PLANT MORE TREES

Those who study the question
Of forestry all know that the sys.
tenn employed in Germany to
protect the Black Forest works
admirably and great fires there
are unknown, although the woods
have stood for centuries. A re.
cent dispatch from Vermont out.
lines a scheme that might well be
adopted by every state which
has the land to spare. The plan
is thus described:
A novel experiment in Ameri-
can forestry is to be tried BY the
state of Vermont. She is going
to coax or make all her farmers
on the waste lands and deforested
tracts buy from her at cost price
at least 800 young trees apiece
for planting. The state has es-
tablished q tree nursery and has
also imported from Germany
than100, 900 saplings, mostly
white pine, suitable for building
purposes.
An investigation by A. F.
Hawes, who took Office on April
1st as Vermont's first state for.
ester, shows that more than.
1900, 900 feet of the finest timber
has been cut from the forests
of the state since 1880. This
was practically all heavy growth,
the lumbermen paying no atten.
ton to theannual growth, though
they could have used them as
well as not.
Vermont officials are alarmed
by this tremendous destruction
of the best forest lands In the
state, and an agitation is to be
started in favor of tree planting.

Help IMPROVE YOUR Town

Where is the greatest activity
in village improvement foundG
sit il towns where the minds Of
the people are sluggish, where 9
"don't care" policy prevails,
where much illiteracy abounds !?
Never. Shiftless habits, lack Of
pride, indifference to appear
ances-these are characteristics
Of dead towns and dead citizens.
Wherever you find well.cared. for
property, decent lights, good
pavements and streets, clean
paint and a live town feeling
there you will discover a people
who have a purpose in life beyond
a mere existence. They think.
Their brains are activef their
minds alert, and realizing that
their town is their home-their
abiding place their first thoughts
are for its welfare. A town is
only q collection of separate
dwellings, and single places Of
business; a congregation Of indi-
.Viduals living Within certain
boundaries. But it is character
lied as good, beautiful, substan-
tial, orderly, thrifty, progressive
or poor, unattractive and behind
the times, according to average
only, A few well-cared-for
houses, few modern standard
places of business, a few citizens
with progressive ideas, a few
people with local pride cannot
alone maintain standard for a
community. Their ideas, their
conduct, their mode Of doing
things, their loyalty, go into the
common lot. But the majority,
the grand total Of good, bad and
Indifferent counts. 1t fixes the
average.
How important it is, then, for
every citizen to "hold his end
up" for the common veal. How
easy it is for each resident of a
CON nmunity to do his share in
producing a fair result. If he
simply cares for what is his; if he
takes pride in the appearance Of
his own property; if he obliges
his business patrons; if he is
kindly disposed toward his home
people, and has a feeling of real
solicitude for the good appear
ance, the good name, the good
standing of his town, he is doing
his part. He is beneftting him
self, he is encouraging others,
and he is helping TO raise the
average of the whole place. What
a combination Of such efforts
would accomplish it is needless
to suggest.
