COMsfUNITY FOREST PAYS ALL
TAXES AND A PROFIT

A community forest which not on
w pays all taxes but this year will
pay dividends as well is described in
press dispatch from Sweden, says
the Forest Service, United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Since time immemorial the parish
Of Orsa, in Delecarlia, Sweden. has
owned certain forest lands in COM
mon, and for many years the forests
have yielded sufficient revenue to
make all local taxes unnecessary.
This year, instead of paying taxes,
the residents of the parish are to
receive a dividend from the COM
. munity. AT town meeting it was
Needed to appropriate 10000
crowns for the purchase Of new seed
grain for spring sowing for free pro
rata distribution among the land
owners.
Community forests are growing in
number In the United States. says
the Forest Service. Several town
forests in New England date back to
colonial days, and within the past
few years town and county forests
have been established in many parts
Of the country.

to treat the seed for root rot, etc.
A Du Pont product semesan Jf. was
named.
Our host then. introduced Mr..
Clark, Of the Maryland Extension
Service. He gave us a splendid live
stock talk. He said that the day OF
the hay and grain farmer was past
and that all farms should feed some
sort of livestock. He said that
greater use must be made of pasture
crops and as a general rule livestock
farming called for larger sized
farms He reminded Us that East
ern hog markets are the best in the
world, but that we should feed eco
nomically, using pasture crops and
save labor by hogging down the
corn. Good corn will carry from
Sc hogs per acre and will produce
from 5O0-s0O lbs. of pork. II is es-
sential to balance the corn with
protein feed such as tankage. He
pointed out that future cattle de-
mand would probably be good as
last year 1870 less cattle were hand
led through the so principal markets
than normally. He also believes
that the sheep industry is worthy OF
more attention by Maryland farmers.
Mr.. Clark was then voted rising
vote of thanks.
We then adjourned to meet on
May l23, 1928, with Reuben Rey
nolds.

PATRIOTIC PACIF1sTs

Switzerland hassuniversal compul-
|sory military service, required Of all
men citizens physically able to par
ticipate. In Switzerland as in other
countries there is an increasing num-
Der of people who have come to be-
lieye that military service is wrong
under all circumstances. Some
reach this conclusion from religious
grounds, someN from humanitarian.
Imprisonment, loss of the right to
vote, misunderstanding. of friends,
popular contempt, do not avail to
turn these earnest men from their
purpose to have nothing whatever to
do with war. ).
But they do want to show that
their belief is not unpatriotic. They
are looking for ways of aiding their
nation. They are willing and eager
to give their strength and skill in
service to their country.
For several years Pierre Ceresole,
a young Swiss who feels that war is
wrong under all conditions, has been
making Opportunities for construc-
tive service to the nation on the part
of those who cannot conscientlously
take part in military service. Teams
have been organized to clear roads
overwhelmed by avalanches, hospital
buildings belonging to poor COM
munities have been, repaired. some
men have volunteered to serve as or
derlies and nurses in contagious
wards of hospitals. All these things
have been done without cost. The
men who do them want to show that
every man owes service, to his COM
munity, although the community
must not require .him to do things
that his own conscience forbids.
This summer Pierre Cersole and
his brother are organizing much
more extensive bit of service. Parts
of Lichtenstein and Switzerland were
terribly damaged by floods last
autumn. For example, in Liechten-
stein the Rhine covered nearly six
thousand acres with rocks and
stones, tore up streets, uprooted tree
land damaged houses. The popula-
tion is unable to repair the damage
unaided. Help is being organized
tby the despised "pacifists. /" the men
who will not do military service.
AS the task is enormous, they are in
viting people from other countries to
volunteer to help, They will not be
paid for their service,
Across frontiers and barriers
erected by man." says the announce
ment of the plan, I'VE wish to bring
effective help to the grievously affiet-
ed. Without being deferred by di-
vergencies of opinion on the military
question, we wish, by mutual and
collective assistance between the
peoples, to help to create the new
spirit which now already makes NOR.
ally Impossible the very thought OF
Invading another country weapon in
hand"
The President of the Swiss Con-
federation and high state officials
are endorsing the project, in spite OF
the fact that many OF the leaders
have been involved In sensational
trials because Of their refusal to do
military service. It is one more in
dication of the growing will to peace,
among the people of Europe.
