J. Pool, professor of botany in a short radio talk entitled, "Forestry In Ne braska." . Dr. Pool's talk was de livered from the University broad casting station Monday evening- on the regular agriculture program. Dr. Pool divided the history of for- estrv in Nebraska into two divisions: the first being the Pioneers Period, dating back to the coming of the first humans in to this part of the coun try. These people were the red men who used the trees to make their shelter and to help them to obtain the necessities of life. The second divi sion was the twentieth century period dating from 1900 to the present day. "In 1850 the first white men en - tered this state on their way west in quest of gold. At this time only three percent of the land was covered by trees while the other ninty-seven percent was barren. The elements soon showed those who stayed here that there was a great need of trees for protection and this brought about the first cause for the care of the forests," stated the speaker. In 1827. J. Sterling Morton, a Ne braska man, received the cooperation of the government in his ideas for the preserving of our forests. In this year the Timber Culture Act was passed allowing a homesteader to ob tain 160 acres of land if he would plant one-tenth of that land in trees. Under this act over 250,000 acres of land was eiven to people to cultivate. This made a total of about 500,000 acres of timber land in Nebraska up to 1900. Since this time there has been very little tree planting and now the necessity is again impressing itself upon the people of the state. In explaining the second period of forestry Dr. Pool pointed out that the govertw"t again came to the aid of the forests when in 1902 the Ne braska National Forest Act was passed. This act provided for three forest reserves to be set aside for the growing of trees. The Niobrnra section to contain 123,000 acres, the North Platte section 347,000 acres, and the Dismal River section to con tain 85,000 acres. This makes a total of 500,000 acres of forest reserve in Nebraska. 'The purpose of these reserves is to plant trees in the sand hills of Ne braska and the plan has proved very successful as the first trees planted in 1903 now average 30 feet in height and 6 inches in diameter," stated Dr. PooL - In the fall of 1903 a school of for estry was established in the Univer sity of Nebraska under the leader ship of Prof. F. G, Miller, a graduate of Yale, but after several attemtps to maintain the school it was dropped in 1915 in order to make more room in the university for other courses. At the present time the only course in forestry offered in the university IOS30C o D . Davis Coffee Shop o 108 N. 13 Doubled Decked Sand- wiches. Home made pastry.

Now that the need for at nt!nn in nnr formats is aein grow- in tr Dr. Pool believes that a revival of the old interest in the welfare of the trees will lead to renewed activity in forest cultivation. In conclusion Dr. Pool gave summary of the benefits ol tree planting in a brief but well directed poem: "What does he who plants a tree? Ha plants cool shade and tender rain And seed and buds of days to be, And years that fade and blush again; He plants the glory of the plain; He Dlants the forest's heritage: The harvest of a coming age; The joy that unborn eyes shall see Mere things he plants who plants a tree!" r Lr,, - ,. nrnn nrCPAT QTft UPQ Vhhl A QlVO DSifMl Olu JJIO Delta Sigma Delta Win Over Sigma Phi Epsilon in Second Ba.eball Tilt The interfraternity baseball race got under way yesterday whenjthe Delta Sigs took the Sig Eps to a 9 to 7 beating.

Locke Ready For Eastern Competition Nebraska letter-men are making plans to give Roland Locke a big send-off at the Burlington station when he leaves at 4:40 Wednesday afternoon to compete in the annual Penn Relays at Philadelphia. Locke will run under the "N" Club colors, the first Cornhusker ever to run under the clubjs name. Locke slid through the 220 twice Monday without extending himself, clipping the distance once in 21.5 and the second time in 21.4 seconds. He coasted in the last several yards in both cases. The North Platte flash was a little slow in getting out of his tracks Monday althugh he was handicapped by the poor condition of the track at the 220 start. The "Gipper" could " easily have run the furlong in 21 seconds last night if it had been necessary. Bar ring any unfortunate accidents, he should be ready to show Eastern fans some pretty sprint work Saturday at the Penn Relays. Good Competition Expected Scheduled to run against him are Permanent Waves THAT WILL GIVE YOU THE COMFORT OF NATUR AL CURLY HAIR. Gif fin Beaute Salon B3Z73 1340 M " One gallon, Dad, ami lift anchor.

Scholz was the only American to win a first place in the sprints in the 1924 Olympics for the United Stt. This will give Locke a chance to show eastern fans and sports writers who were skeptical of his marks last season that he really turned in new record marks. Locke hasn't run in competition but once this year, when he met Barber at California. How ever, he is in shape to show any of the sprinters of the country a race now and if he is "right" Saturday should be able to outdistance both Russell and Scholz in the 100 and 220 yard dashes.
