Maryland will establish a state
forest nursery, which will offer for
sale at cost price and much lower
than private nurseries, trees for
planting IN any part of the state.
There is a demand for trees to be
planted on land that is not good
enough for farming and in sec
tions where large acreage can be
bought up for low prices. The
constant increase in the price OF
timber is awakening land owners
to the possibility of tree growing.
Pennsylvania is leading all other
states in tree planting and last
year nearly 100000 young trees
were set out in her forest reserves.
aud the enterprise has met with
80 much encouragement that it is
contemplated planting still
larger numbe of trees during 1913.
1t will not be many years before
every state in the Union will take
up the question of reforestation.

To investigate, establish and teach
the essential, important, and practical
facts relating to the best and most
wholesome methods for producing,

and to bring the consuming public
with all lines of trade into coopera-

Of animals according to their capacity

The very extensive experiment in

struck up Dixie" he rose and, with
old-time gestures and in voice trem-
ulous with age, sang the song.
Throughout the South he was the OBJ
ject of ovation after ovation. He was
grateful, but he also was amused, for
he could not help thinking of the
humble origin of his song and how
far it had gotten away from its orig
inal purpose and his own sentiments
when it became war song.
However, he enjoyed the tour, but
was content to go back to Mount
Vernon, Ohio, where he remained un-
til his DEATH There his little hut, a
garden patch and some chickens af-
forded him a sparse livelihood. Short
ly before his death The Actors Fund
of America, when informed of his
whereabouts, granted him a small pit
tance. He sometimes received paltry
sums with requests for his autograph
or ma luscr;rt copies of Dixie" One
of the most touching examples of his
obscu1ity is that not even his towns
people were aware that he was the
composer of the much loved Dixie"
that has been and is destined to be
enjoyed f generations to come from
one end of the country to the other.
That Emmett was deeply religious is
evidenced by the fact that he could
often be seen sitting outside his door
reading the Bible This assertion is
strengthened by the further fact that
he left among his many manuscripts
a set of prayers, of which he is the
apparent author. He was endowed
with rare spirit of resignation and
Indifference 10 all that is material in
life. And now that he has left us, his
fellow countrymen, who were content
to have him live il poverty and OBJ
scurity in the little cottage at Mount
Vernon, are desirous of paying his
memory he debt of reverence and
gratitude! The most consoling feat
ure of this is that he little cared, but
thanked God daily for "this frugal
meal and all other meals Thou has
permitted me to enjoy during my past
existence"

"Dixie," the Song of the Southland
Continued from page II.)

(COHtWhed from page H.
Now here's health to de next ole
missus,
An all the gals dat want to kiss US;
Look away! look away! look away!
Dixie Land!
But if you want to drive way sorrow,
Come and hear dis song tomorrow;
Look away! look away! look away!
Dixie Land!
Dar's buckwheat cakes an Injin batter,
Makes you fat or a little fatter;
Look away look away! look away!
Dixie Land!
Den hoe it down an scratch your

To Dixie's Land I'm bound to trabble;
Look away! look away! look away!

Mrs. Emmet had suggested plain
Dixie" as a title for the song, and
her husband had adopted it. But
when the song was published in 1860,
it was called, 81 wish l was in Dixie
Land,"-a line which does not occur
Iii it. Afterwards it was published as
Dixie Land"-but to the public it
simply is Dixie" which shows that
when Ms. Emmett suggested that
one word for a title, she knew what
she was about. Emmett himself
stated that he had received five hun
died dollars for the copyright of
Dixie" and that what he had received
for all his other songs put together
(Which, it should be remembered, in
ciuded his popular Dan Tucker")
would be fairly represented by one
hundred dollars; so that during life
time of eighty-nine years his receipts
as popular song composer amount
t. six hundred dollars-and obscurity
in a little Western town!
When he was eighty years old he
at last had a taste of what it is to be
fsmous-and one season of it was
enough for him. He went out with a
minstrel troupe in the supposed role
of venerable hgurehead. But when
at the first performance the orchestra
The Bourbon news., 1913-12-16

put anything on tie stage that might
give offense in any way, and Mrs.
Bryant, who was a. the rehearsal, was
afraid that the hrsi verse might offend
people with pronounced religious scru-
piles, though she told Emmett, diplo-
matically, that they were "very nice" in
other respects He included them in
some of his manuscript copies of the
song, but the version generally known
begins with the familiar

The stanzas which followed under

But when he put his arm around her,
He smiled as fierce as forty-pounder;
