AMERICA THROWS
BILLIONS TO WIND
Tremendous Annual Waste OF
All Kinds by Profligate
United States
Timber, Coal, Iron and Soil Lost
Each Year Mounts TO an
Appalling. Sum

The United States has always been
considered an extravagant nation, and
it's career has resembled that of a
profiigate spending recklessly and
thoughtlessly the wealth he has not
earned.
Fate has cast our lot amid vast
storehouse of natural wealth. and. like
Brewster. we haye felt under the OBJ
ligation of spending our millions fool
ishly. We are still doing so, though
our dwindling natural resources have
brought about a realization of our
recklessness. Other nations have gone
through the same experience. sowing
the wild oats of wastefulness and then
settled down into frugal and conserva-
tive husbandmen, and 1t shows the
good sense of the American people that
they are learning to ccOnomize before
1t is entirely too late.
But though a good start has been
made, we are now only in the primer
of economy, as a few statistics will
show. For instance, the United States
annually cuts timber at the rate of
500 feet board measure for every man,
woman and child. while in Europe they
use only 60 feeH board measure, and
get along just as we'll.
Moreover, although we are using
more than eight times as much timber
per year as foreign countries, yet our
forests are renewing themselves to
only about 25 per cent of what they
are capable of doing If rightly man
aged Nor is this the whole story of
our extravaganza. for of the timber cut
only about one-half is actually put to
use, the remainder being a dead loss.
How about our coal? During our
national existence we have used over
seven and one-half billion tons OF coal
and wasted nine billion tons. Under
our present system or mining, one-half
of the coal is left in the mine and
wasted, and of all the coal burned in
the power plants of the country not
more than from to 10 per cent of
potential energy is actually used, the
balance being lost through lack Of
proper means of combustion. In direct
heating the loss is less, but in electric
heating and lighting it is much more,
being about one-fifth of per cent
Our reckless waste extends also to
natural gas. for DIR. l. c. White state
geologist of West Virginia, estimates
that our loss of this valuable COM
modify amounts to not less than ,OO0,-
100000 cubic feet per day.
1t is but following the intentions of
nature for US to demand tribute from
the soil, but in this we have not been
content to receive just contribution
to our well being, but have. in the
very dissipation of our timber supply,
likewise brought destruction upon mil
lions of acres of fertile soil
Mr.. Hill is also authority for the
statement that because of the denu-
dation of our watersheds in the east
and south we lose every year 1000, 000,-

surfaces of the farms and carried into

Uncle Sam is now planning a world

help itself, the government is not
going to let a single opportunity pass

Farsighted plans for both forest and

operative agreement just made between
the forest service and the bureau of

agriculture, looking toward the intro

full forest trees and forage plants.
/ In the bureau of plant industry
number of agricultural explorers are
employed, whose business it is to travel
all over the world. especially in little
known regions, and to search for va
rieties of trees, shrubs and plants the
introduction of which into this country
would be beneficial.
There are considerable areas of non
agricultural land in the national for
ests which are at present destitute of
tree growth, but which are unquestion-
ably better adapted to the production
of timber than to any other purpose.
If foreign species can be found which
will be better adapted for the refor-
estation of these areas than are our
native species. the benefits will be in
calculable. In the same way the need
Of suitable forage plants for the re-
vegetation OF our overgrazed ranges
is very great 1t is the intention of
the forest service to conduct careful
experiments with sucn species found
by the agricultural explorers as are
deemed likely to be adapted to our
conditions.
The United States is well supplied
with indigenous tree species, theBe be-
ing over 400 species compared with
less than 100 in Europe, but in spite
Of this fact there are still some trees
in other parts of the world whose in
PRODUCTION may prove of benefit to this

The example of the eucalyptus in
southern California is a case in point.
There a most valuable hardwood spe-
cies was successfully introduced and
since 1t is a region where hardwoods
are exceedingly scarce it is the more

There are also other notable cases of

Obituary of George Casner

George Casner was born in Canada
Feb. ), 1887, being the youngest son of
nine children born To John and Katie
w. Casner. He removed with his par
ents to the old homestead in west
Grattan in the '40's and was united in
marriage to Miss Lydia Howard, JAN
/, 1872, they in due time settling on
their farm in north Grattan, where Mr..
Casner departed this life Sept s, 1909,
aged ~ years, months, 3 days, sur
vived by his most faithful wife, who
has SO tenderly cared for him since his
health failed a number of years ago, and
especially much of the past year, re-
/ fusing To leave his bedside, even when
! lately she was herself suffering from
illness.
/ One brother, Jerry Casner, also one
sister, Jane Casner, are the only MEM
bers now left of this large family.
While Mr.. Casner never made public
profession, his word has ever been as
good as bond, he leading a pure, up
right life, and as friend was true
friend indeed.
A short time before the summons
came, Mr. Casner, realizing that death
was near, consented TO accept the great
power of our risen Lord and Master to
forgive all mankind-our Savior, able
TO save TO the uttermost all who come
unto Him, and while Mr.. Casner was
ever patient in his long illness, those
in constant attendance saw the change.
While the wasted mortal part dis
solved, we firmly believe the glorious
light of the near heavenly home broke
on the happy immortal soul, leaving
its tenement of great physical weakness
growing strong in its dissolution and
new born faith.
"There's land where all are blest,
Where redeemed ones are at rest
There we'll sing our Savior's praise
In transcendent joyful lays,
Throughout ceaseless heavenly days
Land of loye-over there.
"With the ransomed gone before,
Gathered on the golden shore,
We will sit at Jesus feet
And loves tribute oft repeat;
There our rest will be complete
Land of love-over there"
