I set out several thousand spruce- divided «<mally between tho white and Norway spruce, but they have done extremely well. 1 do not know of any pest attacking the .spruce, unless once in a while white grub, but this is very seldom. My Judgment would be that the average growth, per annum, would be of. white pine from orders of life these Diving and spirit- ual attributes were denied..

I have known a white pine to grow 37 inche-s in one fceur, and I have known some of them to grow not more than a foot.

I have given the subject attention for a number of years, even before I set out any trees, as I deem it one of the great] questions of this state.\- J2ugene Herrustreet. of Cold Brook, who made plantation's in 1916, 1917, 1919, 1920 and 1928. writes: 'The plantings are all in fine con- dition. The bulk of the trees have reached a height of from 10 to 13 feet and many of thorn have a diameter of 6 to 7 \inches two feet above the givuind. I find the large-st tree's in the U»19 planting .where I plowed be- fore planting, setting the trees in the furrows.

Dean of the Albany Med'ical College, who is mak- ing yearly plantations on a 100-acre project answers the question as to the success of fall <plantin-gs that is often asked. He -writes: \The spring- amL fo.1T plantings for the year 1924 have done splendidly. The pines now average about. 2 to 2^ feet in height and are vigorous and the Idea that £ band concert in London might have been heard in Chicago wouidi have been re- garded as almost beyond* the- reaJms of fantastic flotion. Yet here we are, and the scientists tell us that we nave only scratched the surface of the raudiio's possibilities.

In a recent inteivsting well-written article prepared by H. P. Davis, vice- president «>f the W<\stinghouse Com- pany, on \The History of Broadcxs-ting in the United Stales,\ the writer points out the fact that no longer than sixty-oh* years apr<> a Boston rvews- |paper published the folio-wing- article: I \A man abou: 4'! y< ars of age, giving | the name of Jos.hu i Coppersmith, has 1 been anv-sted in Xow York for at- tempting to extort funds from Ignor- ant and supers;; f w0u.s -people by ex- hibiting- a device which fie says will convey the human- vrlce any distance over metallic wirvs ^o that it will be heard by the listener at the other end.

Tremaine, Democratic State Comptroller and chief apologist for Tammany fiscal policies, has dis- covered with gr«>at person-il satisfac- tion that the public debt of the state of New York at present is. but one per cent of it.s assessed valuation. Thisis begging the question. What the- taxpayer wants to know is whether economy has resulted from the borrowing policy championed by Governor Smith, and Tammany Hall From 1923 up to date, the people, urged by the Governor, have- author- ized the issue of $465,000,000 in bonds.
