Conservation.

Atlanta. Ca, October s, (SpeciaD-In
view OF the general interest through the
South in the question of conservation and
especially and especially on account of the
assembling of the Southern Conservation
Congress in this city today, the opinion OF
President W.. W. Finley of the Southern
Railway Company on this subject as eX-
pressed in an address on THE Interest of
the Railways Of the South in Conserva-
tion," delivered at the Second National
Conservation Congress held in st. Paul,
Mimi, September I, will doubtless be read
with unusual interest.
Laying down the broad principle that
the interest Of the railway of the South
in conservation are identical, Mr.. Finley
defined the type Of conversation most
needed in the South as mot the narrow
idea OF the withdrawal from the present
use OF some part Of these resources but
the wise use Of these resources" Taking
soil conservation as one of the most vital
questions before the Southern people to-
day, Mr.. Finley gave figures from eX-
periments conducted by the American and
foreign governments, showing that where
proper methods are used productivity OF
soil increases with its use, and in this con-
nection Mr.. Finley urged more attention
on the part OF the people of the South to
crop rotation, proper fertilization, and
live stock raising as the surest means to
accomplish this much desired result.
Recognizing that forest and stream
conservation are interdepeneent, Mr.. Fin
Icy said that too much should not be eX-
pected Of the national government, and
suggested the ~advisability Of changes in
the tax laws by state legislatures looking
to a tax system that would diferentiate
between timber lands so managed as to
insure the perpetuation of a great natural
resource and those so managed as to
hasten its exhaustion.
CAS- respects timber and all other re-
sources" said Mr.. Finley, II am convinced
that the type of conservation that should
be adopted in the South is not the with
drawal of these %source from use, but
the elimination Of waste as far as possible,
and their wise use as the basis OF a diver
sified industrial development that will
carry them through all the processes OF
manufacture and prepare them for the
final consumer"

Letter from j. S. Norwood to j. H.
McDiiI.

Dear Mack
I sent you a postal as l
waB leaving to let you know that l was on
my way tOtln far west. Well here l am
and | bcliev in the liuost county on earth,
i'm the first place the climate is ideal, the
the county perfectly beautiful, the lands
the best on earth, this is IL town OF 10000
people, have been here just one week and
have decided that | will stay here, root
hog or die, as yet, l have not decided what
] will do l have been over the valley from
iii end to the other. | never saw such
fruit, and | never dreamed it was grown
in such profusion, there arc orchards in
full bearing 10 X II Yeas old that produce
a thousand dollars per acre, this sounds
big but still it is true. Fruits begin to bear
In the 5th and 9th years and from that on
they improve with age, | went to see a
tree Of pears yesterday that is tifty-twO
years old and the owner tod me that he
gathered and sold from this tree this year
1925, and had gathered rs high as S2l0
from Il single picking. OF course this tree
is al exception. Some OF the orchards
here have sold as high as two Thousand
dollars per acre this year, but these are of
course the prize orchards. | have seen so
many prosrectivcs that | am puzzled to
know what to do. They range in prices
from $3.50 to Il so per acre, but il you cOulI
Sti N, llltll ' u I N'Nll HUI Dt sui III lStN DIT
the price. Sell out and come here this is
TN" greatest country on earth, Millionaire
are moving III here every few weeks ami
the people are, or seem to be- Of II very
good class, and all prosperous. There are
over four hundred automobiles in the town
and county Just as many III the county
IL in town. The improvements in this place
are beyond conception. Every thing is on
Il boom and if | Just had Il little more
money | believe | could make Il fortune, in
real estate people have done 50 in the last
two years. | have not heard of IL death
except one man who WIS killed soon after
my arrival. so YOU could not do much in
your line, but there are others, | will go
into the fruit business | suppose. The only
difficulty is the price of land and the time
it takes to grow to maturity, but when it
does begin to bear, it is n fortune.
If you can get Il fair price for yOur pro-
perry sell ont and come. y0u will never re-
gret it would not leave il, | would rather
he here than ~ back.
You know that am II frctty good Judge
Of land and | tell you that never siIW any
thing like the lands here.
The fruits of this valley are known the
world over and 50 far the demand cannut
be filled. Let ne hear from you. Kind r.
CARDS to Mrs. MrDill and family.
Love. for yourself.

BACK TO NATURE
WITH A VENGEANCE

1t is reported on good authority that
there is a company of Eugene's PROM
inent ladies who are spending the
summer vacation in a somewhat Sc
cluded place, where they are putting
into practice their back to nature"
fad for health's sake with a veng-
eance They have not worn their
shoes or stockings since they first
struck their rendezvous and their feet
have become so calloused and scaly
that they now tramp it barefooted all
around camp without flinching for
sharp stones and ordinary uriers. One
of the ladies carried barrels of sand
from a bank in a sack on her shoul-
ders and completely covered the floor
of their domicile and the nearby
ground so as to make 1t easy on their
feet. They are getting their health.
however, and as as tough and wiry
as they were in their girlhood days,
and their feet will be free from corns
and bunions for the next year and
their health better for it. While II
may not seem just the thing among
the ladies, we have no doubt 1t would
do much to restore health If 1t were
practised more generally.-Eugene

Big Operations on Seward Peninsula,
Alaska, are After Rich Prize.

Placer mining on Seward Peninsu-
la will receive an impetus this year
by the installation of a number of
new dredges. There is an abundance
of gold in Seward Peninsula. The
serious question has been how to mine
it at profit. Most of the placer gold
in this part of Alaska is in what is
known as unconcentrated gravel
There ase vast gravel deposits in the
various parts Of the peninsula. All
of them are auriferous. The placer
gold deposits of Seward Peninsula
have been variously estimated from
$3.50. 100000 to $500, 900, 900. About
s55, 100000 has been mined and the
larger part of this has been taken
from concentrated placers. Some of
them are unusually rich, but the
greater part of the placer gold is in
| low-grade gravels. which must be
mined by dredging.-Alaska- Yukon
! Magazine.
