MANY PATROLMEN ARE IN THE FIELD GOVERNMENT, STATE- AND PRI- VATE INTERESTS TAKING EX- TRA PRECAUTION FOR PRE- VENTION OF FOREST FIRES Portland, June 18.—With about 800 eateolmera already in the field, to be supplemented steadily from now on, and With trail and telephone - lbaliding being pushed rapidly, the forest protective agencies of the Pacific Northwest are, oommencing the fire season of 1913 with more thorough preparation early in June 'than in. any previous year, according to reports received today simultan- eously from all such 'agencies by the Western Forestry Conservation aseociation. Although it has been a wet. spring, without fires in. stand- ing timber so far: these same condi- tions have retarded the cleaning up of Washings 'and airliner fire -traps, and it is also feared that kse law of averages wild result in i sja sum- mer. Fire officials particeilanbreurge the greatest care with slashings'and right of way clearings from now on to prevent fires escaping or lingarbrg to spring up later. Any burning here after until October 1 must be with permit from a 'Ire warden. Private patrol associations have greatly extended -their acreage Wilco last year, particularly in Or& gon where the last legislature passed a compulsory patrol law. New leg - islation in California is expected to have the Barna effect. For -the first time . all the Northwestern states Twill groat telly from the Weeks law under which the federal government contaibetes to State pat,rol. In ...adaho and Waehington the principal tailroada are clearing their rights of 'ways of inflaimable debris and vegita- tion. Considerable comikaint made, however, of county road sup- atgervilsors and contraotans who al - tow roadbuilding debris to accumu- late in deffilance of law. Loggers are reported as more interested in fire prevention than ever beams and are generally tollowIng the auggestion at patrol associadons to post rules around their camps instructing em - esteem In precautions - and in steps to be taken if fire breakii oet. In many eases camp superintendents are be - lug instructed to turn their forces over to fire wardens on demand, with out awaiting orders from propri- etors, since fire prevention is sat ahead of getting out log , s. Features of this year's protectiv work will be great activity by the government and the tilm!ber owner'e patrol -associations in extending tele- phone and lookout systema and' the perfection or much closer cooperatdool between private, stete and federal eysteme under a , reements for divis- ion of patrol ,,erritory and fire -light- ing expenses. It is egtimeted that not less than $1,636,000 will be ex- pended for forest protection, by all three agencies in Montane, Wash- tngton, Idaho and Oregon e distribut- ed approximately as follows. s - State appeopriationa, $100,000; tim- ber owners' associations, f250,000; forest service, $1,250,000; federal lWeeka law - fend, $35,000; Should it prove a bad yea -r, the private ex- pendiutra not being restricted like theothers, may be much greater. dt Was about' $700,000 in 1910. In their reports to the - Western .‘- `oreistry and Oonservation Aseaela- . tion, all these agencies, in urging puts idc 'COoperation with their efforts to protect community resources, lay special .stress on care with camp - roe 'and burning &lashings. It is also asked that ala accumelatione 'unsalable debris constituting dan- gerous fire traps b reported to fire -wardens at once, so that if possible they can be dealt with be tare it becomes too dry. SUMMER FALLOW EXPERIMENIVAT MOCCASIN • Whether the fallow system will be ; slimed)* allowing the land to lie idle an important part of the dry land and grow weeds and a volunteer crop crop rotation after the country is set- it has three definite objects: - tied and developed, when land is worth a hundred and more - dollars per acre, we are not saying, says S • Cooley, Superintendent of Farmers' Institutes. Under the pres- ent conditions and land values It I a better practice to take one crop of thirty or forty bushels, once in two fettle, than tea crops of fifteen or twenty bushels each. Experience at the Moocasia experiment station indicates that it is good farming to take about three successive crops af- ter breaking. After that a summer fallow doubles the, crop. Far better 'results are obtained after the third year from breaking by alternating crop and fallow. The results at Moc- casin coincide with the best farm experience in the Gallatin Valley- snd elsewhere. Good farmers in thele Places sum - mer talk*/ religiously. Summer ilailawing does not mean 1. To conserve and store up mois- ture. 2. To clean up the land and get rid of the weeds. 3. To promote the Dreparation of available plant food far the next crop These objects see best accomplished by double disking the land in the. early spring, then plowing in May or June aftel• weed seeds have germinated. Plowing early helps to prevent the run-off of summer rains and prevents loss of moisture. Harrowing should be done immediate- iy after plowing, and thereafter of- ten enough to Ital the small weeds and maintain a soil mach. By following this method seeds will ger- minate at once when put in the latter part of August. the land will be clean, and a heavy crop may be conlidehtly expected.

THE FIGHT AGAINST THE RUSSIAN THISTLES It would seem sane to say that no weed is more het -maul at the present elms to the agriculture of the North- Western states than Russian thistle says Prof. Thos. Shaw. ; It harms the crop by crowding it in, some instances to such an extent ass to render it not worth harvesting. Its /assent* also adds greatly to the la- bor of harvesting, especially when the growth made ban been strong. It also gives muoh trouble in suanwers (allowed lands and oulalaatee crops by the strong and rapirgrowth the plants make on these lands in the tatter part of the growing season The farmer is in a sense defense - le m against the invasion from this plant. That is one of its worst 'features. Lt is 'almost impossible to fence against the thistle owing to the ease with which it is carried - by the wind. A demonstration farm et Elgin, N.

The time to fight Russian thistle is just when they are starting. If unmolested, in a short time the roots 'will have 84 a start that the har- row, the w er, the 'disc, or any other cultivator will not be able to dislodge them. The editors and others who are 'advising fansuens to encourage the growth of Russian thistles to provide food for live stock, are making a serious mistake. MANY LAND FRAUDS. Helena, June 17.—Cotionissioner of Agriculture Kennedy announced today! that reports have reached his office *o the effect that land locators are Inducing homeseekens to locate on lands owned by the Not -there Pa - (sine railroad in Dawson county, set- ting up the claim that such lands are about to 'revert to the govern - inquiry -ment. The commissioner says that 'upon inquiry he found that no con- testf any kind is pending against the lands.. He says that gross fraud is bang perpetrated and he • proposes todo what he can to break up the practice. Sir Thomas Lipton plans to have a (model tea garden and packing leant at the San Diego Exposition. He agrees to move the packed tea as 'fast as it is wrapped and to bring tea pleats from Ceylon for the gar- den.
