FOREST NOTES.
The National Forests of Oregon
and Washington are being protected,
not only from fire, but from the rava
ges of insects. Occasionally bark
geetles become so destructive on cer
tain areas that the infested timber
must be promptly cut and burned to
prevent further damage to valuable
timber.
The work of classifying and opening
to homestead entry such lands in the
National Forests as are chiefly value.
ble for agriculture is progressing rap
idly. Already over seventy million
acres have been covered by field ex
aminations and the final reports acted
upon.
Investigations by the Forest Pro
ducts Laboratory, at Madison Wis
consin, have resulted in the use ot
spent tanbark in the manufacture of
asphalt shingles to the extent of 160
tons per week. The value ot the
bark has been thereby increased from
60 cents to $2.50 per ton.
There were cut from the National
Forests in the fiscal year 1916, 60
920,000 board feet of timber. Of
this amount, 119,483,000 board feet
was cut under free use privilege by
42,056 Individuals. In all, 10,846
sales of timber were made, of which
97 per cent were under $100 in value,
indicating the extent to which the
homesteader, rancher, miner, small
millman, and others in need ot a li
mited quantity of timber draw upon
the Forests.

Tobacco and Athletics.
Georee Duff, director of athletics at
the University of Illinois, who is tin
reatest coach of amateur ball players
In the United States, recently said:
"There is not the slightest douht
that the use of tobacco in any torn
by growing boys, Interferes seriously
with their proper physical develop-
mpnt whtln an excessive use has a
very deleterious effect upon the ner-
vmiR Kvstem and brain. So far as i
know, every prominent athletic train
er and coach In the Unitea states an-
olutelv prohibits smoking by the men
who are candidates for athletic
fonma" Surelv the exDerieces of
these men are worth something.
