be observed throughout the empire and
that every peasant shall be compelled
to plant every year AZ least five young

enemies TO woods and forests in Asia Minor
They have eaten up practically all the
green stun on the Anatolian highlands.
The more fourishins the goat breeding
the less woodland This is particularly
patent in the vilayet OF AnRora where
thousands OF acres have been turned into
a desert by these voracious animals.
But human beings are scarcely less
destructive. Lumber prices have risen
enormously OF late. and along the Anatoian
Railroad all the forests have disappeared
Wood IL also extensively used for fuel and

The newspapers have busted themselves
