TIME FOR REFORESTATION. ot a long time béfdre the wat Wwas tiought of attention had been persis- tently called to the need of making plans for overcoming the inroads which were being made into the for- csts of this country and the gradual eduction of the available supply of wood. The need of eliminating waste " the use of our timber sunplids and the insuguration of a definits plan of reforestation was urged with the ba- lief that more or lest attentlon shéuld bé given to it. With the opening of the war, how- ever, the demand upson our timber cupply was greatly increaged. It was # case where the requiremernts had to be met regariless of the extra tax which it placed upon our forests. There was a scouring 6f thé countty for slack walnnt. All sectfns felt the sall for oak for the construction of wooden ships while the spruce and nine areas have been drawn up for arge amounts. But in addition to afl his which was taken for {he purpose of peffecting the war machine the woodsmen have been busy in swinging the ax for the purpese of providing wood in order to relieve the fuel sit« uation. Jugt what this heavy drain hae amounted to it Is impossible to tell at this time, but it is certain that our forests have suffered much meore than they would have undef the ordinary demands. We were indeed fortunate to have the material at hand, but that only emphasizes the fact that in- creased attention should now be turn- ed to the making of plans at once for the replacing of this timber supply as rarly as possible. Forests do not groW in a minute. It takes time for trees to mature and certainly with the developments which are to come In future vears it is incumbent upon the present generation fo make dite provisions. Reforestation should be begun on a scale sufficiently large to meet the situation, NEEDS TO BE DISCOURAGED. Time and again has it been demon- strated that uhless those for whom the laws are made are forced to re- spect them they become a dead issue. There are those who make no hones rbout law observance; they are pre- pared to respect all provisions bes rause they are not disposed to do oth- erwise. But there is another class which does not intend to pay any at- lention to laws unless they ate tade to. They take delight in boasting sbout the many instances whers they Intentionally disregarded them, about the narrow escapés which they had wnd even séemed to be disturbed bes tause their acts were not even more lagrant.

Tt will probably cause no surprise whei he ebts forth as the result of a sys+ tematic investigotion which hie been uhderWay for quite a time, that there are 200000000 or more acres about the country which can be converted fito farms by irrigation, drainage or clearing and that he can through sur- veys sét forth the conditions and char- actertsties which goverh them all. Reclamation work has been unde: way in this' department for a period ¢f 16 years. Tn addition many of the 4fates have been engaged in it and by a combination of the efforis there cer- lainly "aré great possibilities open.

Most of us can recall with pleasure their abundance in Nortvich maples-and in pines and ap- ple trees in the city suburbs. For al- most a dozen winters pines have not | come so far sonth, bt their place here has Dbeen asseptably dilled by their oddly dressed cousins frb:.mkthe iw:thA west, the evening grosbeaks. Not. in as many focks as their predeeesiors, but common enough for two ot three seasons for all bird lovers to have a | long look at them and a chance to study the habits of both sexes while touring. And row, after a long absence; #ne grosbeaks have come to us again. From our point of observation, and from reparts, we could trace the in- vasion of the evenings down the Con- necticut river throuigh several towns, ahd the largest company we followed through Southbridge to The Maples, where they rested before starting along the ‘Quinebaug valley and ! spreading through Windham county j towns down into New London county. The route of the pines so far this yeat is not so clear. They first dppeared at The Maples on Thanksgivihg eve, where the evenings were always first noticed in this neighborhood. r wete twelve the first day, eleven ‘the i second day, and about a dosen every day till Sunday, Dec. 8th, when there were twenty, with three in full plum- age: alto on the 8th, two miles below on a dooryprd maple, were four malee. The group would go away in sections from six to i{welve hours daily, but would return from their foraging trip fo their chosen maple trees. They would pick at maple buds like their congeners, take a try at sunflower seeds, but their favorité food was rotten or frozen apples still hanging in the orchards and on roadside trees, which they would tear in pieces with their short strong bills and greedily eat the seeds. A pleasant break in old winter’s first bitter bite is the presence of these at- tractive birds, and their advent pre- dicted the early deep snow. Not as musical as the shrikes which preceded them, but with their cheerful chirp they seem perfectly at home in their new surroundings.

Carol Corey, in a communication to the Natinal Geegraphic society, gives remarkable pictures of the spirit of the wounded soldiers in American Military hospital No., 1 at Neuilly, a suburd of Paris. A part of the communica- tion, which ciironicles a visit to the two wards maintained in this hospital by the members of the -society, is given issued as a bulletin of the war- geography series which the soclety has been issuing to the American press from its Washington headquarters for four years: “‘Got any chocolate?” begs oné wounded soldier who is able to sit up in bed.
