berIands


The following communication to the
Boston Herald, but which so far as
learned has not appeared therein, has
been sent to the Journal. Its state
ment of the situation is pertinent and
we believe will be found interesting:
March IS, 1921.
To the Editor of the Boston Herald,
Boston. Mass:
Dear Sir:
/ have this evening read with in
terest your editorial on How Maine
Has Wasted Its Vast Timber Tracts"
All that you say is of vital interest
to New England. and a part of which
is true. When Maine became a State
a century ago, Maine did not obtain
title to all of the timberlands of the
State, as Massachusetts had been
alternating these great parcels of tim
berland as fast as they could be sur
veyed.
Many of the "Townships" of tim
bcrland were given outright by the
commonwealth of Massachusetts as an
endowment to schools. academies, col
leges, canals, piers, and as the recip-
tents of these vast wilderness tracts
could make no profitable use of them
commercially or industrially. the Gus
tomary method was to put them up in
100-acrc lots and sell lottery tickets
in Boston, thus disposing of the tract
for cash to parties who had no use
for it and no wish to hold it, conse-
quently it was possible to pick those
lots up for a few cents per acre
Some of the family fortunes Of
Maine and Massachusetts had their
foundations in timberland acquired at
few cents per acre after the State
had disposed of the tract.
AS regarding the sale of land bv
the State of Maine, it would seem to
he ~ the financial advantage of the
State to have sold for cash 100 wears
ago, even at low price, as the money
received for the land at fair rate Of
interest. would today be fair price
for the land, and since the sale it has
furnished constant cash income to
the State, as the State taxes this
land to the extent of about 100000
per annum.
ANA NOW, the land is all here, the
property is well looked after fire pre-
vcntative measures the best in the
world, cutting carefully considered on
each tract, and this great forest is on
such soil that agriculture is impos-
Sible with extremely small excep-
tions), thus insuring a continuance

SUGGESTIONS TO FARMERS

We have to acknowledge copy of a
bulletin from Director Beall of the
Bureau of Farm Economics, Cave
City, Kentucky, from which it is pos
sible to get suggestions. It relates
the experiences of the tobacco grow
ers. They finally hit on the plan Of
selling their low grades of tobacco on
the market and pooling their stocks
of better grades. Then they con-
Ceived the idea that farmers in nom
tobacco regions might be interested
in a selling proposition. which in
brief was selling the tobacco to indiv-
idualS for the latter to make up into
cigars and smoking tobacco. They
sent instructions how to do this with
the tobacco, and in some instances
offered a prize with each 3-lb pack
age sent out. In this way they
drummed up a good trade and dis
posed of their tobacco at good ad-
vantage. The director pertinently re-
marks: There seems to be no good
reason why this method of coopera-
ton should not be adopted by farm
ers everywhere in disposing of such
products peculiar to each section as
are adapted to sale in this way"
He thinks the farmers should take
full advantage of the excellent parcel
post which the government has es-

In the list of those who invested
their funds with Ponzi were names of
some of whom better judgment would
naturally be expected. The conclu-
sion was that they knew the scheme
must eventually fail but hoped to win
and get out before the crash. I'm
doubtedly this conclusion rightly ap-
piled to many of them. Now the
court decides that those who did get
their money back are not entitled to
it any more than are the other credi-
tors and they must make restitution.
What they pulled out must go back
into 4 common fund for distribution
among all the creditors. We wish all
decisions of the courts were as wise
and just and reaching in effect
as this 1t should have considerable
influence affecting future schemes Of
this order.
