REFOREST BARE HlLLSlDES
Companies in Pennsylvania to
Take Action.

Hazelton, Pa.-The scarcity of lum-
Der for mine pillars and other mine
uses has led to the creation of for
estry department by several of the
large mining companies, one Of
which has just reforested Bear Creek
watershed with 5000 white pine and
5000 Norway spruce trees.
Thirty thousand more trees are in
process of cultivation at Hugo, Pa, in
the Panther Greek valley. When tim
Der is ready to cut in the vicinity of
the mines troublesome waits and long
hauls will be eliminated.
More timber in the anthracite region
would stop floods. add to the water

add to its output. Many thousands Of
acres are available about the mines
