BIG DECREASE IN STATE FORESTS Indiana. Has 3 Per Cent of Supply 100 Years Ago.

HENRYVILLE, Ind., Aug. 20.—Indiana, neglectful of Its opportunity to Insure a permanent timber supply, should no longer delay but take immediate steps to acquire thousands of acres of waste and hilly lands to be planted to forests, was the consensus of opinion of persons from all sections of the Hoosier state in attendance today at the annual visitors’ day meeting at the Clark county state forest reserve, one mile north of here. Chairman Guthrie, who represented hardwood dealers of the state, in a dilemma over acquiring timber to keep their industries in sustained operation, declared that Indiana, with more than 22,000,000 acres of land area, had less than 10 per cent planted in timber. ‘‘lt is estimated that timber standing in the state today is less than 3 per cent of the supply existing 100 years ago ■when Indiana was nationally known for

the superiority of its hardwoods,” he said. He pointed out that the state of Michigan owns 600,000 acres of timber, 300,000 acres being in large tracts; New York state paid $11,575,000 for 1,767,778 acres and Pennsylvania owns 1,048,090 acres now devoted toward reforestation. “Pennsylvania,” he declared, “has spent $6,200,910 toward rebuilding its I forests and the last state legislature appropriated the sum of $1,006,700 for two j years in order to advance forestry in- | terests. HAVE TO IMPORT. “Wood-using industries of Indiana, capitalized at $175,000,000, employing I labor to tbe number of 70,000 and With lan annual production valued at $140,i 000,000, are now forced to import the j bulk of their raw material from other ! states,” he said. I Gov. Goodrich, Miss Vida Newsom, re- ] publican woman chairman of Bartholomew county; H. H. Friedley, state fire marshal; Richard Lieber, director of the ; department of conservation having su- ! pervision of the reserve, and C. C. Dean, state forester, made short talks. Forests and their relation to soil fertility, how forests prevent laud erosion and floods, maintain water levels and the need of a permanent timber supply for

building materials and for commercial uses, were discussed from many angles by the speakers, all of whom favored and indorsed a comprehensive forestry policy that* will insure Indiana permanent timber for future use. Much of the forenoon was spent in touring the 2,000-acre reserve, C. C. Deam and Charles G. Sauers of the department personally conducting the visitors through the big woods and explaining points of interest." On this tract acquired by the state in 1903 at a cost of $16,000, Indipna is proceeding with the largest experimen* in growing hardwoods ever conducted in the United States. / BABY SHOW PICNIC FEATURE. The Modern Woodmen of America will hold their annual picnic at Fairvlew park Sunday. The program will include a baby show and various athletic contests. TALKS ON STATE GAME LAWS. George N. Mannfeld. superintendent of the state fish and game commission, has returned from Lake Manitou, Rochester, Ind., where he addressed the Cottage Owners’ association in regard to the state laws on hunting and fishing.
