Therefore Preservation Of Forests In This Country, Toronto, Aug. 13.— Though there are in the United States 165,000,000 acres of national, state and other pub- licly owned forests, four-fifths of the forest area of the country are pri- vately owned, J. W. Toumey, dean of (he forest school of the United States department of agriculture, told the British association fer the advance- ment of science today. Consequently the problem of forest conservation is not one that‘technical experts alone can solve, gince final decision as to forestry policies wsu‘ with private land owners, said Mr. Toumey. The trend toward public acquisition of more forests and the public attitude to taxation do not in- dicate that the solution lies in public control, he added. “All the forest land must be inten- slvely managed for continuous yield before the annual growth will ap- Personals Mrs. Dexter W.

The infant was taken to the town farm, temporarily, but will probably remain there perman- ently if no one comes to claim him. The baby was well dressed and near him was found a letter well written, saylng that the child was born July 18 and requested that it be christened by the name Willlam.
