Now is the time to brighten up that auto or wagon
or to decorate the home. We have still a stock of
auto and vagon paint, enamel and varnish; also flat
wall paint for the interior, as well as a few brushes.
These we will dispose of very cheaply, in fact at
lower prices than they can be purchased at whole
sale. Better get what you want before it is all gone.

FORRESTERS PRE
SENT PLANS FOR
TIMBER SUPPLY
Would Check the Gradual Destruc
tion of All the Forests ol
the United States.
Washington, April 10. Measures
to prevent forest destruction, formu
lated by specialists of the Forest Ser
vice, United States Department of
Agriculture, after three years' study
will, if put into effect by public and
private agencies, call a halt to the
conversion of forests into waste and
idle. land and will assure the Nation
of at least a part of the timber it
will need, said Chief Forester Wil
liam B. Greelev. after hearing the
reports for all forest regions of the
United States at the forest research
conference just held at the Forest
Products Laboratory at Madison,
Wisconsin.
The conference was attended by re
search specialists from all forest re
gions of the United States, who pre
sented the results of their investiga
tions on forest devastation and the
steps needed to protect the remaining
forests and to increase productivity
of forests already cut over.
With heavy cutting, destructive
processes of lodging, the practical
certainty of fire in the debris left on
'ogged-off forest land destroying
seed or seed trees, and the prevalence
of fire in forests of all acres, the for
ist often either disappears or preat
y deteriorates, as the detailed re
sorts for one forest region after an
other graphically portrayed
So far has the nrocess of forert
ieterioration gone, it was brought Ceneral Stone and Secretary
lut in the conference, that no steps Wlbur and other speakers, empha
.hat can now be taken will avert a s ztd that the only practical course
terious shortage of timber during the for stimulating respect for law was
.ext several decades, because of a a ceaseless "awakening of the con
ack of voung growing forests. Meas- "'Cience through movements such as
ires to stop the further conversion eorae from your activities and thru
if forests into waste, unproductive determination that there shall be a

?y the forestrv specialists as the first Attorney General Stone declared
tep toward assuring a future supply
if timber.
The recommended measures which
have been worked out by Forest Ser
vice officials in consultation with
imberland owners, lumbermen and
tate officials will be published as
Toon as they can bo put into final
'irm. so that all interested agencies
may make use of them.
Control of forest fires was shown in
every forest region to be the first
racticable step toward keeping for
st lands productive. From the Doug
as fir region of the Pacific North-
vest to the yellow pine forests of
Florida, fire following logging was
emphasized as the chief enemy
of,
'orest regeneration.

nd most important forest repions.

must be required to abate the logpine'
lebris menace, to organize their
rews for effective fir fighting, and
o keep fire from starting in the
woods. Lumbering as generally prr.c
'iced was shown to creat conditions
f great fire hazard by leaving large
luantities of inflamable debris which
iften ignites and cuses highly de -
tructive fires during the logging op-
rations or aiterwaras.
Equally dangerous to future forest
production in many retrions. the re
search specialists showed, is the re
duction of the forest bv lumberinp to
he point where there is insufficient
eed to reproduce a forest of satis-
3Ctory density or where the inva
ion of brush, weeds or inferior tree
species may prevent the re-establishment
of a forest of commercial value.
To overcome this destruction of seed
and replacement of forest by brush,
various measures were recommended
suitable to varying conditions, rang
;ng from protecting seed in the
"'round litter in the Douplas fir re
gion so that it can sprout after log
Tinp. to leaving seed trees in the
Southern pine region, and leaving
standing alt trees below a given di
ameter in the California and Rockv
Mountain pine repion.
The same methods of preventing
forest destruction are not applicable
!n all regions. aceordinp to Chief
Forester William B. Greeley, who
headed the conference. In general,
in most forest regions forest regen-

shown, are already beginning to erow
timber in order to keep their mills

by fire, a still greater loss results
from improper methods of cutting
forests so their natural reproduction

the young growth to get started.

said, "that people would put a little
more emphasis upon the observant

people make the government. That
is why a gathering of this kind is so
encouraging to me."

committee after they had heard ad
dresses on the subject by the two
Eew members of his cabinet. Attor-
