To Interest the Legislatures.

As many of the legislatures will not
adjourn until after the presidential in
auguration. it is hoped that one or more
of them may be induced to make an ap-
preparation for a state building here
shortly after the conference is held.
Both Chairman Clayton of the fed
GRAFTON and Chairman Williams of the
state societies organization are enthu-
siastic over the encouraging responses
that have been received from the gov
ernors. They believe that the confer
ence Is assured of success and that the
day of state buildings in Washington is
not far distant.

FOREST CONSERVATION
MORE NEEDED THAN EVER
Opinion of Charles L. Peck Based on
Severance of Relations
With Germany.

Conservation of forests is more need

lowing severance of diplomatic rela-
Lathrop Pack, president of the Ameri-
can Forestry Association. The associa :
ton is waging relentless war against
the white pine blister disease.
In statement just issued Mr.. Pack
says, in part:
In Germany we have the example of
country about the size of Texas wag-
Ing a world war and in doing it living
her scientists have shown the world the
economic value of her forests in the
scientific treatment of which Germany
leads the nations. Cut off from the cot
ton supply Of the world. Germany is
making her nitro-cellulose needed in
making smoklesS powder from wood
according to information now in hand.
Total of $500, 100000 Lost Yearly.
Figures OF the Department of Agri-
culture show the staggering amount of
s7o0,000,o00 is lost every year because
of insect and disease pests in our trees
and plants. That means 81 every year
for every man, woman and child. Think
what that means, not only in figuring
the high cost of living, but in case OF
war with the consequent drain upon
the country's resources.
Their set over against these figures
the fact Germany has been prepa rin s;
for war and that an. important part OF
that preparation was conservation OF
forests. For years Germany has not
only compelled replanting. but she has
made IL profitable. therefore her for
ests are better able to meet the call
upon them now than forty years go.
Ingenuity of Germany.
1.-THE ingenuity OF Germany has
taught her how TO make . satisfactory
absorbent from wood fiber to take the
place Of cotton. Nowadays cordage
rope, burlap and rugs are made from
wood. A heavy percentage of the
clothes the reader is wearing right now
is made from wood fiber. What are We
going to do with our forests in view
of these facts? We have the chestnut
blight out that wonderful tree in the
east But the people would not take
seen the boil weevil cost the country
millions OF dollars. but when discovered
the people thought II = Joke.
IF great tests of war come TO us it
will be as vital to us to hav., natural
resources as to have men and NUM-
lions"
