The uie of the National Forests
for public recreation has grown so
fast and hai become such a big fac
tor In their management, especially
in Are control, that a question has
arisen an to both the desirability and
the authority of the Forest Ser
vice to permit and encourage such
use. On this question Associate For
ester E. A. Sherman, who is now in
the Northwest, says:
"Before the National Forests were
thought of, the people of the sur
rounding country used these areas,
so far as conditions permitted, for
recreation; after the establishment
of the Forests they simply continued
this una and expanded it with the
growth of population and the in
creased accessibility of the areas. The
Forest Service did not -create the
idea of recreational use of the Na
tional Forests; rather the public
came in of its own accord, each year
in increasing numbers, and the For
est Service recognizing that recrea
tion was a resource, like timber and
water, used its best efforts to see that
it was . so handled as to make the
greatest returns to the national wel
fare consistent with the chief pur
poses for which the Forests were es
tablished. "The National Forests embrace
parts of every mountain system and
almost every foreBt region in the
United States; they form the natural
outlets of large populations, to which
they are the logical, near-by, econ
omically enjoyed fields for outdoor
sports and recreation. To millions
of people the National Forests are
the natural and sometimes the only
available playground, other than their
city parks. It is most vital to them
that these areas should remain open
for recreational purposes; but in
this day of motors and good roads,
even the citizens of regions remote
from the National Forests have a
direct personal interest in recreation
grounds where they can feel free to
camp and enjoy themselves in their
own wny, o long as they obey the
rules of good citizenship and good
sportsmanship while in the woods.
"Recreational use is not inconsist
ent with forest management, but to
the contrary fs a common by-product
of uch management. In the public
and private forestB of other coun
tries, with long-established systems
of forest management, public use
for recreation is thoroughly recog
nized as an important form of land
service. In this country, where the
inclusion within forest units of small
areas clearly most valuable for re
creation is unavoidable, and where
economic and industrial needs ulti
mately will require co-ordinated use
of every available resource, the cor
relation of recreation with forest
management is even more desirable
and necessary than elsewhere. In
view of this, the logical, the inevit
able conclusion is that one of the
proper functions of the National For
ests is to afford the people of the
United States opportunity for out
door recreation; that one of the prop
er functions of the Forest Service is
to administer the recreational use of
the National Forests in proper co-ordination
with other forms of use;
that the expenditure of Department
of Agriculture appropriations in the
development of recreational facilities
on the National Forests, to the full
est extent authorized by Congress
and compatible with other public
needi, Is a proper use of such appro
priations." LOST, Strayed or Stolen, from my

Turning Left
Turning Right
TRAFFIC experts in all parts of the
United States are virtually agreed
that a "National Code of driving
signals must be adopted and schooled
into drivers of automobiles.
The reason for this fs that the salt
of automobiles each year it far out
stripping the development of new
roads; the congestion is becoming
worse and worse; and the increase in
the number of accidents is growing
at an alarming rate. This too, de
spite the fact that the automobile is
becoming so common that virtually
every driver is a good driver.
In some cities and some states
speed limits have been raised in the
effort to "get traffic out of the way."
This seems to be practical and would
bo more so were all drivers operat
ing their cars under a national code
of signals so that all drivers would
know at all times just what other
drivers were going to do.
There is now a movement on to
this end. Collier'B, The National
Weekly, has taken the lead in the
movement and In its iBsue of August
1, presents and recommends four sim
ple signals which if adopted na
tionallyand used by drivers every
where would insure comparative safe
ty and permit drivers to operate their
cars with a feeling of confidence.
The editor of Collier's has gone to

no less person than Tommy Milton,
the world's fastest automobile driv
er, for facts about handling a car
and suggestions for the simplest and
beat signals for general driving.
"Carelessness kills, not speed'
says Milton, who is in full accord
with the idea that a national code
should be adopted.
"Of course there is ft limit to
speed," continues Milton, and this
applies to racing as well. At 100 to

even if he doea have a blowout. At
130 to 135 miles an hour he't almost

"In general driving it isn't speed
so much at recklessness that kills.
When America, the first nation "that
took to wheels learns the "inside"
of driving we will ail know ai an
axiom, that it ia not necessarily the
fast driver, but the selfish, reckless
or ignorant driver that kills."
Then Milton suggested and dem
onstrated four simple driving signals
as illustrated here.
"Signal in plenty of time," says
Milton. "Don't flop out a lazy hand
at the last moment. Remember you
are trying to tell someone behind that
there is danger ahead. Your signal
is just as important to life-saving at
a railroad semaphore signal. On your
lazy-minded days when your brain
your arms and hands feel floppy
and flabby DONT DRIVE. The time
will come that lazy-minded and floppy-armed
signallers will have their
license and perhaps their cars taken
away from them."

(National Republic)
There certainly has never been a
time when the average American
could look forward with more confi
dence to the future of this country
than the present.
America Is steadily forging ahead.
The country is prosperous and is be
coming increasingly so. The federal
income tax rates have been steadily
reduced during the past four years
and further reductions are in sight.
The government just closed its fiscal
year with an unexpectedly large sur
plus and the national debt it being
steadily whittled down.
The forecast of the Department of
Agriculture indicated that the farm
ers of the United States will be
blessed with bumper crops this year.
Wheat and oats are more than com
ing up to expectations and the corn
crop promises to be one of the big
gest if not the greatest in our his
tory. Prices of farm products prom
ise to be satisfactory and the farmer
seems to be emerging from the valley

hurled by the deflation following the
war.
We are informed by the business
interests that they are looking for
ward to fall business with renewed
confidence. Favorable June statistics
and brisk trade in seasonal goods
have increased this confidence.
The Federal Reserve board in itf
preliminary report states that the
department store sales in June were
4.6 per cent ahead of June, 1924, and
the mail order and chain stores in
creased their business 14.12 per cent
over the year previous. Car loadings
for six months hove been five per
cent greater.
These figures indicate that the bus
iness of the country is on the up
grade, and the promise of good crop
and prosperity in the farming com
munities give promise of even better
timse during the coming autumn.
And America is in good shape men
tally as well as economically. Con
structive ideas of government were
never in greater favor in the United
States than at present. The consti
tution of the United States is appre
ciated as never before, and the forces
of socialism and decadence have, for
the moment at least, been halted.
The difference between America
and Europe is still pronounced and
every patriotic citizen of Yankee
land should take enough time off
every day to render thanks to Prov
idence that he is an American.

tight advantages of copper carbon
ate dust treatment of seed wheat for
smut control are as follows: effec
tive control, low cost, less labor,
good germination, thicker stand, rig
orous plants, no loss from holding
after treatment, one-fourth of seed
saved. Farm and O. A. C. station
tests have proved the success of the
new method.
The size of the litter is its largest
factor in the cost of a pig at wean
ing time. The cost of feed to bring
a litter up to weaning time is about
the same, investigations by the O. A.
C. experiment station show, with
large and small litters. So are labor
cost, investment costs, and most oth
er factors. Pigs from the big litters
are evidently not particularly infer
ior to pigs from small litters. At a
total cost of (31.28 for bringing a
litter to weaning time, taken by the
animal husbandry department in May,
1924, the cost per pig varies with
size of litter as follows: In litter
of 3 pigs weaned, $10.43 each; of 4.
$7.82; of 6, $6.26; of 6, $5.21; of 7
$4.47; of 8, $3.91; of 9, $3.47; and of
10, $3.13. The cost of the weaned
pig is about one-third the total cost
of the pig at 200 pounds, live market
weight.
