ON THE USES OF FORESTS ONLY TWENTY YEARS OF VIRGIN GROWTH IN SIGHT Country Uses as Much Wood In One Year as Grows in Three—Problem of Averting Future Famine of Staple Article—Increase of Forests. "In the last ten years," says the Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture for 1907, "forestry has advanced in this country from an almost unknown science to a useful growing profession. In that time the number of technically trained foresters has increased from less than a dozen to over 400. Ten years ago there was not a single forest school in the country; now there are several professional forest schools which rank with those of Europe, and a score more with courses in elementary forestry whose usefulness is steadily growing. Forest lands under management have grown from one or two tracts to many, aggregating 7,503,000 acres, scattered through 39 states. The national forests have increased from 39,000,000 acres, practically unused and unprotected, to 165,000,000 acres, used, guarded and improved both in productiveness and accessibility. The number of states which have state forests has increased from 1 to 10; and of those which employ trained foresters from none to 11. The membership of forest associations has increased from 3600 to 15,800. Ten years ago, except for a few of the foremost botanists, European foresters knew more about American forests than did the people of this country. In Europe they were then using preservatives to prolong the service of beech ties, this tree that the Santa Ana is planting 8650 acres near go to test its suitability for duction of ties. "Prominent among the parled forward by the state of California was the publication of a comprehensive bulletin on commercial production of eucalyptus servative treatments of oak and fir ties and poles, cooperation with the forest at Los Angeles, showed a-foot pole, at $7.50, can be with creosote at a cost of to secure additional services several times the additional state fire patrol was strengthened.

"The progress of forest Washington for the past specially marked by incrity on the part of the owners of timberlands to timber from fire; the of forest instruction at ed from 1 to 10; and of those which employ trained foresters from none to 11. The membership of forest associations has increased from 3600 to 15,800. Ten years ago, except for a few of the foremost botanists, European foresters knew more about American forests than did the people of this country. In Europe they were then using preservatives to prolong the service of beech ties, and so adding from twenty to forty years to their life. Here, on the other hand, scarcely a treated tie had been laid, though there are now 60 treating plants, 27 of which treat ties exclusively, and an engineer who recently returned from Europe reports that both in size and mechanical perfection the treating equipment of this country is ahead of any to be found abroad. "And yet American forestry has only safely passed the experimental stage and got ready to do something. Action, immediate and vigorous, must be taken if the inevitable famine of wood supplies is to be lessened. We are now using as much wood in a single year as grows in three, with only twenty years' supply in sight. Only the application of forest knowledge with wisdom, method, and energy in the next ten years can prevent the starving of national industries for lack of wood. "California tanbark oak, hitherto considered of principal value for the tannin in its bark, has been found through timber tests to be suitable for cooperage and wagon manufacture. In strength it compares well with eastern oaks and hickory. Eucalyptus planting has been given much attention in California. The interior of one of the largest buildings in Los Angeles was finished in eucalyptus imported from Australia at $250 a thousand board feet. This tree grows very rapidly, and is especially adapted to that region. Four companies have been formed which will plant in the aggregate several thousand acres with eucalyptus. It is with BLOOD BLOOD We live by our blood, and on it. We thrive or starve, as our blood is rich or poor. There is nothing else to live on or by. When strength is full and spirits high we are being refreshed—bone, muscle and brain, in body and mind—with continual flow of rich blood. This is health. When weak, in low spirits, no cheer, no spring, when rest is not rest and sleep is not sleep, we are starved; our blood is poor; there is little nutriment in it. Back of the blood is food, to keep the blood rich. When it fails, take SCOTT'S EMULSION It sets the whole body going again—man, woman and child.

SCOTT & BOWNE, 400 Pond St., New York due that the Santa Fe railway passing 8650 acres near San Diego has its suitability for the production of ties. Inventment among the projects carried by the state forester California was the publication of a comprehensive bulletin on the commercial production of eucalyptus. Precise treatments of cedar, pine, oak, lime and poles, conducted in conjunction with the forest service in Angeles, showed that a 40-horse, at $7.50, can be preserved neosote at a cost of $2 so as to provide additional service worth times the additional cost. The fire patrol was materially opened. A rail, early to take up forestry, is systematic, practical work two main heads—the maintenance protection forests on importersheds, and the planting of land barren areas with useful Lectures are given by the student of forestry before the days of the college of agriculture. An examination was made during 197 of the forest back of Hilo, which it was found neces­preserve as a protection to a seed. It has been demonstrat­r rubber grows well in Hawaii; large area will be planted rubber trees, which afford a forest protection to the land.

Progress of forest work inington for the past year is es­marked by increased activ­ity the part of the state and of timberlands to protect the from fire; the inauguration last instruction at the univer­success. No longer hustled from one place to another in competition for insufficient feed, stock is now brought through to the end of the summer in better flesh and with fewer losses than formerly. During 1907 improvements of the range by pro­tection was supplemented by experimental investigations to determine how the amount of forage can be increased; how plants of little value can be replaced by others more use­ful; how poisonous plants can be got rid of or their effect upon stock counteracted by treatment; and to plan a system of handling stock that will result in the most economic utilization of the forage crop. "Experiments in seeding portions of the range with cultivated grasses were begun, and careful detailed study was made of typical range areas to learn under what conditions the best native grasses propagate successfully. An experimental pasture was constructed where the action of sheep under various systems of handling could be investigated, and the effect of each system upon the forage crop ascertained." The article, from which the above are excerpts, gives a brief summary of recent achievement in forestry in the United States, a list of laws passed in 1907, and a directory of state forest laws, forest associations, and forest schools.
