Tlio following extracts from tlio ro

for tlio "8cn' 'ear -ndlng June 30,
1010, indlcnto tlio department!! pol
u with regard to lands In the na
tional forests which are clilelly val
tinblu for farinlng and thereforo es
f peoially interesting in this section
Alien) bo much land Is comprised
viihln the foreBt reserves:
It Is the department's policy to
wnko avallalilo for settlement nil
inniiM which are clilelly valunlilo for
AN S IS
m furiiiliig. In order to opon Bitch nronB
u careful ciassinqaiion is ueing hihuu.
J.argo trncts found to ha valuable for
, griculturu or unsulted for perma
nent forest purposes are eliminated.
During the last llvo years about 11,-
000,000 acres have been released,
in addition, individual tracts nro clas
sified and opened to entry upon ap
plication, of homo seekers. Slnco
tho work was begun more than 1,
jiuO.OOO acres have been mado avail
able for tho benollt of 18,000 set
tlers. "In short, lands within tho forests
really adapted to agriculture aro be
ing occupied as homesteads under
favornblo conditions. While tho
lnnds Bulled to settlement nro clas
sified and opened to entry, Hiobo
which nro not clilelly vnluablo for
iigrlculturo nro retained In public
ownership. Tho alienation of tlmber
lnnds under conditions that will lead
not to settlement but to speculation
and to Increasing tho holdings of pri
l vato timber owners would defeat the
very purposes for which the forcstB
were established.
"Tho real agricultural problem
within and near tho forests Ib to
make possible tho successful occu
pancy nnd development of tho lands
that alroady havo been opened to en
try or actually patented. Tho mero
prlvnto ownership of land docs not
insuro successful ubo of it. In Oro-
...,.i u'nuiiitiL'tmi nlcno there aro
hUll Mil" .. n
jibout 3,000 acres of Iogged-off land,
much of it agricultural in character,
now lying Idle. In this condition
speculative holding of tho land for
higher prices plnys a largo part. An
other cause Is tho lack of transporta
tion facilities. A settlor may clear
land nnd rnlso crops upon It, hut ho
io helpless If heennnot mnrket thorn.
There nro great areas of fertile land
unused today on this account. In
many sections near tho national for
ests pioneer conditions still exist.
Tho population is small and tho task
of rond building Is beyond tho means
' of tho residents. There Is little or
no demand for timber, nnd tho re
ceipts from tho fdrestB which go to
tho community aro small. Tho fact
that tho public property Is not sub
ject to taxation makes such com
munities feol, and very Justly, that
tho forests nro not contributing
enough to local development.
"This situation should ho changed.
Asslstnnco should ho given la the
building of rondo to bring into pro
ductive use tho resources of such re
gions. Thereforo. tho suggestion
contained In tho last annual report
Jb ropoatod. that upon a showing or
public necessity appropriations bo
mndo for opeclllc ronds nnd similar
improvements, to bo charged aga nst
tho StatOB future sharo of receipts
from tho forests. Such action would
promoto tho local development of ag
riculture r.nd other resources.
"To securo tho nyixlmum use or
tho lands still In Inderal ownorshlp
furthor legislation Is needed. Thero
must be a constructive program
which will promote development nnd
safeguard public Interest. Tho aim
should bo to make these properties
more useful, available to greater
numbers, and effectively instrumental
in building up Industries."

EIGHTH GRADE
EXAM CHANGES
NEW PLAN IS TO BE
TRIED
Superintendent Churchill Announces
innovation In Kuuniiiiitloii Mcth-
ods Qtiewtlos to Test Ability to
Express What Is I.eiuiied.
In tho May and Juno eighth grado
examinations n new plan will be tried
in testing the pupils In tho subjects
of U. S History and Civil Govern
ment, according to a statoment Is
sued today by State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, J. A. Churchill.
During tho examination, tho pupil
will bo allowed to refer to his text
book, but the questions will bo so
framed bb to test tho ability of the
pupil In expressing what ho has
learned In clear, concise language.
Tho advantages of such n plan, nro
that It permits the tenchor to empha
size the historical oventa which sho
considers most important; It gives
the trained tenchor greater freedom
so that sho can do a much higher
quality of work than simply helping
the pupils to "cram" for an exam
ination; it frees the teacher r.nd tlio
liunlls from so teaching and studying
ns to make the examination the end;
It tends to give tho pupils power oi
expression and eliminates tho .mem
orizing of unimportant dates and
facts.
"Thero is alwr.ys danger," said
huperlntandoiit Churchill, "of tho ex
amination system developing a ques
tion nnd answer method of teaching.
Any plan whereby tho examination
becomes tho end Is unpodngoglcal,
and tho examination usually deter
iorates fnto a memory test. With
this new rlnn If tho toacher will
adopt It for tUo pupils monthly tests
thoy will learn by tlio close of tho
year how to ubo tho text merely r.s
roforenca work In writing their flnnl
papers. The questions will bo so
worded that It will bo Impossible for
tbn iniiill to cony any nmount from
tho text book, but ho will find help
by turning to It to refresh his moni
ry n some point that has escaped him
Just for tho moment. ,
"When writing an examination n
mini! often finds that ho ennnot ro-
call the answer to n question. He is
thnii liable to becomo so nervous nnd
frightened that ho will fall In tho
entire examination. This Is really
the common sense wny to prepare n
pupil for his work In tho every day
world, for if a man has to write an
article or propnro a paper on any
subject, ho does not attempt to de
pend upon his momory for the proof
which ha wishes to uso from various
sources to substantiate his state
ments; rnther, ho has on his tnble a
number of roforonco works dealing

is necessary to mix the different-green coffees nnd let
them "age" for a year or more.' Tho small roaster
cannot afford to "tie up" his money in this way-he
must mix his blend nnd ronst it immediately.
-The green coffees for ROYAL CLUB are bought a

a perfect, smooth, satisfying nnd distinctive flavor.
This and the high qualities we use accounts for
ROYAL CLUB superiority nnd popularity. As one
man expressed It, "you haven't tasted real coffee until
you've tried ROYAL CLUB."
