The only items which exceed them in value are cotton, wheat, truck crops, tobacco, fruits and nuts, potatoes, corn and hay. Such impor- tant products as barley, flax, rye, sugar, beans and rice are left behind. In 1935 farmers received $65,000,000 for the products of their woodlands. These figures do not include industrial pro- duction from great tracts owned by others than farmers. In southern states forest products ranked from third to seventh in value while in New Hampshire and Vermont they were first. In Missouri they were third and in such highly in- dustrialized states as Ohio and Illinois they were 13th. These figures would be more encouraging if it were true that for every tree cut down a new one were planted but this, unfortunately, is not the fact. The great Middle Western area which once was the finest natural forest of hardwood and other trees known in the records of mankind, is gradually being de- nuded. Many farmers have struggled to save their woodlots but, under the pressure of the times, have been forced to per- mit them to be cut down to keep the wolf away from the door. Vermont and New Hampshire, however, have gone in for forestry management on a sustained yield basis and are making it pay. The idea of reforestation is making many converts in the south. Even in North Dakota, with comparatively few trees, for- estry products can be a more important part of the farming scheme. Few of the trees which can be grown here are fit for commercial lumber but some make excellent fence posts and reduce the cost of farm operations at the same time that they provide windbreaks for farm steads and other benefits. No one expects North Dakota to become prominent in the lumber industry for the problem here is one of afforestation and not reforestation. That more trees would be a benefit, however, goes without saying. And that farmers recognize this fact is indicated by the tremendous demand for seedling trees which has become apparent in recent years. Not Surprising When rust struck North Dakota’s wheat crop last year, blasting all but a few varieties, it was only natural that farmers should seek new strains which would withstand this menace. A few were available and steps were immediately taken to dis- tribute as much of this seed as possible in areas where it might be expected to thrive. In view of this situation, however, it also was natural that the unscrupulous should attempt to prey on this natural interest of farmers by selling them seed of strange varieties at high prices, regardless of whether or not such varieties would benefit the farmer. That this is being done is indicated by a warning, issued by state agricultural authorities against the purchase of Golden Ball or solid stem wheat. Advertisements offering this wheat for sale have appeared here and there but State Seed Commissioner E. M. Gillig and officials at the agricultural college say they are filled with misrepresentations. The advertisements compare the solid stem variety with both durum and hard spring wheat and some farmers have bought it on the assumption that it was one kind and others have assumed it was the other. As a matter of fact it is a durum wheat. Its milling quality is low and Dr. L. R. Waldron, plant breeder at the state agri- cultural college, asserts that in almost any year either Kubanka or Mindum durum will yield more. Our agricultural experts do the farmer a favor by warning him against these efforts to get his money. In wheat as in other things all that glitters is not gold and the story of a fly- by night salesman is not always true. Church Collections Rise Church collections are improving but America still doesn’t hurt itself putting money into the collection box. In 1935 the average church member contributed $13.03, which was about $1 better than he did in 1934. Estimates for 1936 show that the average may go as high as $14 this year. Significant is the fact that the number of large contribu- tions is declining but that the increase in smaller gifts more than compensates for this loss. Encouraging, too, is the gain in church membership, estimated at 4 per cent last year. The figures, however, are not impressive and indicate that many ministers and priests still have trouble in keeping soul and body together. Certainly, with contributions at this low ebb, the ministry offers little attraction from a financial stand- point. : If pants buttons would pass as legal tender it might be dif- ferent. As it is the most consoling message the survey gives to the ministers is that there is hope. King Edward VIII asked how one can reconcile a world that produced the mighty ship, Queen Mary, with slums he had just visited. It’s all in the Behind the Scenes Washington A Billion for U. S. Army and Navy— and No One Knows Why! . . . There's Talk of War With Japan «.. and More Talk of a “Revolu- tion” Right at Home ... Seems That Poor Judgment Has Been Used on Invitations to White House Dinners. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, April 14—(4)—It isn’t considered good form to ask why con- gress is going to appropriate more | than a billion dollars this year for the army and navy. And anyone who sug- gests economy or budget-balancing in that direction is sure to be called un- American and Communistic. The senate army bill appropriates $384,699,619 for military purposes and 077 for the navy. If you're still impolite enough to ask why, the navy can give you a more definite answer than the army, which scems rather vague as to whom it is going to fight. The navy is sure that it’s going to fight the Japanese sooner or later. That idea is shared by some officials in other quarters. Nobody seems to know how either the Japanese or the American navy could cross the Pacific and wage successful combat so far away from home—but the navy, at least, has a goal. The army obviously isn’t expanding for battle with Canada or Mexico. No one seriously contends that a foreign foe can break through the navy and land troops on our shores. And you can’t get any high army official to admit that the army is be- ing built up—from 118,000 to 150,000 men and hundreds of new planes each year—to invade foreign territory. That's what makes it all so myster- ious. * # They Fear ‘Somebody’ Inside the congressional committees on military affairs, when these mat- ters are up, there's only a vague psy- chology of war—with an unknown foe in some unknown territory—and a vague fear of the “reds.” Someone suggests the Japanese are @ long way off and someone else hast- ens to assure him that the Japanese are smart and might pop in on us by way of Alaska. Another representa- tive or senator suggests that “condi- tions are pretty bad now and we're likely to need that army at home.” Committee sessions seem dominated by the belief of certain members .and certain army officers that the nation is menaced by a bolshevik revolution. Copeland of New York, in senate de- bate last year, emphasized possibility of “internal trouble” and General MacArthur, chief of staff who drove out the 1932 bonus army, was always stressing preparation for the necessity of American soldiers subduing Ameri- can citizens, Army manuals give instructions on how to attack mobs and in recent years troops have been concentrated nearer industrial centers. All this mean, of course, that the army is preparing against strikes and serious labor troubles. Perhaps because it has nothing better to do. xe & Stick to Old Theory Instead of building up a small, mo- bile, mechanized force for quick action in any necessary area, the army sticks to the theory of immediately mobiliz- ing the mass man power of the nation in event of hostilities. Mobilization plans call for an army of 4,000,000. The peace-time army is scattered over the country now with the idea that it can serve as a skeleton for a vast force and you'd have a hard time pulling it together. War plans call for an officers’ re- serve corps and gn enlisted men’s re- serve corps. You'll be interested to know that the former has about 120,- ne members and the latter about And rext year you're likely to dis- cover that the army needs a lot more than $384,000,000. ee # No Shock if War Comes | A high state department offi- cial, perhaps more conversant with Far Eastern affairs than any other, tells his friends this as to the imminence of a Russo-Jap- anese war: “I don’t think there will be a war very soon. But if I were to wake up tomorrow morning and find the Japanese had started one, I'd be the least surprised man in the world. ** * Someone Has Blundered as to the identity of future guests. parties.

A few days later Harriet asked, “What's become of Tim Jamie- son, Toby?” and Toby was able to say, naturally enough, “Oh, he’s around. I had a call from him the other night.” Later the same day Toby stopped in at the Model League office. She was talking te Sally when she noticed a girl across the room.
