lands, disregarding any values which
may have been fixed previously for
purposes of assessment. Reports will
be made for the Department Of Con-
servation and to the Police Jury of
the parish in which the land is To-
Gated, showing the nature and value
of the lands sought to be contracted.
and upon the consent and advice Of
said Police Jury, the Department of
Conservation il the state will be au-
thorized to enter into contract with
the landowner for a period Of ten
years at a value of assessment not to
exceed its actual cash value, provided
that such cash value shall not be less
than So per acre.
At the end of the ten year period,
it shall be the duty of the Depart
ment of Conservation and the Police
Jury of the parish in which the land
is located to again send representa-
tives to inspect the land and refix its
value, and upon such value for taxes,
the Department of Conservation shall
extend the contract period for five
years, and that at the end of this
five-year period, the cash value of
such lands in the same way as pre-

ests from the soil are required to
leave at least an average of one seed
tree per acre. The Louisiana Fores-
try Advisory Board has designated
that a seed tree must be inches in
diameter breast high. Such seed
trees must be left on all lands which
the owner is not willing to make oath
is good farm land, and all land which
would not be sold for general agricul-
turaI purposes. In the second place,
the new law provides that any owner
of cut-over land, or denuded forest
lands, may enter into contract with
the state for the purpose of prac-
ticing forestry on the land for a pc
Rod of years at minimum value for
taxes. It is prescribed in the act
that application made by the land
owner must be filed with the state,
in care of the Department of Conser-
walton, describing the plating of the
land proposed. Then it shall be the
duty of the Department of COnserva-
ton of the state and the Police Jury
of the parish where the land is To-
Gated, to each send a competent land
man to inspect the said lands and ar
rive at the actual cash value of such

viously stated shall be refixed, and
at the option of the owner of the
land, the contract may be extended
for an additional five years, making
total of 20 years under which said
land may be carried under the con-
tract at its minimum value for taxes
for forestry purposes.
The contract itself will provide
that the owner shall practice fores-
try on the land by planting useful
timber trees, and preventing forest
fires insofar as it is practical to do
so. The Department Of Conservation
shall inspect the progress of the work
and see that the terms of the contract
are complied with.

Progressive Forestry
Legislation in Louisiana

This is a brief discussion of re,
cent forestry legislation in Louisiana
and how its application will affect the
cut-over land problem. There will be
three short articles on this subject.
Read them and see if it IS about right
The amended forestry act passed
at the session of the Legislature just
closed, in principle, is a great I'M
Drovement over the old law, and
marks a step forward in progressive
forestry in the United States.
In an essentially timber and tree
growing country, such as a great por-
ton of the Coastal Plains and Gulf
States. a law looking toward the dl-
vorcing Of the land and its products,
for purposes of taxation, is both
scientific and progressive.
In a true sense, trees are a crop,
produced and brought to commercial
size in varying periods Of years, just
as corn, and cotton, sugar cane ana
rice, are produced and brought to ma
turity within a period Of months.
Therefore, to tax a young growing
tree before it reaches maturity, or
before its owner can have time to
harvest it, is just as bad economy
as it would be to tax growing corn
each month. The tax on the products
should be imposed at maturity and
when harvested. The tree crop, in
like manner, should be taxed when
cut. To be sure, there ought to be
a carrying tax on all farm or forest
land, according to its value.
If the country had adopted this
principle of taxation Is or 80 years
ago, it would have been made posi-
BILE, and practicable, to maintain for
ests perpetually on all our present
waste lands. The owner of this land,
be he farmer or lumberman, would
have been sufficiently encouraged to
go to the necessary expense and trou-
BILE to practice protective fire meas
ures and conservative cuttings. In
fact, there would have been the basis
for compulsory laws in this regard.
Before going further, however,
into the discussion of this phase of
the subject, let US see in brief state
