The Important Part Which Trees Play in

Doubtless you have all seen, during
the last len years, numerous references
in newspapers, ma gazines, ETC., to the
necessity of misrepresentation. This
plea, however. even in this country, is
not as nov ell and of as recent date as
may be imagined. AS far back as our
colonial times, the fear of an exhaus-
ton of lumber supply alarmed New
England legislators; and as early rs

its prizes for timber planting. We
may smile over the fears of those times
