"YELLOWBACKs" OR MELLOW" BACKS

STLHOUETTES OF

STATE CAPITAL BuREAU,

MONTGOMERY, Aia.s March 21.-
Alabama's forestry, Law, passed by the
1929 legislature, is thsgbest piece Of
legislation of its kind rhacted by any
state. according to Major Page s.
Bunker, state forester The Alabama
law makers took advantage of the good
features, and avoided thes bad points.
Of similar laws previously passed by
other states, Major Banker stated.
One feature of the Aws to which the
forester called attention, was that
which makes it a misdeamean0r for any
person to set fire to woods or stubble
on the lands of smother, or on their
own. lands without giving five days
written notice to adjacent land owners,
unless all possible precautions have
been taken to prevent the spread of
the fire to the adjoining lands.
Another phase of the @faw is that
which provides for deferred payment
of taxes on young timber. Instead of
being required to pay the tax annually,
owners can enter into an agreement
with the state whereby the payment of
the taxes can be deferred until the
timebr is cut, when the state will re-
ceive ten per cent of the value Of the
timber.
