WHAT FORESTRY HAS DONE Necessity of Controlling the Public Range—Both Pasturage and Forest Safeguarded All the Swiss forests comprised in the Bund are classified as protection and nonprotection forests. Whether public or private they are all controlled by the government. In protection forests all cuttings must be such as to preserve the protective value of the forest cover intact, and for this reason clean cutting is usually forbidden. In such forests stumpage sales are forbidden, and all wood must be felled and measured under the direction of a forest officer. Otherwise, privately owned protection forests are supervised in the main as those publicly owned. Non-protection are also subject to a number of regulations. When they are in private hands clearings may be made only with consent of the Canton, logged areas must be reforested within three years, and existing forest pastures must be maintained. Where protection forests can be created by planting, this may be ordered, and where forests are converted to farming land or pasture an equal area may be ordered reforested. Where barren ground is required to be forested for protective purposes, the Bund assists by paying from 30 to 50 per cent of the cost. Between 1876 and 1902 16,000 acres were reforested at a cost of $1,000,000. In round numbers, the Bund held in large, compact blocks are naturally forest management. Private is further encouraged by the forest taxation, which relies in which forestry is practiced. United States there are many private forest holdings on estry would unquestionably ticed were it not that exe devised forest taxation effou courages it. The total net revenue from trian State forests is over The net yearly revenue per cents is comparatively low to the facts that only 56 cents is expended upon the forest most of the area is located in Alps and Carpathians, whi traction and logging are cost. The present forest department started in 1872 in response outcry against the policy State lands. That policy was reducing the area of State to 10,000,000 to a little over acres during the first halfteenth century. The adr was reorganized in 1904, and three departments — adr proper, reforestation and tha of torrents and forest protecForestry is successfully p 60 per cent of all the Austrian and on 82 per cent of the ests, and excellent results secured by cooperation be State and private personal management, particularly law of 1883.

Between 1876 and 1902 16,000 acres were reforested at a cost of $1,000,000, in round numbers, the Bund having paid one-half. Grazing has been regulated for centuries. In protection forests it is entirely prohibited; but on all the rest of the forests great success has attended the efforts of the forest service to safeguard both pasturage and the forest by supervision and range improvement. Despite differences in local conditions, the experience of Switzerland in forest grazing is, therefore, strongly in support of the policies which are directing the efforts of our own Forest Service. Indeed, the experience of all Europe shows the necessity of controlling the public range. To sum up, forestry in Switzerland, where every foot of agricultural land is of the greatest value, has made it possible for the people to farm all land fit for crops, and so has assisted the country to support a larger population and one that is more prosperous than would be the case if the valleys were subjected to destructive floods. In a country as small as Switzerland, and one which contains so many high and rugged mountains, this is a service the benefits of which cannot be measured in dollars. It is in Switzerland also, in the Sihlwald, that forestry demonstrates beyond contradiction how great a yield in wood and money it may bring about if applied consistently for a number of years. In Austria, which has been independent of the German Federation only since 1866, forestry has, in the main, followed German lines. Austria-Hungary is one of the largest exporters of wood, and the yearly exportations reach 3,670,006 tons. Germany takes more than half of these exports and the rest is distributed to Italy, Russia, and Switzerland. Austria has 24,000,000 acres of forest, of which only 7 per cent belongs to the State and 58 per cent is private land. Communal and entailed forests make 60 per cent of all the Austrian land and on 82 per cent of the forests, and excellent results secured by cooperation between State and private persons management, particularly in law of 1883. The most fruitful Austrian forestry, the reforestating of the "Karst was a stretch of barrier the hilly country of Istria Dalmatia, Montenegro, and lying territory along the Adriatic Sea. It comprised 000 acres. For centuries it finished the ship timbers and supplies of Venice, but existing together with burning during the evil results of climate natural condition of the left it a waste almost beyond Many laws have been passed to time to stop the forest without real effect till 1866 year the Government, per the forestry association, began help to landowners who would take forest planting. Taxesmitted for periods of years advice was given, and plan as well as money was supplied laws were found necessary and 1887 to meet the obsolete stockmen. At the present 400,000 acres, or two-third Karst, have been brought up in part by planting, at a cost $8 to $10 an acre, in part by and the natural recuperation possible. This work has been carried out direction of the "forest service," which was first o Tyrol in 1856 as a result of Tyrolese Alps in 1851 and (1871-74) extended to the re Empire. This service, whichinct from the State forest action, has also been especially encouraging private forestry at first regarded with host held in high regard on the side the work it has done and is doing. Harmony of interest between State and private owners, whole Austrian forest policy notably secured by the encourage of the wood export trade through provisions as reduced freight absence of export duties, and forest taxation. Most people know that if they have been sick they need Scott's Emulsion to bring back health and strength. But the strongest point about Scott's Emulsion is that you don't have to be sick to get results from it. It keeps up the athlete's strength, puts fat on thin people, makes a fretful baby happy, brings color to a pale girl's cheeks, and prevents coughs, colds and consumption.

These blocks are naturally favorable to management. Private forestry is encouraged by the system of taxation, which relieves forests from forestry is practiced. In the States there are many enormous forest holdings on which would unquestionably be practiced it not that excessive or ill forest taxation effectually dis- it. Total net revenue from the Aust- state forests is over $5,000,000. At yearly revenue per acre of 21 comparatively low, due mainly to facts that only 56 cents per acre added upon the forest and that the area is located in the rugged Carpathians, where adminis- and logging are costly. Present forest department was formed in 1872 in response to a popular attack against the policy of selling lands. That policy resulted in the area of State forests from 400 to a little over 7,000,000 during the first half of the nineteenth century.

For the regulation of the lower rivers $1,350,000 was appropriated at the same time, and of this sum $400,000 has been successfully expended on reforestation. Hungary has 23,000,000 acres of forest, of which the State owns 16 per cent; corporations, 20 per cent; churches, cloisters, and other institutions, 7.5 per cent; and private persons the remain- der. From $10,000,000 to $12,000,000 worth of wood is annually exported. About half of all the Hungarian forests are under working plans, by which the cut is regulated so as to provide for a sustained yield, and the present annual cut of 1,000,000,000 cubic feet is believed to be considerably less than the wood actually produced. The State forests yield $600,000 net annual revenue.

Saturday, February 22, 1908 Considering the fact that Thursday's excursion had to be abandoned on account of the bad weather, the week's sales have been simply remarkable. They foot up to $7409, bringing up the total sales since Sept. 14th to $178,609. The sales are very rapidly approaching the $200,000 mark and surpass all similar records. The demand for small fruit farms, vineyards and poultry ranches has not abated, most of the properties sold last week being in small parcels. The building era has continued with unusual vigor, many new houses being placed under construction the past week. Besides the building activity in the city proper a large number of ranch houses are being planned. The new wells bored are all producing water in satisfactory quantities and a well on the Keystone ranch struck water at 60 feet and will be bored deeper. On a ranch adjoining the company's lands water is within 13 feet of the surface. The twice a week excursions will be continued and it is hoped that there will be no further postponements on account of bad weather.
