work or the war activities of the navy. With the return of stable conditions throughout the world we shall be ready to take up again and upon a larger scale the works of exploration and discovery which in the past have been so large a part of the American navy's daily task. In the days to come Amerr lean vessels will sail every sea, chart every river and the nation will see its flag floating above commerce laden ships in every harbor.

Separate coats are unusually interesting this year, combining as they do a very cer tain chic with a distinctly prac tical appeal. The new sport coats claim most interest. Hera is a model adapted from a Bernard (Paris) importa tion of rust-color tricotine with tan and rust-checked broadcloth used in the roll-back cuffs, in the .belt and tabs and in edging in the collar. The coat is in two parts, the top part being plain, fasten ing blindly up the center front. The skirt portion is moderately full and gathered all around, then it is attached to the top portion with a little less fullness across the front than at the sides and back. The hat is a little turban shape of rust-colored taffeta with black wings arranged to form a peaked crown, the accenting note to the costume. ROBERTS TELLS ABOUT DIPPING INSISTS PRACTICE HAS PROVED VALUE OF DIPPING BECAUSE OF DISAPPEARANCE OF FEVER. Edward Roberts), who lives on Route 2, believes the agitation against the com pulsory dipping law is ill-timed and bad business. Dipping, he says, has proved to be beneficial because cattle fever has practically disappeared, the cattle are in better condition, etc. The following . let ter from Mr. Roberts is interesting:: Kditor Pensacola Journal, Dear Sir: I would like ta state my views on cattle dipping. I have just read a very amusing article on this subject in to day's Journal by Mr. C. C. Keyser. He is evidently as well posted on dipping cattle as a certain candidate who de clares he found acid in the dipping so lution but failed to ten us what kind of acid and to what extent or how deadly. He probably thought his acid declaration would suffice, especially when made to us "rubes and hill billies." Mr. Keyser says he believes the law was fostered by tHe packing house in terests and that a candidate favoring it would fail to get a vote among cattle owners except those of the hirelings of the bunch who passed it. He hereby arraignes the majority of the voters who voted on the tick eradication election in this county, as hirelings of the beef trust, as it was by this means we ob tained the law. Mr. Keyser is also opposed to univer sal dipping. Says the fluid often kills cattle and that wild animals raise ticks. Universal dipping ..is necessary, due to the roving nature of cattle and to the numberless excuses it eliminates. I live In the country and am next door neighbor to a dipping vat. And would like to state right here that I am one of the "hirelings' who helped to make the law possfble. The fluid in our vat is carefully tested for consistency each dipping day before a cow is permitted to enter it. I have seen hundreds of cattle dipped and never saw a fatality trace able to an unbalanced fluid. But peo ple who do not see these things are apt to be misled by such statements as Mr. Keyser' s. The cattle on our ranges are in better condition now than ever before at this time of year as a result of one years' dipping. And as to wild animals and ticks, I only have this to say, the au thorities, both federal and state, are fiehtintr what is specifically termed cat tle ticks. Those on coons, skunks and goats seem to differ slightly from cattle ticks. Would you try to disprove tre yellow fever theory by saying that all mosquitoes are aime: xne reraemoer that consistency, thou art, indeed, a HOME PRODUCTS STILL TAKEN BY OFFICERS Capturing two shinny factories and destroying over 200 gallons of beer and taking a small quantity of the fin ished product was the result of efforts of Deputies Black and Baylls, of the sheriffs office yesterday. The still was found in "West Pensacola in the home of John Patton, a negro living alone who la about 65 years of age. The stills were indoor affairs, both of them being worked from a large fireplace and each of them holding be tween 15 and 20 gallons. The negro was taken to the county Jail and charged with having and making rum.

I have seen our ranges dotted with the carcasses of such cattle but this Spring I have looked in vain iqt sucn results. I have asea my neighbors who are all cattle owners where I might find such a carcass and have received nothing but a negative reply. The question then would naturally arise in the reader's mind, whv are the cattle owners opposed to it? The cattle o-iers who are opposed to the diooing law are comparatively few and for various reasons, skepticism being the greatest stumbling block. Just as some people refuse to accept the hook worm theory and others refuse to admit that the world is round, so, also, some prefer ticks to cattle. Tours respectfully, EDWARD ROBERTS.
