PAPER AND [ORESIS The. paper problem of the United States Is primarily a forest problem. The paper industry of the United States is now concentrated largely in the coniferous forest belts of the Great Lakes ,the northern Alleghen ies, New York, and New England. Twelve years ago these forests fur nished all of the raw material for the industry. Year by year, as they have been depleted, the adjacent timber belts of Canada have been drawn up on until now a full third of our paper or paper-making materials comes from the Dominion. The pulp woods left in the Northern and Eastern States can not last, under the present rate of cutting, more than 15 or 18 years. The spruce forests of Canada will continue to furnish pulpwood for t longer period but in their turn are n(, less exhaustible. Meantime our consumption of paper is steadily in creasing and now exceeds 35 pounds per year for every n~an, woman, and child in the country. Paper Shortage World-Wide. The rest of the world is in the same situation. Nearly everywhere the prog ress of civilization has been marked by an increased per capita consump tion of paper; and nearly everywhere paper is short. From far-off Austra lia, from China, from Japan, and from South America are coming demands upon the paper-making resources of the North American continent. Large publishing houses of England are ac quiring pulp factories and forests on this side of the Atlantic. Confronted by a world hungry for paper the Unit ed States will indeed find a foreign source of supply a broken reed upon which to lean. What, then, is the answer? The New England and Middle Atlantic States contain 31 million acres of heavily culled or logged-off lands. The Lawe States contain 33 million acres of logged-off forest. Here are 64 mil lion acres of timber-growing land within a stone's throw of our paper mills, land which could supply these mills several times over with pulp wood if they were but kept at work, growing it. In the application of for-, estry to these enormous areas, much. of which are now practically waste land, lies the only effective solution of the national paper probeln in the fu ture, as well as the problems arising from shortages of other essential forest products. There is no situation that emphasizes more clearly the need for a national forestry policy, enlist HIS its custom tunites in that involb son deposi secure.

Western Resources Should Be Draw, Upon. There will be a gap, of course, be tween the end of the old forest.croj and thebeginning of the new./ To fil that gap and at the same time distri. bute our paper industry in a - muel more logical relation to the resources of the ocuntry as a whole, we musi turn to the paper-making woods oi the West. The Western States con. tain easily 400 million cords of paper making woods, and southern Alaskv contains anotheV 100 million cords, With 5-cent newsprint in our principal paper markets there is no fundamen tal reason why these western re ason why these western resources should not be drawn upon for a nation al supply as WVell as the local require ment of their own States. While the pulp-wood forests of the West offer an immediate opportunity to increase the production of paper on American soil and will contribute lar gely to our future supply, it is unde sirable from every standpoint that the paper industry should eat itself out of existence in the Eastern and North arn States. And tlbere is no reason why a large paper industry in our mastern forest regions should not be permanent, supported by raw material *)roduced wholly within our own bord !rs. All that is required is the in ;elligent use of land for the produc ion of timber when not suited by its iature to more valuable products.

CHICKENS.NEED PLENTY OF GREEN FEED Clemson College, December 20. If the best results are to be obtainei with poultry, they must be fur nished with a plentiful supply o green feed. Where fowls have un limited rang%3 on a farm they wil secure green feed during the sprint and summer, but during the winte: it must be supplied for them, sal the poultry specialists. The question of how to suppli the best feed at the least cost- is ono that each :poultry . keeper must de cide largely for hinself. -It wil probably make but little, differenc< what kind of green feed is suppliec provided it is relished by the fowls Cabbages, turnips, beets, potatoes etc., are suitable for this purpose The larger roots and the cabbageE may be suspended by means of v wire or string or they may be placed on the floor, in which case it Would be well to split the turnips or beetE lengthwise with a large knife.

Where the fowls ire yarded and- not enough green i feed is furnished by the yards, a small patch of clover, alfalfa, or rape may be sown. Any one of these, if frequently mowed, will furnish a great quantity of green feed in a form relishedi by the fowls. Canada field peas may also be sown for this purpose, and when fed in a tender, crisp condi tion are eaten readily. Rye is a good crop for late fall and early spring, for it will germinate and grow in very cold weather. As a general thing, fowls should have once a day all the green feed they will eat.

Information secured by the Bureau of Markets, United States Depart.. ment of Agriculture, indicates that Southern hogs will command prices :as high as those paid for hogs from the corn- belt if they are properly fed and handled. Neatly 6,000 hogs from a single owner in Mississippi have been received at the National Stock Yards, Illinois, within the past few months and all were firm, fin ished porkers, which sold well in line with the best that came from other sections of the country. A representative of the Bureau of Mar kets made some inquiries into the manner in which these hogs were fed. He discovered that the same owner has feeding pens in Iowa as well as in Mississippi, and that young pigs were fed a mixed grain ration in connection with corn and tankage. All the animals showed intensive feeding and weighed 250 p~ounds or over when they arrived at the market. Twvelve carloads of hogs wvere re ceived from a single Tennessee owner at the same stockyards. These ani mals were of a distinctively South.. ern type but they were wvell finished on corn ,andl sold readily at the top of the market, dlespite the fact that they came from the so-called "doubt ful territory."
