Which May Help Repair the Lumber
mans DepredatiOns in MinnesOta,
From the Troy Times
Minnesota. one of the mcst important of
the numbering states, long since realized
that forest destruction was a serious mat
ter, but for many res sons this destruction
was not stopped until recently. In the
meantime great tracts Of forest land had
been entirely denuded of their trees 1t
has therefore been found necessary not
only to protect what remains, but to re-
store what has been destroyed. At a re-
cent meeting of the Minnesota State For
estry Asst citation plan was submitted to
enable the state to acquire and protect
forest lands at trifliEg expense. The plan
has 80 many good features end is so prac-
teal that 1T will probably be adopted not
only In Mime sofa. but also in other sta tes
1t provides that state, county and town
forestry boards may be constituted by the
legislature, to serve without pay. Owners
OF pine lands that have been cut over and
OF other lands, especially rough, rocky or
sandy lands. which not likely to be
uuhzed FOR agricultural purposes for years
to come. and which today are practically
valueless. are invited to deed this property
to the state for forestry purposes.
All lands so decided are to be exempt
from taxes and are to be under the con-
troll of the forestry boards. The state board
Is to hav. general supervision, but the
country and town boards are to have the
immediate charge of planting and cultivat-
ing the lands: LAUNDERING will be carried
on In these lands under proper forestry
restrictions and the income received from
this industry will be divided. One-third
Will go to the state. counties and towns
one-third to persons deciding the lands and
one-third to educational institutions. There
seems to be nothing in this plan that is not
thoroughly practicable In every state in
the Union there is a large acreage of waste
land upon which the owners are compelled
to pay taxes. without receiving any return
for their money. This land II properly
planted with trees end protected against
depreciation could be me de valuable The
expense Of planting would probably be
large Tor individual owners, but II sys-
tematically carried out by the state IL
could be 81 eatly reduced. Even II the pub
lie failed to receive one cert of income, the
mere fact that the forests which were once
the pride Of the nation would be restored
and preserved would amply compensate
Tor airy expense attached to the plan.

A New Spirit in Housekeeping.

There are hopeful signs that the board
Ing house epoch is giving Nax to an era of
light housekeeping, and the economic i'm

fought. although labor-saving appliances
are at last slowly winning their way in the
