That the wise management Of the

as a necessity in the development Of
the South is strongly brought out in
his recent address to the student
body Of the University of Georgia.
SIN my opinion. said President
Finley, s.the economic Importance Of
the management Of our Southern
forests SO as to secure from them
the largest present profit consistent
with their preservation can not be
overestimated. In addition to their
influence upon stream flow. tending
to diminish the destructiyeness OF
floods and to maintain higher water
for navigation and for the genera
ton of power in dry seasons, they
form the foundation OF our wood
working industries.
"until comparatively recent years

mated in furniture manufacturing

tries. Timber supplies in that
section have been almost es-
hausted and these industries are fol-

CHANGE OF ApDREss-When
Rusiness condltions Improve.

Henry Clews's weekly letter con-
tains a resume OF the present fbust-
ness conditions of the country, which
shows splendid improvement and he
IS quite optimistic. The following
paragraph from the letter shows the
general tendency OF commercial and
Industrial operations and imparts
the gratifying Information that the
number OF failures for the month Of
April this year is reduced nearly one
fourth and the volume OF liabilities
for the same month has decreased
one-ffth in amount compared with
the same period last year:
The industrial. and commercial
outlook continues satisfactory. In
the steel trade activity has been
especially noticeable, April proving
a banner month for the receipt oil
orders. Building operations are par
ticularly active in all the large
cities. and this factor in connection
with demands from the railroads
for structural material constitutes
the chief reason for improvement in
iron and steel. Our railroads, II
must be remembered. have been pur.
suing policy OF rigid economy ever
since the panic; and, now that earn,
ings are improving and the money
market is easy. conditions favor moi
only the making of repairs which
have been delayed, but also the car
rylng out of various improvements
and extensions which had previously
been deferred. In all probability
the railroads will be large buyers Of
materials for some time to come
which will certainly be an important
element In business recovery. Bani
