CEDAR By ELMO SCOTT WATSON jSfepSHE week of April 22 to 28 has been designated as American Forest rvTCn m n pruuiuiuuiiuii uy i resident Coolidge, and all Americans are urged to do their share In a proper observance of this week. It Is noteworthy that among nil the multifarious "weeks," set aside for special observance by this group or that organization which has a special Interest in having their particular week "observed," American Forest week Is the only one to which the federal government has given recognition and support For it Is not a tool for advancing the views or serving the purposes of any special group or organization. It does not Identify Itself with any particular program, but seeks to make better known certain essential facts about the forestry situation in this country and to promote dscussion of this problem from every angle. Being strictly educational In plan and purpose and seeking to serve the best Interests of the whole people. It Is one "week" which every American citizen can "observe" conscientiously and should observe as a part of his civic duty. The Idea of devoting seven days Id the year to public education on forestry matters originated on the Tacinc coast eight years ago. In 1921 President Harding Issued the first proclamation which brought the influence of the government hehind the Idea. When Calvin Coolidge became President he also gave his sanction tf the plan and he has Issued a proclamation for American Forest week every year since that time. Many governors have also Issued similar proclamations so thHt the movement is truly a nationwide one. At first the week was called Forest Protection week, but because of the magnitude of the forest problem. President Coolidge in 1923 enlarged the scope of the educational program and the more Inclusive name of American Forest week was chosen. In recognition of the International scope of the forestry problem the authorities of the United States and Canada In 1020 Jointly agreed that the week should be celebrated concurrently In the two countries. The Canadians call theirs "Save the Forests week," but Its purpose and Its observance Is essentially the same as our American Forest week. The Joint observance of the week was continued last year, end, as President Coolidge points out In this year's proclamation, our Canadian cousins have the dates April 22 to 28 marked In red on their calendars. American Forest week Is an annual call to all citizens, young and old, to take part In bringing nhout better fon-s- t conditions. Its purpose Is to give opportunity for every form of Interest In trees and forests to find expression, each In Its own way, and Its aim Is that the general welfare of the nation In respect to forestry may be promoted by the taking of common counsel, the formation of Intelligent public opinion and the t!mu)atlon of action. Individual and collective, under the Impulse given by observance of the week. General supervision of plans for the week Is tinder the direction of the American Forest wek committee of which Frank O. Lowden, former governor of Illinois, Is general chairman, and this committee is composed of representatives from nearly 1X) organizations, representing every conceivable form of Interest the federal government, state governments, outdoor, wild life and recreational Interests, foresters and forestry associations, the lumber Industry, large consumers of forest products, organized labor, groups Interested In the preservation of water resources, scientific nnd civic organizations, women's orhost of others. Outstanding ganizations and among these In carrying on forestry educational work not only during the seven days of American Forest week, but during the JlCfi days of the year Is the American Tree association, of which the veteran worker for forest preservation. Charles Lothrop Pack, Is president. Although the forestry problem Is so extensive in all Its ramifications and there are so many angles to the question of how best to preserve tills great natural resource and make It Increasingly valuable lo the: nation, the prime necessity, as President Coolidge emphasizes In this year's proclamation, Is the suppression of the Are hazard and the preservation of the forests which we already have even before steps can be taken for planning for the forests that are to be. Prevention of forest fires, especially unnecessary fires, Is the one virtually Important plank In the national forestry platform.

The most common cause of such milk is highly flavored feeds, such as wild onion or garlic. Even the change to new grass pastures will produce a pronounced "grassy flavor" In the milk. The milk consumer will, notice these feed flavors at once especially that caused by the cow's eating wild onions. The dairy Department of the New Jersey State College of Agrlcultura recommends that where these difficulties occur the cows be kept off early pasture, or if that Is impracticable, that they be taken Into the barn for a period of two to four hours before milking. The wild onions in the pasture will disappear as soon as the grass has had a chance to crowd them out. The second group of bad milt flavors Is that caused by bacteria. Here also Is found the causes of bitter milk and ropy milk. These bac- terla usually fall from the cow's body into the milk at milking time. They are very resistant and may withstand-careles- s Often they insterilization. fest the seams and crevices of utensils and cooking vats. The ropy milk organisms are found In marsh land or muddy pools In the pasture. As the cows wade through these places In early spring the bacteria cling to their coats and In that way are carried Into the barns. Thorough washing of all utensils with alkali, followed by thorough sterilization with live steam is important. The stables should be disinfected with strong chemical solutions. Some farmers may be confused in determining whether feeds or bacteria are causing their milk troubles. The following will help In making the distinction : Feed flavors are most pronounced In the freshly drawn milk and tend to disappear with age; bacterinl flavors do not appear In fresh milk, but become noticeable with age. Samples of milk which has been placed in sterlfized bottles and watched 24 to 30 hours will aid one in determining the cause of abnormal milk. .

Forest Week Proclamation several years a special week has been set apart public discussion oi our forests and of what must done to safeguard and restore them. Among the agencies making; for progress in this direction, American Forest Week has proved its usefulness, and 1 am glad to proclaim it again and to announce that Canada is again concurrently observing a similar week. The rehabilitation of our forests demands first of all that the forest fire evil be suppressed. Many of our forested states, with the cooperation of timberland owners, have undertaken organized protection against forest fires; and in recent years, under the Clarke-McNalaw, the federal government has given its support to the movement. This great cooperative enterprise must be extended and strengthened until every forested county in the United States is safeguarded against forest fires. But we are still far from the goal of complete protection. Every year, on the average, 60,000 fires scourge For our woodlands, steadily undermining their vitality. this bad situation, the blame falls equally on us all. Public agencies rarely provide adequate protection against fire, the timberlanu owner is too often indifferent to his property, the forest worker is too often neglectful of the future forest; the average citizen is too often careless with fire in the woods We must all gain such respect for the forest that its destruction through indifference or carelessness shall be unthinkable. We cannot permanently abuse our forests with impunity. The soil is the ultimate source of all our wealth and of life itself. One-fuor- th of our American soil is best suited for forests. Much of this land is already idle. More of it is being made idle by destructive lot ring and fire. Yet we cannot safely permit our forest land to he fallow and useless any more than wo can permit our farms and factories to lie idle. To make our vast empire of forest land fully productive of continuous crops of timber will have momentous consequences in our national li'.m. It will give agriculture the advantage of a new valuable crop. It win afford permanent employment to millions of men in the forest industries. It will provide raw materials for many industries. It will furnish traffic for our railroads. It will maintain foreign and domestic commerce. It will restore our forests as conservers of soil and water, and as givers of heslth and pleasure to our people. We already have made a beginning In forest renewal 1 but the task Is stupendous, and we should permit no satisfaction over what has been done to blind as to the magnitude of what remains to be done. Now, theiefore, I. Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate and set aside as American Forest Week the week beginning April 22 and ending April 28. in this year of 1928, I recommend to the governors of the various ststes that they also designate this week for special observance by all our people; and thst where practicable and not tn conflict with law or custom. Art or Day be observed during the course of the same week. I urge thst during that week all citizens and appropriate organizations including public officials, legislators, business organizations, educators, editors, clergymen, landowners, and others give thoueht to the preservation and wise use of our forests, to the end thst energetic forest policies will be adopted In all communities. CALVIN COOLIDGE. FOR e!J ods In the past, foresters estimate that more timber has fallen before the flames than before the nx. Modern lumbering methods, based upon an Intelligent understanding of future as well as present needs, have replaced the old extravagance, but the fire demon still exacts his drend-fu- l toll and the acreage of forest land each year swept by forest fire Is about twice the area cut over by logging operations. For this situation, for the 80,000 fires which. In the words of the President, "scourge our woodlands, steadily undermining their vitality," the blame rests, as he says, upon every one of us. Insofar as we are Indifferent to our Individual responsibility In Improving conditions wlil.h will lessen the fire hazard. P.ut most of all It rests upon the careless citizen who has the least right to go Into the woods. Rut, Important as prevention of forest fires Is, It Is not the only forestry need which the educational tVogram of American Forest week points out Another highly Important one Is the necessity to replace the forests which have been destroyed by fire or logging operations with new forests and the way to fXi this need Is summed up In the simple watchword of "Plant trees!" Of all the organizations united In promoting American Forest week, few have done more In furthering this constructive work than the American Tree association. As before stated, this association Is on the Job with Its educational work every day In the year.
