at cost, with the Federal agency paying
part of the nursery expense. Under the.
system, 100000 seedlings were distribu-
ted in eleven southern states during 1914,
with the cost to the purchasers usually run
ming about $1.75 per thousand.
Woodland owners purchasing trees in
the southern region indicated almost 100
per cent that their paintings were to be for
the purpose of wood production, in con-
trast to the great plains areas where plant
ings were mostly designed as windbreaks
and shelterbelts.
We are happy to say that :. under the
New River Soil Conservation 81 District,
much increase in planting .bothnin2 Ashe
and Allegheny counties has been notice.
able in recent years This, together with
planting work done through the county
agents office, has made more people more
conscious of the Importance of re-plant-
ing trees. Let's keep this up, not only as a
soil conservation measure, but for the
beauty and commercial value of our trees.

It's A Long Road To Tokyo

Gradual collapse of German resistance,
coming on the heels of an unbroken string
of sensational Allied victories, has for some
reason made some people sure of a quick
ending to the separate Japanese war.
Before we climb on the bandwagon of
those prophets who predict sudden Jap
anese downfall, it might be wise to consider
just few facts about our Pacific enemies.
To begin with, the Nipponese soldier has
but one destiny-to fight and die! In the
India-Burma theater, Lord Louis Mount
batten's allied troops killed 100000 Japs in
IA months i. Prisoners numbered 400.
The same story of fanaticism was told in
Saipan, Two lima E. . and now in Okinawa.
Yet the Japs we have faced thus far
have only been outpost divisions. Our
boys must still meet their first-line troops.
There are over 100000 of then-fresh,
waiting, spelling for a fights Some of them
have yet to be called up for military serv-
ice
Invasion of the Jap homeland will call
for colossal effort Preparations for D.
Day in Normandy were made from bases in
Britain. Supplying our Pacific forces will
mean shipping material $500 miles from
San Francisco to Manila and another l.
$40 miles from there to Tokyo.
Our Pacific supply problem is the great
est in the whole history Of warfare. With
out adequate material, our armies cannot
hope to win the japanese war. These sup
plies depend on pulpwood =. . more and
more of this precious forest product, be-
cause Pacific supplies must be double
wrapped.
The distance to Tokyo in miles is long.
Measured in time, it depends in large part
on what we do to help at home. NOW,
more than ever, we must cut peeled top
quality wood 1t can help shorten the
trip to Tokyo by months.

We Could Be Less Careless

heart rendering story came from across
the Pacific the other day. A bomber crash
ed and a member of the crew was hopeless
ly trapped in the flaming wreckage. After
number of futile attempts at rescue, an. Of
ficer Mortified spectators, unable to stand
the victims screams longer, stepped up and
ended the doomed mans life painlessly
with his service As. The officer was later
exonerated at military trial.
The foregoing incident was tragedy
of war Yet it differs from similar incidents
that happen regularly in peacetime only in
respect to the method by which the person
dying in the flames was put out of his mis-
cry. The ten-thousand-od souls who die
by fire in this country every year do it the
hard way. They simply scream until they
are cooked
If this sounds unnecessarily morbid
and merciless, take a look at the nations
fire bill-upward of half billion dollars.
When it comes to fire, America is grossly
careless We are careless in our homes.
We are careless in our factories and around
places of amusement We are careless in
our forests The results is fire obstruction
on scale of almost unbelievable proport-
ions.
We could do something about fire if
we wanted to. We could be less careless.
We could heed the lessons of experience
and fire prevention authorities, which tell
US over and over that real fire prevention
is highly individual business question
of detail, of putting out matches and Gig
arettes properly, cleaning up the easements
and attics, keeping heating facilities in

That Extra Bond


Most Americans realize that it is import
ant to reach our national goal in war bond
drives, not only to help finance the war but
to make it clear to our enemy that our
home front is still backing the war with out
any let-up.
So far the goals have been reached
and we have all felt lot of satisfaction in
the results. But everyone knows that
there are lot of people who, in each drive,
get "free ride" That is, they share in the
satisfaction of seeing their country 60 oyer
the top, but don't do anything themselves
toward the achievement of the goal
Buying war bonds, beside being good
investment, is the best form of insurance
we know of to protect those things which
are dearest to us.

Replanting Forests

The South led all regions and South
Carolina all states in distribution of seed
ling trees for forest planting stock. during
1914 under the Clark McNary and Norris
Doxey Acts, Regional Forester Joseph c.
Kircher reports.
Figures compiled by the Washington
Office of the U. S. Forest Service showed
other southern states well up in the, list of
distributors with Florida ranking in fifth
place and Georgia sixth. Immediately be-
hind the Palmetto State were Wisconsin,
New York and Pennsylvania, all states in
which scientific forestry has been prac-
tised generally far longer than in the
South.
The Congressional Acts under which
the distributionof seedlings is made at cost
provide for a cooperative agreement be-
tween State Departments of Forestry and
the U. S. Forest Service by which the for
mer maintain the nurseries and distribute
the seedlings to private woodland owners
