Gotz, until recently the city forester and promoted several weeks ago to the park superintendency, has submitted Ins detailed repoit of the activities of his department during the year 1914. The report shows the de- pal tment, over which Mr. Getz, of course, will continue to pieside, to be in a flourishing condition. It is as follows: Herewith I submit the third annual report of the forestry department for the year 1914. The successful record made by the forestry department during the past year has been due, in large measure, to the greater efficiency that has been developed in our forestry force.

The operating expenses of the department were $595.98 less than in 1913, notwithstanding- our private contract business showed an increase of $715.12. The department's profit and loss account in 1913.showed a loss of $1,083.93, while in 1914 the loss was but $86.34. This gratifying showing- was secured by improved methods of handling the business, by the greater efficiency of the force and by the profit made in reselling- two carloads of flue trees which we were fortunate in securing at half the usual price from a nursery desiring to use the ground for other purposes. The Department Work. The forestry work done under private contract amounted to $4.102.61, Our services were in great demand throughout the year and by constant employment the men developed greater proficiency in their work.

Naturally, this high-class work by skilled foresters demonstrated to the citizens that it pays big dividends to do this work correctly. The trees planted, trimmed and treated by the department in the past are in a uniformly thrifty condition, which demonstrates how nature responds to intelligent treatment. Tree-planting--Arbor Day, This was a banner year for the planting of shade trees in Fort "Wayne, and it is estimated that about 2,300 young nursery-grown trees were planted. 'In all cases only approved varieties were planted, and ninety per cent of this number averaged ten to twelve feet in height. In almost every case each tree was protected with a tree- guard and stake, as required by ordinance.

In the few Instances where guards were not placed about the trees, one can notice their damaged condition caused by horses biting the bark and children swinging on them. The forester will urge that guards be placed around these trees to avoid further damage. This tree-planting revival was due in a large' measure to the spirit aroused by the observance of Arbor day. The forester interested the school board and the various women's clubs of the city to celebrate the spring Arbor day, April 17, 1914. Through the co-operftion of above-mentioned board and clubs Dr.

Herman Babson, of Purdue university, was brought to the city to deliver two Arbor-day ad- dresses--one at the high school and another at the Jefferson school--his expenses being paid by the Commercial club. Appropriate exercises wi-re held at the city schools and each exercise was- closed with the planting of a tree on the school grounds by the pupils. For these exercises one tiee donated by each of the following: Women's league, Women's Reading club, College club, Mothers' club, parent-teacher clubs of the Clay and Hamilton schools. The board further paid for the planting of the above trees, and for the painting of the stakes and letteimg the names of the donors thereon. On May 14, 1914, the St.

Paul's school trustees purchased five Norway maples to be planted about the school and church property. These trees were planted by the pupils under the supervision of the forester, and dedicated to the classes from 1914 to 1919. The planting was witnessed by the trustees, and the forester delivered a short talk relative to-the work. The tree stakes were painted white, and the class numerals were lettered in black. It is hoped that this appreciation of nature will be manifested on each successive Arbor day, Removing Poplars, Dead and Diseased Trees.

The department this year inaugurated a wholesale removal of dead and undesirable trees from the city streets. This work was done for the most part by men who secured special permits. As the trees were condemned these men were notified, and they lost no time in removing them. This feature of the work will, in a short time, greatly improve the general appearance of Fort Wayne's shade-tree system. Tree Insect Diseases.

Of the scale insects, San Jose and elm scales seem to be the most numerous, and if some remedial measures are not taken, a large percentage of our shade trees will be destroyed. A scale disease, commonly known as the Putnam scale, was discovered on the Norway maple. It was found in abundance on poplar trees in 1912, and multiplied in such quwitities that it was forced to select other trees for its food. Besides serving as breeding places for scale insects, there are many other practical objections to the poplar as a shade tree, and their re- a from our city should be undertaken at the earliest possible date The extent of the injury to the Norway maple by the Putnam scale cannot be estimated at the present time, but it be logical to assume that the twice-stabbed ladybug larva feeds upon this scale, owing to the fact that on each ot the four trees found infected, there were present innumerable pupa cases of the ladybug. It was the presence of these conspicuous pupa cases on Norway maples which caused some alarm among our citizfens.

The white-marked tussock moth was present in its normal quantities, but a natural parasite seemed to hold it well in check. The red spider was present in abnormal quantities, causing the defoliation of a large number of elm and bassuood trees, and the partial defoliation ol' sugar and Norway maples. The elms, which were completely defoliated, developed a second set of A tingle defoliation rarely kills a tree. A comparatively new leaf disease was also present on the sugar and Norway maples. This disease and the red spider are accentuated by an extremely dry, hot summer.

The army worm infested Fort Wai no probably for the first time. It was present in large numbers this year, and affected the lawns principally, and under favorable weather conditions may cause a vast amount of damage thp coming year. The foiestry department's spraying during the past year w-as rather irregular, but a systematic scheme of spraying should be inaugurated soon as finances will permit. as FOR CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL LEE J. DRIVER WILL SPEAK IN WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP.

Former Superintendent of Schools in Randolph County Will Deliver Talks. Loe J. Driver, former county school superintendent of Randolph county, will be the speaker at an important meeting in Washington township this evening. The meeting will be held for the purpose of considering what kind of a school building the citizens shall const! uct. Mr.

Driver is a firm advocate of the consolidated school, and in his talk tonight he will urge upon his hearers that such a school be constructed. STATEMENT. Cost of operating the department $4,663.00.

Giving to present conditions, the policy of the forestry department Avill be somewhat changed.

Our principal aim will be to render the best possible service at a minimum expense. The support and kindly assistance rendered by the board, the secretary and office force in making this department a success is not only appreciated by the foi eater, but by the citizens at largo. This splendid universal co-operation will merit greater accomplishments in the future Very lespectfully submitted, CARL J. GETZ, Forester. The Japanese secretary of the British legation in Tokio has, recently teachings of the fourteenth centur, writer, Konko, on what is to be regarded as bad taste Tho objects to be avoided as violations taste are- Too much furniture in a living room; too many pens in a stand, too many Buddhas in a private shrine; too many rocks, trees and herbs in a garden; too many children In a house; too many words when men meet; but "too many books in a bookcase there can never be, nor too much liter in a dust heap." There are more consolidated schools in Randolph county than in any other county in the state, and this situation is largely due to Mr.

Driver's efforts. He declares that the advantages of the consolidated school for a township in place of a number of small schools are infinite. In the consolidated schools the equipment is of the most modern kind, with gymnasium, manual training and domestic science departments and everything else that goes to make a modern school.

The World's Gold ff Pouring Into America 0 The United States has its first great victory to record as a result of the war in Europe. It is a peaceful victory that wilt shed its practical benefits into every channel of American industry and commerce. For the first time in many years the balance of gold exchange is in favor of this country. In other words, European purchases of American commodities have greatly exceeded American purchases of European commodities during the past year. This is a condition which must benefit the United States because Europe's purchases must be paid for with European gold.

This gold coming into the United States will be distributed through all trade channels. Such a situation should result in great business prosperity. Read THE LITERARY of March 6th (on sale everywhere to-day) and you will find a complete description of this important development, including a feflex of public opinion as shown by the newspaper press of Europe and America, regarding it. THE DIGEST makes plain' to' every reader the tremendous importance of this rare situation in its relation to the business conditions of the United States. Has Japan Designs Upon China? THE LITERARY DIGEST of March 6th, also sheds a flood of light from authoritative sources upon this phase of world-politics in the Eastern Hemisphere which had nearly escaped comment because of public attention being focused upon Europe and the war.

If you would have an interesting, impartial chronicle of the war in its many-sidedness, by all means join the million American readers who eagerly read THE LITERARY DIGEST each week. It is not only for war-news that it is so widely appreciated in American homes, but because it deals with all other news of importance in the fields of foreign and domestic Politics, Science, Invention, Religion, Literature, Music, Drama, Sports, Trade, and Commerce.
