IDLE ACRES MAY BE \umcmn | TSED FOR FORESTS) â€" KEEP FATHER BROKE In proclaiming the eighth annuai American Forest Week, the W‘ of the United States said: "Every year, on the average, 80,â€" 000 fires scourge our woodlands, steadâ€" ily undermining their vitality." Mr. cent of the land area of the United States is in farms, but the farm popuâ€" lation of the Nation has dropped by threeâ€"quarters of a million during the past year. m'safi.ll !or‘!l land of the Nation is estimated at 355,000,000 scres. The lumbermen have made a sad havoc of American forests, and they are charged by exâ€" these forests through careless and unâ€" and downs and it is amazing to beâ€" hold the waste of farm lands. 1 In New York ‘ New York State has embarked upon a program looking toward the reforestation of its 4,000,000 idle and Steps Should Be T for Reforestation; N« York Has Program in cipally of abandoned farm lands.

The productive farm lands of New York State have been decreasing at the rate of 250,000 acres a year for five years. A twenty to thirty year program of reforestaâ€" tion is being planned, and it contemâ€" plates anâ€"actual investment of $5,000,â€" 000 a year of public funds. The sum planting it with trees. If this tious );hn is carried out New York will doubtless lead the way in a Nation wide movement of reforestaâ€" tion. This prophecy may seem a little difficult to digest except for those who have seen with their own eyes the réforestation in Germany, France, Denmark, and other old Eurâ€" opean countries. In the old world they wasted their forests just as we have done in America, and now they plant trees that grow with such exact regularity as to remind one of our Middle West cornfields. Reforest Abandoned Lands A recent report by the State Inâ€" dustrial Survey Commission to the New York Legislature shows that the paper mills of the State have deâ€" ceased their production about oneâ€" half in twelve years at which time there were 96 pulp and paper mills in State. The State now maintains three nurseries operated under its Conservaâ€" tion Department and during the presâ€" ent year these nurseries will produce 35,000,000 transplants for the reforestâ€" wWOMAN, 73, BOSS OF OwWN PLANING MILL saw through a choice piece of cak timber, Mrs. Rachel Neill of Orange, N.
