Cloquet Men Tell kiwanis
: Club Facts Concerning
. Forest Conditions
LAND CLASSIFICATION
BOON TO REFORESTATION
Plan of Patroling Forests Also
y. Touched Upon By These
.az Able Speakers

Senator F. D. Vibert, editor of the
Pine Knot, and w. H. Kenety OF
Cloquet in appearing before the XII
wants club in Bemidji Thursday,
touched upon topic which is Of
vital interest to this community, and
in fact to all of Northern Mir sofa,
particularly to that part of the tie
where timber has been cut from A,-,
which ordinarily cannot be used fcs
any other purpose than forestry.
The land classification, which has
been started in Northern Minnesota
and which was carried on last sum-
mer and fall in the southeastern por-
ton of Beltraml county, is looked
upon as the first step in reforesta-
ton. Tracts of land suitable for
nothing else should be the first areas
to be reforested according to Sen
ator Vibert.
The matter of reforestation is far
reaching in its Importance. From ex-
periments and actual reforestation
projects in the state of Maine, where
there are many thousands of acres
regrown in trees, it has been dem
onstrated that such areas bring
greater financial return than any
actual agricultural development. A
constant industry is created which
actually nets the community more
than the agricultural products. This,
it was explained, resulted from the
establishment Of paper and pulp in
dustries in the community which OBJ
tanned a continuous supply of raw
material from which" to make their
products. A continuous supply Of the
raw material was guaranteed from
. the reforestatiUn plan and a con:
tinuous industry established which,
insured labor to a large number and
a constant. source, Of income to the
community. .-
The plan Of patrolling the forests
was also touched upon, and from
the experiences of Mr.. Kenety it
was shown that where patrollmen
were used continually. no serious
fires resulted; even though the slash.
ings had not been burned, but where
the slashings had been burned accord
ing to the rules and laws laid down
by the state and had been left with.
out patroling, bad fires resulted very
often. s~.
Mr.. Kenety is in charge of the for
dstry department of the Cloquet
lumber and paper industries and was
formerly in the employ Of the forestry
department. of the state of Mime
sofa. He has made a wide study of
forestry problems in Canada and the
United States, and is working out
some valuable projects along these
lines near Cloquet.
The Cloquet lumber and paper in
dustries are now working on a plan
to utilize all the by-products and
waste in the mills and make them in.
to wallboard and other finished prod;
ucts.

LABOR HEAD ENDORSES
CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE

It has been long appreciated by
working men and women that tuber-
culosis is one of their deadliest enc
mics and, there fore, it is no surprise
that President Gompers OF the Am,
erican Federation of Labor should
endorse the movement aglnst tins
disease. However, as the fight against
tuberculosis is gaining ground IN
proportion to the amount OF educa-
ton advanced it is well to read
President .Gompers' message.
81 am very glad to express my own
personal interest in an endorsement
Of the Fourte enth Annual Christmas
Seal Sale to be held in December OF
this year. l sincerely hope that this
annual event will result not only IN
much wider extension OF the edu,
cational message of the National
Tuberculosis association and its atfi-
lated agencies than has been, possible
heretofore, but that it will bring to
your organizations a. sufficient rev.
enue with which to carry on their
life-saving work during the year
1922.
81 am mindful of the tremendous
toll that tub erculosis takes among
working men and working women.
So long as this disease takes at least
one out of every six deaths from the
ranks of workers in this country, so
long will the American Federation
of Labor stand shoulder to shoulder
with the national, state and local
tuberculosis associations of the coun-
try in their efforts to suppress this
deadly plague. 90.

probation of the work that you are
