Today William Gary is hanging
another tricolor in the Gary trophy
room, won by his hunter Tom Tom
at the Maryland Fox Hunters As
sociation horse show and races held
at Marian Curran's farm, Four
Corners, Md, yesterday. Three
thousand horse show fans in attend
ance at one Of the best shows the
association has given in its IL hold

mastery job of plotting the son Of
Canadian Ensign to a "a point VIC
tory over George Mueller's imposing
Ballela.
Tom Tom took the hunter hacks,
and while not winning another blue,
he collected six points in minor
awards for a total score of 10.
Ballela, ridden throughout the show
by Mrs. Frances Ladd, was awarded
the reserve. The big hunter took

Tie for Jumper HonOrs.
Tied on the basis of score for the
jumper championship were James
BANDS Greystone and Joseph Poh-
zell's Way, each having 13 points.
Corpl. Roland Hartman, home on
furlough. did a workmanlike job rid
ing the Bland entry to two firsts and
a third in the open jumper. the
knockdown and out stake and the
go-as-you-please. Way. a spectacu-
lar jumper, won the go-as-you-
please, took a second in the triple
bar, third in the open and fourth
in the knockdown and out. Grey
stone was awarded the champion
ship on the basis of winning the
most blues.
The featured knock down and out
stake turned out tobe a jumping
duel between Greystone and Al
Earnest's Dickey Boy ridden by the
owner. After four jumpoffs both
were tied as they failed on the
second 51a-foot barrier. Rather
than continue the duel the judge
awarded the blue to Greystone
which had tried to negotiate the
jump, while Dickey Boy had re-
fused it three times. The 7-year-
old Greystone is one OF the smooth
est performers seen in these parts
in recent years. He approaches his
jumps studiously and clears them
easily with effortless spring.
The large majority of the crowd
stayed to see the races. The first,
a fiat race ridden at catch weights
over 24-mile course, was won
by Brook Johns Ample with Monty
Ackerman up. in a stretch battle
with Anne Wisemans Caucerian,
ridden by Pvt. Harry Hamilton.
The second was also a fiat race of
about mile and a sixteenth. 1t was
won by E. c. Keyes' Enos K. Pvt.
Harry Hamilton, beaten in the first
race, brought his mount to the front
at the half-mile point and finished
a good 80 lengths ahead of Law
renee Boyce's Pugilist with r. Kirk

there would seem TO be no rea-
son why a really big forestry
program could not be thrown into
high gear on short notice.
THIS POSSIBILITY MAY
prove welcome indeed. If un-
employment becomes a major
problem during the demoboli-
cation period. Probably as
many IS two million men could
be employed TO good advan-
tage. We must moi make the
mistake. however. of chasing
these workers as dependents
or relief cases. They will be
doing skilled work. which
eventually will Weld a profit
any business man could be
proud of. and they should be
paid regular wages 49,.
Small businesses also might
be expected to benefit from any
program to put our forests on a
permanent producing basis. AS
the lumber industry shifts into
smaller units, it will provide OPP
FORTUNES for operators with
small capital in milling, logging,
and finishing :"
That, in outline, is Mr.. Thomp-
sons plan. 1t is an ambitious
plan, and it may seem imprac-
teal to some. Yet Mr.. Thompson
has been a hard-headed business
man in lumber financing for
forty years, and it would seem
that he is in a position to know
what our forests are actually
worth, and what danger we face
of losing them, and what can ac-
tually be done to save them.
The whole subject of refores-
tation is worth our serious study,
Mississippi was m of the great
lumber producing states, and sec
~ond-growth forests, with proper
care, grow better here than any
where in the nation. If such a
lo%ng-range plan of reforestation
could be placed on an economic
basis, where it was actually add
ing as much or more to our ma
tional wealth as it was costing,
(Which Mr.. Thompson believes),
it might be greatly to the advan-
tage of our people to have this
kind of work in the postwar
years ahead.
1t would seem a good idea to
US if a forestry committee of
local citizens. perhaps In the
Chamber Of Commerce. would
begin TO study the field. other
plans along with MI. Thomp-
sons. in order that we could
have a background for intelli-
gent action when these matters
begin TO come up in the post

done little damage to American

Even Jap sea mines have been

they have lost virtually every

ing 336 million acres of forest
country. including nearly all
tracts with no commercial
value. gradually would be
bought up by public agencies
federal state and local.
Under this sort of arrange
ment, the sawmill and veneer,
pulp, and paper plants would
buy a large percentage of their
timber from farm woodlots and
public agencies. The lumber in
dustry would stop depending on
the speculative increase in value
of its timber holdings-its main
source of profit in the past-and
would make a steady and rea-
sonable profit out of manufac-
turing lumber and other wood
products.
1.-The public-owned forest land
would be managed primarily to
restore trees to cut-over or fire
damaged areas, and to produce
gradually rising income as the
new growth gets large enough
to cut. But this acreage also
would be handled with a num-
Der of other important detectives
in mind-to provide grazing
areas, to protect wild life, to con-
troll run-off in the watersheds
which are vital to irrigation,
flood control At the same
time, the public forests would in

up to the very limit of economic
possibility. A first step to this
end might be long-term, low
interest federal loans to capable
operating companies which want
to engage in sustained-yield lum-
boring. The loans should be
made payable, both principal
and interest, only when harvest
ing starts. Estates. foundations,
and insurance companies should
be encouraged to offer similar
long-term financing. Tax laws
might be revised, as they already
have been in some states, in or
der to postpone payment on
growing forests until they reach
the cropping stage. Farmers
who own nearly one-third of all
commercial forest land-should
be taught that trees can become
one of their most dependable
and lucrative crops, and state
and federal programs for aiding
farm forestry should be expand
ed.
Even under the most favora-
BILE conditions, however, private
enterprise could never shoulder
the entire responsibility for con-
serving and rebuilding Americas
forests. A large part of the job
must be handled by the govern
ment, because in many areas 1t
alone can supply the funds and
management personnel and stand
the long wait for the harvest and
the profits. AS the states build
up the necessary capital and or
ganization, they properly can
take over large acreages. But
for the beginning-which is now
lit is a federal job.
To-day about 1856 million acres
of forest land are in public own
ership; federal. state, and local.
Probably an additional 80 mil
lion acres should be acquired by
the federal government and adj
ministered as national forests.
Still another SO million acres
should go into state and commu-
nifty ownership. The cream of
the forest land would still re-
main in private hands. Public
agencies would buy up, in gen.
eral, only that land which is so
unproductive or inaccessible that
private capital could not afford
to grow timber on it
"As a business man land, l
think, a conservative one) l am
constantly aware of the burden
of public debt, and the many de-
mands on the federal purse
which may be expected after the
war. Therefore, it seems to me
important to note that govern
ment operation to restore COM
mercial forests will not impose
an additional load on the tax
payer; on the contrary, it should
return a tidy profit

In 1880 our forests looked in
exhaustible and there seemed to
be no need for looking ahead and
replanting. But time caught up
with US. Our national pupula-
ton trebled itself, the demands
for lumber increased, the lum-
bering practices grew ever more
competitive and reckless; and
then one day, four-fifths Of our
national forests with accessible
timber were gone. Today, after
the added drain of wartime lum-
boring, we enter the period of
peace with considerably less
than 100 million acres of virgin
timber still standing, out of 462
million acres of forest growing
land. About a third of what is
left, according to Harpers, lies
in mountains so rugged and re-
mote that it cannot be harvested
economically.

approach this problem in a noaion-
al way. 1t can never be solved
alone by our boys organizations

THE COLUMN THIS WEEK

THE COLUMN THIS WEEK
is going to thumb a ride with
Harper's Magazine, which has an
excellent article in its August
issue on the problems of defor-
estation and reforestation, and
an interesting plan for wood
farming on a tiol scTyremfwyp
farming on a national scale.
Reforestation has gotten to be
such a familiar word by now
that il has lost much of it's mean
ing for many people. 1t is get
ting in a class with certain broad
and abstract terms like Citizen
ship which everyone more or
less agrees upon but which they
rarely think about in its actual
dav-to-day meaning.
Reforestation? Sure, we need
it. This is the reaction of every
body who knows what the word
means. And even those who
don't--if you once explain to
them that means the planting Of
trees to reforest the millions of
acres of burned and cut-out land
these will agree also that re-
forestation is a good thing and
we ought to have it. But actu-
ally our national efforts in the
field of replanting and reclaim
ing u timber lands are far
short OF what they should be if
we are ever to start catching
back, and to grow more timber
each year than we cut.
So far we are working at the
problem in a patchwork manner.
The All clubs and the Boy
Scouts and the Forest Service
and other institutions are plug
ging away, and during the de-
preston the CCC camps were
one of the most successful of all
the relief agencies and gave a
convincing demonstration as to
what could be done on mass
scale. But altogether these agen-
cies have not begun to catch
back on the annual losses by cut
ting, fire and insects. We are
only in the kindergarten stage of
reforestation. And unless we get
a move on, another generation
will see America practically de-
nuded of its virgin timber and
much of its second growth.
WE HAVE TO co INTO
this thing on a national scale.
The countries on the crowded
continent of Europe have been
keeping their forests alive and
productive for centuries by the
practice of intensive wood
farming. Wien a European
cuts a tree he plants one. and
he plants il where ii belongs
and where il will grow. And
When his grandson or great
grandson cuts that tree some
seventy years later. he plants
another fer his own descen-
