you TO inform me for we arc under

mand proper protection we must

Neglect of Yellow Pine Forests III 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 Il 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 rs follows:
"Speaking of fire protection:
There is absolutely nothing being
done. The turpcntine people. to pro-
tect their turpcntinc 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 rc-forcst-
fo IL, ,.
I have thought for a long time that
Il no fence law would 60 far toward
stopping the burning Of the woods.
AS if is now, there is no regulation.
"What I mean to say is, that if
von own a small piece of land, say 40
acres, and had 10000 head Of cattle,
You arc at liberty to- Craze your cattle
on my 10000 acres Of land, or on my
ncighbor'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 hard to do.
II we had no fence law, You as
cattle owner, would be compelled to
keep your cattle in an enclosure,
which would remove the temptation
OF burning the woods of your
ncighbors, besides being cf infinite
benefit to poor people in starting lit
tie Narms. In many instances the
fencing Of the land is by all odds
the largest item Of expense in start
ing small farm, and often puts it
beyond the reach Of poor men who
might otherwise make little start
toward farming.
"The burning Of the grass not only
kills millions Of small pine trees but
ii impoverishcs 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.

AUDITORIUM

The Shirleys opened their most
ambitious production last night in
"The Light Eternal" It is a
weighty work of the time of En-
peror Diocletian and the persecu-
ton of the early Christians, with
elaborate costuming and spectacu-
lar effects. Miss Shirley plays the
part of Artemia, the emperors
daughter, who loved Christian
but consented to his execution. She
afterwards became converted to his
belief, situation full of opportun
ity for the strongest emotional
work of which the local favorite is
capable. 1t is one of the most ex-
acting and best things she has at
tempted and her work was thor
oughly appreciated last night.
George McQuarrie has another diff
ficult role in the character of the
condemned lover who accepts death
rather than remuneration of his
faith. The lines of the play call
for first class rhetorical rendition
in order to preserve their effective
ness. AS rule the entire COM
pany appears to good advantage in
the cast.

though 1t is admitted that those
Twilighters don't appear to be fast
enough for Aberdeen, they're
youngsters who are willing enough
and shouldn't be howled out at this
stage of the game. Give them
chance.
The best hitting Of the day was
by the Twilighters at that. Aber-
deem got no earned runs. Jack
Mackin blew one out for two sacks.
and If he had been coached proper
ly would not have got out between
second AMI third when he made
donkey of himself. Chandler, short
stop, who is also from the northern
league, slammed out one good for
three sacks. Had runners been on
the bases at those times the story
of the game would have been
changed considerably.

or three men on bases when
