FOREST PROTECTION

One of the very important ques-
tions. which should have our ear
nest and careful attention, is the
timber lot on the small farm that
is the average farm of from fifty
to one hundred acres.
The owner seldom realizes the
importance of his timber lot and
knows little as to its proper care,
SO that it may be constantly i'm
proved and become a source of
possible revenue, instead of soon
being destroyed.
The owners of large timber
tracts are beginning to realize
more clearly the Importance OF
conserving their timber and some
of them now employ experienced
woodmen to patrol their lands, as
a precaution against forest fires,
and direct the cutting of such
timber only that has reached its
prime. and is in the best condi-
ton for the lumber market.
1t is much more important,
however. TO the farmer with his
small timber lot, that he learn
how to best conserve and promote
the growth of his timber and
make it a source of some revenue.
The Southern Railway has been
deeply interested in this subject.
Last year, the work of organizing
a Forestry Club in each of the
counties along the Southern Rail
way in Virginia, was begun by
the Forestry Division of the Unit
ed States Department of Agricul-
ture, cooperating with Mr.. M. V.
Richards of the Land & Indus
trial Department Of the Southern
Railway, who with representa-
tives from the Forestry Division,
held meetings and formed Fores-
try Clubs in several of the Vir-
ginia counties.
This year the work has been
renewed, and an itinerary has
been arranged to visit several
counties during the summer, for
the purpose of organizing clubs
in other counties.
An expert from the Forestry
Bureau, Mr.. Don Carlos Ellis will
deliver lectures on the subject,
illustrated with stereoption views
when a suitable hall can be secur-
ed, and will be accompanied by
representative of the Land & In
dustrial Department of the South
ern Railway.
With the importance of this
subject there should be a large
attendance at these meetings,
which will be not only entertain
ing, but instructive. Other States
in the South are taking a great
interest in this movement. Many
clubs have been formed, which
are now under the direct super
walton of the State Forestry De-
partments, cooperating with the
U. S. Forestry Bureau which
supplies appropriate literature
and frequent lectures before the
various Forestry Clubs.
When possible, the local clubs
will be taken to some timber lot
and a practical demonstration in
forestry will be given. We would
urge our timber owners and all
farmers in the country to attend
this meeting, and organize a
strong club, salacting the very
best and most practical men for
the few offices required.
