FOREST NOTES. 



The Automobile Club of America, 

 through its bureau of tours, is urging 

 automobilists to use care with fire in 

 timbered regions. 



Oils distilled from the needles of 

 spruce and fir trees are being used to 

 scent petroleum floor oils which are 

 sometimes objectionable on account 

 of their odor. 



The governor of Iowa has set aside 

 a fire-prevention day, urging that the 

 citizens discuss conditions and create 

 a sentiment against forest fires and 

 other conflagrations. 



The average area administered by 

 a ranger on the federal forests of the 

 United States is about 100,000 acres. 

 In Germany the area administered by 

 a man of equivalent rank is about 700 

 acres. 



The republic of Colombia is said to 

 have excellent regulations for its na- 

 tional forests. Lumbermen who take 

 cedar and mahogany are required to 

 plant young trees of the same species 

 in the cut-over spaces. 



The forests of Norway are mostly 

 in private or municipal ownership, 

 the nation owning 28.5 per cent of the 

 total forest area. The national for- 

 ests of the United States occupy only 

 about twenty per cent of the total for- 

 est area of the country.

HULL YOUR SEED QUICKLY. PERFECTLY and ECONOMICALLY With a 

 "MATCHLESS" CLOVER and ALFALFA HULLER 



That's just what you will do if you use a "Matchless" Huller on the job. It's the one huller that will hull all the Clover or Alfalfa you 

 can get to it without sacrificing the quality of the work. Here's the reason! We use square steel brads in our hulling cylinder. This construction 

 has every advantage over rasps of spikes, because no set of spikes will knock the seed out of the damp pods. Rasps gum up and are easily destroyed. 

 Our system of separation is unique and effective. This consists of a series of rotating troughs with perforation in the bottom, with provision for 

 adjustment to meet the various conditions of clover. The Patented Steel Scrapers attached to the bottom of these troughs thoroughly scrape the

on your, own farm that the "Matchless" is thespeedies; and cleanest huller on t.ie market. WRITE FOR CATALOG TODAY, or call at our nearest
