How The N0.Fence Law Will Help

One OF our exchanges gives MS a
reason for opposing the no-ience law
that "while other countries that
have adopted the no.tence policy put
scarcely no beef and pork on the
market Brunswick County vet has
her herds Of cattle, her Aocks of
sheep, and every year sells wool,
pork and beef in increasing values. -
Perhaps The adoption of a no.
fence law means, in most cases, a
temporary decrease in the amount
of live stock kept; but it is well to
remember, on the other haud, that
in the sections where the most and
the best live stock is raised no one
would ever dream of turning his
animals out in the highways tohunt
their own living. 1t is literal inn
possibility to raise good stock when
under free range conditions.
The plea of our exchange for a
better grade of live stock will neces-
sariy be fruitless so long as all
stock are permitted to run at large.
Good animals cannot be expected
from scrub bulls and razor.back
boars. Then there is the cattle-tick,
and it is there to remain while the
free range remains, These condi-
tions may do for folks who are con-
tent to raise a few surplus hogs and
cattle of poor quality; but if the peo-
pie OF any county expect ever to
have a live stock industry worthy
Of the name, they may just as well
realize that two of the first steps
must be to stop the perpetuation of
their kind by scrub sires, and to
eradiate the cattle tick. To do
either, the no-ience law is necessary,

Fire In North Arkansas.

The terrible forest fire disasters
which have recently occurred il
Michigan and neighboring state,
and which took the life of several
hundred people and destroyed thous.
ands of dollars worth of improved
property and standing timber, call
attention to our own situation.
Annual woods burning, which has
been a custom among the settlers OF
late years in misguided attempts to
improve range conditions and erad-
late the cattle tick, has become a
true evil, the effect of which only
years can efface. Now that coal
supplies are beginning to show that
they are not inexhaustable and
manufacturers are turning their at
tention to water power, we realize
the mistake which has been made
in destroying the forest floor by fire
upon which regularity Of stream
flow is absolutely dependent. The
force of this is realized whenever a
heavy rain occurs in this territory
because of the sudden uncomfortable
rising of the streams and the re-
actorv subsistence much below the
normal flow.
In many instances streams be-
come perfectly dry where rainfall is
lacking, exemplihed by dry Jordan,
instead of maintaining an even flow
throughout the year rs the result OF
being gradually fed from cherished
springs and the moisture stored in
an absorbent forest floor. In the
present state of affairs the bare soil
of the hillsides allows the rain TO es-
cape as rapidly as it falls
1t is sad that those " selt-renewing
mines of coal as Clifford Plnchot
terms water power, which we have
in our hills are not in a perfect con-
dition, which, even in their present
state, represent an incXhaustible
supply ofpower.
There are, at conservative esti-
mate, over thirty million horse pow
err in the rivers of our nation, now
commercially available, of which
three quarters annually pounds it.
self into uselessness, If this waste
Of energy were evidenced by concen-
trated fire and smoke, instead OF
spay, it would appal our patriotic
sentiment" "
As part Of its purpose in sup
pressing and preventing forest fires

serve and increase the water power
