ARE YOU EDUCATED?

A professor of the University
of Chicago has evolved series
of test questions for the educated
which, he avOws, are the best
evidences of a real education. If
YOU can answer yes" to all the
questions you are truly educated
the professor says. Here are
the questions:
Has education given you sympa-
thy with all the GOOD causes and
made you espouse them?
Has it made YOU public spirited?
Has it made you brother to
the weak
Have you learned how to make
friends and keep them?
Do you know what it is to be a
friend yourself?
Can you look an honest man or
pure woman in the eye?
Do you see anything to love in
little child?
viii a lonely dog follow you in
the street
Can you lie high-minded and
happy in the meanest drudgeries
of life?
Do you think that washing
dishes ard hoeing corn is Just as
COMPATIBLE with high thinking as
plane playing Of goli"
Are you good for anything
yourself
Can you he happy alone?
Can you look out on the world
and see anything bat dollars and
cents
Can you look into d mud-puddle
by the wayside and see a clear
sky?
Can you see anything in the
puddle but mud?

GATHERING TREE SEEDS
Al Infant Industry in Kentucky oeve'-
oped by sts,e Nurseries.

I've experience in growing trees AT
the state nursery has shown very
clearly that in u great many cases II
is not possible TO get tree seeds of the
native species ut the time and in the
condition desired. Kentucky is pecul-
lar in that up to very recently there
has been no agency or Individual in
To- cstcd in the gathering OF tree seed
in It's borders. The demand for the
tree seeds in the state nurseries AT
Louisville and Frankfort has started
in small way new industry in the
"a thpring of tree seeds within the
State Last year considerable por-
ton OF the seed planted was obtained
from Kentucky. Several small boys
had become interested in this line of
work and gathered q considerable
quantity of seed of certain varieties.
II is expected this fall that the bulk
Cf the seed planted in the state nur-
series will be obtained within the
State from native varieties. The gath
ering of tree seed offers an attractive
field for limited number OF individ-
uaIs. particularly bright boys, who are
willing to take the time and trouble
necessary to distinguish tree species.

FOREST TAXATION

One OF the most important factors
In connection with the growing Of
trees for commercial purposes is the
matter of taxation. and this Is a mat
ter which so far as Kentucky is con.
cerned, has had little attention. In
he first place, there is no classified
ton of land within the State for taxa
ton purposes. II is generally ac-
cepted theory among experts in this
matter at the present time that there
is only one fair method of taxation
which may be applied TO land main.
tanned by the owner in forest growth
and that is that there should be a tax
placed on the land which shall be an
annual tax, and another tax placed on
the forest crop when il is harvested.
In no other manner does Ii seem prob
allie that reforestation OF suitable
areas throughout the Stale may be ac-
complished, since In the first place,
on account OF the character OF the in.
yestment the owner OF the land must
be assured before hand just what his
taxes ON the land are to be, and In the
second place the risks attendant upon
the raising OF a forest crop, because
OF the long period of years before it
reaches maturity. make Il essential
that the crop OF forest products shall
