NEW LAW WILL ADD TO STATE'S TIMBER SUPPLY Unprofitable Land to Be Put to Its Most Available Use. Wondlnts of many TTooster farmers are eared from destruction through passage of a law by the recent Legislature assessing woodlands at $1 per aero, i.t tlie opinion of Charles C. Doom, forester under the State department of conservation. This law. I* am declares, means the beginning of a general movement toward reforestation of the State's denuded hill lands and lands unfit for agricultural production. Ilad it not been forthcoming soon, thousands of acres of the hill lands of southern Indiana in time would have been cleared, whereas now much of this land is expected to lie devoted to growing timber, he avers. The new law provides that owners of woodland tracts who keep such tracts fully stocked with limber producli.*. trees, and do not graze them, are entitled to have woodlands assessed at SI per acre. In , addition any one planting cleared land to forest lir entitled to the same rate of taxation. The woodlands or forest lands t<* be classified as such must contain-a minimum i tuber of trees per acre of certain age. a i provision is made when trees of rt-reha table size are

The administration of this law is in the hands of the department of conservation and all tracts will come under the supervision of the State forester. Mr. leam. who is now engaged in preparing the necessary blanks for classification, points out that all forest land will be assessed as usual unless owners make application and qualify for classification under this special act. Persons Interested in renewing the nearly exhausted timber supply of the State point to the new law as most timely and claim It should have been passed twenty years ago. Today Indiana has only 7 p-r cent, of its total land area in woodland which does not produce one-half of the timber the State's industries consume. Indiana is Importing the greater part of the lumber conHimed and Its citizens are paying over $1,000,000 in freight rates to get it here. When one realizes that Belgium, with a population almost eight times as dense as Indiana, has almost three times as much forest, it is evident this state has been neglectful of one of its needed natural resources. The new forestry law which is known as 11. B. 77 (Filbert* was considered at a convention of State foresters at Harrisburg. Pa., where it was approved by the leading State foresters of tiie nation. National periodicals have, since the enactment of this law. complimented the Indiana -olons on their sagacity in vin.- ;he State a law .- aul -f ~

comprehensive and intensive forestry policy. While the new law is desighed to encourage private reforestation it will not, as a few who opposed it claim, re move from taxation millions in property from the tax duplicates by reason that not any and all lands can classify. Much of the land expected to be placed in this classification has little, if any. actual value as agricultural land. Most of it is gullied and, if possessed of any soil fertility, the slopes are too steep for profitable cultivation. At the best much of this land has never been assessed
