FORESTS TAX EXEMPT
BY new STATE LAW;
ALLOW NO BUILDINGS
(By Associated Press,


INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 19.-Plans
for making effective the new state
law, practically exempting forests
from taxation, are being made by
Charles C. DEAN, state forester. In
terest in the new law is being mari
tested by scores of farmers, and Mr.
Dean expects the classification of
land under the new law, to be begun
this fall.
Copies of the law with the expla-
nation of parts of it, are being dis
tributed by the state department of
conservation, for Mr.. DEAN says, "this
country is going to need all the tim
Der it can get in a few years"
Must Measure Woodland.
Owners must have their forest
land surveyed in order to get the ben
eft of the tax rate of 81 an acre on
forest land. and Mr.. Dean points out
that various provisions of the law are
designed to conserve the forests, but
prevent abuse of the low tax rate.
THE reason no buildings are per-
mitted on classified land is to prevent
owners of cottages in woodlands about
lakes and owners of expensive subur-
ban homes from Classifying their hold
ings under this law" say Mr.. Deans
explanations.
NO grazing is permitted" he con-
tinues, because it is not consistent
with the best forest management. A
well-managed forest should have a
good stand of small trees growing to
take the place of older ones when
they are cut. Grazing prevents this.
If the annual rings of growth of 4
stump are counted, it will be found
that they are not uniform, but often
are quite variable. The variations are
most often due to favorable growing
seasons. Moisture is favorable to
rapid growth. Grazing favors a loss
of moisture by tramping and by cut.
ting up and disturbing the leaves that
help to conserve the moisture"

MASKED men ORDER
MINE FIRES PULLED
tBy Associated Press)

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Aug. 19.-Fif-
ty masked men visited the Glendora
mine in the Sullivan county field last
night and ordered Fireman Roy Set
ties and Engineer John Brown to pull
their fires, and leave the mine, it be-
came known today. The orders were
complied with. No violence was done
and no property damaged.
The action is similar to that taken
at the Peerless mine last Saturday
night when Sam Cobb, fireman, aud
Wilson Fry, engineer, were ordered
from their posts
With the exception of last nights
action. which it is said, shows that
the miners are still persisting in their
original demand, there has been no
demonstration of any kind The men
refused to work and the operators so
far as known have taken no steps to
settle the matter.

The Home Garden

Any person who is interested in
growing his own fruit, will find an in
teresting sight on South Sixth street
just opposite the Automatic Tool fac
tory.
Mr.. Klinger has several rows of
huckleberry bushes that are loaded
with berries. They are beginning to
ripen, several of them already being
black. Many green ones are still to
be found. Judging by this attempt
they are easy to grow and will yield
a large crop. The fruit is larger than
the wild fruit found in the northern
part of the state and should the quail
ity prove good they would be worth a
trial in the home garden.
