Reforestation.

Some fifteen years ago, Henry
E. Harltner, President of The
UraEin Lumber COMPANY, bcyar
experimenting with reforestation
He discovered that long-leaf pine:
would grow back if given ade
quate protection. Later, he co.
operated with the State Depart.
ment of Conservation. anu the
National Forest Service in some
wonderful demonstration work.
He now has 10000 acres under
co tract with the state. We have
a law in this state greatly rcJuc
ing the assessment on lands that
are so protected that proper re
forestatiom may take place.
When you soc a piece of cus-
over land, fenced aaL protect, d
from fires covered with a fine
stand of luxuriout young pines,
it is an unanswcrable argument.
Especially is this so, when just
outside this fence where hogs
range free and fires burn un-
checked, you see not one young
pine.
Nature always provided for a
succession of forest trees. but if
man brings in agents that destroy
natures provisions, then that. sue
cession is sadly interrupted. So
it is encumbent upon us to keep
out these destructive agents.
SO important is the forestry
work being done at Urania, that
each Spring the graduating class
of the Forest School of Ya.e Uni
rersity comes down to do field
work, camp there and spend sew
eral months in studying the meth
DDS.
Just now the special aim of
those interested in forestry is to
get the lumbermen to leave
enough seed trees on cut.over
ands to reforest them. Think
or q moment what it would mean
% this state if every lumber
nan had done this from the time
hey began cutting twenty-five or
hirty years ago. Thinking peo-

,AYs HUSBAND PLAYS VERY
GOOD GAME OF GOLF.

Mrs. Cox spoke awhile about the
Governors fondness for golf and his
ability to play the. same game no
matter how long an interval occurred
between games. AS If this bore an
unflattering implication she was
quick to add, But he plays a very
good game. He and play together
occasionally, although we have not
been out recently. Little Ann inter-
feres with golf and, in fact, with any
thing that does not directly concern
her ladyship. My husband and
here Mrs. Cox smiled with side
long look and q slight change Of in
tonation, does not think that / play
a very good game of golf. Before we
were married, we played together a
great deal and then he thought was
quite wonderful.
But can say, by way of rejoinder,
that 1 don't think that he plays a
very good game of bridge. No, not
rery good, and we always play on
opposing sides. That gets us away
from married bridge, as 1t Is called.
II makes for harmony, you see."
Again the smile, and with 1t a rip
pie of laughter.
Motoring, Mrs. Cox said, was one
of her chief diversions, by reason of
the fine roads that lay all about them.
'T am so fond of motoring that l
thought nothing OF making three
trips to the Dayton railway station
to-day" she added. 1T was partly
the fault of the two kinds of time we
have here, daylight saving and rail-
way time. My husband asked II
would not go to town to meet the 8
o'clock train, on which some house
1uests were to arrive. l drove in at
good speed to be in ample time and
discovered that was an hour ahead
of time. So hurried back to Trails
End and in an hour motored back
again. This time l found. the train
an hour late. So before met our
