March 10. 1923.
To Editor of Shenandoah Valley:
It is cheering to read / am not the
only person who objects to the cut
ting of the cedars. / had begun to
wonder If the citizens of Virginia
would submit without even a protest
to such a thing as stripping the
country bare of the last of it's nat
ural evergreens-in this day, too.
when so much information has been
spread concerning the value of bird
life and of trees generally, apart
from their beauty and the sentiment
which always surrounds them.
Last October when / saw those
pitiful stumps on the roadside be-
tween Rude's Hill and New Market
and thought of the thousands of men
and animals who had found shelter
under the picturesque old cedars, it
seemed bad dream--that / must be
still travelling through bleak, monoto-
nous North Dakota.
l suppose the theory is that pos
session like cedar tree. whose value
Ia vague and variable and not OBJ
viously practical. (although / seem
to remember that cedar fence posts
and shade and shelter for pastures
are practical enough, has no stand
ing against an apple tree. whose val
ne (barring frost, etc., can be cal
culated in dollars or cents. But let
any one who thinks that beauty. and
all that makes for pleasant living,
are not real assets to country, take
note of California. its wealth and
progress.
In our effort in the past fourteen
years to restore. improve, and beau
tify Mount Airy, the planting and
care of trees of all sorts have been
our first consideration. As regards
evergreens, all the expensive nursery
trees, tsome specimens costing as
much as SIS apiece), have eventually
died. Only few coarse spruces
and the native pines and cedars have
lived, and only the cedars have
flourished. But they are enough
the lovely Virginia juniper-admire
and sought after by landscape archi-
tects and bird lovers the country ov-
err Then. too. as every one knows,
the cedar is the only young ever
green which does not need to be
fenced from the stock.
On the personal side | naturally
feel deeply. and am most apologetic
to my husband and sons, that this
costly work,-undertaken in good
faith. for reasons the opposite of
commercial-should stand in danger
OF being penalized, if not DESTROYED:
and that. too. for what seems to be a
dubious side issue. in a comparatively
new. but evidently very well organic
ed industry. | suppose it is useless
to expect farmers and country lovers
to Organize" in the effective sense
OF the word-we are generally too
pussy and happy to bother with such
things. but it is hard to believe that
any people. certainly not the con-
sentative, intelligent. hereditary land
owners of the Valley, will in the long
run put up with such an infringe
ment of bed rock rights and prjn-
clples as is involved in the enforced
cutting of beautiful. useful native
trees.
In this matter there is involved
also the destruction of other import
ant things. without the aid of lab
oratory and microscopy. we all
Know about, i. e.. friendly feeling.
neighborly cooperation, compromise
and good will

The Republican majority is vot-

The Pittman bill requires the

producers and compel purchase of
100000 ounces of metal which
the Government does not need.
