Daylight saving is an excellent scheme for townspeople,
; but we question how well it might fit tho convenience of
farmers throughout the valley. Some favor it; some voice
disapproval; others have no choice. If it will be convenient
for valley people, The Observer is for it. If it will not,
there- are not enough benefits to warrant the change. It
should bo decided entirely on that basis.
Baker's community hotel shows a small profit less than
.1 per cent on the first eight months operation. Regardless
1 size, it speaks well of the management. Most community who lives in town
hotels Show losses. Very few pan out on the profit side of
Lhe ledger. Finally the bond holders take over the property
and the coniijnunity boosters charge their investment to
jharity or advertising or any other convenient column.

TREKS AS A CROP
I A Columbia University chemical engineer suggests the
growing of trees on waste lands for the puipose of paper
manufacture would be more profitable than wheat farming.
He particularly recommends the plan to those states having
lundreds of thousands of acres of denuded land unfit for
cultivation.
Trees have never appealed greatly to landowners as a
nop because of their slow growth. This objection has been
ivercomc by the development, by hybridization and selec
tion, of certain new varieties of poplar trees giving many
.hues more wood pulp per acre than is now obtained.
; In addition to increased yield the hybrids arc said to have
he advantages of producing a strong, knotless wood and
if attaining in eight years a height and girth which common
xiplars reach only alter 45 to 50 years. An acre of these
lyDims uirnetl into wood pulp might yield a farmer $600 in 1
Jignc years as compared with $210 yielded in the same time
y an acre of wheat.
Owners of fallow ground will find these facts inlerestiinr
it a time when tho price of paper constantly rises and the
mpply of wood pulp rapidly diminishes. Domestic cultiva
;ors of forests, because of transportation facilities and
roxnmty to markets, would have a distinct advantage over
hose regions from which the United States now imports
nost of its wood pulp and paper.
