CHERRY FARMERS NOW POPULAR, SAYS SENATOR MKINLEY and the sitEveryone wants to do something for the farmer uation is complicated by a divergence of ideas according to Senator Uiiliam B.

"Everyone wants to do something for the farmer, and the situation is complicated because thert are so many divergent ideas It is probable, though, that the committees on agriculture of the two houses of Congress will be able to digest the proposed legislation with a view to immediate relief and economy and present meas ures that will represent the best thought from all of the proposals.

There is nothing the matter with farming, if these professional friends would leave it alone. As a matter of fact, but little of the calamity howling comes from the farmer. It is produced for the purpose of fooling the farmers, and by a class of men who want to make use of the farmer for their own selfish benefit. Let a movement be started to sit. down on the professional friends of the farmer. Such a movement would be something really worth while in behalf of constructive agricultural and farm prosperity. Farming is all right, and so is the farmer. 90-da- so-call- EIG ADDITIONS MADE TO U. S. FORESTS Big additions are being made to the national forests of the United States. During the past fiscal year the National Forest Reservation commission has approved the purchase of nearly 250,000 acres to serve as additions to the national forests. The lands consist of 248 tracts and are scattered over ten different states. The commission has just filed its annual report and it contains much interesting information regarding our national forests. Of the amount approved for purchase 55,867 acres is classec as forested or partly forested land containing an estimated feet of lumber. The remaining acreage consistjof arable land, grass land and abandoned farm land. . v''' Two tracts were approved for purchase ini the White Mountain national forest and these contain nearly 22,000 acres, containing tnuch valuable timber. There are now 462,000 acres in the White Mountain forest reserve, and it is well protected from fire loss.

Heavy spring and summer rains may retard the evil; but absence of packed winter snows that last for weeks or months and protect forests, cannot be made up from rains. Organization into fire districts, with everybody making it his personal business to help; cooperation with fire restrictive orders that will stop the firest from starting, and determined, aggressive sympathy with the fire laws as the Northwests best friend, will do much to make the country safe. The tourist crop is worth almost as much as the. lumber cut; one years fire disaster might cut that yield by many millions of dollars a year, for the next generation. A forest fire is no mans friend; it is the universay enemy. This is the year to outlaw it.
