VALUE OF THE FORESTS TO KEEP THE WATER FLOW STEADY It should be clearly understood that in regions of heavy rainfall—for example, on the Pacific slopes in Washington, Oregon, northern California, and Alaska—National forests are not made for the purpose of regulating the water flow for irrigation. In these localities there is plenty of water to spare. The forests here are created and maintained to protect the timber and keep it in the people's hands for their own present and future use and to prevent the water from running off suddenly in destructive floods. In other parts of the west, however, in all the great arid regions of the Rockies and the eastern Pacific slopes, one of the most vital reasons for making and maintaining the national forests is to save every drop of water and to make it do the most effective work. No one has yet proved that forests increase the rainfall to any great extent. What they do, and this no one of experience disputes, is to nurse and conserve the rain and snow after they have fallen. Water runs down a barren, hard surface with a rush, all at once. It runs down a spongy, soft surface much more slowly, little by little. A very large part of the rain and snow of the arid regions falls upon the great mountain ranges. If these were bare of soil and vegetation, the waters would rush down to the valleys below in floods. But the forest cover—the trees, brush, grass, weeds and vegetable litter—acts like a big stock. Before the forests made the settler was at the men's big stockman, who often owed his herds in from a distance completely grazed off the set range right at his own door. He can not happen in a national forest because the man with a home is of the range near by for his use, and the big men from a tance are kept away from him. In alloting the range the local owners are considered then the larger local owners have regularly used it; then owners who live at a distance who have been regular occupants and lastly, if there is any room after these have been provided to the owners of transient stock. Special effort is being made to keep down wild animals which age stock, and the forest office when requested, help to enforce state and territorial livestock laws. A small fee is charged for grazing on the national forests, because any man gets for his own special use any property maintained by the use of the whole people ought to pay for it. Most people are quite willing to pay the cost restoring the range and keeping in good condition, especially with such control does away with the conflicts of all kinds and assists each man of getting his rights. Men who use the range are not kind who think they ought to something for nothing. National forests, then, are made for the special purpose of trolling the live-stock business they are concerned with it incidentally, and help to regulate the use of the range because the people with a rush, all at once. It runs down a spongy, soft surface much more slowly, little by little. A very large part of the rain and snow of the arid regions falls upon the great mountain ranges. If these were bare of soil and vegetation, the waters would rush down to the valleys below in floods. But the forest cover—the trees, brush, grass, weeds and vegetable litter—acts like a big sponge. It soaks up the water, checks it from rushing down all at once, and brings about an even flow during the whole season. In irrigation it is very important to have an even flow throughout the growing season, especially toward the end. That is where the trouble usually comes. As a rule the rancher has more water than he can use at the beginning of the season and not enough at the end. The flood waters in the spring can not be used; they run off and go to waste. In order to save these flood waters the government is now constructing many great reservoirs and canals throughout the west at enormous cost. These reservoirs store up the flood waters and hold them for use when most needed. That is precisely what the forests of the mountains do, although, of course, in a different way. The forest cover is also very important in preventing erosion and the washing down of silt. If the slopes were bare and the soil unprotected, the waters would carry down with them great quantities of soil, gradually filling up the reservoirs and canals and causing immense damage to the great irrigation systems. The government engineers who are building these reservoirs and canals say that their work will be unsuccessful unless the drainage basins at the headwaters of the streams are protected by national forests. The home builder, more than anybody else, is vitally interested in a steady flow of water for irrigation. SAN GABRIEL CHIMES! San Gabriel—San Gabriel Your trees the nesting dove impel And nature yields her incense gay In budding urns of sweet array. The bells e'er chime "San Gabriel" O list the hoary padre tell Of sainted lives unselfish spent Their cross the secret of content. The Indian—"San Gabriel" Hath learned of peace, his lesson wee The gore is quenched, and heathen ri Are lost in glory of true lights. Your walls so old, "San Gabriel" Are hallowed with historic spell So radiant is the sacrament The moon, the cross, make covenant. Most holy tryst—"San Gabriel"— The cross has been our human need Has conquered in the face of hell; The light the cross are one indeed. Night brolders fair San Gabriel In tones that day cannot excel Such traceries of light and shade That smile, then sleep—then softly fade. Now Adios—"San Gabriel" Your walls may crumble—still each b And sacred picture from old Spain Recalls your strength and pride again.

Scale Killing A government fumigation station carrying on scientific investigation fumigation for killing scale and propagating parasites for scale, been established at Orange. This tiener is on Palmyra avenue and therchard that has been turned over to government entomologists is one about 100 trees under the charge o K. Small. This orchard is oppo the nursery of County Horticultu Commissioner E. W. Camfield The government engineers who are building these reservoirs and canals say that their work will be unsuccessful unless the drainage basins at the headwaters of the streams are protected by national forests. The home builder, more than anybody else, is vitally interested in a steady flow of water for irrigation. Often his existence depends upon it. TO KEEP THE RANGE IN GOOD CONDITION The use of the range by live stock enters unavoidably into the management of national forests. All through the western mountains the range goes with the timber; it cannot be separated from it. It is a great resource, and of course ought to be used. The way in which it is used has a great deal to do with the growth of young timber and the flow of water. If it is not wasted or used up, but wisely used, it neither harms the forest growth nor has a bad effect on the water flow. If it is overgrazed or destroyed, the young tree growth is stamped down or eaten off, and the soil is left bare and unprotected, to be washed down the slopes into the canals and reservoirs below. In the use of the range national forests work first to protect the settler and home builder. They make sure, before everything else, that he has what range he needs for his own A government fumigation station carrying on scientific investigation and fumigation for killing scale and propagating parasites for scale, been established at Orange. This tien is on Palmyra avenue and the chard that has been turned over to government entomologists is one about 100 trees under the charge of K. Small. This orchard is oppen the nursery of County Horticultural Commissioner E. W. Camfield. The government station will be under charge of W. S. Woglum, government expert entomologist. Professor Charles R. Marlatt of the department selected Orange as the best place for the work. Similar stations will be established at Riverside, the county in Los Angeles and at Covina, but Orange station has been selected to hatchery as well as for a station for fumigation experiments. The orchard will be under charge of Expert Woglum for a year or more if he desires it. The purpose of his scientific investigations will many. He will endeavor to find whether or not there is too much material being used to fight the seas whether or not the tents are of proper kind. Exact results will be termined. This experimental station will deavor to find the best method propagating "bugs" that will scale. The hatchery will be all one, and the flies that eat red, black and purple scale will be given a chance to see what they can do against seas. This work comes as a result of action by the county horticultural commissioners and the state commission. CIRCUS DAY AT ANAHEW Wednesday, Nov. PERFORMANCES AT 2 AND 8 P.M.
