NEW YORK, April 12 (AP)
- Prediction that man will fly to
tie moon within the next 10
t-ars was made by John Q Stew
art, associate professor of astron
omical physics at Princeton uni
versity, in an address tonight at
the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and
Sciences. .
The first obstacle to he over
come is that of developing a speed
of 25,000 miles an hour, the pro
fessor said, which means produc
tion of fuels more powerful than
coal, gasoline, dynamite or any
other souree of energy available
now.
Such remarkable progress has
been made in the speed of passen
ger carrying vehicles within the
iast century that scientists be-'
lieve a speed of 1,090 miles per
hour will be reached ia 195 and
r.L'.OOt miles an hour will he sur
passed before 1919.
The one theoretically feasible
n, thod of making the Journey to
the moon, Stewart believes, is a
v. hide propelled on the principle
r.f the rocket.

JO BE PROTECTED
Now that the American Nature
association has fixed upon the
wild rose as the national flower
of the United States, it is proper
to suggest, well in advance of
the season of its blooming, that
this flower is a rose only so long
as it is permitted to remain In
the wilderness. Which is to say
that the, wild Tose is a fragile
flower, beautiful in its habitat
hut exceedingly insurable. It
won't stand plucking and survive
for long; a breath and Joggle, and
its petals fall.
The vote that made the wild
rose the national flower if it had
that authority was a victory in
a field that attracted more than a
million votes la all the states,
the American Nature association
announces. Such a tribute was
deserved, for though the other
flowers that rated In the order of
naming violet, goldenrod, Am
erican Beauty rose, daisy, dog
wood and mountain laurel are
all lovely blossoms, the wild rose
Is said to be a flowey of all states.
Moreover, Its beauty may not be
gainsaid.
So let It be the wild rose. But
let the wild rose be., Those whose
obsession it is to celebrate their
traverse of fields afar from 'home
by blucking up the plants of the
countryside let them have
mercy, lest they decimate the
wild rose's adoring prevalence. It
is no flower to endure long trans
port, no plant,to be uprooted for
a. few hours possession.

Marked expansion in the pub

In th protection and development
of the forest resources was noted
id a review of the growth ot the
government's forestry work in
th last quartr century. Just Is
sued 6y the U. S. Forest Service,
Portland, Oregon.
When the forest service took
charge ot the old-time "Forest
Reserves" in 1905, they number-,
ed 60 with an area of approxim
ately 59 million acres. The area la
now 160 million acres, embraced
in .150 national forests.
in zs years of administration
the work of physical derelonment
of the national forests has pro
gressed continuously. In 1905
there were no fire towers or look
out stations. Today, 831 are main-'
tained. A total of 1,186 public
camping grounds have been im
proved in the 25-year period.
Since 1907 the mileage of nation
al forest roads has been extended
from 330 to 16.730. Forest
trails have Increased from 6,644
to 47,175 miles. Mileage ot tele
phone line built for fire protection
had administration purposes In
creased from 539 to 35,926.
Receipts of the "Forest Re
serves" in 1905 amounted to
185600. al for timber sold. Re
ceipts last year totaled 86,299,-
802. Of this more than $4,000,
006 was from the sale of timber,
to be cut under forest service
supervision on a sustained or con
tinuous "crop basis.
The appropriation for the -forest
service for the fiscal year
1905 was 1910.276. Funds avail
able tor forest service work dur
ing the current fiscal year
amounted tb more than $24,000,
00 of which about $11,000,000
is for cooperation with the states
in giving fire protection aid to
private forest lands. About 11,
400,000 representing 25 per cent
of the national forest receipts, is
turned over to the states for
road and school purposes. Road
development and the stabilization
of forest-using industries have
played no small part in the up
building of communities In na
tional forest regions, In the last
25 years, the forest service finds.
Livestock grazed under permit
on the nationa forests increased
frpm 1.400.000 head in 1905 to
7,914,800 In 1929. Special use
permits in force on the national
forests registered a gain In 25
years of more than 1,100 per cent
from S0 in 1905 to 33.310
this year.
There was no record of the
number ot national forest visit
ors In 1105. In the latest year for
which records are available, 23.-
000,060 persons visited the for
ests. The forest service began work
in 1905 with 734 employees. The
number has Increased to 2,710 in
the quarter century. The progress
of decentralization is indicated
by the fact that 268 members of
the service were attached to the
Washington headquarters In 1905
as compared with only 197 today.
This decentralization is In line
with the forest service policy of
administration of the national
forests by field ' off leers on the
ground and In close touch with
local problems.

ALL WOOL AND
This, ladies and gentlemen,
ancestor of the Oorriedale sheep of the Phillips and Wisecarver
ranch. Richard WhUwise was one of the pilgrims who came over
from New Zealand to make Corriedales famous in the United States.
Corriedale Sheep Imported
From New Zealand Owned
By Phillips and Wisecarver
"What kind of sheen are those f
They look different." Such is the
comment of those who aee the
Phillips and Wisecarver terms
where there are so many of these
different'' sheep.
They are different from most
of the sheep seen in the west or
for that matter in the United
States because they are Corrie
dales, Imported from New Zea
land by R. w. Phillips and Ray
H. WUecarver ot McMlanville.
The first stock was imported in
1118 and since that time the Phil
lips and Wisecarver ranches have
constantly increased the stock
and both Mr. Phillips and Mr,
Wisecarver are convinced that
the Corriedale is the most desir
able sheep for present day needs.
The following Quotation is an
exerpt from an artfele by Pro
fessor Walter C. Coffey of the
University of Illinois, a recog
nized authority on sheep.
"In all essential characteristics
the Corriedale is a blend between
the fine-wool and coarse-wool
types from which it came. In mut
ton conformation and disposition
to fatten it is superior to the
Merino, but not equal to the Lin
coln or Leicester. Its wool being
of medium Quality, strong, even
in structure, comparatively light
tn yolk, an three inches or mere
in length, fulfills the require
ments ot the wools bringing the
highest price on the markets. The
fleeces average from ten to twelve
pounds la weight.
"The face, ears and legs of the
Corriedale are white. Both sex
es are hornless, but there is a
tendency for horns to appear In
the rams.
"Corriedale mutton Is better
than that from any of its parent
breeds. It is thicker and tatter
than Merino mutton and free
from the coarseness ana excess
ive fatness characteristic of the
mutton produced by Lincolns and
Leicesters. On the great Smith-
field market, London, Corriedale
lamb carcasses are known as
Canterbury lambs. As a rule, they
show the finish and quality char
acteristic of prime carcasses.
When the original flock ot Cor
riedales was brought from New
Zealand a New Zealand shepard
dog was sent with the sheep.
Phillips and Wisecarver paid
$150 for this dog and had him
sent along to insure the safety of
OWLS HELP RANCHERS
Sixteen species of owls Inhabit

great horned owl. Bubo virgin

Scarcely inferior ia size to the

the sheep. The band arrived in
good condition without a single
lees. As they were being unload
ed from the freight car at the
station only a few miles from the
farm the dog was helping to get
the sheep across the road.
The last straggler was starting
across when aa automobile came
tearing down the road at a reck
less pace. The dog saw the car
and had plenty of time to get out
ot the way but the- last sheep
were not across. The dog worked
valiantly and succeeded In get
ting every one ont of danger,
but the racing car bore down and
when it passed the dog was a
quivering heap in the road.
Both Mr. Phillip and Mr,
Wisecarver worked valliantly to
save the dog. not even stopping
to get the number of the death
car. It wag no use however and
within 15 minutes after its ariir
al this New Zealand shepherd had
given its life tor the sheep.
But the Corriedale sheep, con
tinued to thrive and today Phil
tips and wisecarver are even
more enthusiastic about the breed
than they were when the sheep
were first imported.
The wool always demands a
high price because it Is of medi
um fine grade and very long
staple and the mutton is of the
finest quality.
Idle Land Is
Now Increased
Each year the Increase of Idle,
cut-ever land in the wake of the
lumber industry is becoming
more menacing, says Forests
and Mankind. Until the last
quarter century, lands cut-over
for their timber had been put to
work growing farm crops and no
economic loss followed so long
as ther was greater need for
farm lands than for forest land.
But soon the lumberman began
cutting ia regions where farms
were not profitable where soil
and altitude and elimate all con
spired to make for low farm
values.
It was on these lands that for
estry had to be practiced If they
were to be good for anything, if
they could be lumbered less de
structively and protected from
tire, nature would help restore
them to forest. But year after
year this No Man's Land increased
by millions ef acres'. It constitut
ed a menace to our very prosper
ity. We could not grow farms on
It and we would not grow trees.

' ; Method
By HELEN WIESNER
. north Howell, Aprt 12
using a high explosive pbwder to
blast out a ditch may be an old
story te many but it is a new ex
perience tot many in this locality
so the demonstration which has
been carried on here for the past
few days ic very interesting.
This ditch drains the farms
which belong to Adam Reznecsik,
E. B. Fletcher and E. O. and A.
B. Wiesner. as well as affecting
other nearby farms and the de
monstration is highly successful
and effective as well as much
cheaper than any other method
could bossblly have "been.
Mr. Mathewson ot Delaware,
expert field man for a well known
powder company has been super
vising the work.
Three men can manage the
operation. One of them Uses a
sharpened iron bar about one and
one-quarter inch in diameter and
drives a hole in the earth about
18 inches deep.
The next man places the stick
of dynamite carefully in the hole
and the last man pushes it in as
far as it will go with a wooden
bar. These charges of high ex
plosives were placed about IS
inches apart covering a distance
of from 100 to 150 feet, a cap
placed on one of them and then
fired with an Ignition eharge.
The explosion lifted tons of
earth and mud high in the air
and left a ditch about four feet
wide and three feet deep in the
center ot the swale which affords
excellent drainage for over 100
acres ot adjacent land.

ambs In May is apt to be large
relative to the size of the crop. "
vonauiong in the various early
lambing states are resorted aa
follows:
California Good rains dnrinr
March over nearlv all h
continued the improvement in
feed conditions and bv rfla end rtt
the month feed was excellent in
most sections. However, the early
lambs did not develop as well
during the month as expected. The
early Bet back, due to shortage
of green feed, l ng more serious
than realized a month ago. There
were no i eastern shipments in
March and supplies of new crop
lambs at California markets to
April 1 were relatively small.
Feed conditions during April will
be a considerate factor in deter
mining the distribution of mar
ketings and the number to go
east. If conditions are favorable
the tendency will be to hold
lambs for further gains and fa
hopes that the market will im
prove; If unfavorable and grass
begins to dry up. marketings will
be rushed, and the proportion of
unfinished lambs will be large.
With continued favorable devel
opment the number for eastern
shipment may equal last year;
but with a considerable propor
tion of unfinished lambs eastern
shipments may be reduced. Pres
ent indications are that the bulk
of the eastern shipments will take
place between April 20 and May
20.
Aricona Eastern shipments
started the last of March and
win continue Into May. Market
ings of early Iambs will probably
be abut the same as last year.
