Offers to Re-Forest Cut-Over Pine
Lands.

Henry e. Hardtner, Urania, La,
formerly president of the Louisiana
Conservation Commission, and promi-
nently mentioned as chief forester of
the United States in the event of a
Democratic victory this fall, has
made a proposition to the new Lou
isiana Conservation Commission to
reforest 100000 acres Of his eut-oyer
lands and to care for the young pine
trees at his own expense, says the
Picayune.
Mr.. Hardtner, who is an enthusi-
asst on the subject of conservation, be
lieyes that by making this offer,
other lumber manufacturers, will be
led to take advantage of existing
laws in Louisiana and reforest those
parts Of their land which are not suit
able for agricultural purposes.
Mr.. Hardtner's proposition is the
first one e. a similar nature made
United States. His letter to the con-
seryation commission is as. follows:
Referring to section IS of Act No.
269 of 1910, = wish to
contract with your commission (Which
is specially authorized by the general
assembly of 1912 to carry into effect
the provisions of Act No 269) to SUI
peryise the planting and growing up
on 100000 acres of land which is
chiefly valuable for timber culture
suitable and useful rees in such
manner as you shall prescribe.
These lands are we'll situated in
the hills of Lasalle, Caldwell and
VIM parishes, in practically solid
body, and are in my opinion chiefly
valuable for forest culture. They
would also serve as an ideal game
and fish preserve.
Il would be pleased to confer with
your honorable commission at an
early date and submit plant and de-
scription of lands and dedicate said
lands as the first private forest re-
serve created in this state. z

How Vaccination PAYS.

The economy OF vaccination in the
control of smallpox is illustrated by
the experience of two cities in Mich
igan during the past year. One
spent approximately $4,000 in com
batting an epidemic Of that disease
with a mortality of forty-efght; the
other spent $2693.s9 for vaccination
and not case of smallpox developed
I'll Louisiana, in sections, there is
opposition to vaccination. Parents
refuse obedience to the law that
every child must be Vaeclnatea be
fore entering school.
1t happens il the very places
where smallpox Is likely to spread
that this spirit exists. Such AMI
d: asity is not conducive to the wei
fare or the child or the community
