numerous Vermont towns to put forward
their respective advantages. The Med

no reason why this town should not be
given as much consideration as many of

The problem of providing sufficient

every parent ought to be interested, and

THE ANNIHiLATION OF
A GREAT FLORIDA ASST

Is It a truism that we are the most
wasteful people on this globe? We
can we'll remember when as boy
we came to Florida from far west
ern state and heard the common
statement that the supply of long leaf
yellow pine within our borders was
inexhaustible. AT that time 1t was
possible to travel on horseback for
weeks lat time in Florida through
beautiful open and wonderfully regu-
lar long leaf yellow pine forests,
without seeing a clearing Of more
than five or ten acres What terrible
transformation in such short inter-
val of time has been brought about
through the awful destructiveness OF
the great American lumberman's axe.
One of our best authorities, the
Southern Pine Association, estimates
that 81 6 per cent of the mills work.
ing on long leaf yellow pine will cut
their supplies in five years, 95.3 per
cent in ten years, and SO per cent In
fifteen years. Again federal forestry
experts place available supply OF
southern yellow pine at the present
time, at 222 billion feet and allowing
the present annual cut of II billion
feet, they find that the present sup
ply of long leaf yellow pine will be
completely exhausted In only fourteen
years hence. Not only are we most
wonderfully efficient in practicing
wasteful forestry methods in luMber-
ing, but our turpentine operators are
equally as successful In eradicating
the second growth saplings that have
been able to withstand the assaults of
the forest fiend incarnate. This naval
stores business is no baby by any
means, bringing In an annual reve-
nue. to the south and to large de-
gree, Florida, of 500, 100000, but how
much longer will these figures stand,
based on the tapping of living trees
In France where sylviculture Is
conducted scientifically, pines are
successfully turpentined through a
period of twenty years, then cut for
timber with no loss whatever, even to
the recovery OF oils and fiber from
the pine needles. Will we ever come
to this in Florida?-Florida Grower
