The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1926-09-23


dimes announcement that only one
road, the Lake county road from Ely
to Fern5erg Lockout, will be permit
ted, means that this remnant Ct the
wilderness will be preserved, virtual
ly intact for a time at least, as a
haven for the wild life still remain
ing and for the recreation of Mime
sotan5 and their guests.
Internationally the protests made
and arguments advanced at the Unit
ed States Forestry Department hear
ing in st. Paul recently had a most
important bearing ON the decision.
The fact that today Minnesota is the
outstanding outdoor playground of
the country and one of the few areas
where wilderness has been preserved
to some extent, was admitted. The
Forestry Department took the posi-
ton that these natural resources
should be preserved for the use OF
not only citizens of Minnesota but
those from other states who desire to
enjoy them.
The Lake county road is designed
primarily for better fire protection in
the forest area and the county will re-
ceive Federal aid in financing it's con-
struction.
Speaking of Minnesota's forests, it
is worthy of note that the conserva-
ton forces are organizing for a cam
paign to inform the public, so that
at the November election the voters
will cast their ballots in favor of
Amendment No. which provides
for reforestation. 1t is felt that lack
of attention alone will defeat the
proposed amendment as it is general
~ admitted that an aggressive pro-
gram of rebuilding as we'll as pre-
serving existing forest areas is OF
vital necessity to perpetuate Mime
sofa as the tour list mecca. Game
and fish have been depleted during
recent years more rapidly than most
Minnesotans realize. Forest growth
is necessary to the proper propagation
of fish and game and thereby the con-
tinuance of these popular outdoor
sports.
Representatives of conservation
and recreational organizations of the
state will meet at the Capitol in St
Paul on October 2 to perfect plans
for the campaign in favor OF Amend
ment No. 2
Minnesota farmers and their neigh.
bors of the Northwest will welcome
the announcement that the Unlteo
States Department of Agriculture has
issued an order permitting the con-
tinuamce of the use of the Perkins
cleaner before establishing wheat
grades. 1t is estimated by 0. ?. b
Jacobson of the Minnesota Railroad
and Warehouse Commission that this
permissive order will save wheat
growers of four Northwest states ap,
proximately $16,000,OOO on this
years crop.
Use of the cleaner permits the
wheat ito be sold on a milling test
sampling being done after the clean
ing. This will save the farmers from
cents to Is cents a bushel, Com
missioner jacobson estimated.
r.

lple of Minnesota again this fall Wher
