French Forest Methods.

An American forest owner does
what he likes with his own" Not so
in Europe.
The German Black Forest has BEEN
a source of wealth for generations, be-
cause it is cut as fast as it grows and
no faster.
In France no owner can clear
forest tract without giving four
months notice to the Under-Prefect-
ure. And it is not a mere form, for
permission will be refused if the for
est is necessary
For the maintenance of the soil up
on mountains and slopes; for the de-
fense of the soil against erosions and
the invasion of rivers and streams;
for the existence of springs and
watercourses; for the protection OF
dunes and slopes against the erosions
of the sea and the invasion of sand;
for the defense of the national terri
tory in the frontier zone, which will be
determined by regulation OF public
administration; for the public health.
Forbidden clearing means hne
which may run to more than Sl00 an

The French Government encourages

"Here are two rules, Fred" which

Giles to his younger brother one day.

thing you can't help"

too said the younger brother.
"1t's as good as done. When shall
we begin to put them into practice?"
asked Giles.
"Now or never" answered Fred.
"I think those two rules take wide
and clean sweep. They don't leave
a fellow chance to get vexed at all.
Do they?''
