in Kent and Sussex counties, several
tracts of virgin timber.
These forests are mostly held by
men well advanced in years, who
will not sell during their life time
and give as a reason that their par
ents before them never would allow
the timber to be cut, and that they
intend to hand it down to their
heirs intact. This would be fine if
the heirs who inherit these fine
tracts. of timber would keep them
from being despoiled by the wood
mems axe, but how often do we see
the destruction of these beautiful
trees as soon as they come into the
hands of the younger generation
who sell quickly to the lumbermen,
Soon that which was so attractive
to the human eye becomes instead
thing of beauty, an eyesore to the
passer by.
Perhaps these tracts in question
could be purchased from the pres
ent owners if the buyer would en-
ter into an agreement that only the
decayed and dead trees should ever
be destroyed This would be a good
chance for some of our very rich
men (whO have more money than
they know what to do With to pur-
chase these virgin timber lands and
keep them from the despOiler hands.
The man or men who would 90
this would confer a lasting favor on
the people of Delaware by conserv-
ing the forests remaining. 1t would
ever be a monument to the memory
of those who would engage in this
laudable work.
We hope this matter will take
root in the hearts of men and cause
them to see the great necessity OF
engaging in this move to save for
posterity some of the natural seen
ery of which Delaware in the past
has been justly proud. We also be-
lieve that for those who would en-
gage in this grand work, it would
soon become a labor of love.
