This writer is entirely correct.

the same comparison and the same
remark. We do not really appreciate

are his just for the making. All 1t
takes is some judgment and the will

When you think just how little
work would make practically all o.
our country homes ideals of beauty
and comfort, and apparently how in
different many of the residents OF
these are, it makes you wonder why
it is.
The real magic that is needed to
make this an ideal place is the de-
sire and the willingness on the part
of those who dwell in the rural sec

We are pleased to be able to say
that in Newberry We have many very
beautiful and fine country places and

OUR TIMBER RESOURCES.

THE country is drawing upon it's
forest capital at the rate Of so to 70
billion feet annually writes H. s.
Belts of the US. forest service. in
discussing the timber resources, OF the
United States. Long before the
present enormous forest resources are
eaten up, however," he adds, cit is
more than probable that %readjusting
economic conditions, particularly
higher values for timber and a lower
per capita consumption, will reduce
the annual. drain to an amount not
more than, the annual growth. With
its enormous areas of non-agricultural
lands-apparently best suited to the
production OF timber-tt is probable
that the United States will not only
supply its own needs but continue to
,be a large exporter Of timber. For
the next 80. or 40. years at least, there
is no question as to the ability of the
United. States to furnish high grade
structural timber and lumber from its
southern and western forests to meet
almost any demand for such material
from any portion Of the world"
careful estimate Of the timber
stand gives 2,scG, 900, 900, 600 feet as
the total present amount of standing
timber suitable for the manufacture
Of lumber. The original stand has
been estimated at five trillion, two
hundred billion feet; of the difference
about one-third has been destroyed by
forest fires, one-third numbered and
one-third wasted.
Since 1905, the lumber cut of the
country has been decreasing from
nearly As billion feet in 1909 to about
81 billion in 1918, and. it is estimated
that the 1913 cut will be no larger;
in fact. production Throughout the
year has been running considerably be-
low normal, even in the most favor
able season.
A national forest policy which shall
concern itself largely with c~onserya-
ton, particularly from fire losses, and
with a scientific method ,ofspublic re-
forestration is urgently needed.
