In view Of the urgent need OF extend
ed timber planting in the prairie states,
for climatic effect and uses
the doubtsaI policy Of clearing up and
~cultivating q natural timber belts
should haue the careful consideration
of our people.
A bit Of actual experience rnzy prove
more convincing than whole pages Of
argument. About ten years ago I se-
cured forty acres OF denuded timber
land in Benton county for the small
uEs os Hv6 a1Iiars per acre. As portions
Of the surface showed sprouts of oak,
ash, elm aud other valuable specles Of
timber s~pringiRg mp [ determined to

ture take her own course Ia retimber-

To-day ii is worth a journey or a rum
| Der Of miles to- ncte the . az and the
height Of the timber covering the whole
LOT. Thousands OF the oak sapIIngs ara
from eight to ten inches IN diameter
and from thirty-five to forty feet IN
height. The timber on the land to-day
viii sell for st least Sis per rcre, leaving
sas surface as it was ten years ago.
Wkiie worth far more than this sum
to the owner, who can utilize the thin
nlngs for practical farm uses, permitting
the timber In the near future TO attain
saw LOG size. It's present selling value
makes fair income t$I 30 per acre each
year, for this class OF lands have hstle
value for cultivation.
Thousands OF settlers have had expe,
rience Of this kind, yet the practice Of
the majority Of the owners OF the timber
lands has beef 10 cut 81 the timber and
sell b land at q Iow price to those who
are not able TO purchase the higher
priced prairie land.
Wes should HAYES law exempting from

for say ten years the attention of our
people would be ca led to this impor.
