THE REFoREsTATIoN
OF CUT-OVER LANDS

Despite the hostility evidenced by
a few interested persons here and
there in the State, the reforestation
idea IL growing rapidly In Louisiana,
as indeed it is throughout the United
States. The practice of forestry must
come some time. II it is begun now
nature will do the work and will only
ask ordinary protection in return. II
delayed nature will be powerless to
do the work, and human labor and
considerable cost in money will be re.
Quired. The experience of the race
for thousands of years has been that
Cenuded lands become desert lands,
striking examples OF which are north
Africa and Asia Minor. Floods cause
immense damage as the trees disap-
pear, and lumber becomes so scarce
and dear that other material has to
be found for building.
The evils that come from the de-
Rtruction Of forests can be cured by
leaving one or two seed trees to the
acre and the protection OF the grow
4Hs trees from fire. The cnst is in
finitesimal in comparison with the
benefit accruing, and there are mil
lions Of acres Of land in the yellow
pine territory of this country that can
be put to no more profitable use than
the growing Of trees. There is a
great deal of land now in forest OF
from which the trees have recently
been cut that can be profitably cultt
waited for food crops, and this should
be put into agriculture. But that land
that nature intended should be de
voted to forests and nothing else
should be reforested. The matter il
one OF business, as we'll as having an
esthetic side. II lands are suited fol
agriculture they should be devoted tc
Agriculture. If reforestation pays bet
ter on a particular plot, reforest the
land suited for new timber growth
The land now lying vacant that can
not probably be devoted to agricult
ure. and there is much of it, should
be reforested at the earliest possible
time.

FUR SEASON OPENS

A New Orleans buyer Of furS de-
clares the receipts Of skins in that
city has been the smallest ever known
at this time Of the year. The same
statement applies also to New York
and st. Louis, and is attributed to the
warm and dry weather which has In
terfered with trapping. In Louisiana
this cause was added to the fact that
receipts have been cut down in New
Orleans by the opening OF the season
two weeks later than usual.
No one can make an intelligent es-
innate of the catch OF fur-beaF1n8
animals during the present season.
add even the figures Of last year are
not vet available, because certain
dealers took the matter OF the tax
into court, and though the state won
the case full payment has not yet
been made. The value Of the furs on
which contention was made was about

Amerlcan-Born Chinese Girls Work
Hard to Fit Themselves to Help
Less Fortunate.

Few people are acquainted with
that unique type Of girl. the American.
born Chinese. She is far different
from her sisters In the Orient. As q
rule she has made the most of her CD.
portunities in America.
The Chinese have the genius to
make work a pleasure and an art.
Their student life is full of delight.
Study for them seems to be an In
stinct.
MISS Edna Cameron, who has taught
q great number Of Chinese girls In
Portland (Ore.) schools, recently said
that she found them honest, diligent,
fair-minded and always polite and
kind.
1T would seem quite impossible for
them to be unkind or to do an impo-
lite act. BY nature they are honest,
contented and Woodworking and ex.
press gratitude for their education"
she said.
Many Chinese girls in America are
hitting themselves for business, either
In the Orient or In this country.
There are scores of young Chinese
girls In America who have attained a
vast amount Of the good offered in
this land and who now are dreaming
OF going to the land of their ancestors
