GERMANY: WHAT NOW?
BY Joachim Joesten. (Ztf-

Reviewed by
FLETCHER F. ISBELL.

A factual presentation of Germany
since the fall of the Third Reich

The country's inchoate political,

the best future would lie in q

some particular event or subject.
This is true, of course, with the
south side of the Avenue, between
Tenth and what was once Eleventh
streets, with Harvey's at the west
end of the block. The site is now
covered by the north end of the
United States Bureau of Internal
Revenue.
In 1866 we find in the city direc-
tory the advertisement OF Harvey

was between Ninth and Tenth

included two George w. Harveys

and Martin Harvey, living at 41C
Seventh street west.
BY 1868 this firm included in the
partnership Thomas Holden, who
previously had been engaged in the
grocery business at Third and G
streets NV, and by 1870 Harvey
N. Holden had moved to the
location at Eleventh street and
Pennsylvania avenue.
1t seems likely that Thomas M
Harvey died about this time. and

10000 Seedlings
Distributed To
County Farmers

The jackson County landown-
ers and farmers received their
quota of pine seedlings on Sat
urday, February Z.
In cooperation with the board
of supervisors and the agricul-
tural department the seedlings
were delivered free of charge
from the nursery in Mt. Olive,
Miss, to the county agents of
flee on February 4, then on Sat
urday, February Z. a demonstra-
ton was given on 1.-The Correct
Method of Setting Pine Seed
lings" by Ford Hodges, forest
ranger for this area, in coopera-
ton with the county agent.
Ten thousand of these seed
lings were donated by Southern
Kraft Co. for All Club Boys. The
balance of the seedlings were
made available through the Mis-
sissippi Forest Commission free
of charge as provided for in the
House Bill 1894, Laws of 1916, in
which the landowners agreed
to properly plant, care for and
protect the seedlings from fire
and wasteful cutting and other
preventable damages. The county
agent emphasized that forestry
products furnished one of the
largest incomes from Jackson
county and that all of our forest
lands would soon be restocked
with young pine timber if only
we could keep fire from burning
over such areas.
All timber stands should be
maintained by the use of selec-
tive cutting and in so doing each
acr will produce from $1.00 to
$500 per year in the growth of
young timber.
The board of supervisors went
on record as recommending sell
ective cutting and favoring re-
forestation in Jackson county and
requiring such practices on all
county owned land.
