up it's mind to take charge of some
OF the forests, not one per cent of
the forest area in this country er-
ceived any attention for reforesta,
ton. II private ownership of forests
had continued undisturbed, the time
when not stick of timber could be
obtainable in these United States
could have been calculated to an
exact date not far away. Today the
science Of forestry is practiced in
seventy per cent Of national forest
area as against one per cent in the
privately-owned sections. Reforesta-
ton as practiced by the government
insures a perpetual supply Of wood
and lumber to the people. Forestry
means doubling the growth of the
trees in any given time; it means
protecting the small growth of tim.
Der when logging goes on; it means
utilization Of all the available tim.
Der instead of selecting the choice
trees and leaving defective ones to
rot in the woods; 1t means greater
economy in the sawmills so that in
stead of getting 800 feet out of 1000
feet Of lumber that comes out of
the woods. the utilized part shall at
least rise to eighty per cent of what
entered the mill.

kept by a parish worthy, Mrs. Collyer.
One Sunday afternoon, when the weather
was warm and the sermon long, the
clerk slept and dreamed. He imagined
