PROMPT advantage has been taken by
Indiana land owners Of law passed at
The last session of the legislature to en-
courage the growing Of trees, says an
exchange. This act offers inducements
for the starting and maintenance Of
private woodlands ~ forest reservations,
such lands being appraised for taxation
ut only II per acre. To secure benefit
from the exemption the forest must
consist Of not less than no trees IN each
acre. A description Of the land must
be filed with the county auditor for
record and IN examination must be
made by him before appraisal, No
horses. cattle, sheep or goats may be
pastured until the trees are four inches
In diameter. Much interest Is shown
by farmers, US many Of them rs twenty.
eight IN one county taking advantage OF
the law. The reservations are from
three to eight acres. The benefit Of the
law cannot be claimed until the trees
Rre three years old but the ultimate nd.
vantage to land owners has caused the
law to be regarded with favor by them.
