Says Eighty-one Million Acres
of Waste Land in u. S.
Could Grow Forests
PROMINENT SPEAKERS
VOICE THEIR OPINIONS
One-fifth of Forest Land in
Country Is Publicly Owned
Today, Says Pack
1By United Press)

New London, N. H., August 25.-
Warming uke business interests, par
tticularly the newspaper publishers,
that there must be action at once for
better IRE protection-$1,O 100000 a
year for guarding forests against the
:S30;OOO,0OO a year fire loss-Charles
Lathrop Pack, president of the Amer
lean Forestry Association, spoke here
't1day at a conference of foresters,
tim berland owners, paper, pulp men
and lum bermen. Pack also urged
two million a year appropriation for
the acquisition of forest land by the
government for the purpose of grow
ing timber to replace our rapidly dis
appearing supplies.
The conference is being conducted
by the Society for the Protection Of
New Hampshire Forests. Some of the
speakers on the day program are
George w. Sisson, Jr., president of
the American Pulp and Paper, asso-
citation; r. S. Kellogg, secretary of
the American News Print Service;
Col. Henry S. Graves, former chief
forester of the U. s.; Elwood Wilson,
forester of the Luxrentide Paper Co.
and Grand Mere, Quebec.
Forests are not only being wiped
out by destructive CONGREGATIONS as
well as by numerous small fires, but
these fires also prevent the natural
reforestation of hundreds of tn Ous-
.ands of acres of cut over lands" said
Pack. "Our direct loss in timber by
these fires is $30,O00,000 a year. AL
together there are 315 100000 acres
of state and private owned forest
lands in the protection of which the
government should cooperate. At
present half of this vast area is Who'll
ly unprotected and protection for the
other half is entirely inadequate, If
these lands are to be kept productive
there must be tremendous expansion
in our present fire protection activi-
ties by the federal government, the
states and private owners. Legisla-
ton authorizing the government to
spend a million dollars annually in
cooperation with the states is immed
lately essential.
"Close estimates show S1,O00,0O0
acres of waste forest land on which
there is no growth of any value. This
area, greater than the combined for
est area of Germany, Denmark, Hol-
land, Belgium, France, Switzerland,
spain and Portugal should be made,
under proper management, to pro-
duce forest trees.
"Our standing timber is now being
cut or destroyed by fire. disease and
insects four times as fast as new tim
Der is being grown. In the case of
saw timber alone, the destruction is
more than times the growth of such
material What this means to the
nation in the way Of higher prices for
forest products is apparent.
adequate fire protection of our
forests will solve Is per cent Of the
difficulties now confronting us in at
tempting to keep our forest lands
productive.
"At present about one fifth of the
forest land of the country is publicly
owned mainly by the federal gov
eminent. This own ership should be
increased to one half Of the timber
growing land of the United States
we'll distributed throughout the p:in-
cipal forest regions

Highway Commission Won't Discon-
tinue Construction, Says Markham.
The state highway commission is
not discoura ging road work this year,
according to a statement sent out to-
day to all county commissioners by
w. C. Markham, secretary of the Kan
Sas highway commission.
There are so many projects Mark
ham writes, requiring extensive cuts
and fills with accompanying culvert
work, that the commission wishes to
state that it will be glad to entertain
propositions from the counties to Sc
cure bids for the earthwork and Gull
verts separate from the surfacing and
let contracts for this work imm ediately
where bids are satisfactory. In many
cases the earth work is of such an ex-
tensive character that good engineer
ing methods require the roads to have
a years traffic before the surface is
constructed.
THE commission has petitions for
federal aid covering twice as many
projects as can be granted with the
funds at hand and therefore must in
sist that the counties which have been
granted federal aid, shall proceed TO
improve the roads at least to the ex-
tent of the earth work and culverts
Counties which have taken all
needed steps in this direction by May
II, 1920, may expect to receive a no.
tice that their appropriation has been
forfeited to other counties"

thing to stop profiteering," Hopkins
said. while l was in Pittsburg a mill
charged a farmer living near Pittsburg
an eXorbitant price for load of cot
ton seed cake. The matter was called
to my attention and the mill, fearing
trouble and publicity, returned SIS to
the farmer
IF the last session of the legisla-
ture had passed the nti-profiteerine
bill that had been drawn by this office
We would have been able to do some
thing with these cases of brazen goug-
ing, but the Kansas Employers associ-
alton was 50 strong and there were
so many members of the legislature
like Frank l.. Martin, of Reno, and
Ben Hegler. of Sedgwick county, that
we were unable to get anywhere with
either the anti profiteering bill or
the municipal fuel yard bill"
Hopkins holds that the people of
Kansas who are suffering at the hands
of the profiteer have the legislature
to blame for all of their suffering.
"As it is now, We can do nothing
but give publicity to the cases called
to our attention except in cases where
there are unlawful combinations in re-
straint of trade" Hopkins says, but
if the law we wanted had been passed
it would have been possible to ferret
out every profiteer, and there is no
doubt in my mind that if we could
have done this We would have been
able to aid in bringing down the cost
of living"

STATE HELPLESS
Hopkins Blames Legislature for
Not Stopping PrOfiteering.
"Failure to Pass Anti-PrOfiteer-
ing Law Cause" He Says.

Atty. Gen. r. J. Hopkins INDUCED
in some uncomplimentary remarks
about the last special session of the
legislature today after reading a letter
from a citizen of Chanute in which
Hopkins was asked to take some ac-
ton to stop profiteering. The letter
had special reference to the alleged
profiteering in ice in Chanute. 1t
charged that the Chanute Ice & Light
company a short time ago reduced its
prices 20 per cent in order to ruin its
competition; that the competition was
forced out of business and the Chanute
Ice & Light company bought the rival
plant and Immediately advanced the
price of ice 40 per cent, making the
consumer pay 20 cents a hundred
pounds
