Neglect of Yellow Pine Forests in the
South.

In many parts Of the country the
most progressive men of the lumber
industry have felt the greatest nee
essity Of adopting better methods OF
protecting their timber holdings from
fire but in some places there still re-
mains much to be done. This is par
ticularly true through part Of the
great yellow pine belt Of the South
upon which the naval stores industry
of the world is largely dependent. A
timber owner of Florida, in writing
to the forest service at Washington,
talks Of the matter as follows:
"Speaking Of fire protection:
There is absolutely nothing being
done. The turpentine people. to pro-
tect their turpentine timber, rake
around the trees during early winter,
and then burn the woods. This is
done to keep off the forest fires Of
early spring. These fires are sup
posed to be set by the cattle inter-
ests, for the purpose Of burning off
the dry grass, so that the young grass
will come up, on which the cattle
feed. In doing this, they destroy
millions of young pines that have just
started to grow and are too small and
tender to stand the heat Of the fire.
eff these fires could be stopped, it
would solve the problem Of re-forest-
ing, as far as Florida is concerned.
T have thought for a long time that
a no fence law would 60 far toward
stopping the burning Of the woods.
As it is now, there is no regulation.
"What I mean to say is, that if
YOU own a small piece Of land, say 40
acres. and had 10000 head of cattle,
YOU are at liberty to- craze your cattle
on my 10000 acres of land, or on my
neighbor's 10000 acres of land, and
we cannot help ourselves. If we
would catch you firing the woods and
had a witness to prove it, we could
prosecute you, but this is Ecrd to do.
If we had a no fence law, you as a
cattle owner, would be compelled to
keep your cattle in an enclosure,
which would remove the temptation
of burning the woods of your
neighbors, besides being cf infinite
benefit to poor people in starting lit
tie farms. In many instances the
fencing Of the land is by all odds
the largest item Of expense in start
inc a small farm, and often puts it
beyond the reach Of poor men who
might otherwise make a little start
toward farming.
"The burning of the grass not only
kills millions Of small pine trees but
it impoverishes the soil and exposes
the ground to the heat Of the sun,
thereby retarding the growth of not
only small pine trees but the large
ones as we'll. The thing that is nee
essary to make the trees healthy and
! vigorous goes up in smoke every year.

When the sad news spread through
the town during the hours of last

on the entire conhmunity. The spirit
which everywhefe prevailed was an
impressive test mony to the respect
and affection ~ which the deceased
was held. In Y se church where she
was won't to wtzship, the feeling was
everywhere mhHlifest. Tears were in
many eyes; eat one throughout the
town seemed tt eel that this was a
personal loss. 1.-The sense of bereave-
ment was not fsnfned to the single
home most ne yly affected but was
evidenced by IT, general sorrow. 1t
was given to tHe deceased to be en-.
shrined in the we of many friends
All through th5lfrears she had gone

binding to elf more and more
with the groWofe years the hearts of
all who knew q
