Its cut of lumber aggregates some 2l
billion feet year. or over half of that
used in the entire nation. Other in
dustries bring the value of the prod
ucts of the forests today to upwards
Of $50 million dollars.
Louisiana stands second only to
the state of Washington in the pro-
duction of lumber, while Mississippi
North Carolina Arkansas, Virginia
and Texas are all ahead of any other
state. The lumber industry of the
south employs some 2170OO persons,
and the allied industries require over
100000 more. We are dealing with
a problem of gigantic proportions and
one which touches the welfare of the
entire nation.
at is of vital Importance to the
south that the land suitable to agri-
culture be devoted to that purpose
and Just as rapidly as possible be ac-
tually used for the growing of crops.
There is, however, a vast arear of
land, some of it in great blocks in the
mountains and elsewhere, and some in
small patches within the agricultural
areas. which is suited only to the
growth of trees. Many persons point
to great floods like those we are now
having and insist that forests have
nothing whatever to do with the con
troll of water. This is as absurd as
would be statement that forests alb
solutely prevent large floods. They
are, however, only one factor and may
be entirely overbalanced by other fac
tors like long-continued rainfall or
sudden thawing of snow in the noun
tains. The Geological Survey is de-
veloping some very important and in
teresting facts regarding the influence
of forests on erosion in the south.
Our problem touches the method

LAUNCH HOME RULE BILL.

London, April 11.-Home rule for
Ireland, for which the Nationalists of
the Emerald Isle have fought for
many decades, is provided for in a
government measure introduced today
in the House of Commons. Premier
Asquith and members of his cabinet
have been in charge of the bill, and
the Irish leaders, Redmond, O'Conner
and Dillon, are highly pleased with the
results. John Redmond declares that
barring unforeseen events the meas
ure probably will be passed through
Parliament by the beginning of Sep
TENDER,
Following the example of Gladstone,
Prime Minister Asquith personally in
troduced the measure to restore ma
tional self-government to the people
Of Ireland. The bill states that its
purpose is to establish an Irish paria-
ment, consisting of a house of COM
mons and a senate, with legislative
authority over the entire range of af
fairs that are purely Irish. The meas
ure further provides that the Protes-
tant minority in the north of Ireland
is to be safeguarded against religious
intolerance, and that religious free
dom must be maintained.

that the second is untrue is we'll known. He
