The law requires that all butter offered for

these by hand is too slow; get them printed

Farm hours wore long and hard,
not only for the fanners them
selves and their wives, but also
for the children who were old
enough to perform tho simplest
kinds of labor. The schools
wore small, ungraded, and poor,
ill-adapted to tho uocds of tho
people. Even the rural churches,
whoro there were any, wore un
Insplrntionnl, and offered Utile
relief from tho monotony of
country life. In a word, tho llfo
of the farmer was characterized
by constant, extreme physical
drudgery, and by Isolation and
monotony.
"Is It any wonder, then, thnt
tho farmers themselves did not
desire that tholr Children should
follow In tho footsteps of tholr
paronts, but rather that thoy
should engage In any kind of
activity that might take them
away frojn the farm, with Its
narrow, uninviting, unprogres
slve prospects; that their ambi
tion was to have their sons and
daughter follow vocations In
which thero would bo a broader
outlook, fairer prospects, great
er happiness? Tho fact is that
the greater opportunities for ad
vancement found in city life,
whether In tho professions, In
business, In the trades, or even
in common labor, were the mag
netic forces which Irresistibility
drew tho farm youth cityward.
"Of course, the 'statements
Jrst made are not applicable
alike to all parts of tho country,
or to all people engaged In agri
cultural pursuits in any part of
the country, but unquestionably
such conditions did prevail gen

reason for the tendency to leave

In tho National Forest Man

"all uses of National Forest
lands" anil resources permitted
by the Secretary of Agriculture,
except thoBo specifically provid
ed for In regulations covering
water powor, timber sales, tim

timber ;uid grazing." Those
special uses aro many and var
ied. A glance at the list shows
such uses as boat-landings, resi
dences, log chutes, railroads,
dams, telephones, wagon roads,
dairies, camp sites, tlumcs, dit
ches, stores, schools, churches,
hotels, corrals, cabins, and tho
like. In the forests of Washing

unusual In nature, a water
trolley on the Chelan Forest, an
apiary on the Olympic, a IIbIi
hatchery on the Colvlllo, an aer

are still dlfferont.-a slaughter

other structures needed for rec

i the area used not to exceed f
acres. Prior to tho passago of
this act, permits of this nature
wore Issued but were revocable
at tho discretion of the depart

long term permit or leaso more
completely protects the Inter
