SOU HERN VOTES
MAY DEFEAT BILL
Plan to Protect Forests Likelyto
Fail Because of Indifference
in This Section.

There would be greater chance of
securing n government appropriation
for the preservation OF our forests IL
Southern members OF Congress would
not oppose It," said Mr.. j. II. Finney.
secretary of the Appalachian National
Forest Association. yesterday. He
stopped over here on his way to his
home in Atlanta, after appearing be-
fore the Judiciary Committee OF the
House OF Representatives In Washing
tn on Thursday.
The bill provides for 100000 he,
said. 1.-The greater part OF which is set
aside for the South. The Appalachian
range extends from Alabama to Mary
land. and takes in much territory in
Virginia.
New England representatives are
not Directing, but our own member
are showing a marked spirit of in
difference
Rainfall Damage Heavy.
Throughout the Appalachian range
the annual rainfall Is 10 per cent.
Without the forests, which absorb the
water and send It out gradually, the
river lands would be constantly oyer
for cultivation.
Mr.. Finney explained that the OBJ
ject OF the movement Is not to secure
and tie up Thousands OF acres of timber
lands. but to protect them by scientific
methods. The 100000 acres include
tracts lying along the higher slopes
of the mountains which are totally
unfit for agricultural purposes.
