REFORESTING IS
TO BE ADVANCED
Conklin Calls For Men to
Work in the Woods Dur

The State of

most extensive re

Conklin has ask
wsiwfcn COiymie/ cd for young men
to volunteer to plant trees. Twenty
five State College students have al
ready enrolled, but as there are 8,-
000,000 trees to set out many more
men are needed.
The plan is to reforest lands now
owned by the state, many of which
were cut out years ago and which
will now be scientifically handled.
The reservations to be planted are in
Union, Potter, Tioga and Westmore
land counties and if it can be done
tracts will be planted in other coun
ties. The camps will be located on
the reserves and all available labor
concentrated.
The state nurseries have about
21,000,000 trees, of which 8,000,000
must be planted unless there is to
be serious loss, but owing to the
number of foresters and woodsmen
who have enlisted we need men to
plant," said Commissioner Conklin.
"The planting season will open about
April 5 or 10 and continue until
about May 25. The men will be well
cared for at camp, paid good wages,
given traveling expenses and in ad
dition will have the valuable expert-'
ence in the woods and know that
they are doing something to help
along their state's conservation work.
This year we will plant on more de
nuded hillsides than ever beforo if
we can get the men."

Commission sat to-day for arguments

Bees Hard Hit.—This winter is
declared to have been the most de
structive in years to bees by George
JI. Rea, the State Apiary Inspector,
who estimates the loss in thousands
of dollars in an industry which ef
forts are being made to encourage.
The greatest loss was occasioned by
failure to protect hives and tho bulk
of bees wintered outdoors will be
lost, says the inspector. Bees which
survive will be too weak to secure
full honey production. The Inspec
tor urges that care be taken to pro
tect tho remaining hives.

Walter J. Shaffer Thanks Senders of Christmas Boxes;
"Puts Heart Into a Man," He Writes
Two Harrisburg women became
interested in Walter J. Shaffer, the
Dauphin aviator in France, through
reading his interesting letters in the
Telegraph. They concluded to send
him a Christmas box and have just
received a lettej - of thanks undec
date of January G. Among other
things he says:
"Your package of candy, dates,
coffee, etc., arrived the other day,
but X was too busy flying—and eat
ing the contents—to find time to
thank you for the kind and thought
ful gift. Will try to now, if these
Frenchmen will let up on their
noise, since there are six of them
beside me sitting around the open
fireplace in a vain endeavor to keep
warm. What with the "beau coup
pinard" they drank for dinner and
the fact that they don't have to
"work" to-day—since it's raining—
they are celebrating in their usual
way, by making a lot of noise.
"You cannot imagine how ap
preciated that Washington coffee
was unless you have drunk this aw
ful French stuff, and then you would
understand why I regard it as a
gold mine. Far French coffee al
ways has a burnt taste, and besides
being served black sometimes is
minus the sugar, and that was
where your "sweet" offering came
in. Incidentally I have not used the
French coffee since yours arrived.
You know. I only acquired the cof
fee habit in France, not because I
like it, but that's about ail one
ever got for breakfast while in the
schools. Being routed out tit 4

flected the beams thrown by a neigh
boring street light. As for the knock
ing and tapping, said Mrs. Corby,
"Why you know what an old house
does when the wind blows."
And the bones in the "casket."
Well, they weren't "exactly bones," it
was said to-day, but it looked like
quicklime, say the discoverers of the
"hones," and Jou know quicklime is
used to decay bones. The reporter
looked, and there were traces of
what looked as though it might by
some remote chance be quicklime,
only neither the reporter nor the
Corbys have ever seen quicklime.
And the ' headless fellow who
usurped the heat of the sitting room
stove, has become a person of un
known sex. It was said this morning
at the house that it really would be
difficult to tell from memory if it
were a man or woman, and the
crowds having driven him away, his
sex and identity bid fair to remain
unsolved.

speeding up potato consumption.
The Bureau of Markets of the
State Department of Agriculture calls
attention to the Importance of look
ing after the seed potatoes that are
to be used this year in a bulletin just
issued. Many thousands of bushels
of potatoes throughout the state have
been frozen during the severe wea
ther of this winter, and no doubt
many more bushels will freeze be
fore warm weather arrives. Unless
the farmer is extremely careful he
will be planting potatoes that have
been slightly frozen, thereby reduc
ing their vitality, if not completely
destroying their germinating power.
The Bulletin says: "The Bureau
urges that the farmers be ex
tremely careful in making shipments
during the next few weeks. Several
complaints from farmers who had
loaded cars and shipped to the city,
only to find their potatoes frozen on
arrival, have been received. Before
attempting to ship in car lots the
farmer should get reliable informa
tion as to preparation of the car,
method of heating, etc.. and see tha
nothing is left undone that is neces
sary to insure safe arrival. It Is evi
dent that many bushels of potatoes
must be consumed between now and
seeding time if waste Is to be pre
vented. It will be safer for the av
erage farmer to sell his potatoes f.
o. b., station instead of making ship
ments to be sold on arrival unless he
understands the business. If farm
ers desire to make their own ship
ments they can write the Bureau of
Markets at Harrisburg and they will
be put in touch with reliable parties
who will give them fair treatment.
"It is highly important that the
supply of seed should be taken care
of first, and then efforts should be
made to market the surplus stock as
quickly as possible. Farmers should
not be discouraged because of the
unfavorable conditions which have
confronted them this season, but
should plant freely. The introduc
tion of potato flour should make an
increased demand for the potatoes,
and the Department of Agriculture
officials believe it will be a good pol
it icy to keep up the acreage this year."
Mechanics Are Willing
to Aid Government by
Working in Shipyards
More than a score of mechanics
signified their willingness to be em
ployed by the government in ship
building work, called upon to
do so by the Dauphin County Com.
mlttee of Public Safety. The registra
tion is taking place daily in the of
fice of W. H. Gaither, at <fhe Bergner
building. Registration is conducted
every day, and from 7 until 8 o'clock
in the evening.
Of the men who have signed them
selves as willing t.o enlist In the
service of the nation in its shipbuild
ing program, several are advanced in
years, and others have admitted that
they are not skilled mechanics. All
these men have declared themselves
as anxious to serve the government
