a few minutes TO destroy a tree that
has stood for centuries, but it re-
Iquires many years to bring a tree to
such dimensions as will make it
merchantable timber.
People did not know anything about
scientific forestry in the earlier days
when Minnesota was squanderng her
timber wealth. Had they known as
much about it as is known today
they would have applied its rules
and principles in the cutting of their
timber and would have conserved the
pine supply. Failing in this the great
forests have disappeared and in their
place is the wreck that the saw
mills have wrought and the desola-
ton that the forest fires have left
behind.
There is a lesson in this expert
ence of two Minnesota counties for
other localities where the timber sup
ply is still abundant or at least. has
not been wasted altogether, comments
the Louisville Courier-Journal. There
are many substitutes for timber, but
timber will be needed as long as the
world stands. And because of their
beauty and utilitv the traec will he

PLENTY FARM LABOR
HERE SAY PLANTERS

Clarksdale, Miss. March 20.-Re-
ports from all sections of the state in
dictate that there is sufficient farm
labor to carry on all the farming OPP
erations needed at this time of the
year. Planters in this section are
well supplied and reports from the
other sections of the state denote
more farm laborers ready for work
than at any time in recent years. The
increased number of farm hands is
attributed to the fact that the lumber
industry and other manufacturing con-
Germs which have employed these men
have either shut down or have cut
their forces down.
The farming operations are pro-
ceeding on large scale owing to the
pretty weather of the past few days.
Much blowing has been done and corn
will be planted during the remainder
of the month at a rapid pace. One
of the best signs of increasing pros
perity and efficiency on the farm is
the abundance of modern farming ma
chinery seen on the outlying planta-
lions.
