S. Could Grow Forests PROMINENT SPEAKERS VOICE THEIR OPINIONS -0 One-fifth of Forest Land in Country Is Publicly Owned Today, Says Pack = (By United Press) New London, N. H., August 26.— Warning "lre business interests, par- ticularly ‘the newspaper publishers, ‘that -thére must be action at once for ‘better ‘fire protection—$1,000,000 a ‘year ‘for guarding forests against the $30,000,000 a year fire loss—Charles ‘Lathrop Pack, president of the Amer- . ‘ican Forestry Association, spoke here ‘tdlay at a conference of foresters, ‘timberland owners, paper, pulp men and lumbermen. Pack also urged a ‘two million a year appropriation for the acquisition of forest land by the government for the purpose of grow- ing timber to replace our rapidly dis- appearing supplies. The conference is being conducted by the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests. Some of the speakers on the day program are George W. Sisson, Jr., president of the American Pulp and Paper asso- ciation; R. S. Kellogg, secretary of the American News Print Service; Col. Henry S. Graves, former chief forester of the U. S.; Elwood Wilson, forester of the Luxrentide Paper Co. and Grand Mere, Quebec. Forests are not only being wiped out by ‘destructive conflagrations as ‘well as ‘by numerous small fires, but these fires also prevent the natural ‘reforestation of hundreds of thous- ‘ands of acres of cut over lands” said ‘Pack. “Our direct loss in timber by these fires is $30,000,000 a year. Al- together there are 315,000,000 acres of state and private owned forest lands in the protection of which the government should cooperate. At present half of this vast area is whol- ly unprotectg¢d and protection for the other half is entirely inadequate, If . -these lands are to be kept productive there must be tremendous expansion in our present fire protection activi- ties by the federal government, the states and private owners. Legisla- tion authorizing the government to spend a million dollars annually in cooperation with the states is immed- iately essential. “Close estimates show 81,000,000 acres of waste forest land on which there is no growth of any value. This area, greater than the combined for- est area of Germany, Denmark, Hol- land, Belgium, France, Switzerland, spain and Portugal should be made, under proper management, to pro- duce forest trees. “Our standing timber is now being cut or destroyed by fire, disease and incects four times as fast as new tim- ber is being grown. In the case of saw timber alone, the destruetion is more than 5 times the growth of such material. What this means to the nation in the way of higher prices for forest products is apparent. “Adequate fire protection of our forests will solve 75 per cent of the difficulties now confronting us in at- ,fempting to keep our forest lands productive. “At present about one fifth of the forest land of the country is publicly owned ,mainly by the federal ov- ernment. This ownership should bhe increased to one half of the timber growing land of the United Stotes well distributed throughout the prin- cipal forest regions.” KEE KKK K KKK KKK * GRANT VALLEY * % % % o % k2 kb ok b 3t % Julius Lange 1éft Thursday for his home at Granite Falls after a week’s visit with his brother, Fred, and fam- ily.

A new insulating material is being made from a kind of kelp which is found in the Australian waters. molst precipitate is subjected to pres- sure, after which it is hardened by a treatment with formalin and then it is shaped in a lathe. The material takes the place of slate and marble, which is largely in use for this pur- pose, and is much less expensive.— BExchange.

I was almost a complete nerv- ous wreck, could never get a good night's sleep and got up feeling worse than when I went to bed. I just felt tired and worn out all the time and became badly exhausted at the least little exertion. My appetite was very poor, after every meal I nearly al- ways became badly nauseated and would bloat up with gas until I was in perfect misery. Often I felt so bad I had to go to bed for I was unable to be up and around, “One day a friend advised me to try Tanlac, and before I had finished the first bottle I was feeling much better. After taking five bottle I feel like a new woman. That tired, worn out feeling is all gone, my nerves are in good condition and I sleep like a child all night long, always feeling greatly refreshed on getting up in wearing the Roosevelt smile now-a- days.
