Increase in Mortgage Exemption.

Senators HOgston and Decker have
bill pending before the senate COM
mittee on judiciary providing for an
increase in the mortgage exemption
on the assessed value of real estate
from $1,000 10 $500. The present
mortgage exemption has taken $3.50

the state board OF tax commissioners
that if tire Hogston-Decker bill passes

Three-Fifths of PrimevaI Forests
Have Been Cut Away, Says
Forester Greeley.
SUPPLY OF WOOD NECESSARY
Despite Fact That Many Substitutes
Have Been Devised Demand for
Timber Continues to Grow
Much Land ls Idle.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricultural
Timber depletion has now reached a
point in this country where three
fifths Of the primeval forests are gone
and where 81 per cent of the timber
that is left Is west of the Great Plains,
Col. w. b. Greeley, chief forester, for
est service of the Department of Agri-
culture Of the United States, recently
told the members Of the Chicago AS
ISOLATION Of Commerce.
Liberal use of American forests was
q necessary part of the commercial
growth of this nation, Colonel Greeley
believes, but reforestation should have
been practiced, If not from the start,
at least in late years. There Is an
abundant area of forest land in this
country to support all industries, and
liberal supply of wood Is most nee
essary to the people of this country.
1t was thought that, like the European
countries, we would use, when our CIV
ilization was older, but one-third or
one-half as much wood per capita as
we did In the early days. But this
rule does not affect the American peo-
pie. The older the states and COM
munlties In this country grow the
more timber they seem to require in
one form or another.
Demand Continues to Grow.
Many substitutes have been devised
for wood and yet the great demand

grow. More wood is used in construc-
ton today than before the discovery
of concrete, and more wood is used in
building railway cars than before the
steel or part-steel car was developed
This is apparently true in nearly every
industry.
Abundant and widely distributed
forests have meant to the United
States homes for the masses of the
people beyond the standards Of any
other nation. They have placed news
papers and magazines on the average
family table. They have contributed
largely to social and Industrial condi-
lions which promote democracy and
constructive energy rather than dis
content and destructive social forces
bred by hard and comfortless condi-
lions Of life.
The idleness Of 81, 100000 acres Of
forest land, an area increased by g.
100000 to 100000 acres annually,
destructive logging. and still more de-
structive forest fires are the factors at
work to increase the timber shortage.

HENS IN GOOsEBERHY PATCH
Fowls VIII Do Nun Toward Clear
Inq Out Fruit-Worm From Un-

One gooseberry insect we have with
us that isn't easy to control is the
fruit worm. 1t doesn't often become
a serious pest but occasionally 1t has
been known to take a whole crop.
The worm eats into the partly grown
berry and feeds on the pulp. Hand
picking is still the method used to hold
this worm in check. Poultry ought to
be turned into the gooseberry patch
after the fruit is picked, as the hens
will do a lot toward clearing the
worms from under the trash. Poultry
and fruit are good combination
when run right.

has not come about because the for
ests have been used so freely but be-
cause Of the failure tG use forest
growing land. In nutshell, the prob
lem is that the United States Is cut
ting wood out Of It's forests three or
four times as fast as it is being grown.
Much of the land on which timber
stands or has been cut off will always
be forest land. Ii Is ample to grow
all the wood needed for the use of the
people of this country and for export
trade In lumber and products manu-
featured from lumber, IL the land can
be kept at work growing trees. Tim
Der for the future is simply matter
of putting idle land to work.
Every reasonable encouragement
should be given to the landowner to
grow timber on his own account I'm
the ways best suited to his own rur-
poses, but by some means or other the
public must see to Il that forest lands
not needed for agriculture do not lie
idle. The regulations imposed must
be reasonable and equitable. Obvi-
ously the owner of the land cannot do
Il all. The public must aid him In
overcoming the hazard Of forest fires
and must recognize that the present
methods of taxing forests In many
regions are equivalent to taxing a
farm crop twice week during the
growing season.
