ALPINE DAIRYING ON INCREASE; PASTURE LANDS AT PREMIUM

The growth of the dairy industry in Alpine districts during the last two decades has led to keen competition for the summer pasture lands, with the result that everywhere, as soon as the winter snows disappear from the hillsides, the, cattle are taken out to graze, and the pastures are overcrowded with more beasts than can reasonably be expected to feed, says the Christian Science Monitor. The result is that on the steep .Mopes the turf is cropped close and cut up by the continual movement of the animals, exposing the bare earth or underlying rocks. Thus when a rainstorm comes, there is nothing to prevent the uncovered loose earth from being -washed down to the lower levels. The little tunnels of water from such a storm soon cut their way down below the level of the remaining urf, and gradually collect in their downward progress a burden of grit and stone which acts like a verilable file, gouging out the bed of the stream. Material Dumped. Ey the time such a torrent has reached the level of the valley below,

it has accumulated a great mass ofl

material which is "dumped" as soon as the pace of the stream slackens, on the area which is technically known as the "torrential cone of deposit." It often happens that in the course of a severe summer rain many acres of flourishing orchards and meadows are buried several feet in bonldera and mud. When a torrent has started, the stream which is responsible for the damage should be "corrected.' In the lower part, the, force of the stream is checked by building masonry dams at various points where the erosion has exposed a solid foundation; between these main dams, smaller intermediate ones built of dry stone or wood fascine.H and bundles of brushwood. The result is that the water lias to go down a series of steps, and jt each intermediate level portion its pace is checked and any loose stones which may be washed down -will take a long time to find their way to the bottom To make such correction work permanent, it is essenetial that the banks of the stream should be planted with trees to prevent the water changing its course. Trees Check Water. Further up the hillside the trouble mutt be tackled at its source by making tree plantations on the ground which forms the "collecting basis" of the torrent. If the hillside is foresttlad. the tree trunks act as a barrier to check the headlong rush of water, while the matting of small rootlets

binds the soil and prevents it being washed away. Moreover the leaf fall of each year helps to thicken the carpet of partially decayed vegetable humus, which has a wonderful capac-; ity for retaining water. In the Alps the hardiest tree speries are the European larch and the Cembran pine, which can generally be made to grow up to an altitude of about 7,000 feet above the sea level. Above this contour only shrubs and grass will grow, so that if the cattle have cut up the ground badly beyond this, steps must be taken to check excessive grazing, and if necessary, the land must be sodded with cut turf. For the peasant who 13 entirely dependent upon his cattle for a livlihood It is, of course, extremely difficult to realize that the government forester or forest engineer who undertakes such work is not robbing the farmer of his precious grazing ground for his own nefarious purposes, but Is in reality carrying through a far-sighted policy of "the greatest good for the greatest number."

$25,000,000 LOSS i PREDICTED IF BILL PASSES ASSEMBLY (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 3. Passage of a bill now before the Indiana general assembly to prohibit the use of paint fpraying machines would mean a loss of $25,000,000 annually to Indiana furniture manufacturers alone, according to George Sellers of Elwood, Fecretary of the Furniture Manufac- , turers Division of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce. j A public hearing on the bill, which was introduced by Rep. John V. Thipl. Republican of Lake county, was held Wednesday evening, at which time manufacturers set forth their objections to it. Mr. Sellers said that Indiana ranks second in the mannfacture of furniture in the United States, declaring there now are 198 such organizations in the state. Indianapolis, Evansville, Shelbyville, Frankfort, Newcastle and Elwood interests would be affected if the measure became a law, it was said. According to. George H. Mossere, managing director of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, the automobile industry and perhaps farmers would be affected by the bill. Some question was raised, as to whether farmers could use sprays in orchards and on vegetables. In most cases " where paint spraying machines are used in Indiana, respirators or masks are worn by the operators, Mr. Moeser said. The Thiel bill is to protect "the health of workmen from poisonous

and dangerous gases and fumes," and "prohibits the use of paint spray machines used for spraying of poisonous and dangerous materials and ingredients dangerous to the health of work-, men." The measure holds the operalion of such paint spray machines a "menace to the health of workmen" and provides that violation of the proposed act would be a misdemeanor. The world's annual yield of raw wool is estimated at about 3,000,000,009 pounds, of which about 40 per cent is produced in countries of the British, empire.
