IN CONGRESS
NEeRAskAN PROPOSES NEW
FOREST RESERVES PLAN

Washington, May 7.-Advocates of
establishment of great forest reserves
In the eastern third OF the country have
been getting much interested of late
In the bill by Representative Pollard,
of Nebraska, which proposes to estab-
fish forest reserves on an entirely new
basis.
Mr.. Pollard's Measure was regarded
as rather fantastic when first intro
duced. Blu the more it has been in
Vestigated the more 1T has appealed to
the forestry advocates. Forester
Pinchot has been SO far attracted to
it that he has taken some steps to have
I legal investigation made with a view
to determining whether the bill is
likely to stand h constitutional tests;
while other authorities of the depart
nlent OF agriculture are looking into it,
with a view to determining whether
1t may represent olution of the diff
|culties connected with forest reserve
creation in h older parts Of the
country.
Mr.. Pollard proposes to have great
areas of selected lands In the White
and Southern Appalachian mountains
declared forest reserves. to have the
government assume general control Of
the methods of numbering, reforesta-
ton, etc, n to enforce all it's regula-
tons by simply providing that il the
owners OF the lands don't submit to
these regulations, lumber cut from the
lands may not be admitted to interstate
commerce
