Ice Men Worrying.

The January thaw which IS
very much in evidence this week
is causing much CONSERVATION
among ice men and loggers. The
cold spell of December gave log
oers a solid foundation for roads
and put over twenty inches OF
ice on the lake. Tuesdays ram
softened things up and MADE
necessary the postponement OF
several lice-cutting jobs that
were to have been started this
week. What little snow did COW
err this end of the state IS almost
a minus quantity now. Some
winter!

Farmers Refuse to Sell Horses.

Fairbury, Nebraska, farmers
who have refused to sell their
horses to besent to the European
war deserved credit for practical
humanity. They say they are
too much attached to animals
they have raised to let them go
to far off battlehelds and be killed.
There is practical as well as SEN
timental objection to indiscrimi-
nate selling of American horses
for slaughter in Europe. 1t
might create a shortage OF
mounts in this country embar-
raising to the cavalry and artil-
lery arms of the American army
For this reason military men
are advocating an embargo on
the sale of any more horses.

WILL CONSIDER REPORT
Important Meeting of State
Forestry Board Being Held
at Madison This Week.
Milwaukee News.)

milwaukee News,)
The state board of forestry is
holding a very important meet
mo this week at Madison. The
meeting will be the first session
ofthe board since the report of
the special legislative committee
on the demonstration question
was made public. This report,
as is we'll known, makes some
very important suggestions in
regard to change in policy rel
alive to reforestration in this
state, advising, among other
things, the consolidation of the
forestry board with the state
fish commission and also advis-
ing that the state game war
den's departm ent be included in
the same consolidation.
The board will, at the meeting
unquestionably give due atten-
ton to this report, with particu-
lar reference to another recon-
mendation which provides for
the sale of the lands which are
fit for agricultural purposes in
the state forest reserve. The
sale of the lands it is pro-
posed shall he to actual settlers
and in limited tracts.
lust how State Forester Crit
fifth and President Charles r. Van
Hise of the university, who is
member of the state forestry
board, will take these sugges-
tons from the special legislative
committee it is hard to say.
Both are very strong friends of
the present reforestration policy
and whether they will consider
the report of the special legisla-
tive committee as out of accord
with the policy remains to be
seen.
The general opinion is that the
state forestry commission will
aCCede to the wishes of the spec
ial legislative committee as the
policy which is outlined by that
committee is in accord with the
wishes OF a large number of the
citizens of the state.
There has been a general de-
mand from northern Wisconsin
that the agricultural lands in
the forest reserve be opened for
settlement and by the way it
NAV be said that ut the meeting,
Tuesday there will be presented
to the forestry board a soil sur
vey which shows the character
of the land in the forestry reserve
and indicates which of the lands
in the reserve are suitab bic for
agricultural purposes. This sur
yey has been made under the
direction of the university and
was ordered by the last legisla-
ture.
Conservation of Wisconsin
forestry will be recommended in
the report to the legislature to
be submitted by the legislative
committee.
Iheprincipal recommendations
IN the legislative committees re-
port will be as follows:
Retain the present forestry re-
serve acreage.
Retain intact the large acreage
OF the extreme northern counties.
Sell the $4,000 odd acres
which comprise several small
state forest plots. Use the
money to purchase forestry lands
not available for agricultural
purposes, adjoining the extern
sIye state forests.
Open for settlement purely
agricultural land to actual set
Tiers upon condemnation by a
special and neutral board.
Make these sales subject to
twenty ANIMAL ennal nayments.
