Comprehensive Forest Plan
Urged by Secretary Wallace
Washington) Dec, 18.—American,
farmers, comprising aoout one-third
of the country'# population, And
themselves, notwithstanding- tho
hard work and large production thia
year, still laboring under a serious
disadvantage as coapared with oth
er groups of workers because of the;
distortioaate relationship of prices/
Secretary Wallace of the depart
ment of agriculture told PresidonV
Harding and congress today in- his
annual reports
"There is food in superabundance'*
Mr. Wallace said, "and this con
tributes to the prosperity of business
and industry for a time, but the,
inadequate returns which the farm*
er is receiving,-and has for three
years. inevitably must result in re-1
adjustments in the number of peo
ple on the forms and in the cities
which will not be for the continuing
good-of the nation;"
There has been a greatly , accal
eiated movement of farmers, and,
especially farmers' sons from the
farm to the cites and>ladustHal cen
ters the secretary reported,-, declar
ing that best estimates "indicate that
during July. August and September
twice as many persons left the farms
for cities as normally."
Th» secretary renewed his recom
mendation for rural credits legisla
tion, asserting that action should be
taken promptly to increase the max*
imutn which a-Farm Loan bank may
loan to an individual from $10,009.
to $25,000. He advocated also a re
adjustment of the term loans may
run. saying a system should be es,
tablished by which the farmer could
borrow for periods of from six
months to three years. Creation of
a new bureau of home economics
was urged by the secretary, t»
enable the department to extend Its
efforts toward better economic sys
tems in the rural community.
Another problem requiring imme
diate attention, the secretary said,
was "the necessity of working out
and applying a comprehensive plaft
of protecting, regrowing and utiliz
ing our forests." He declared forest
legislation should be enacted extend
lng federal co-operation to the
states in the protection of forects,
co-ordinate atat» and federal service
in the growing and: distribution of
forest-planting material, extending
purchase of timberlandi "as rapidly
as the condition of the treasury will
permit^" and cohering into national
forests some areas now comprised in
Indian reservations.
Thle year would-be a prosperous
year tor agriculture, and- conse
quently a prosperous year for the
nation, if the relationship of prices
now was1 such as' existed before the
war. Secretary Wallace said. There
has been some increase- In1 prices of
farm products, but- there has not
been much Improvement in the gen
eral relationship between tbe prices
of the things tbe farmer produces
and the thing he bnya.
Among the causes which contribute
to the normal relationship of farm
prices to the prices of'other things.
Secretary Wallace mentioned these:
O+wprodufctlon of many farm
ctops.
Continued high freight raies.
Maintenance of Industrial wages
at1 near war-time levels.
Economic depression and depre
ciated currency In European coun
tries.
Interference with the efficient
functioning of necessary industries
Unreasonably high costs of dt«s
tributlon of some facm products.
Picturing.the plight of American
farmers Secrataary Wallace said the
production records of this year fur
nish a vivid illustration of the vi
tality of American agriculture and of
the courage and, hopefulness of the
.American farmer,
"Certainly no other industry could
have taken the losses agrlcuture has
taken and maintain production," he
said, "and we have no evidence to

workers would have taken the re

Mapping Out
Plans, Alaska
The United States Biological Sur
vey has mapped out a definite pro
gram for the building up 0f the fur
resources of Alaska by the intro
duction of various kinds of fur
animals and game on those sections
o t le 1 errltory in every way suit
able for their habitat but on which
they are not found at present," is
the information given out by E P
Walker, head of the Territorial Bio
ogical Survey, who arrived recently
on the Princess Mary from Seattle
wltrpMhv beeD 10 consultation
with E. W. >»elson, chief of the bu
reau.
The Biological Survey Is the only
department of the Government con
cerned with the development of wild
life, and, as Alaska is primarily tit
led for the propagation of everv
variety of fur bearing animal, its
Purpose is to establish and encour
age the development of a permanent
fur industry i„ the Territory that
will give employment all the year
round to its inhabitants and one
that is assured of a steady, sure
growth for generations to come.
A careful investigation of climatic
conditions, soil, and food suppiy haa
already been made of every part of
Alaska and a close study made of
the habits and manner of breeding
of the animals to be introduced in
order to carry our this project sue
cessfully.
Animals to Be Introduced.
As a result of this extensive study,
marten are to be placed on the
Prince of Wales group; mink on
Kodiak and Aifognak Islands; beav
er on the Chichagof and- Baranoff
group; marten on the Baranoff Isl
ands; blue grouse on the Prince of
Wales group.
Mountain goats are to be trans
ferred from the mainland to the Ad
miralty group. One has already
been placed there and five or eight
more will be rele-tsed this fall.
It has been found that rabbits will
serve as food for fur bearers and
they are to be introuced • on the
large islands of Southeastern Alas
ka, which have not been leased for
fur farms.
Other projects are under considera
tion and the Biological Survey has
sent letters to game clubs asking

who were listening to the conversa

The audience was cautioned at the
beginning of the seance not to pro

would disturb the spirits.
After the "spirits" had talked fr.r

who was somewhat skeptical, took a

SURPLUS WIVES OP HARFM
ON BARGAIN' TERMS
Constantinople, Dec. 18.—Any
person in need of a comely wife,
guaranteed free from jealous dis
position and of a yielding and sub
jective temperament should corres
pond with Mustapha Kemal Pasha,
I present head of the Turkish govprh
I ment. The latter has on his hands
a large consignment of wives, nuin
| baring one hundred and fifty, to be
exact, the unclaimed property of the
lately departed Sultan of Turkey,
who recently fled from Constanti
nople. leaving his harem behind hira.
The Turkish authorities of the new
regime are reported to be put to It
to find husbands for these surplus
beauties of the ex-Sultan's seraglio,
whom, It is alleged, are being of
ferred singly or in job lots on bar
gain terms. A tip to prospective
bargain-hunters, however, is con
tained in a statement emanating
from the new government, which de
clares that all efforts at disposing
of the surplus merchandise having
failed, the government will throw the
stock on the market, turning t?'e wo
men out to shift for themselves. !t
is suggested by the best matrimonial
agents that better terms may be
made by withholding offers for the
time being.
them to contribute Information and
Ideas along this line. Individuals
are also urged- to send them any
suggestions of possible value in
building up this fur industry.
Mr. Walker thinks that if the big
game to be found in the Territory
were properly advertised it would at
tract big game hunters and interest
capitalists, potential investors, who
now seek their sport and spend their
money in other more distant hunting
grounds. Mr. Walker is personally
acquainted with an Englishman who
has made three extensive hunting
trip:! to Alaska carrying away tro
phies and specimens to be presented
to museums. One expedition of this
kind often results in the expendi
ture of $7,000 or more in the coun
try and also gives employment to
a number of men.
In connection with the building
up of the fur industry here, tl e B o
logical Survey Is now trying out a
plan that has been followed for
some years with great success in the
States, of securing the services of a
wolf hunter for the protection of Its
wild life, especially the deer, to
whom the wolf is a real menace. J.
S. Ligon, who has been with the
Biological Survey In Michigan, is to
take up this work.
Mr. Walker has been at the head
of the Alaskan division of the Bio
logical Survey since the spring of
1921. He was with the Bureau of
Fisheries for several years previous
to entering this department. He
has always been greatly interested in
this work and has made it a life
