On Reforestation

Spokane, Wash., Nov. 6.-The problem of reforestation in the northwest, "the last timber region of the country," is a present one, according to I. N. Tate of the Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, with offices in the Old National bank, Spokane, Wash., at a recent meeting of the Spokane Realty Board.

"We could have rvith intensive cultivation," he said, "an annual growth in this region of 27,ffi,ffi,000 feet' B"l *ho *"itt to invest u'heie the crop is planted today and the harvest in 40 or 50 years, and where you can not tell what the fire hazards and the tax collections will be? Who u,ants to do selective cutting of his own timber when his neighbor cuts the forests away clean ?

"It is therefore essentially a problem for federal or state solution, this conservation. But we can have with a little sovernmental supervision and some practical reforestation' i forest yield in perpetuity here in the northwest'"

Mr. Tate said that of 822,000,000 acres of forest land orieinallv in the northwest, about half remains now, and wh-at remains in the nation represents nearly ha'lf of tlte world's stand. And half of the forest lands left in the United States, he said, is in Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho and Montana. Of this, three-fourths- is privately owned, 18 per cent is owned by the states, and 7 percent liy the goveinment. Consumplion, at present, at about six times as fast as natural growth.

SOME OUTSTANDING FEATURES OT IOORES INTERNAL FAN KILN OVTR qrI{ER TYPES OF MECHANICAL CIRCULATING trILNS

l. Reversible circulation insures uniform drying throughout the entire lumber pile. The Internd Fan Kiln is the-onty mechanical circulating kiln having the reversible feature.

2. Much less horsepower is required to operate the fans than any other mechanical kiln. Olly -o-ne- 7rf^horsepnwer motor is required to operate one kiln 11x104 feet.

3. Continuous drviirs is assured even though electric power is shut ofi, becau-se with fans not in operation kiln becomes an efficient natural draft kiln.

4. Uniformity of air movement and short air travcl is secured by distribution of fans the full length.of kiln. They produce i large volume of air at low static -qressure in iine with the-natural circulation inside the kiln. There is no leakage, nor is the air sucked back and forth through a duct system.

5. The Heating System is located inside the kiln noom' therebv rrreventin-s l6ss of heat units by outside exPosuna Heatins'coils are?istributed the full length of kiln, close to metil ducts, which tends to prevent metal ducts from rustins and insures uniform heat distribution'

6. bemonstrated simplicity of design wbich features Moore's Roof Ventilatiori, sidplified metal ducts,- substantial fan system and accessible heating qnits, result in ease and economy of installation and operation.

Down Where The Vest Begins

Down where the belt clasps a little stronger, Dqwn where the pants should be a little longer, ' That's where the Vest begins; Down where you wish you were a little slighter, Where each day the buttons grow a little tighter, That's where the Vest begins.

Down where the pains are in the making, And each heavy meal will soon start it aching, That's where the Vest begins.

Wher'e each added pound is the cause of sighing, When you knorv in your heart that the scales aren't lying, And you just have to guess tvhen your shoes need tying, That's where the Vest begins.
