John APPLE SEED

Away back century ago a MAJ
was padded up and down the OhiI
river, carrying mysterious bags
Landing at intervals he would take
these bags to places that appealed tt
him and begin work. The bags were
filed with apple seeds. and he was
busy planting these seeds, and talking
apples to the few settlers he met. On
account OF his occupation be was
dubbed Johnny Appleseed by the set
tiers. not In derision, bur in apprecia
ton Because Of his industry, the
Ohio valley became famous for apples
almost before the more thickly settled
regions of the east th0fght much
about them. For hundred years no
name was held in greater yeneratiOn
/ in that valley than the name OF John
ny Appleseed.
So near a century later that 1t seems
almost more than coincidence, there
appears another man not in the print
Z tive wilderness OF virgin land, but
busy planting these seeds. and taking
in the wilderness of ignorance in a
hand that was speeding 10 disaster,
He was a planter OF trees, and he had
a message OF trees. But the trees he
Llanted were OF the kind that had
been a burden in the days Of Johnny
! Appleseed: his message was or the
forest
Perhaps no higher compliment
could be paid Charles 'Lathrop Pack
/ than to call him the Johnny Apple
seed OF forestry. The latter antici-
ipated the need of the Ohio valley in
!, the way Of apple trees; the former
Fanticipated the dire extremity Of the
whole country on account OF the fright
sui waste of forest resources. The
basis OF their work was the same, but
the field OF the latter worker was
smuch broader, Both We're interested
in humanity. and both loved nature
To complete the parable, or com
tparison, Of Whatever it may be called
the work OF Johnny Appleseed woulo
mot have brought the fine orchards Il
the Ohio valley if those to whom his
message was addressed, and ioi
Twhom his labor was done, had not
y needed the message and carried for
ward the work. BY the same token
if the work so we'll begun by the head
of the American Forestry association
Is not taken up by the people Tor
whom he has done it, and if his mes
sage falls on deaf ears, all that he
can do will be of little avail.
With eloquence he has pointed out
what will result if the slaughter OF
the forests without taxing measures
to replace them is continued. With
his own hands he has planted forest
trees; and he has shown others how
to do it, He has done all that mortal
man can do by way of example,
VIII America heed his message and
carry ON the work he has begun? Up.
on the answer to that question de
ponds more than can be appreciated
now. The nation which allows its
forests to perish will itself fall into
decay and be in danger Of periahin2.
France was saved by her forests. The
loss Of her forests doomed China
Which of the two nations do we pro
pose to emulate? Which fate do we
choose, for we must choose?

island the ice pack stretched, to old
eyes as far as the horizon. Day after

like that Of st. Anthony in Labrador.
The main ship channel from Monomoy
Point light to Nantucket was frozen
over. No mails or supplies were re-
'ceiyed ON the island for eight days.
The Cross Rip lightship was forced
from Its moorings when the pack broke
and the lonely ship with its tolling bell
was carried out to sea and lost. ten
men on board. It was hard winter
