THE WASHINGTON BICEN
TENNIAJL (Autocaster Service)
TWO. hundred years ago next
month, on February 11, 1732, a
son was born to Augustine Wash
ington, a prosperous planter of
Wakefield, Westmoreland County,
Virginia. This year we are cele
brating the two hundredth anni
versary of the birth of George
Washington, because the calendar
system of the English-speaking
world was changed in 1756, by drop
ping eleven days, we now celebrate
Washington's birthday on February
22nd instead of February 11th.
. But this whole year will be given
over to commemorating the Father
of this country. Everybody who
can possibly afford to do so ought
to make a visit to the city of Wash
ington, and the nearby home of
George Washington, Mt Vernon,
as well as to his birthplace farther
down the Potomac River, at some
time or other during the year. It
is our feeling that no true Ameri
can can really get the spirit of
America without visiting our na
tional capital and seeing the his
toric mementos of the great leader
who made our nation possible.
The very clothes that Washing
ton wore are on exhibition in the
National Museum in Washington.
In the great memorial building on
Shooter's Hill in Alexandria erect
ed by the Masonic Order as a mem
orial to Washington, may be seen
the apron he wore and the gavel
he wielded as Master of Friendship
Lodge. In Alexandria still stands
the school which he built and for
which he left an endowment in his
will, while the very streets of the
city are a memorial, for he was
the young surveyor who laid them
out St John's Church, in which
he was a vestryman, is open to vis
itors who are privileged to sit in
the pew which Washington occu
pied, while back from Mt Vernon
is the little country church at Po
hick which he attended in his ear
lier years. Mt Vernon itself
stands almost as Washington left
it, with much of the furniture
which he used.
Any time of the year is a good
time to visit Washington. The city
named for the great revolutionary
leader grows more beautiful year
by year and easier to get to from
any part of the country. Even if
you can spare no time or money
for any other holiday in 1932 by all
means we hope every one of our
readers will find a way to pay at
least a brief visit to Washington.

Sunday School
n Lesson n n
International 8 an day School Lesson for
January 3.
THE SON OF GOD BECOMES MAST.
John 1:1-18
Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D.
Another five-year cycle of study
begins with this lesson. During
1932 we have three months with
the Life of Christ based on John's
Gospel, six months with Genesis
and the Era of Moses, and a closing
quarter on "Christian Standards of
Life." Especially helpful volumes
for the year are "Peloubet's Select
Notes," Tarbell's "Teacher's Guide,"
and Snowden's "Sunday School
Lessons." Vest pocket compendi
ums are "Gist of the Lesson,"
Wells, and "Points for Emphasis,"
Moore.
You will wish to read the com
plete record as found in the four
gospels. A "Harmony of the Gos
pels" is especially useful throughout
the course. Matthew and Luke
give the details that are related to
the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem.
But John goes still further back in
time when he says "In the begin
ning was the Word." Here Is a di
rect reference to the eternal exis
tence of the Second Person in the
Trinity, the Son-Christ (Messiah).
John is then introduced. This is
the son of Zacharias and Elisabeth.
He is known as John the Baptist
and Is not to be confused with
John the beloved disciple who wrote
the Gospel we are now studying.
In Luke 1 you will find fascinating
details that are related to the birth
of this really Old Testament char
acter, who is styled the Forerunner
of the Messiah.
Sublime activities are attributed
to this Son of God. He had His
major part in creation during the
loner airo. The purpose of His
earthly ministry was to provide a
way of salvation ior suum man;
"But as many as received Him, to
them gave He the right to become
Children of God," John 1:12.

Institutions to the subject of home
building. According to those who
keep track of such things, the
country, as a whole, is five or six
years behind its normal home
building program. Young folks
continue to grow up and get mar
ried and to desire homes of their
own, and in almost every part of
the country there is a shortage of
available modern houses. The big
problem is how to finance home
building, but if the national plans
which are now being developed
work out there is going to be plen
ty of money available for those who
wish to own their own homes but
do not wish to pay an excessive
price for mortgage money.
It is possible today for any one
who has a steady job, or an income
that can be relied upon, to build a
comfortable modern house by pay
ing in more than a quarter of the
total vale of the house and lot and
spreading the rest of the payment
over a term of from ten to fifteen
vears. That is always a safe in
vestment The would-be home
owners who get into trouble are us
ually those who try to build a home
on a smaller personal investment
than 25 percent of the cost And
there never was a better time to
build than now, when all sorts of
building materials are cheaper than
they have been for many years, and
there is ample labor available at
reasonable wages.
Once the program of home build
ing gets under way, it will do more
than anything else to revive busi
ness generally. It will make busi
ness for the manufacturers of
plumbing, lighting and heating sup
plies, of lumber, brick, cement and
all of the items that go into the
construction of a house and, best of
all, it will make business for the
local dealers in these things, be
sides giving work to craftsmen in
the building trades.
Houses have to be furnished, and
to do that makes for more business.
Every house that is built adds to
the wealth of the community and
becomes another stabilizing influ
ence against possible future depres
sions. By all means everybody who can
possibly afford to do so and does
not already own his own home
ought to prepare now to build this
spring.
LET'S SEE BOTH SIDES OF
THIS FARM BOARD BATTUE.
Oregon Farmer.
CHAIRMAN STONE of the fed
eral farm board made two pro
posals in a recent meeting with
which we wish to express hearty
accord :
(1) When asked if he expected to
investigate the farm board he re
plied that the board would wel
come an investigation, "but we feel
that if an investigation is made by
congress of the activities of the
grain and cotton stabilization cor
porations and of the many other
things the board has done, it should
include in the investigation all the
cotton and errain exchanges and
bring out all the facts, both old
and new, in connection with the
way cotton and grain are handled."
(2) When asked if he favored the
so-called debenture plan or the
equalization fee plan as modifica
tions of the marketing act, he said
he was for them when convinced
they would help the farmer, but, "I
think it wise to give the present
law an opportunity under normal
conditions. That has not been
done so far."
Thus Chairman Stone brings for
ward two fundamental proposi
tions. The farm board has nothing
to hide from the public, or should
have nothing to hide On the oth
re hand, we suspect that the old
established grain and cotton trade
would not welcome a sweeping,
light-giving investigation of all the
intricacies of its practices. We do
not delude ourselves into the be
lief that the farm board as a board
or the program it has developed
are perfect. Neither are we will
ing to let toe private grain and
cotton trades cover their own sins
by shouting charges of misconduct
and unsoundness against the farm
marketing act and the farm board.
If there is to be an investigation
of the conduct of the board, let us
also have an investigation of its
critics, remembering that these
critics are the individuals and in
stitutions whose heretofore monop
oly of agricultural trade the farm
board has invaded. . Let us , have
an investigation of the grain and
cotton exchanges. Let us have an
investigation of the Federation of
American Business itself!

A Dangerous Criminal
x-Hwvr u r h in in ii i .i. t- i
mmm inm it the
Generally speaking, the farm
marketing act and the farm board
have been criticized for having
failed to bring into being a perfect
marketing condition for agricul
ture. The act was passed, the
board was created and the friends
of agriculture at large sat bank,
drew a sigh of satisfaction and said
to themselves: "There! The job is
done! Farm relief has been ob
tained!" But the deck had not been clear
ad. The whole world was in an in
creasing economic turmoil. Busi
ness of every kind and everywhere
was out of joint. Europe, Asia, Af
rica, both Americas, Borneo, and
Tatoosh isle were distraught, un
balanced, out of gear radiator
boiling, carburetor out of adjust
ment, water in the gas and the oil
pump not working properly.
And we expected the farm mar
keting act to function with 100 per
cent efficiency under conditions like
that! And we let the enemy damn
it before the general public because
it was not able to bring complete
harmony out of world-wide, chaos!
We submit that the degree of suc
cess which it has attained under
such abnormal circumstances is
nothing short of amazing. We
agree with President Hoover that
the farm marketing act is a "fun
damental beginning" in a great
movement for sound and perman
ent agricultural stability.
We accept the challenge of its
enemies. We go to the mat with
them and fight it out We will not
surrender the advancement made
through a generation of tireless en
deavor on the part of organized
and organizing agriculture. We de
mand of congress that if it must
investigate something it invesitgate
the critic as well as the criticized.
We demand that the farm market
ing act be given a fair chance.

WHAT IS FORESTRY
TOLD BY CHIEF
Extent of Science and Definition
of Terms Given For Benefit
of Muddled Public.
Forestry as an abstract idea has
spread rapidly but forestry as -the
concrete, practical science of han
dling woodlands is far from being
thoroughly understood, states Re
gional Forester C. J. Buck of the
U. S. forest service. It is not sur
prising that such should be the
case, for local conditions in differ
ent forest regions have made it nec
essary to emphasize one certain
phase of forestry, as for instance
fire protection, planting, and in
sect and blister rust control. Hence
forestry has come to "mean many
things to many men.
'Forestry" is a basket-like word
defined as the art or science of
forming and caring for forests. It
includes all phases of forest activ
ity from planting trees to harvest
ing them when grown. "Foresta
tion" denotes the application of
forestry principles to woodlands
and is roughly synonymous with
forestry. "Reforestation," a much
used word, means the replanting of
areas which once, recently, grew
trees. "Afforestation" refers to the
planting of trees on areas which
have no tree growth, such as pas
tures or sand dunes.
The elemental concept behind the
forestry idea is that forests are val
uable and that they should be pro
tected, improved, and increased.
Forests should be protected from
fire, disease, insects; they should be
improved to increase the rate of
growth and quality of product; and
if there are areas suitable for for
ests now lying idle, they should be
reforested. Forest protection, there
fore, is part of forestry; forest cul
tivation, or. silviculture, is part of
forestry; and reforestation and af
forestation are part of forestry.
The proper understanding of these
relationships is essential to a know
ledge of what is meant by "for
estry." Hoover's Assailant
Congressman Louis T. McFadden,
Pennsylvania Republican, whose ac
cusations against the President were
denounced by both parties.
