ACRES
NEEDED FOR
/. PULP
Pennsylvania Industry May
Be Forced to Raise All Its
Own Trees.

HARRISBURG. Pa, Feb. &c.
Five hundred thousand acres Of we'll
managed forest land would be re-
Quired to furnish an adequate sup
ply of pulpwood for the paper mills
Of Pennsylvania, a survey just COM
pleted by the State Department Of
Forests and Waters shows. Seventy
per cent Of the pulpwood used in
the twelve pulp mills of the State
last year was imported from Canada
or, other points outside Pennsyl-
vania.
The survey shows that in 1928,
446, 662i cords Of wood was used in
the States pulp mills, or an en-
crease Of $3.50 cords over the fig
ures of 1922. Four Of the mills i'm
ported their entire supplies, but the
other eight obtained less than 80
per cent Of their supply from Penn
sylyania. Only. two mills imported
less than Is per cent of the wood
they consumed.
Twenty-seven per cent of the total
OF the wood used was spruce, and
other woods used in the mills were
poplar, jack pine, birch, beech,
maple, gum and hemlock.
The pulp industry has $4,000, 900
invested in Pennsylvania and en-
ploys 1000 persons, its wages and
salaries amounting to $12.000,0OO
annually This year, and last year
2S5.76O tons of pulp was produced in
the mills, that being a record in
Pennsylvania.
THE pulp mills, the departments
survey indicates, realize that they
cannot indefinitely get adequate sup
plies from Canada and the South,
and at least one is now considering
plans for utilization of a large tract
OF land in the central part Of the
State for the growing Of its own
trees

HUMANS Still
SACRIFICED
IN BURMA
Slaves Are Bought for Pur-
pose From Head Hunters.
British Rule Ignored.

RANGOON, Feb. 26.-Human
slavery and the practice of sacri.
ficing slaves at religious festivals
still exist in the Maya hills, ac-
cording to a report recently issued
by II. A. Thornton, a government
| commissioner.
This district, which is nominally
under British rule, lies in Northern
Burma near the Assam border.
The government has received au.
thentic information of the sacrifice
of six Maya slaves at different
places during the past two months.
The victims were brought from
head-hunting villages whose inhabi.
tants, though they do not them
selves practice human sacrifice, do
not hesitate to sell victims to those
who desire them
Slavery in the Maya hills has
| been decreasing during recent
years, largely on account of the
difficulty and danger involved in
| capturing recruits to replace those
who die or who redeem themselves.
The number found by census
takers this year was 215, as Cd.
| posed to 71',last year.
Some have purchased freedom and
Others have been liberated by their
| masters.
A few have taken the yellow robe
and become Buddhist monks. Those
remaining in slavery are said to
be either contented with their lot
or too lazy and opium. sodden to
work out their redemption.
Until recent years most of the
slaves in this district were Indians
who had been kidnapped in Assam,
but on account of the increasing
hazards of this practice the Nagas
have lately confined their raids to
mountain tribes nearer at hand.
No Indians are known to have
been sacrificed since 1921, when
two authentic cases were recorded.
In capturing new slaves it is GUS
tomary for the Nagas to search for
victims about whom, no inquiry is
likely to be made.
| The Maya tribes are not directly
related to the more civilized Bur
mans who inhabit the plains to the
south.
